How to stay fit over the Holidays

With the holiday season upon us, the parties and festivities have likely already started. And, you know what that means? If you aren’t careful, you could start packing on the pounds. From baking cookies with the kids to the loads of treats floating around the office, having a strategy for navigating all these extra calories is essential. While staying on track with your health during the holidays may sound daunting, you’ll feel better about yourself, be in a better mood and look great at all of those parties if you stick to some simple rules. Already overwhelmed? Don’t be. Here are a few tips for staying fit and healthy over the holidays.

Have a plan. Take a look at the calendar and evaluate the holiday season. How many parties do you have on the schedule? Which days will you need to ramp up your exercise and which days can you scale back a bit? When you know what’s coming, you know how to plan – both from a nutritional and exercise perspective.

Pack healthy snacks and lunches for the office. Despite all the temptations at the office, if you come prepared it’s one of the easiest places to avoid and resist all the snacks and unhealthy items. Pack a lunch every day loaded with leafy greens, lean meats and healthy crunchies – like apple slices and carrot and celery sticks. When you feel the urge, break out your healthy snacks and have a huge glass of water – you’ll be full in an instant.

Before you head to a party, eat a healthy snack. Heading to a party when you’re super hungry is the easiest way to pack on unwanted pounds because your tendency is to head straight to the cheese plate. Rather than mindlessly eating loads of calories, fill up on something healthy first – like almond butter on a slice of sprouted bread or a couple of turkey roll ups. The protein will help keep you feeling full and will help you avoid mindless snacking.

If you want to have dessert, just go for a few small bites. You don’t have to avoid it all entirely, but rather let yourself taste a few of the delicious holiday treats. Just have a bite or two – and then walk away from the desserts. You can do it!

Make exercise a priority. Especially on the days when you’re party bound, finding time to get your daily steps in is essential to staying fit throughout the holiday season. Making that extra bit of effort to get up early will make all the difference when it comes to feeling great no matter how many parties you attend in a week. If you can’t make it to the gym, throw on your sneakers and hit the pavement each morning with a brisk walk or a light run. Just 30-60 minutes of getting that heart pumping each day will leave you feeling great.

Don’t beat yourself up if you get off track – it’s OK, it’s the holiday season after all! If you eat a few extra calories or have a bit too much to drink, get up the next morning and lace up those running shoes – it’s time to head to the gym or head outside to get moving.

Do you have a plan for making health and fitness a priority during the holidays?

Stay healthy

Gifts Inspiration for Fashionable Friends

While getting what you want is definitely going to anyone’s Christmas merrier, I think we can all agree that giving is something that makes us feel just as good, too. I personally have started to think about and list down the things that I want to give my family and my friends so I can go buy them once the list is complete. Right now, I’m completing the list for my girl friends, most of whom are obsessed with fashion, so I thought I’d share with you what I found that I thought any fashion lover would lover. Check out our Christmas Gift Guide 2014 for fashionable finds for your style-loving friends.

• A COMFY SWEATER – Christmas sweaters are cute and all but you’ll want to give your friends something that they can wear even after Christmas has gone. A cute and comfy sweater is something that I know a lot of women will appreciate so if you’re looking for something to give to a friend, scour the stores for a cute and comfy sweater.

 

 



• BOOTS – know someone who goes crazy over shoes? Why not help them build their collection and give them a pair of gorgeous boots for Christmas? Over the knee boots are quickly becoming the latest trend in fashion so get one for your friend who loves to make a statement. Or maybe go for a pair of ankle boots so she can wear them all year round.

 

 

 

• JEWELRY – if you have a friend who loves to dress up all the time, I’m sure they’ll appreciate receiving some new accessories, especially jewelry as these tend to really take any outfit up a notch. Of course, you’ll want to match the jewelry you give to your friends’ personalities.

Duftnoten - so verschenkt man ein neues Parfum

Weihnachten bedeute auch seine Lieben mit kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten zu bedenken - wie ein Parfum.

Aber wie verschenke ich ein Parfum?

Man sollte sich gut informieren, wie z.B. den persönlichen Stil und Charakter des Beschenkten kennen.

Wenn man den Beschenkten überhaupt nicht kennt, dann ist es immer idealer ein leichtes Eau de Cologne zu wählen, denn diese duften immer leicht und unaufdringlich.

Sie haben komplett daneben gegriffen? In der Regel lassen sich alle Geschenke innerhalb von 30 Tagen umtauschen - kann passieren, der Wille zählt!

Viel Glück beim Aussuchen und hier meine 2 Lieblingsdüfte für den Winter:

Was sind Eure Lieblingsdüfte ?

Backen mit Stil - Muffins

Was ich gerade sehr mag! Backe, Backe Kekse Kuchen ...

Jedes Jahr an einen grauen Adventsonntag eröffnet bei uns daheim die Christkindbäckerei !!

Heute backen wir mal gemeinsam unsere winterlichen Kokosnuss Muffins:

Diese leckeren Muffins sind die perfekte  Alternative zur aufwändigen Weihnachts-Kekse-Backerei. Ein schönes Mitbringsel für vorweihnachtliche Feste oder Adventstee-Trinken :-)

Für die Muffins:

•  2 Eier
•  125g Butter
•  175g Mehl
• 150g Zucker
•  100g Kokosraspeln
•  1 Päckli Vanillezucker
•  3/4 Päckli Backpulver
•  125ml Milch
• 70ml Cachaça
•  100g weisse Schokolade

Alles bis auf die weisse Schokolade mit dem Mixer zu einem Teig verrühren. Die Schokolade in grobe Stücke schneiden/brechen und mit einem Löffel unterrühren. Den Teig in die mit Papierförmchen ausgelegten Muffinformen füllen. 20-25 Minuten bei 170 °C backen.

Für die Glasur:

•  1 Ei
•  30g Butter
•  30g weisse Schokolade
• ca. 50g Kokosraspel

Das Eiweiss steif schlagen. Butter & Schokolade im Wasserbad schmelzen. Eigelb unterrühren und dann das Eiweiss vorsichtig unterziehen. Sogleich mit dem Glasieren beginnen. Über die Muffins grosszügig Kokosnussraspeln streuen und evtl. mit einigen Silberperlen dekorieren.

Gut trocknen lassen und einfach geniessen! xo
