Lettie Paddle

 

 

Lettie Paddle is a great cause that we have had the privileged to be asked to get involved with.

 

It is an amazing story of a selfless friend (Danica) who has undertaken to be the first woman to paddle from Richards Bay to Durban to raise awareness for cancer and funds for her special friend Lettie who is fighting her battle with cancer.

BodiBronze Spray Tans

You will remember BodiBronze from our gorgeously tanned models at our Launch last month. We caught up with Sam to find out more about her business and the benefits of spray tans.

 

 

What inspired you to start a mobile spray tan business?

 

I have always loved the fashion and beauty industry. I used to tan quite a lot when I was a teenager and have seen that this is very damaging to the skin. The sun is so damaging and we are all trying to beat wrinkles and ageing. A fake tan is one way of combating ageing. You don't need the sun to have a great tan! In this day and age, woman have their hands full juggling work, children and home chores, that they just don't have the time to get to a salon for a spray tan. I recognised that I could offer these woman a spray tan in the comfort of their own home. I am a mom of a gorgeous 3 year old boy and this line of work still affords me the opportunity to spend loads of time with him but also run my own business helping woman look and feel great. Its amazing what a tan can do to your self confidence!

What products do you use and why?

I use Caribbean tan professional. Caribbean tan has such a great, natural looking colour. Unlike many other self tan ranges, Caribbean tan has an ABC system to ensure you never look orange. A for light skin, B for medium and C for Olive skin. The range also contains a Cinnamon and Coconut Skin Smoothing Exfolia (with added Jojoba oil) that smells good enough to eat and a Body Butter and shimmer to be used post tan. I also love that they have a home range with different application methods from aerosol, to mousse and spritzer. The product is also locally manufactured which is great. We all need to try support local as much as possible:)

 

How long does a spray tan last?

A spray tan can last 6 - 14 days depending on how well it is looked after.  To ensure a streak and patch free tan, one must always exfoliate before hand.  There are a few do's and don'ts.  For example, don't go for long swims or soak in the bath, don't exfoliate again too soon after you have had a spray tan etc.  The skin must also always stay moisturised to try and prolong the skin exfoliation process.  I recommend using the Caribbean tan Milk and Honey Skin Hydrating Body Butter, specially formulated with silk products to ensure a longer lasting tan. 

What is the best part of doing what you do?

I enjoy being able to change peoples perspective of themselves with something as simple as a spray tan.  It really is amazing how much confidence one gains.  A tan is very slimming and there are tricks one can do to help this illusion even more.  For example, putting a second layer of tan on the outer and inner thighs makes the legs appear slimmer.  I love being part of the beauty industry.  It is very important for woman to love and appreciate themselves regardless of age, size or colour.  I love being able to help them love themselves just that little bit more.

Who should get a spray tan?

 

Its great for those who want a bit of colour whether it be for a function, a day at the beach or just to look great. A self tan also evens out skin tone so its great for those who maybe have a brown upper body from tanning when wearing tank tops but still have white legs. 

Its really fun for bridal showers. I do bridal showers and spray tan the bride and her friends at very reduced rates. Tanning parties. Wedding and matric dances are the most popular. If the tan is for a wedding, it is best that a trial tan is done at least a week before and the actual tan is done at least a day or two before the wedding. There are also a lot men getting spray tanned and some African woman have also opted for a spray tan. On darker skin the tan does not actually make the skin darker, it just evens out the skin tone. We don't recommend spray tanning anyone younger than 14 years old.

Motivational Monday - Full body workout

Proper & consistent EXERCISE is a great way to get a healthier, stronger body (pair exercise with healthy eating).

 

 

Benefits of staying physically fit; 

©      INCREASED ENERGY – The right combination of exercise & nutrition creates a hormonal environment conducive to fat loss, increased muscle strength & increased energy. When your body is working at peak efficiency, your energy levels soar.

©      INCREASED SELF-ESTEEM – Gaining control of your body size & weight through fitness is an amazing way to increase self-esteem. You look better & are more confident which empowers you in everything you do. You will find that the self-discipline required & learned through regular exercise spills over into other areas of your life & you will be better able to make other necessary & desirable changes.

©      INCREASE MENTAL FOCUS – Did you know that the latest research shows that exercise helps keep the brain sharp well into old age? Anything that involves mental acuity (focus & concentration) is improved.

©      INCREASED STRENGTH & STAMINA – Every physical thing you do becomes easier which is immensely useful in everyday life.

©      REDUCED DEPRESSION – The production of endorphins (FEEL GOOD hormones) is increased through exercise. Nothing improves mood & suppresses depression better than those endorphins.

©      DECREASED STRESS LEVELS – The worries & stresses of everyday living (commuting, work demands, conflicts etc.) can stick with you long after the work day is done. Exercise right after work is the perfect natural therapy that can change your mood. You will sleep better too.

Have a GORGEOUS week Ladies!

Motivational Monday - Nutrition Cont.

Nutrition is essential for good health. Those that recognise & understand the importance of nutrition will excel at their exercise regimes as the two components go hand in hand.
 

©      You need to ensure that you start your day with a healthy breakfast; it is the most important meal of the day. It strengthens the brain, helps establish healthy eating habits & it improves our mood & behaviour. 

 

©      Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Include plenty of high quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins & minerals (follow a healthy & balanced diet). A balanced diet is usually expressed in one of two ways: as a ratio of the carbohydrate, protein, & fat food groups, or as a food pyramid, where the recommended daily consumption of different kinds of food within the three food groups is defined by portions or quantities.

 

 

Getting the right amount of energy to stay healthy & to perform well is KEY. Consuming too much energy increases body fat; too little, & performance falls, injuries are more likely to occur, & illness results. 

©      Control your meal portions. To ensure the correct portion sizes you can use a food scale. 

©      Make sure you drink at least 3 liters of water throughout the day. When your body is properly hydrated, you will look & feel better. Adequate water rewards you with enhanced health, increased energy, bright, clear eyes & a radiant complexion. Water carries nutrients to every cell in your body, it flushes out toxins, it improves circulation & blood flow & it lubricates your joints. Make water a habit & a priority in your life.

 

Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results.

Next week I will be talking about the importance of exercise & the benefits thereof.

 

Have a GORGEOUS week Ladies!

High neck bikinis

 

 

 

High neck bikinis are very big this season and we cant say we like them very much!

For us, bikinis need to be gorgeous as well as functional. All we're picturing is that horrendous tan you will get when wearing one of these styles. Definite no no.

What do you think? Would you wear this style?

Blink Mints

 

We are very excited to announce that we have partnered up with Blink Mints which are these amazing little taste explosions that come in these super cool little tins.

 

Everyone who orders bikinis through our website will receive one of these great mints with their order.

And best of all is that they are sugarfree so you don't have to feel guilty eat them and then getting into that bikini :)
 

Try them out and Blink Mints would love to hear your feedback.

Motivational Monday

With summer just around the corner, you may be wondering what you can do to start getting your body ready for that Roxstar beach bikini.

Well ladies, I think it’s time to make a few lifestyle changes, to a well deserved & FABULOUS new you! In doing so, you do not only get that GORGEOUS beach body that you have always been dreaming about but you will also get to enjoy the benefits of being healthier.

Let’s get right to it…

For starters, NUTRITION is ESSENTIAL for good health, so here are 4 very important steps to take note of:

 

©     You need to ensure that you start your day with a healthy breakfast; it is the most important meal of the day.

©       Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.

©       Control your meal portions. To ensure the correct portion sizes you can use a food scale.

©      Make sure you drink at least 3 liters of water throughout the day.

 

The first thing I always advise my clients on is to start a FOOD DIARY & to WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING.  

Food diaries help you become more aware of your eating & activity habits & problem areas. They give you a basis from which to plan changes & set goals, & allow you to look back & see what you have changed over time. This can be very motivating. A food & activity diary will also encourage you to make conscious choices about what you eat & do, writing it down gives you the chance to think twice before you act.

This is one of the most useful things you can do to help you gain control of your weight. Write down everything you eat & drink over the day. It’s hard to remember what you have eaten at the end of the day, so try to record things as you go. It can also help to make a note of any thoughts or feelings linked to eating. Writing down everything you eat & drink can be difficult. The more honest you are, the more it will help you.

It can take a little while to get used to & sometimes it may seem like a waste of time, but it’s worth the effort.

 

 

Next week I will be talking about the importance of a nutritious diet & the benefits thereof, as this is the KEY to creating & maintaining a body that your best critics would kill for.

We have been trying to motivate you lovely ladies into getting into shape for Summer but atlas we are only novices in this field and don't think we are doing a very good job at that. So we have enlisted some help from someone who CLEARLY knows what she is doing. We introduce to you the amazing Angie Snyman featured on the above Fitness magazine cover.

 

Angie is going to be sharing her tips and tricks of the trade to ensure we are all looking beach ready in no time. Angie will take over our 'Motivational Monday' posts so be sure to follow closely.

 

We caught up with Angie to find out a little more about her and how she became so passionate about fitness.  

 

 

Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background and how you got into fitness?

I was born in Pietermaritzburg, I grew up in Durban & for the past 4 years I have been living in Richards Bay (moving back to Durban again soon). I have always been a very active individual who loves stepping out of my comfort zone. I needed a change of scenery though & therefore decided to start competing. It is one of the most challenging things I ever done as it takes 100% heart, dedication & discipline. I absolutely love it though. I have such a passion for health & fitness.

 

What motivated you to start training?

I wanted to try something new, I have always been very skinny (I use to weigh a whole 10KG's lighter then I do now). So ultimately I wanted to get into shape & start focusing more on my health.

 

How often do you train and where?

6 times a week at Virgin Active.

What sort of exercises do you do?

I do weight training, which consists of high repititions.

How long have you been competing for?  

1 year, I competed at my very first competition in August 2012.

We see you were recently on the cover of Fitness magazine, WOW! What did you enjoy most about the shoot?

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, having my hair & make-up done,& dressing up into the most gorgeous Brasilfit active wear, it was a great morning, filled with fun & Laughter.

What did it mean to you being on the cover of a magazine like Fitness?

It has always been a dream & it honestly still feels Like one...one of my personal goals are to inspire as many women (of all ages) as possible& in becoming the Fitness Magazine Cover Girl I hope to have shown each& everyone that DREAMS DO COME TRUE...it does not matter where you come from...you have what it takes, you just need to work towards your goals...! I hope to inspire many more along the way.

If you had to give ladies one tip on getting bikini ready what would it be?

Put your health first, it's all about making a LIFESTYLE change, in doing so you do not only get that gorgeous beach body but you also enjoy the benefits of being healthier. Get out more, have fun, be active & Live Life...!
