So you know the scoop: aerobic exercise -- or cardio work is probably one of the best things you can do for yourself. The benefits are plentiful including calorie burning, strengthening of heart and lungs, lowered blood pressure, and stimulation of bone growth (through high-impact aerobic activities such as jumping rope). But perhaps most important, to harried women everywhere, cardio work can make you look and feel fabulous!

From the minute my eyelids lift each morning, Im scrambling: the kids are demanding breakfast, the dogs need to be let out and preferably walked, a load of laundry needs to be moved from the washer to the dryer (keeping on top of the laundry is a 24/7, 365 day a year endeavor: no holidays in the world of laundry management), and it would be nice to get a shower in at some point. As the day progresses it rarely gets better: dashing from one commitment to the next. Inevitably Ill be late picking up a child when I realise I forgot to go by the market to get something for dinneragain. Sound familiar?

Christmas is sneaking up on us!! I have spent the last few weeks working on plans for the future of Create Yourself. Michael and I are continually working on our brand, thinking what improvements we can make and services we can sell to be able to help you live a life you love even more. When running a business it is really important to be clear about what your niche is, what you really want to specialise in. Up until now my coaching as been fairly generalised with a constant element of building on peoples self confidence and belief in themselves.

Makeup Magic

Make up gives every woman the potential to be beautiful. Not because I believe you need to disguise yourself to look great, but more because i think you need to feel great to look it, and playing with the magic dust of make up makes you feel just that. Juliet Cohen, Vogue Make-up Artist

There are so many opportunities with cosmetics these days that you can literally change your image, just by changing your make up. Some of todays most powerful female icons use make up to be a chameleon in their professions and create different characters. Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Kylie, and girl-band Girls Aloud for example, all embrace the power of make up to transform themselves throughout their careers.

Sleep: Glorious relief from a stressful day or Major time waster?

Ok so let me thinkthe dinner dishes are cleaned and put away. Tomorrows lunches are assembled, packed and appropriately labeled. The kids were read and sang to and are now snug in their beds. The dogs were fed and walked. And I just put the last load of laundry in the dryer so it wont get moldy and smell like the previous one. Great, now its me time! Too bad its 11:43pm and Im so tired I can barely remember to breathe. But I dont care; this is my special part of the day. Now is the time I can completely devote to myself: no children are clamoring for my attention, no boss is haranguing me for an overdue project, no dinner needs to be made, and its all about me and what I want to do. But, truthfully, what I really want to do is sleep.

This is it, the big one, the race, 13 miles and a bit.

There, that doesn't sound too bad does it? Ive been waiting a while for this day, for the moment I become the less well known super hero HALF MARATHON MAN. That's the dream come true, fantasy, make-believe idea anyway. I wasn't the only one with this dream, as I soon found out when we arrived at our destination; my shadow had become eclipsed by the huge army of runners that had invaded the park. All this time it was just Michael and I doing what Michael and I do, train very hard for this momentous occasion. This was different, felt like someone had opened the door, inviting thousands of people to come in, this was no longer a race for the lone hero to be, this was going to be a race for the people of London.
