Happy New Year!!!!

As many of you know I am not much for looking backwards except to learn from past experiences. I am not taking this time to review what we all know other than to thank everyone who has been in my life and continues to support my journey.  You are all very important to me in the past and in the future. So thanks for everything you did and continued to do!!

I choose always to look forward!! I can't tell you how excited I am to greet another new year full of promise and hope. I have my plans in place and it is action time!! I hope everyone has a Happy Healthy and Prosperous new year!! Dare to dream and dare to work your dream!! Never underestimate the power one person has to effect the world positively and always remember that.......Petite Girls Rock!!!!!!

It is That Time of Year

HAPPY HOLIDAY'S

 It is the time of year that I think about all of the wonderful blessing that have happened during the past year. This year has been just full of wonderful things. I am truly blessed and honored to have had so many opportunities to work with so many talented people. I appreciate each and every one of you more than I can express in words.  It has been an amazing year!! I also am so blessed to have so many people supporting me everywhere. Thanks for all of the nice notes, comments, message and support from everywhere. You all are amazing and have made my year!! I Hope everyone is having the Best Holiday season ever. I wish everyone Peace, love, hope and health. Stay tuned for 2012 It is going to be outstanding!!  It is with your support that..... Petite Girls Rocks !!!!!

Don't let those Holiday pounds creep into the New Year!!

During the holiday's we all eat more than normal and we all eat things that tend to pack on the pounds. I think it is because we are all running around shopping and attending parties and just put things into our mouth to get rid or our hunger. It is also when we are exposed to our traditional foods that we look forward to this time of year. I say enjoy everything in moderation. I am not one to deprive myself of the things that I look forward to, I just don't indulge every meal of every day. I know we have all heard this but I have found if I tell my self I can have anything I want, I just can't have everything I want, it helps me really determine what is most important to me . Once I make that determination I enjoy and don't feel guilty. I think guilt leads to self destructive behavior and over eating. I also try and get in some exercise everyday. Exercising everyday helps burn the extra calories that we are consuming and it helps rev up our metabolism for the future!! My workout consists of Aerobics everyday and weight lifting twice a week. I try and mix up the activity not to get bored and I love the Sexercise Tape that helps with both muscle building and aerobics all in one!! So Eat in moderation and enjoy your holiday gathering and stay in control with smart decisions and  exercise!! We will all greet the New Year leaner and healthier and ready to take on the challenges and opportunities that will come. Keep your ultimate goals in mind and remember.....Petite Girls Rock!!!!!!!

Enjoying the Holiday Season!!

The Holiday season is in full swing and and for many of us it is a time of reflection and remembering the seasons of past. In this busy season we all need to take time out for ourselves so that when the world starts to pull us into many different directions we are physically and emotionally ready for what the world has to offer. I try and make sure to always get my workouts in for many reasons but mostly because it gives me energy and endorphins that keeps me going strong and positive. I know that it isn't always easy to do during this busy time but if you do it you will have much more energy to handle the craziness of the season. In addition to working out it might be time to re-evaluate your dietary needs and look to keep them more balance in these unbalanced times. Some tricks I have learned is to look for the fresh fruits and vegetables at the parties and to exchange club soda for champagne just some small changes will leave you with lots of energy that last the whole season!!.

It is also a time that we spend time with friends and family. Enjoy them. They are the backbone of your life and they need to be put first on your list during this time of year.  Frequently friends and family get pushed to the back burner during the everyday bustle. I find that spending time with them during the holiday's  keeps me grounded  and focused on what really is important in life! It is a joyous time, but crazy and sometimes we loose track of what and who we are.  Don't loose track of the simple things and the more complex things won't overwhelm you.  Keep strong and fit so that you can always show the world that you rock and.....Petite Girls Rock!!!!

It's the Start Holiday Season

We made it through Thanksgiving and I hope you all survived the food feast followed by the shopping frenzy. It was crazy this year with all the stores opening up even earlier and the people were crazy!! I managed to get out for a little while to search out some deals. It has been a tradition for me since I was a young girl!

It was exciting weekend for my career this weekend as well!! I have a new feature in the House of Styles Magazine. http://www.houseofstylemag.com/  it is on page 20! Thanks so much House of Styles Magazine for including me! I am finishing up the year with a busy schedule of shoots and some travel. Keep connected with me on my FB page for all the updates and newest images!! It seems to be the time of year that plans change fast!!  https://www.facebook.com/theworldofjax.

The Holiday Season!! One of my favorite times of the year! Stay focused, spend time with family and friends and never forget.......Petite Girls Rock!!!

Thanksgiving Week

Wow Thanksgiving 2011 is in just a few days. This year has just flown by! It is time to think about holiday fashion. This year it is all about the glitz and glamor of the season. I just love it. The sequins the sparkle and the bold and beautiful makeup!! For all of us petite girls we need to know how to modify the styles for our frames. I like to stick with solid colors and smaller sequins not to overwhelm me. I also prefer to wear either short or floor length dresses, both help to make the most of our bodies. When looking at shoes I love the higher platform styles. The platform shoe gives me that little extra height without being uncomfortable to wear for longer periods of time because your foot isn't at a drastic angle. Taking a look at the makeup it is time to sport a darker lip and eye makeup as well as full hair. Yeah for glamorous times ahead. Go out and sparkle with style and remember.....Petite Girls Rock!!!

Changing of the clocks and Seasons

This weekend was the time of year that we changed our clocks. Fall back! We all gained an hour of sleep. Some really look forward to that however for me I just woke up to early. I do have to say it is nice to be able to leave for the day in the daylight.

It also signifies to me the start of winter (even if the calendar disagrees). I am looking forward to the holiday's and celebrations with family and friends.  Most of the celebrations include lots of food and drinks. It is a time if we aren't careful that our food intake can go up and our energy level can go down. It is more important than ever to continue your healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and planned food choices.  No on wants to have extra pounds by the end of the season. I try to get in extra aerobic exercise  and the Sexercise tape is an awesome and fun way to do that. If you are looking at working toward a healthy lifestyle check out www.ILoveSeXercise.com and let this program help you through the pitfalls of the holiday season.

In the fashion forecast for these celebrations it is all about sparkles and Glam. Love the looks that they are showing this year and I love the ones I was privileged to model during my Red Paris shoot. Check out the line at www.redparisusa.net. Stay abreast of all the season fashion at Bella Petite on line fashion magazine where they continually feature all the latest styles and trends www.BellaPetite.com Stand up and be noticed and remember ....Petite Girls Rock!

Happy Halloween

October 31 Halloween, one of my favorite fall day's!! Trick or Treat, Costumes, Hot Cider and friends and family...what is not to like!!

Enjoy all your celebrations!!!

This is also the time of the year that I need to plan for next year. I take a look at my written plan from this past year and compare it to what I have actually accomplished. I also re-evaluate what is most important to me and how to proceed from here.  I always find it interesting to remember where I was so that I never stop appreciating all the good things and people in my life and understand where I need to improve.  I find this process to be very rewarding and necessary to continue progressing and achieving my goals. It also serves as a guide for me all year long when making decisions on what opportunities would be best for me to take and or not. If you haven't already start  your plan!! Keep pushing forward and remember....Petite Girls Rock!!!!

"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." ~ Helen Keller

I have always been a big fan of inspirational quotes and this is one of my favorites by Helen Keller. It tells me not to settle for less than everything that you want out of life! I always try and keep this in mind when making my plans for my day, week, month and year, Quotes alone won't get us to our end goals but they are helpful in keeping our end goals in sight. I think it is also helpful to break down our day to day activities and thoughts guiding us to our end goals. My Friend who is also a life coach says " Thoughts + Words + Actions = Reality" this is the road map to life and the achieving of goals.

When I was in high school I was introduced to the Book "The Secret" and it was life changing for me. I finally realized that the only thing I can control is me and my own thinking. I learned that what I thought makes a difference as to how I feel and how I felt was how I was acting which at the time wasn't returning for me what I wanted. This was a huge discovery for me. If I changed my thoughts everything else followed accordingly. I have tested this one theory numerous times and all I can tell you is that is is with out a doubt the single best lesson I learned so far in my life! Try it yourself!! and remember with this help......Petite Girls Rock!!!!
