MARCH MADNESS MEANS MORE SPA MOMENTS

That magical time is now upon us. The first quarter of the year, where you can bet, that all of the college basketball

obsessed fans are posted, either, at their favorite watering hole, sporting venue, or ticketed seats.

Its the time for brackets, bubbles, bets and excited fans intently listening to the smooth color commentary of the always-energetic Dick Vitales.

Its also a great time, for those of us who are puzzled by all of the hoopla (pun intended*), to take advantage of the opportunity to bask in the quiet, relaxing and soothing ambience of a day spa.

With menus that run the gamut from fortifying skincare treatments to medi spa enhancements, there is a regime for everyone.

So, while the guys are bonding over this eagerly awaited sporting 'extravanga', why not take this long overdue time, either, in solitude (no guilt allowed) or with friends (who are probably long overdue as well)

SPRING FORWARD.....

A-H-H, Spring at last!!! The beginning of the end of everything Winter. The renewed scent of warmth in air that has been freshly cleaned by nature's spa. The symphonic melody of our kite friends, returning from their Winter's sequester. Longer days, shorter nights, children running and screaming in jubilation - celebrating in the welcomed warmth that the season brings. SPRING, a time of rejuvenation from the claustrophobic nature of Winter. A new beginning, new hope, new attitude. Spring signals a time of regrowth, rebirth, renewal. It's nature's reward for enduring the dormancy that it bestows upon us during the Winter solstice.

In the words of the famous Stevie Wonder-- "everything must change, nothing stays the same...". Never is it more evident than in the change of the seasons. For me, the onset of Spring is a sign of that renewal, rejuvenation and growth. Spring-- the beginning of new things.

In celebration of this new season of growth and renewal, Pearls of Wisdom, LLC is preparing to 'put on a new face'. Our blog will be getting a facelift. We will continue to bring to you the newest, innnovative and 'must have' information, items and features. Because we love to hear more from you, we will be adding new interactive features to our blog.

We will be 'springing forward' in this new season of change--with the goal of bringing you a fresh, new and useful information.

Help us celebrate the re-launch of our blog site---it will be All Dressed Up for * Spring *

Fit for Life... And Your Event !

Couple a healthy, well rounded diet with a rigous exercise routine - done regularly - is a surefire prescription for looking your best for your upcoming Event. As the hosts of the lavish,

detailed events that we meticulously plan, there is one very important, albeit special, detail that we must be certain not to overlook--- being in the best physical condition for you long awaited gala. Whether you have the luxury of time, several months or just a few short weeks, your self esteem (not to mention your physique) will sky rocket by starting a healthy eating and exercise program. And, as with any exercise program that you embark on, be sure to check in with your physician, first.

The general rule of thumb, is 30 continuous minutes of cardio activity, for at least 3-4 times a week. Make your cardio routine fun and varied. Activities can run the gamut from following along in an aerobic routine (in the comfort of your home), the traditional tried and true health club cardio classes and/or completing some much needed rigorous household chore (FYI: energetic vacuuming or gardening can use up to 450 calories/hour !)

Adding strength training to your cardio work out, serves as a turbo-boost to your fitness program. Strength training can really make an impact to reaching your fitness goals all while sculpting a strong, beautiful physique. Strength training is also just the reason to hire that

Personal Trainer who will assure that you are on the right track. An alternative to traditional weight training techniques is Pilates. Pilates, emphasizes 'core' body strength and is equally as effective as traditional weight traing routines.

Rounding out the exercise triad is the flexibility component. Great for boosting general fitness levels; as well as, increasing joint flexibility, and acting as nature's reminder of the need for inner 'quiet' is yoga. At its most gentle, yoga helps to improve posture and , at a power level, it burns more than 200 calories per hour.

Finally, set goals that are realistic, measureable and attainable. Remember that being physically fit is not about an occasion, but, very much about a healthy lifestyle. With this in mind, you will be greeting guests and dancing the night away- in your new 'fit', svelte and healthy physique !!!
