The Dark Night - Shows off a Shinning Star

 

The Dark Knight – shows off a shining star..

The Bat Man Comic book turned popular thriller strikes again. The Dark Knight hit the mark for me and my hubby.  We were of course in suspense like most to see Heath Ledger in his final film, and we weren’t disappointed. 

After the other Bat Man movies I wasn’t convinced that this was going to be on my must rent list, but here we are and The Dark Knight totally gets a Classic Black Heel recommendation, from this Trendy Tip Mom. 

 

The Dark Knight is best in the series by far.

Bat Man - The Dark Knight surpassed my expectations for the typical sequel to Batman Begins.  Christian Bale (Batman) and Maggie Gyllenhall (Rachel Dawes) were good, but completely left in the dark shadowed of Heath Ledger who had an exceptional performance.  His performance encompassed, sick, evil and homicidal what a perfect combo.  Ledgers impeccable portrayal of The Joker was top notch and blew me away. 

This Scary-funny performance is a Trendy Tip must see!!

The days of Superheroes are back and IRON MAN is leading the Pack!!

Iron Man

 

 

The days of Superheroes are back and IRON MAN is leading the pack.

 

WOW is all I have to say.  For those of you who forgot about Robert Downey Jr. Watch out he is back and better then ever in Iron Man.  The movie surprised me. As I headed in, more to appease my hubby for a date night out, I was surprised to find that I LOVED the movie.  Iron Man is ideal for any audience the movie was the perfect length and had something for everyone.  The story line for Iron Man was strong and it didn’t hurt that Gwyneth Paltro (the adoring assistant) and Downey (the Billionaire playboy) had great on screen chemistry. 

 

With the competition of Bat Man and Spider Man looming, who knew that the long forgotten IRON MAN would swoop in and save the name of Super Hero movies.  The story line is simple but explosive.  Iron Man is filled with Action, Comedy and a little bit of Attitude which was the perfect combination. 

 

Not to give too much away, the main character played by Downey is a billionaire playboy owner of Stark Industries, one of the biggest military weapon producers.  Basically he is kidnapped by terrorists and after his experiences he chooses to use his angst to do right and change the vision of the company his father founded.

 

Energy, Heroism, Technology, Thrills pack this film.

 

Iron Man is a must watch date movie that has something for you and your partner to enjoy.  TRENDY TIP MUST SEE

“Sex and The City” - Fabulous Trendy Tip Movie Pick

 

“Sex and The City “  

 

 

Sex, Love, & Friendship all the things we look for in life and love in a good movie.

Though long awaited the Sex and The City movie was like the ongoing sequel to the popular series.

Just like we watched it weekly in years past our Girls group headed out for cosmos and a full day dedicated to “Sex and the City”

Ready to be brought to out loud laughter and tears & back into the lives of those 4 characters we grew to love, we were hooked at the first scene

As usual we were captivated by the shoes & fabulous fashion that fill the scene as Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha drew us back into their Sex and the City world.

Sex and the City the move was still filled with all the sarcasm and cynicism and of course the happy endings we find ourselves quoting and waiting for more of.  Like catching up with old friends we were caught up in no time and begging for more.

Weather you were a loyal Sex and the City fan or just out for a good chick flick, you won’t be disappointed.

This film was a great combo that not only had the ability to pull us loyal fans back into the lives of these 4 New York Fashioneesta’s but still easily pulled in brand new viewers without leaving them feeling lost by the simple story line.

If you want sex, fashion, and comedy wrapped up in a stylish package, Sex and the City is your perfect Friday night movie.

Choose to be a Life Enricher

Choose to be a Life Enricher

I heard a great analogy yesterday that I couldn’t resist but to share.

Rich DeVos (Co-founder of Amway Corp) spoke at a local event I had the pleasure to attend on Powerful Phrases for Positive People. What I thought was so compelling about his presentation was his inspiration that you could not only be a Vogue Volunteer by getting involved in non-profits but even better by choosing to be a Life Enricher with everyone you interact with on a daily basis.

Here was is analogy: There are 3 types of people you can choose to be..

Well Drillers – The people who always put others down to pull themselves up.

Lawn Mowers – Those that plug away, doing their thing never impacting or caring about others along the way.

Life Enrichers – Those that make a choice to live a life that will enrich the lives of others before themselves.

He made me think about the type of person I am today and the type of person that I want to be in the future, and that is a “Life Enricher.” I was amazed at his views on how just little things you say and do to encourage and help those around us can make such an impact.

With the elections and all the political hub bub going on around us and all the un-kept promises from politicians about what each of them is going to do to make it better, I found myself wondering why I was looking to these public figures to make a change for our economy and the world around us. Rich’s views on this reminded me that even though a very small impact on the world around us, you and I can make a difference just by choosing to be a Life Enrichers.

* Make a choice to make small changes.
* Open up your vision of others and take note of how you interact or treat
   people.
* Take one opportunity a day to lift up someone/ anyone you interact with
   just by words of kindness, or doing something unexpected for someone.

Trendy, stylish and reasonably priced !

Many of you may have heard through the trend gossip lines about a great newer line of bags/purses released in 2008, Miche bags.  Miche bags are not only a trendy line of bags but what I love is that they are reasonably priced and perfect for women on the go. 

The design of the hand bag is the answer to a problem that I am confident that every women share’s – the need to change your purse or handbag to match an outfit. The changing out of the contents of a purse can become a hassle and who has time for that. 

Miche Bag’s are hassle free purses with an interchangeable cover that you can change at will. You can see examples of Miche Bags here. 

 

Miche Bag has dozens of different covers, from prints to solids to fit almost any outfit in your closet! Though the Miche Bag is available in boutiques and through home shows, but for a busy mom like me the opportunity to buy my Miche Bag online was the best solution.

 

I can’t wait to add to my collection as new trendy designs become

available in the New Year. 

 

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to find the perfect purse to add to your growing collection or the perfect trendy gift for someone you know - all you need is a Miche Bag!  Trendy looks at a fraction of the cost the Miche Bags have a great price, and you save money on “bundle” kits.

Water and Weight Loss - Can water help you loose the extra weight?

So my simple story starts with a cup of coffee, well OK about 5 cups a day but it wasn’t killing me, right???? No, but it was.  It was making a big impact on the amount of water I was drinking in a day and that was killing my desire to drink the right amount of water in the day.  

If you thought that drinking water wasn’t an intrigue part of your weight loss, think again. I always knew how important diet and exercise were to my weight loss, but never thought about the importance of hydration? So when I started to do some research on the best ways to improve weight loss I was amazed at how much damage I was doing by drinking my daily fix of caffeine.   

In fact did you know that if you drink coffee or other heavily caffeinated drinks such as Coke or Pepsi you should add an extra glass of water for every glass you have. Needless to say I was doing the opposite of what I needed to do to improve my weight loss and something needed to change.  The average person needs to drink about 64oz of water a day to sustain healthy hydration levels.  Even more important you need to keep things like hotter times of year, exercise and other activities may also increase your need for additional water intake.  Additional perspiration produced from these activities helps keep your body temperature constant and you need to replace the water you have used 

When it comes to Hydration and weight loss you have to keep it basic the more you move the more water your body craves to keep hydrated. Beware, we’ve all heard the scary stories of death by an over intake of water. Water intoxications otherwise known as hyper hydration or water poisoning is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by over-consumption of water.^[1] Normal, healthy (both physically and nutritionally) individuals have little to worry about accidentally consuming too much water. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume more than 10 liters (3 gallons) of water over the course of just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed.  Symptoms of too much water are: dizziness, nausea, apathy, vomiting, and confusion many of the same symptoms will occur as dehydration so you need to be aware of how much you are actually drinking. 

• Be creative, you don’t need to get your daily water intake from drinking actual water.  Your body water intake can come from other dietary intake like fruits and vegetables. I have found an easy way to keep an eye on my water consumption is to carry a water bottle.  I try to spread out my water intake throughout the day and always drink an 8 ounce serving about 30 minutes before any meal. Not only does it help to hit my daily water serving quota but it also helps me to reduce my hunger before sitting down.  Sounds weird but it has been the perfect answer for me to help with over eating at meal times.  Listening to your body is always the answer - it’ll let you know when you’ve had to much or haven’t had enough. 
• Don’t like the taste of water?  With the variety of great flavored waters or sugar free additives on the market, finding a flavor to flatter your taste buds should be easy. 

Still not convinced that drinking water is good for you? Keep reading and learn more about the benefits of drinking water: Water  contains no calories (check Nutritional Info on the flavored bottled water or additives may contain low calorie counts)  Drinking water helps hydrate skin, water is important in maintaining the health of your skin it can assist in a more youthful appearance and improves your skins elasticity. Don’t forget the best benefit of all; drinking water can help boost your energy levels.
