Simple Ways to Safely Enjoy the Sun
...and surprise...I am not going to say "wear your spf". Over the past few years I have slathered myself in sunscreen, going as high as spf 100, and not at all realizing the chemicals that were soaking into my bloodstream and burning my skin. There are natural sunscreens -- zinc oxide and titanium dioxide -- but even those have toxic factors...

De-Mystifying Allergies..."The Experiment"
Since 2006 I have been struggling with allergies. Each June I experience a new symptom. I would love to say that I've had it all...but there is always a surprise. As many of you know, it was my diagnosis with asthma in 2006 - which I have luckily rid of through various holistic practices - that started me on my journey to healing from the inside out and ultimately led me to become a health and life coach. Chronic (which is a term used to describe most inflammatory conditions like asthma, allergies, etc.) is not allowed in my vocabulary -- I really do believe there is a way to rid of all such ailments. It is mainly about taking away the band-aid treatments and getting to the core problem. Which brings me to my most recent experiment, a couple of new immune-boosting supplements that I am adding to my organic, whole, natural diet...

Health By Chocolate
"Life is short, eat dessert first", says Jacques Torres. Little did he know that it is actually beneficial. For those of you who know me well, this is something that I do often. What I didn't realize until recently, is that it actually allows me to eat less during my meal. And if you pick the right dessert, like chocolate, then there is a double benefit..cocoa powder and dark chocolate contain relatively high concentrations of epicatechin, a group of heart-healthy compounds known as flavanols, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Surprisingly, compared to other fruits, dark chocolate and natural cocoa powder contain more antioxidants than blueberries, cranberries, and pomegranates...

Skin Saving Tips
.....and "twinkle"is the key word, and might I add "from the inside out". For over a year you have been receiving news from me on how to eat well. We've chatted about the benefits of adding fruits, vegetables (including greens), grains, legumes,nuts, and water to your diet, while removing some of the more toxic foods and drinks. We have also gained an understanding of how to be more balanced with our lives. We have cleansed together, gone on health store tours, done pilates, embraced relaxation techniques, experimented with many dietary theories, and much more...but ultimately we have discovered that embracing small changes can have a large impact. This month many of you have asked that I share what I've learned about skincare; and although much of what we've encountered is the first step to glowing skin, recognizing what is in the products that you use is beyond important as well.

Declare Your Independence from Stress
If the United Stated was able to declare its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain on July 4, 1776; then all of us can easily declare our independence from stress right now, especially when summer is in full swing.
Summer is often the best time for serious play, time off and deep relaxation. In our work-crazed society we can lose sight of the benefits of slowing down and taking time to rest and reflect. Now that summer is in full swing, it's time to enjoy the restorative powers of reconnecting to your body through movement and relaxation.

Back to the Basics
Remember how simple life was when you were a kid? You slept, ate, went to school, did homework, had play dates and didn't sweat the small stuff. Since then life has become more complex but underneath it all you are still that simple kid. Learn how to re-invent your day and get back to the basics by identifying what is important to you and getting rid of the rest.

Simple Living
Make a list of your priorities. What is important to you? What do you value most? Assess your commitments. Which of these are in line with your priorities? Evaluate your time. Re-design your day where you see inefficiencies. Simplify tasks. Only focus on what is essential, delegate some of these, say no to the rest. Limit your communications. Put a limit on when and how you handle the flow of emails, IMs, paper mail, and phone.

Spring Is In The Air
The smell of fresh cut grass, rain, and blooming flowers fill the air during Spring. For some these smells are heaven, for others they may bring allergies. But mostly, people feel lighter, freer, and happier. With the change of season often times there is a sense of renewed purpose, hope, and a more positive outlook...

Boost Memory, Mood, Energy, and Metabolism
Not only can the smell of Spring change your perspective, but certain other scents can boost memory, mood, energy, and even metabolism. Manage Your Cravings with your favorite scent. If you don't have one then experiment with green apple. Relax with the scent of orange or lavendar. This can be especially helpful before bedtime to enhance sleep. Improve Memory and Alertness with the wonderful smell of rosemary...

Embrace Your Inner Brilliance
Spring is the perfect time to embrace your inner brilliance and allow yourself to shine. The easiest way to do this is to do what you love when it comes to your career, hobbies, social events, and the like. Once you start to follow your passions you will realize the amazing possibilities of each and every day. Start by visualizing what this would look like, gain clarity, and then begin to feel the wonderful freedom from being stuck in a rut. You can start this exercise on your own, with friends, and even with the help of a health/life coach (so feel free to call Marianne Bellino, 917.250.0267). Oh and don't miss out on a Spring Into Shape 6-week Fusion Intensive course, details below.

Spring Cleaning
Most people think of their homes when they think of spring cleaning, but your body also needs a purge. There is a saying that goes, "You have to get rid of the old to make way for the new." So if you are feeling stuck or stagnant in your life, first start with spring cleaning your home, it's tactical and allows you to immediately see and feel positive change. Go through your stuff, throw out those things you haven't touched in year, and recognize how great you feel when welcomed by a serene, open, clean, and refreshing environment. Work with Marianne if you need help with office/closet/kitchen makeovers.
