We Should All Look Like Brooke Burke

Hey There,

Happy New Year!  So my first words after not communicating to the health, physically fit and weight conscious of the world are "We should ALL look like Brooke Burke!" Yes, that's correct, I am totally serious.  Universally gorgeous, she appeals to just about everyone because let's face it ...she could be anyone.  TV Host and Model Brooke Burke, ethnically ambiguous, amazing figure, poised demeanor--I could go on and on but I think you get my point.

Over the last few months Brooke Burke has been on a roll.  Seems she  is now officially using her HOT  husband, David Charvet's last name, amongst a slew of projects that has everyone doing double takes: the January 2012 Fitness Magazine cover, Creator of the Baboosh Products ( for the post baby body), her Workout DVD Series, gig as 2nd yearCo-Host of Dancing With the Stars, a spokesmodel deal with Skechers and the list goes on.

So, bottom line how do we look like Brooke Burke? Follow these steps...

• Work out consistently and with a passion
• Eat well--we hear she is partial to grilled salmon over salad
• Become a mom and ENJOY doing it
• Enter a profession you TRULY love

and if all else fails take a photo of Burke in to your nearest and dearest plastic surgeon--ONLY KIDDING.  See her and ALL successful women as role models and nothing more.

Happy New Year!

Well apparently fitness guru Richard Simmons is still out there and doing his thing!  this time kicking off a national sample initiative with a CranEnergy(TM) Fuel Station in New York City's Penn Station. Yes, Penn  Station was visited yesterday by Mr. Simmons and the latest Ocean Sprat brand drink t hit the market--Cran Energy.  Still whipping the public into shape, the loveable guru passed out samples to passersby via the Cran Energy fuel station.  The life size human filling station allowed new Yorkers to get the jump on the product which is set to roll out in Sam's Club, Stop & Shop and Giant Foods all over the country.

Recently, Ocean Spray announced its campaign to energize the country and lift people from America's other energy crisis.  With hectic, busy lifestyles, many Americans are experiencing and energy  shortage.  While masters at multi-tasking, most people need an extra boost to keep them on the go.

Is Beyonce Bringing It Back?

Hey There!

It was just a week or so ago that at I mentioned Beyonce and her awe inspiring weight loss due to the Master Cleanse diet...well looks like she may be trying to get her curves back!  As the celeb diet scene is bursting with inconsistencies I 'm not sure what to think of this one but I am certain of one thing there is nothing more A-List than Beyonce's new look in Dreamgirls.

So the question is curvy or lean or should I say lean and curvy, what's best? I am thinking a bit of both, but I 'll be keeping watch as this whole thing develops -be it with Beyonce or other celebs before year's end.

Ciao for now!

***-Master Cleanse a diet attributed to Stanley Burroughs also known as the Lemonade Diet. A combination of taking in  sea salt  mixed in water as well as the primary drink made of lemon/ lime juice in combination with Maple Syrup and cayenne pepper. This is alternated with the use of herbal laxative tea.

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival is Coming

Hi!

It is almost the end of the year and most people are going to be making New Years resolutions shortly.  It's a good thing that I began my nutrition/weight loss plan early as I've already begun what so many others will vow to do come January 1st.  While others are watching what Beyonce-- who recently slimmed down on the Maple Syrup aka Master Cleanse diet to the tune of 20 lbs or so: or, still others watching to see who is keeping track of Nicole Richie's every pound, I am looking to enjoy my own lil drop in pounds and even celebrate a bit, if I can.

Apparently, I won't be the only one celebrating..come February 22-25 of 2007 there will be a very grand, very decadent celebration of both food and drink at the SOBE Wine and Food Festival.  I've just received my first reminder, no wonder I feel like celebrating! Veuve Clique Bubble baths, an Amstel Light Burger Bash, cocktail clinics, Wine Seminars and the list goes on and on. The only things non-food related may be the golf invitational and the introduction of PURE***nightlclub via a theme lounge via the Amerian Airlines Arena club and Wine Spectator.

Dylan Lauren  of Dylan's Candy Shop

Apparently the fun doesn't stop there as everyone who is anyone in the world of food and drink from retail entreperenuers like Dylan Lauren of Dylan's Candy Bar to Food Network TV hosts such as Al Roker to renowned food critics such as Gael Greene.  Not sure if I will make it down as a lot of this sounds like it will be done with a richness that goes way off my diet plan.  Of course, if I were to take my nutritionist Nic B. along perhaps that would be OK.  I will need someone by my side, to head to head with celebrity chefs from the Food Network including favorites Bobby Flay and Rachel Ray, and master sommeliers such as Alpana Singh.

Sound grand? see you there!

***- Pure, one of Las Vegas' hottest nightclubs will be opening an outpost in South Beach come 2008 at the Fountain Bleu Hotel.  In the meantime the masses can get a taste during the SOBE Food and Wine Festival 'Best of the Best' on Friday, February 23rd 7:00 pm- 11:00 pm.
