Workout To Enjoy A Guilt-Free Holiday & Feel Slimmer After Your Holiday By Mark Garlick

EVERYBODY loves going on holiday but no one likes coming back from holiday. The issue that I have seen time and time again is that most people tend to over indulge on their holiday and come back feeling like they have packed on a few pounds. The added indulgent calorie intake leaves you feeling bloated and often low on energy. The key to avoiding that is to follow my super simple workout plan for when you are on holiday and be able to indulge and enjoy yourself without feeling like you are putting on weight or digressing in your strength and fitness.

Guilt-Free Holiday Workout (GFHW)

Aim to do the GFHW 3 times per week. It does not require any gym equipment, simply your body and a sprinkle of enthusiasm. The great thing about this workout is it will only take up between 20 – 25 minutes of your time. Perform each exercise one after the other and time your self. Repeat routine twice.

WARM UP

Straight legged walkouts 15 reps

air squats with a jump - 15 reps mountain climbers - 30 reps lying leg raises - 15 reps alternating lunges - 20 reps burpee’s - 10 reps push ups -15 reps tip toe squats - 15 reps abdominal crunches - 20 reps alternating backward lunges - 20 reps burpee’s - 15 reps 2 - 5 minute rest and repeat

Post Holiday Workout To Beat The ‘After Effect’ Of An Indulgent Holiday By Mark Garlick

Now, I totally understand those holidays you go on and come back feeling heavier and some how more lethargic and tired. We all need a holiday where we totally relax and let go of all our ‘rules’ about nutrition and working out, myself included! We have had several emails in the last few days about what to do when you get back and don’t feel motivated. Here are my tips to help you get back into your routine and get your body back into shape: • Follow my super quick workout below. Aim to do it 3 or 4 times per week to start. • Workout with a friend – it will take your mind off the fact that you are exercising and you won’t want to cancel your friend so you are more likely to do it. • Weigh yourself or take photos – this is a great way to keep track of your progress and motivate you to keep going. • Follow a 7-day Detox plan to kick-start your metabolism and get rid of any built up toxins.

WARM UP

Straight legged walk outs 15 reps Step up on ledge or bench - 30 reps in total Tricep dips on the bench or ledge - 15 reps Sumo squat - 20 reps Abdominal crunches - 25 reps Plank - 45 seconds Burpees - 15 reps Mountain climbers for 30 seconds Sprint on the spot for 25 seconds Push ups - 15 reps

LIFE LESSONS

YOU SHOULD PRACTICE DAILY 01 Take time to appreciate

Often, we are so busy running around doing things that we never stop to appreciate what we have and how blessed we actually are to be alive. It may sound ‘woo-woo’, but the more you focus on the good in your life, the more good you will find and the better you will feel. Everyday, I either list 10 things in my life that I am really grateful for. Before you know it, your life won’t look all that bad! Try not to complain for one full day, no complaining verbally or mentally. Instead replace your complaining thoughts with thoughts of gratitude.

02 Breathe deeply

I have a quote (inspired by my Dad) in my house that I try live by. It says ‘Breathe deeply, live slowly and always tread boldly.’ I told a client of mine once that I was struggling to run without getting distracted and she told me to stop focusing on the pain of the run and instead to count my breathes. 4 counts in, 4 count hold and 4 counts out. You would be surprised how challenging it is but also how effective it is. When you find yourself in a difficult situation, slow down and count your breaths… Live slowly and enjoy it.

03 Tread Boldly

At the bottom of every email or text I get from my Dad, he always ends with ‘tread boldly’. What he means is be brave, find your courage to keep going, live your life in a big way and never back out because of fear. Tread boldly in everything you do, everyday. If you are going to do something no matter how big or small, be brave and own that decision.

04 Stop living in the future

All you have is this moment and in reality, there is no such thing as the future, simply this one beautiful moment you have. Some of the major stresses we take on are about the future, what if this happens or what if that happens and majority of the time they never happen. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes they do but trust that if it does happen, you will be ready to deal with it then and there, not 6 weeks before. Try keep your mind in this moment and when you do manage to, you open your eyes and heart to a whole new way of living!

5 Reasons Why You Should Be Eating Organic Foods Research from several studies worldwide has consistently shown that organic food has more nutrients than conventional fruits and vegetables, including more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Nine times out of 10 the excuse I hear people give when asked why they choose not to eat organic is: “It’s too expensive.” These days I counter that with: “So is cancer.” Processed foods, by some estimates, make up around 70% of the average person’s diet. And all processed food contains genetically modified ingredients, which have never been proven safe for human consumption. 1. Organic Food Isn’t Genetically Modified Genetically modified foods are grown from seeds manufactured by chemical companies such as Bayer and Monsanto. The foods that grow from the GM seeds have been engineered to produce their own pesticides on the basis that they reduce weeds and the number of pests. GM foods contribute to diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, heart disease, and cancer. By eating organic, you stop contributing to disease and will begin to repair any damage to your body’s cells and brain function. This will also mean you pick up fewer colds, flu, viruses and bacterial infections.

humans; interrupt normal hormonal function and cause cancerous tumors. A commonly used group of pesticides known as organophosphates are particularly damaging to brain and nerve cell function. Farm workers exposed to toxic pesticides have as much as a 70% increased risk in contracting Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses because of them. By eating an organic fruits and vegetable diet for just one week, you can reduce the level of pesticides in your body by up to 90%, as proven in a recent study led by Dr Liza Oates at RMIT University in Melbourne. 3. Organic Food Doesn’t Kill Bees By now, everyone is aware that bees, our number one pollinators on the planet, are in serious trouble. Research from the University of Oxford found that nonorganic farms have, on average, 50% fewer species

2. Organic Food Supports The Earth More than 30% of insecticides, 90% of fungicides and 60% of herbicides are known endocrine disruptors and carcinogens. This means they are toxic to

of pollinators than organic farms. Einstein famously quoted: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” By choosing organic, you are also choosing to save the bees.

keep them ‘healthy’. By eating animals raised under organic practices, you will lessen your exposure to these harmful chemicals.

To counteract The EU has also recently banned apples from the US their illnesses, they are routinely injected with being sold in Europe because of a chemical used to antibiotics, synthetic hormones and other drugs to preserve the fruit’s color Choosing to eat organic without buying from the supermarket is easy when you know how.

Books That Will Blow Your Mind I am incredibly proud to say that the author of this book is my Business Mentor. She is an absolute inspiration in business and life; and has helped me overcome so many issues through her teachings. This book has brought me to tears on many occasions! Fabienne shares her experiences, realizations and transformations, all the while guiding you to create meaningful shifts in your own life. She beautifully portraits a course in self-esteem and a path to healing, forgiveness, self-love, faith and courage in 222 short pages.

Most of us believe that you are defined as ‘successful’ once you have made a certain amount of money, but in Arianna’s book ‘Thrive’, she aims to redefine and shine a light on the true meaning of success. Arianna likens our drive for money and power to two legs of a threelegged stool. It may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we’re going to topple over. We need a third leg – a Third Metric for defining success – in order to live a healthy, productive, and meaningful life.

Have you ever wondered if what you think shapes the way you experience your life? If you answered yes then you absolutely must read this book. Pam shares nine experiments that you can do on your own that prove your thoughts create your reality. If you are skeptical about this concept of ‘life shaping thoughts’, then these experiments will throw all your skepticism out the window! A fun, light hearted and humorous read, as well as educational.

CREATING YOUR MAGNIFICENT LOVE

BY STACEY MARTINO

As a love and passion expert, I hear from people every day who need help with their relationship challenges. They are seldom at a point where they are considering they can get to a magnificent love; they would just like it to be better than it is right now. While the individual specifics may vary, one thing is usually consistent. They always start with BUT MY PARTNER…. They go on to say… • Something is wrong with their partner • There are things their partner IS or IS NOT doing • There are things that fall short of their expectations. • And, often they ask me, “How do I know if I’m with the right person?

“

Magnificent love affairs are CREATED, not found, so stop searching and start building. It is SO worth it!

Well there are ways to know, but honestly, when people first come to ME, they are not at the point where they can clearly make that determination… yet. I see it every day. When you get stuck in blaming your partner, is when the pain comes into your intimate relationship. When you feel powerless. When you feel at the whim of your partner. Will they or won’t they do what you need? This is a very destructive place to be in relationship. So, now I’ll explain to you what I mean by “Magnificent relationships are created, not found.” Most of us come with a preconceived notion that we are going to FALL in love and then stay in love. And if it’s the person we love and the person we chose, then it will hopefully always work out. That’s not how it works. We do FALL in love, that’s absolutely true. Falling in love is something that happens TO YOU. And that is the LAST moment when anything to do with BEING in love will ever just happen TO YOU. The rest YOU must create! Being in love, staying in love, going deeper into love, cultivating a heightened passion, living a life of magnificence – none of that will happen TO YOU. You must CREATE all of that! Ask anyone who HAS that kind of love and they will tell you that they did the work! They may not still need to “work” at it, because eventually >

it becomes effortless, but it doesn’t start out effort-less. It takes effort. In fact, it takes effort and creation to create magnificence in EVERY area of your life. Look at anyone who has an abundance of wealth, an outstanding health, incredible fitness or magnificent love affair…. and you will find someone who set a high standard for themselves and did what it took to create what they wanted! The challenge in intimate relationship is that most people do NOT believe that there are proven, repeatable, specific step-by-step strategies to create a magnificent love affair with your partner. But there are! My husband Paul and I are living proof. Thirteen years ago, our relationship was hanging by a thread, and we were both prepared to walk away. Through the tears and the sobbing that night, I had a small glimpse of this incredible love for Paul that I had never felt before, but it was fleeting. The next day I went to my coach and asked her “I’ve had this glimpse of this unbelievably powerful love for Paul, but then I lost it. How do I get it to come back and more importantly, how do I get it to stay?” I lived by that motto for a year. I transformed myself, I transformed Paul and I transformed our relationship. Paul and I became so incredibly grateful for our amazing love that we nearly lost, that we went all in! We invested 13 years and six figures to travel all over and study with the world’s leading relationship, behavior and intimacy specialists to completely transform our relationship into the magnificent love affair that we enjoy today!

SHE GAVE ME A PIECE OF ADVICE THAT I NEVER FORGOT, SHE SAID

“Give as if you are already getting everything you need in the world”

Together, our mission is that everyone who wants to transform his or her relationship should absolutely be able to do so! And so we created our proven eight step Relationship Transformation System™ to help people create the love and passion they desire in their intimate relationship without the 13 years and six figures that it took us to create ours!!! So when someone comes up to me and asks me to “fix their partner”, I often smile and say, “Well, that I cannot do… but I know YOU can, and I can show you exactly how!” Stop waiting for it to happen TO YOU. Stop SEEKING it. Start building it!! Don’t waste another day with your intimate relationship causing pain in your life! Start creating your magnificent relationship right now! It is SO worth it!! Stacey Martino helps people who feel stuck, frustrated and helpless with the challenges that intimate relationship brings. Stacey firmly believes that it absolutely does NOT take two to tango! Through targeted, strategic private coaching, programs and events for her Relationship Transformation System™, Stacey empowers you to transform your intimate relationship without your partner needing to participate!

Client Raves About The Lifestyle Concierge Studio in Kensington, London

“Working with Kate had been great - I told her how to motivate me - lots of encouragement, no boot camp style yelling. She’s kind, funny and makes working out almost bearable at The Lifestyle Concierge Studio - which is saying a lot for someone who hates exercise.”

“I’ve been working out with Kate and Mark for 3 months now at The Lifestyle Concierge Studio and not only do I feel stronger, leaner and fitter but I have achieved a lot of my initial goals. Both Kate and Mark push me to my limit but we have so much fun during the sessions that I sometimes don’t realize how hard I’m exercising. I think the extra laughter always helps make the sessions more fun and it feels like I’m working out with friends! Thank you guys, could not have done it without you!”

“Having Kate take care of my diet and fitness has changed my life. Her patience and understanding of my social lifestyle has been extremely helpful. She has always been there to listen to me and hold my hand. Kate has been able to make me lose 4.5 kgs in two weeks whilst cooking the most delicious diet food for me and training me to a level that I never thought was possible. I have kept off the weight as my time with her has changed the way I look at food and exercise. I am very grateful to her.”

The Lifestyle Concierge Studio - Transformative! I started from a holistic place of what my goals were, what I wanted to achieve not just in fitness but connected to broader emotional life, professional life and then linked fitness and nutrition in. TLC helped me form a systemic approach that means I think about the choices I make and how they impact my physical, emotional and spiritual health, not just how I look. And it was always fun! And TLC works virtually - I’m in the US and you still support me. You aren’t trainers, you are family!

Make Up Right Now The 3 Hottest Trends

By Uzma Yakoob, Celebrity Make-up Artist

BIG BROWS

It used to be thin and slender brows but now defined thick brows is the BIG thing! Whether your brows are thin and long, or short and stubby, create the perfect brow with Smoke & Rouge London’s ideal Brow Kit! It’s so easy to apply and adapt to all tones as it has light, medium and dark colors that blend together to create just the right shade. TIP: Using the arched brush provided, create your shape by drawing a thin line along the bottom of your brow, then using upward strokes blend in shadow to the rest of your brow. For a thicker look, create a line following the top of your brow as well, and then blend in. Use the Dip Brow Gel for a more dramatic look or use both to create an ombre effect! Smoke & Rouge Brow Kit - www.sculptbeauty.com/shop

HOT SUMMER LIPS

Hot Lips are the way to go this season, keep the rest of the makeup simple and flawless and pop a bright lip! The hue to watch out for this season to make that ultimate statement is orange. Seen on DKNY and Rag & Bones catwalks. This is one of the hottest trends around right now. My personal favorite is Dolce & Gabbana - Orange Lipstick TIP: Before you buy this hot colored Orange Lipstick, go into your favorite make-up store but avoid using the ‘test lipstick’ on your lips – it’s just plain old unhygienic! Rather swipe the stick on your finger. It’s a closer match to your lips compared to the back of your hand. >

GORGEOUS BOLD EYES

For a fresh take on color for your eyes try a vibrant waterproof liner like Smoke & Rouge GEL liner. A bold swipe of emerald green or turquoise is an instant update and the formula won’t budge. Smoke & Rouge GEL liner - www.sculptbeauty.com/shop TIP: To make your eyes look brighter and more awake press a bit of light eye shadow into the inside corner of your eye. You can use a white pencil to do this, too, but I find the lightest color in any makeup palette works best. ANOTHER TIP: To help set your make up for hours use a shadow base or primer. Apply your shadow base or primer at the beginning of the day and sweep your favorite eye shadow over it and the color stays fresh all day long without smudging! BBC Apprentice 2013 Star Uzma Yakoob is a successful multiple business owner and expert in her own right within the Make-up Industry. Through the phenomenal worldwide success of her Award Winning brand Sculpt Beauty which she launched 15 years ago, she has now achieved international presence developing various make-up brands and one of UK’s most elite Make-up Training Academies both in London and Dubai

Stacie’s gorgeous pictures from her first Solo Show held in New York City in March 2014 – The Princess Fallacy. Due to popular demand Stacie was asked to do it again in July 2014. When I began training Stacie 3 years ago, I knew 2 things straight away: 1. She was literally born to be on stage. 2. We’d become friends and in a way she would be my teacher for many things in life.

more manageable and even enjoyable. Interestingly enough, after finding the ability to live life in this fashion, the times I am out of work are few and far between!

As an actress, it’s important to always look your best, what are your top tips? I think the best accessory for any occasion is confidence. Wear something YOU feel fabulous in. Don’t try to wear the latest trend just because everyone else is wearing it. If you are at a party and constantly pulling your skirt down or adjusting your top uncomfortably, you’re not going to be your best self. The woman should always wear the outfit, not the other way around.

If you were to give your younger self; 3 life lessons of advice, what would they be? 1. Nobody will fight harder for you than YOU. 2. Meditate. At least once a day. Develop a practice to keep yourself grounded and conscious when times get tough. 3. Work hard, but never stop playing hard. Always stay a child at heart.

Who do you aspire to be and what kind of life do Stacie has an aura about her, a kindness and love you want to lead? that draws you in whether you know her or not. I I aspire to be an artist who can inspire, educate, asked her to grace the cover of our magazine, not and create change in society. If one soul is altered only because she is absolutely gorgeous but also for the better after watching a piece of theater I because I KNOW her upbeat, love for life is infectious have been a part of: that is a huge success. When and her drive to succeed is a success in itself. There one is given a gift they must try to use that gift to is something we can all learn from this beautiful and elevate the consciousness of society as much as in talented lady. their power to do so.

How do you deal with the unpredictability of your work? One of the biggest challenges of being an actress is the time when you are out of work and looking for the next gig, which really is a good portion of our lives. I think the secret for anyone struggling with unpredictable-survival is not having your work be what defines you. Once I found happiness and wholeness in the life I lead outside of my career, auditioning and looking for work; it became much >
