MAKE IT FUN
FOCUS ON ONE SEASON AT TIME.
Enlist a friend or a professional. A second pair of eyes can help you decide what’s worth keeping, donating, altering or selling. Liven the mood by putting on some music and have a full-length mirror ready for trying on clothes.
02 SET-UP FOR YOU
Setup your closet for who you are today not 10 years ago. This is crucial. Many of us hold onto clothes due to an emotion or a memory. We also hold onto LWHPV KRSLQJ WR VRPHGD\ ŵW LQWR them again. Trust me when you get back to that weight, you will want new clothes.

RENEE JENSEN DIRECTOR OF MOMMY SAVANT on Friendship, Parenthood and Taking a TIME OUT
by Brandyn Randolph “If the relationships and bonds formed as a result of BCMTO and the new Lady Savant Mommies membership programs can save a marriage, prevent someone from beating their child(ren), and keep one from taking a “mommy vacation” in the local mental health facility; I have fulfilled my purpose in this life.”-Renee Jensen
Renee Jensen
Renee Jensen is our Mommy Savant Director of Operations and we could not be more excited to have Renee join our team! Besides being an entrepreneur and a risk management advisor for Farmers Insurance in Saddle Brook, NJ, Renee is the proud creator of the “Bergen County Mommies TIME OUT” group on Facebook. She is a native of the northeast suburbs of Chicago and has two beautiful children, Grace (8) and Dominic (5). If you want to be inspired today, read on! LS: Renee Why did you decide to start “Bergen County Mommies TIME OUT” facebook page BCMTO? RJ: The BCMTO group started all from a desperate attempt at making some new female friends. One evening I posted the following on the Bergen County Moms page: “If anyone wants to get a drink or an appetizer, let me know!”. The post was followed up by over a 150 responses. I discovered I was not the only lonely mom out there craving a more meaningful connection with other women. As a result the BCMTO group was born and has rapidly grown to become an “elite society of nice girls”. LS: Can you give us a snap shot into your life? RJ: I left Chicago in 2004 to “live the dream” out in the mountains. While they were the best years of my life, they were also some of the darkest. I met my ex-husband and we had Grace in 2007. We married when Grace was seven months old. In 2008, I opened an amazing early childhood development/child care center. Shortly thereafter I became pregnant with Dominic and gave birth to him in July of 2009. Becoming a mother, wife, and a business owner and trying to balance it all was no easy task. It was a lot of work and that was when life was good. That year, the seams of my wonderful life started to unravel and I found myself virtually a single mother because my husband had to leave for New Jersey to find work. Due to the real estate/mortgage crisis, both of our businesses started to falter. Fast forward to spring of 2010. He and I had called it quits and he was permanently living back on the east coast. My business was closed and I was on the brink of financial ruin. For months I hung by the last emotional string I had. I had no choice. My children needed me. At the beginning of all of this, I used to be one of those women who thought I could do it alone with the help of my very cool, very in touch, very supportive partner. Girlfriends? Who needs those? An older and much wiser woman left me with these words right before Grace was born. “Make sure you have some good girlfriends. Men just don’t understand.” I looked at her like she was crazy. I replied with this cocky arrogance, “No, no…Tom and I? We are like this”. Lesson learned? ALWAYS listen to the more mature, experienced, and wise. I believe it takes a village to raise a family and it takes a few really awesome girlfriends who get it to keep you sane. If it weren’t for my closest girlfriends back in the mountains, I don’t know if I would have survived the hard times that unexpectedly fell upon me. THOSE WOMEN SAVED MY LIFE. I have been missing that close camaraderie and sisterhood since I moved to New Jersey four years ago. What those women gifted me was peace of mind and focus and I never felt alone. BCMTO is a society of mommies sharing in the joys and pains of this amazing journey. These women come from all different walks of life but have put those differences aside to share in our one single common bond…motherhood.
Helping generations achieve their dreams
Let’s talk.
LS: Why did you decide to join the Lady Savant Team? RJ: Lady Savant; the women who created it and all of the women affiliated with this amazing organization, embody the true meaning of what I like to call the “Three E’s” of my life. Lady Savant’s mission is to Empower, Enrich, and Enlighten all those they come in contact with. The energy and love that they put in to this mission is pure. We share the same belief that women can do and be anything in this world…with a little help from each other. We believe and have faith in the power of the female spirit.

The Art Of Entertaining. The Art Of Living. by Mariel Alvarado Chef Elle Philippe can transform your world. Literally. One minute you’re in New Jersey and the next you are being transported to a delectable feast in another country; making the doors of her Alpine residence like a portal! This food and entertaining Lady Savant creates rich private dining experiences for clients that are seeking an intimate, warm and rich experience.
“I love entertaining. I don't just want to cook, I want to set the stage.”-EP When I met Chef Elle, I fell in love with her not only for her unbelievable culinary talents, old-world elegance or extravagant entertaining style but also for her artistic, intuitive nature and her passion for creating a SECOND TO NONE experience for her guests. She treats every event she is hosting as if it were a masterpiece in the making! Chef Elle was born in Haiti and raised in France. She is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute of New York and anything she serves, she makes from scratch! “I blend the finest organic ingredients with true gourmet inspiration. I make everything in my home. From the pate’ to the Limoncello. I believe that food is the most noble way to make someone happy.” So, where would you like to celebrate your engagement, special event or a fun girl’s night out: Italy, New England, Spain? The options are limitless as Elle owns over 500 pieces of fine china from all over the world which she uses daily as she spares no creative expense to re-create a scene, a country or a special occasion. For example, if you want to experience Tuscany, she will finesse a unique and authentic Tuscan menu while also bringing to life the authentic Tuscan ambience of Italy! We were fortunate to enjoy a Lady Savant Sunday Brunch for our members at her house and let me just say...it was no ordinary Sunday! (More events at Chef Elle’s Chateau...coming soon ladies!) It is rare to find someone who loves what they do as much as she does. For Elle every meal is part of the “Art of Living” which is coincidentally the title for her upcoming book. Yes, she is also a writer! “Living art-fully and beautifully has nothing to do with money and everything to do with the love and care you put into the small moments. I use my fine china every day. That’s what it’ s for, to be used and enjoyed!”

INTERVIEW // #VIRGINIA WOLF
Management is how we keep it all going though. Pretty much every hour of our day is mapped out and the fact that there are 3 of us, makes it manageable too. We always have each other to fall back on.
MARCY BENNER
on family, business & their own brand
VIRGINIA WOLF by Brandyn Randolph
Many people shy away from working with family or friends but not the savvy women of Maluka; the contemporary, trendy powerhouse boutique in Wyckoff. These stylish and hard working mom-preneurs give the world of family-preneurship a new definition and an example to follow! What are the ages of your kids and how do you balance motherhood and running a business? I have 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 girl. They are 7, 5 and 3. My sister has 3 kids as well, 2 girls and 1 boy. They are 13, 9 and 7. Balancing motherhood and running our own business is a huge undertaking and like the saying goes “ it takes a village”. We DOZD\V SXW RXU NLGV DQG IDPLO\ ŵUVW :H ORYH WKH store and what we do, but there is nothing more important to us then our family. So if we keep our family happy and balanced everything else seems to fall into place. Multitasking and Time

Flowing With “The Go� ~ Feng Shui Into Spring by Lois Kramer-Perez, CHt.
Do you feel like you have ants in your pants, and are ready to dance? Are you itching to begin something new, or just need to get out? Do you find yourself drawn to the color green, or craving fresh flowers? It is no wonder you are feeling this way, you are already aligning with the energy of spring. The principles of Feng Shui, guide us to make the most of what nature has to offer, I call this connecting to “Bonus Energy� because all we need to do is learn the basic principles of nature, open our awareness, and ride along. We inherently know that it is much easier to go along with the flow than to go against the grain. I call this “Flowing With The Go.� Feng Shui is all about finding balance, and Mother Nature is our greatest teacher. Spring brings the essence of early morning, the birth of all that is fresh and new. We are bursting with ideas just as those green buds beginning to peek out of the bare brown dirt. Waking up after a sleepy winter, we are filled with energy and optimism, ready to spring into action, to go, go, go! This is the energy of “Tree�, the time of new beginnings. Our enthusiasm is renewed; we are ready to begin “doing� all the things we have dreamt about through the winter. We are bursting full of ideas, this is the right time for us to begin initiating projects, cleaning up, clearing out, and lightening the load so that we move forward, onward and upward agile and free. This element of spring connects us with family, we find a resurgence of family appreciation as we heal relationships. Time for kindness and humanitarianism to bloom, cultivating patience within ourselves, moment by moment, breath by breath. We enjoy bringing our creativity to fruition, experiencing boundless energy filled with a steady stream of ideas. Enjoy this season of spring, going, doing, creating as we remember to breathe, it only takes a moment to take a breath, it only takes a moment to become inspired. Lois Kramer-Perez, CHt. Certified Feng Shui Practitioner, working with people creating healthy abundant lifestyles embracing the feng shui principles for people, places and things. lois@loiskramerperez.com 201.906.5767 visit www.loiskramerperez.com for your free gift.

1
Find a workout buddy to keep you accountable to exercise program. Remember missing one workout is not the end of the world. If you miss a workout make it your top priority to get to your next scheduled workout!!

2
Give yourself permission to indulge during social events. It's okay to enjoy your favorite foods just make it worth it and STOP when you're satisfied. Follow it up with a glass water & enjoy yourself!
3
-Plan to eat at least 2 meals a day at home (or pack your meal from home) this will balance out healthy meals with not-so-healthy-meals.
Golden role:
Never attend an event hungry AND make sure you're hydrated! For more tips visit www.SmartFamilyFitness.com “Smart Family Fitness� offers two programs for women: The Baby Boot Camp program for new new moms and moms-to-be and Karna Fitness program for busy professional women.
