FOUR REASONS WHY YOU’RE NOT LOSING WEIGHT I’ve heard it from friends and clients alike… “I work out all the time and I’m not losing weight.” OK, I’m gonna get a LITTLE in your face here and have you take a long hard look at yourself. Don’t be scared, I’ll go easy on you … kinda! #1. You’re not working out hard enough. Yup, it’s true. What happens with the body is that a workout that killed you 2 months ago isn’t so hard anymore. It’s called adaptation. You got stronger, faster and in better cardiovascular condition. So now you have to step it up and kick your own butt! If you’ve been doing 15 pushups for the last few weeks, try to squeeze out 1 or 2 more on every set. If you’ve never done pushups on your toes, DO THEM! Even doing ONE more rep will help you break a plateau. #2. You’re doing ‘steady state’ exercise. For the LONGEST time, moderate exercise was touted as the best way to lose weight. Now, it’s been proven that doing intervals is best for cardiovascular health as well as fat and calorie burning. So, if you’re running, add in some intervals or sprint bursts at 75-80% of your max for 30-45 seconds every few miles or minutes. If you’re hiking, run up that hill for 30 second intervals every 2-3 minutes. Leave the moderate, steady state exercise back in the 80’s! #3. Your weights aren’t heavy enough. LADIES, I’m talkin’ to you! There are VERY few women who will GET HUGE from lifting weights. If you’re afraid that a 12-lb or 15-lb weight will get you big, IT WON’T - up your weights! As a general rule of thumb, if you can do an exercise past 20 reps and keep going without muscle failure, you’re weights for that exercise are too light. Get heavier weights! #4. You don’t have accountability worked into your program. We’ve all been there… it’s 5am and the alarm just went off. You’re supposed to get up and go to the gym. But, you’re so tired and your bed is so comfy. Get a workout buddy, hire a qualified personal trainer or enroll in a fun, women’s bootcamp program. Our bootcamp program solves ALL of these issues.

Innovation with Style: The Phoenix Fashion 411 By Eva Louis, Film & Fashion Futures Writer Phoenix Fashion Week is not resting for one second and is ready for many new ventures in 2013. For Brian Hill, Executive Director of Phoenix Fashion Week, fashion is not just about the fashion, it’s also about the business of fashion and he works hard to make that evident with any new announcements. In December 2012, the Fashion Meetup hosted at Majerle's Sports Grill in Old Town Scottsdale was the last major 2012 event for this always innovating group. A major part of the event was the statement about the launch of The Fashion Hub. The Fashion Hub is being established and is estimated to be available and functioning in February of 2013. The vision and soon to be reality is best described in their own words “a Fashion Hub (shared) co-workspace focusing on the Fashion Industry.” This is fulfilling “the necessity to foster growth and collaboration” for those in the fashion industry from many perspectives but especially the proactive fashion entrepreneur. The idea here with a hub is to provide a space that enables sharing of resources, ideas, risks and successes. Think of it like the new “Fashion Think Tank,” only good things can come from this. The shared space will offer to tenants the following: - Wi-Fi Access - Cubicles (for the brands) - Plug-in & work stations (for the brands) - Conference Room (shared for meetings & workshops) - Office Space (for the brands) - Showroom (to display & present the brands to buyers) - Photography studio (10x10 room) - (for shared use, head shots, brand look books, etc.) The following types of individuals should definitely consider checking into this forum and first of a kind Fashion Hub (coining the phrase now “Fashion Think Tank”): Apparel brands, Accessory brands, Stylists, PR firms, Marketing firms, Graphic Designers, Web Designers, Photographers, Models, Fashion Technology companies, and any other fashion related business. If you thought that was all the announcements there were, then think again. On the second day of the New Year 2013, another notification came out today about the SHOP GARMENT DISTRICT. What is a GARMENT DISTRICT? The typical definition revolves around one of the most famous based in NY; def.: an area in the borough of Manhattan, in New York City, including portions of Seventh Avenue and Broadway between 34th and 40th Streets and the streets intersecting them, that contains many factories, showrooms, etc., related to the design, manufacture, and wholesale distribution of clothing. This SHOP GARMENT DISTRICT is officially launched by Phoenix Fashion Week utilizing the power of the internet and Facebook. They are locating it on https://www.facebook.com/phxfashionweek - which offers the fans the opportunity to shop their official PHXFW LIMITED EDITION apparel and accessories. The designs will be inspired PHXFW themes and will include collaborations from their long list of designers. Since they will be LIMITED EDITIONS, fans have to be among the first to 'LIKE' the item to assure they 'win' the opportunity to purchase the PHXFW LIMITED EDITION items.
The process - HOW WILL IT WORK – is as follows: they will list the item description, along with a picture, sizes, color, quantity available, list the model, photographer, and stylist. The interested FAN must 'Like' the post and add a comment with their email address, specifying the quantity they desire, size, and color. If they 'win' the opportunity to purchase the item, one of PHXFW teammates contacts the FAN for payment details. They are promising fun and exciting offerings. With the New Year already beginning in full swing, keep a look out to find out what else is in store from Phoenix Fashion Week and Brian Hill and team!! Happy New Year!!!

Mobile Marketing Why is mobile marketing so important? Just look around! Everybody, everywhere is looking at their smartphones. Walking, shopping, dining – it seems like everyone has their smart phone in hand and at the ready.

Your clients are mobile are you?
So, what does mobile marketing involve? Depending on your type of business it’s usually a 4-step process. The first step is to create some type of mobile optimized webpage. This can be a full mobile website or you can set up different promotional mobile pages. This allows your users to be able to read your content, specials, videos, slideshows, etc. very easily without having to “pinch and twist” the screen on their smartphone. The mobile page is also a great way to let your users call you, email you, or even start a chat with one touch from their smartphone. The second step is to get new customers to visit your mobile site. Just like a desktop website, there are many ways to get mobile users to your site. One way is by using the traditional method of paid advertising to get new clients You would determine your most important service or product and then advertise that along with your location. There are also some really fun ways that can get new clients to your mobile site. They can also help you build up a mobile list. One of these methods is to use a “mobile keyword”. Let’s say you’re a restaurant, and your mobile keyword is “eat”. Basically, you have your mobile users text “eat” to a mobile number. You can then offer them discounts or promotions if they join your list. Another alternative is to use a Quick Response (QR) code. It’s basically the same principle as using the keyword, but it’s more visually engaging. You can also customize these QR codes with your branding to get the attention of your mobile users. Once you start building your list, then you begin the third step of keeping your customers engaged in your business. For instance, let’s take the same example of the restaurant as above. Let’s say, you are having a really slow day, you can send a text to your list and tell them you are going to have a 25% off coupon on any entrée for the next 2 hours. This can be a great way to get customers in to your restaurant, so you have a booming day rather than a slow day.

This can be a great way to get customers in to your restaurant, so you have a booming day rather than a slow day. Another great way to keep your clients engaged is to have contests. You can have your users visit a mobile page that lets them enter your contest for a free or highly-discounted product or service. In the same way as coupons, voting has proven to be a very effective way to keep your clients engaged in your business. The fourth and all-important step of analytics. Be sure that you are getting the most of your marketing dollars in order to get the highest return on investment. Track everyone single campaign to see how many people are taking advantage of your coupons and specials. You don't want to spend your valuable marketing dollars on promotions that aren't working for you. The mobile market is exploding. It is a very lucrative and fun way to start getting more customers for your business. Call Now to find out how we can mobilize your business.

DO INSECTS LIVE THROUGH THE WINTER? The answer to this question for many insects is YES. Though life is sustained by different means, many insects do survive through the winter. This is true for all phases of growth including the adult, nymph, larva, pupa and egg forms of the insects. Insects may use one or more of the following to survive the winter: While many vertebrate animals go through a phase of hibernation, the similar phase for insects is termed DIAPAUSE. During this phase an insect’s body will slow down enough to simply maintain life. Some that use this method include lady bird beetles, monarch butterflies. Some insects replace the water in their bodies with glycerol, which is a form of antifreeze, thus allowing their bodies to withstand the lower temperatures. Many insects will attach their pupa to leaves and emerge as adults in the spring. Dragonflies in nymph form may live below ice in ponds and streams awaiting the warmth of spring to emerge. Eggs from insects may also lay dormant through the winter until the temperatures allow for full development. So, simply put, insects survive by manipulating their internal systems physically and chemically. They may also simply survive by finding a warmer place to stay by burrowing deep in the soil, under rocks, in trees and brush, and unfortunately, in the walls of many buildings. HOW DO YOU WINTERIZE YOUR HOME? Your first line of protection from insect seeking protection from the winter is to take a closer look at how they might physically enter your home. This includes checking your door sweeps and weather stripping and ensuring all openings are appropriately sealed (including pipes and wires). If you have a screen door, make sure any gaps or tears are repaired. Make sure all windows fit tightly in their frames. Your local hardware store can help you with the supplies needed to address these isAnother line of defense is to get winter service from your local pest control company. Winter service includes your basic service, plus additional methods of control. The company should be spraying the interior and exterior of your home. This includes around the base board areas of your house, under the voids of your sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms, in your garage, and the exterior perimeter of the home. This will provide a longer lasting treatment.
Why don't people make more time for family time? Perhaps it is because of our busy schedules. Four of seven families do not set aside one night for the family. Six out of ten families do not eat at the table every night. This is a perfect opportunity for families to bond. Also, it is a good time for parents to stay abreast of what is going on in their children's lives. Why is this important? A lot of families have become more broken due to lack of family time. A good suggestion would be pick a night that the whole family can spend together. It does not have to be expensive. Have a movie night at home, Game night, or even go out.
Parents have a duty to love, educate, and protect their children. Many parents do not instill family night as part of a tradition. If they do a child will grow up with this value and hopefully keep it as a family tradition. Written by Ann P.

From the Golf Course to the Dance Floor and a Little Bit of Cowgirl In Between" How to gently consign your gently used clothing and accessories.
Ladies, if you've never had the wonderful experience of browsing a consignment boutique, be prepared for a brand new adventure in shopping! And if you have some beautiful items that you no longer fit, a consignment boutique is the answer for you. Consignment owners have the same philosophy- "We will continue to convince the world to be come resale shoppers-those who "get it" will have a marvelous time, those who don't will just have to pay retail. Here's a list of what you need to know before choosing a consignment shop to sell your items: Choose a consignment shop with a great traffic flow, one that in not overcrowded with items. The shop should smell fresh and all the items should be beautifully displayed. The better, high-end consignment shops will require you to have an appointment and will give you a set of guidelines for bringing you items in. The guidelines detail a number of items you can bring in, the name brands that are accepted and your responsibility for keeping in touch with the shop. Keep in mind, too, that the better consignment shops are booked with appointments sometimes six months in advance. You may have to wait a bit for an appointment, but it will be worth it. Their sales records and inventory turns are fabulous! In addition, unlike the "drop and run" shops, your items will be on the sales floor that same day! When you arrive on time for your appointment, the shop owner devotes that time to inspect your items. She only chooses the ones that she can sell. Rest assured that the shop owner is experienced and knowledgeable of her market area and will demand the best price for your items.
There are several factors you must keep in mind when choosing your items to consign: 1. Most Important! In current style (no more than 2 years old). What you see in the retail stores, you will also see in better consignment shops. 2. All clothing MUST be in pristine condition or they will not be accepted. The shop owner WILL NOT accept items that she has to clean, steam, press. She doesn't have time! Take pride in your items- it will pay in the long run! 3. Jewelry need to be polished, watches need to be running. 4. Shoes should be in new condition- no scuffs and no sign of wear. 5. Do not be offended if the shop owner does not accept all your items. Selections are based on market demand and space availability as well. She can't afford to take in items that are in question of selling and must only accept items that she knows will sell quickly. New inventory is so important to smaller consignment shops-customers like to see new things every time they visit!
So consign your items, put cash in your pocket, or have fun with it and use it as an in-store credit at your consignment boutique!

Heather Godina: From “Bald and Boobless” to Triathlete
In mid-July of 2010, 29-year-old Heather Godina was performing a self-exam and found a lump in her armpit. By mid-August she was having a mammogram and biopsy and ten days later was at her doctor’s office to decide whether to undergo a lumpectomy, a single or a double mastectomy. It all happened in the blink of an eye. Knowing that her particular type of cancer was hormone-based and wanting children in her future - which meant a pregnancy could trigger her illness again - Heather decided to undergo a double mastectomy. A series of tests including a PET scan and an MRI determined where the cancer had spread: they revealed she was in Stage 3 and the disease had spread to 21 out of 26 lymph nodes. They also performed a bracket test to determine if Heather was a carrier, which she wasn’t. After the surgery, Heather underwent two rounds of chemotherapy and seven-and-a-half weeks of radiation. In January of 2011 Heather had completed the first round of chemo, which left her feeling devastated and, in her words, “bald, fat and boobless.” It was then that a friend told her about Tri for the Cure Arizona. “I had to make a decision: I was going through the same thing whether I was in a good mood or a bad mood, so it’s all about choice,” she says. Those who know her say she’s always positive, smiling and very encouraging of others. “I worked the whole time I trained and did chemo,” she says. “It just felt good to get back into something normal.” Heather’s last chemo treatment took place on the Friday after the Tri for the Cure. Tri for the Cure is open to all women who are looking to have a good experience. As an event, it’s big enough to be challenging but not intimidating. There’s great support for first-time triathletes, and Heather is now a part of the event committee, helping to make sure there’s special acknowledgement of survivors. “Don’t let fear of being a triathlete stop you,” she enthuses. “There is so much support. And there are so many women in your own neighborhood going through the same challenges you are. Just do it!” Today at 31, Heather has had full reconstructive surgery and has two Tri for the Cure under her belt plus a very recent Half Iron Man (which she rocked). She’s planning to do a full Iron Man next year, in addition to her work with Tri for the Cure. “Why do I Tri? Because it is both a physical activity and a mental challenge,” says Heather. “You have to be physically ready for the challenge of doing three events in one day, but it’s also mentally challenging. It is a personal sport, but you have to rely on support, encouragement, and love of family and friends to get through. It is both challenging and very rewarding.”
