Taking Care of your hair is easy…

especially when you’re not traveling!  Sometimes we travel, grabbing things at the last minute, forgetting all of the essentials, and we’re left with horrible, and I mean, horrible shampoo provided by the hotel. Yes, it’s conveniently set up next to the dry, paper wrapped soap, but it provides absolutely zero benefits for our hair. Sometimes you get the really fancy hotels that give you the shampoo in one container and the conditioner in another. At least they’re making an effort to realize there are benefits to each product, right?!

Indulge has made it easier to travel and maintain your hair’s beauty with the Wella Brilliance Travel Pack. It has a travel size Shampoo, Conditioner, and Treatment. Let me first say that all three of these products are absolutely amazing. They smell like fresh smoothies all whipped up and put into little bottles for our convenience.

Begin with the Brilliance Shampoo that is formulated with diamond dust, it boots shine and protects color’s vividness.

Next, use the Brilliance Conditioner. Made for fine and normal hair, the Brilliance Conditioner is lightweight and leaves hair moisturized, luminous, and full of free-flowing movement.

Seal the deal with the Brilliance Treatment. Triple blended with three lightweight polymers, the Brilliance Treatment instantly restores vibrancy and makes your hair irresistibly smooth.

See! Indulge has made your summer months easy with the newest product from Wella, the Wella Brilliance Travel Pack. Reserve your travel pack at the E. Market location (717-718-4465) or the S. George Street location (717-846-4424).

You won’t regret it, and you’ll be happy you packed your travel pack once you sit it on the counter next to that sorry yellow bottle of two-in-one shampoo. Your hair will thank you!.

We know what you’re thinking…I’ve got to get in shape; I’ve got to get that flat stomach I’ve been attempting to pull off.

Here’s the trick: You must be strictly watching your consumption of food, be consistent with your workout schedule, and be willing to modify your routine.

First Thing’s First: I can’t stress enough how important it is to be strict about your diet. Make a plan of attack for each day (or the whole week!). Balance out your meals with plenty of protein, salads (minimal vinaigrette dressing), and vegetables. Remember that fruits have a lot of sugar in them so keep those to a minimum as well. Make sure you’re eating enough because you’ll need the energy for your tough workouts.

Secondly: Be completely consistent to your workout schedule. If you plan to go to gym in the morning before work go at the time you set your alarm for. If you plan to go at night after work, pack your gym bag with all the essentials the day before and put it in your car. If you are going to do “two-a-days” (working out twice a day), then stick to it. Whatever time or times of day you plan on working out, then really do it. Don’t let that voice in your head that wants you to fail talk you out of your routine. The hardest part is usually getting to the gym, but once you’re there, and you start workin’ it, that angel on your shoulder usually kicks in with encouragement. Sometimes, it helps to create a calendar and X-off the days that you go. It gives you a visual countdown to your goal date.

Last, but Not Least: Modify. Modify. Modify. Switch it up. Every two weeks you should be switching up your routine. If you’re always working with weight machines, do a class instead. You can also buy an exercise book with many different exercises in them. Work out an exercise routine and constantly review it to update the moves you are doing. Tweaking it just slightly will keep your muscles guessing. This is what keeps us (or gets us) in shape.

These three steps aren’t always easy, especially since we have so much temptation around us 24/7. Avoid it, and keep your goal at the front of your mind. Getting into shape isn’t just great for us to maintain our health, but it’s a step closer to living that Full Throttle life we all desire.

As always,

Live your life…Full Throttle!.

Handing in your resignation letter is uncomfortable.

Let’s face it-You’ve planned it now for weeks, thought about what you were going to say, how you were going to say it, and even thought about a few “Office Space” walk out scenarios. The big day finally arrives, and you.just.do it. Resigning from a position should feel, taste, and breathe bittersweet. It means you actually cared about what you did. You may have even had a passion for it. It means, although you may have had a love/hate relationship with your job, you still cared about your position.

It’s always sad leaving a job that you care for, but the thing to remember is that there is more to look forward to. There are doors wide open, and sometimes smacking us in the face, for opportunity. I think that we often look for a job that is “in our skill range,” and we aren’t open to opportunities that may challenge us. Don’t fear opportunity or the chance to expand your skills.

When the day calls for you to close the door to an old job, keep your spirits high knowing that your future holds something good, something new, something that will only help you to grow as an individual. Hopefully, it will mean an increase in your earnings as well! One can hope, right?!

Embrace the bittersweet resignation. Reminisce. Move Forward.

Live your life…Full Throttle..
