#iSavvy Song Of The Week ~ Love Runs Out

e713c7d1424563592116c7b119c56f8b“I’ll be your ghost, your game, your stadium. I’ll be your fifty thousand clapping like one. And I feel alright, and I feel alright ’cause I worked it out…”

Like nearly half of the American population you might have made a New Year’s resolution to get in better shape. Moving your bod never goes out of style.

It a non-negotiable for over all health. It’s common knowledge that the benefits go way beyond helping you look hot in a bikini. It’s essential for mental well being and longevity. I feel incredible after a good session on the elliptical or a morning jog but music is a must have to keep me going.

Research has shown that certain types of songs, particularly those with strong lyrical affirmations can give you the physical and mental boost you need to keep going.

So plugging into your iPod doesn’t necessarily mean mindlessly checking out, certain songs can help you keep focus. And let’s face it, music staves off workout boredom so you can keep going. Frankly, just playing whatever song your in the mood for helps!

According to a study in journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise the right tunes can make your workout seem less strenuous. The researchers believe it’s likely because putting the focus on keeping time with the song keeps the mind off the pain.

I don’t need any research to back up the fact that music just makes it more fun. Music makes everything more fun.

In this new Savvy Suburban series I’ll share songs that get me going so they just might help motivate you to go the extra mile in your efforts to get in your best shape ever.

My pick for the premier post of iSavvy is my favorite at the moment… Love Runs Out by One Republic. I just can’t stop playing it!

What songs motivate you to go the distance during your workouts?

Super Bowl Fun Facts

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Chips, dips, chicken wings, burgers, pizza, meatballs, beer guzzling, a whole lot of hootin’ & hollerin’… the Super Bowl is a big deal, it’s practically treated like a national holiday. More than 1 billion people all over the world are expected to watch. I don’t know much about football but now that my son is playing tackle I’m learning. (And actually liking it ;)!)

“Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority” ~Vince Lombardi

My husband is a football fanatic. I know baseball, I grew up going to Dodger games with my dad. You might not know much about football either but at least you can wow ’em at that Super Bowl party with these tidbits of knowledge!

I know that's the Charger's stadium, but hey, I'm a SoCal gal

I know that’s the Charger’s stadium, but hey, I’m a SoCal gal

  • This is the Broncos 7th time playing in the Super Bowl, the Cowboys & the Steelers have each played 8 times. The Steelers took the Vince Lombardi Trophy 5 out of those 8 times
  • The winning team of the first Super Bowl game was The Green Bay Packers
  • Did you know that they rotate as many as 120 footballs during the game?
  • Lots of people are just as tuned in to the commercials. A :30 spot costs companies 4 million dollars, a :60? 8 million!
  • Have any idea what the ’12th man’ signifies? The fans in the stadium
  • Just 2 months shy of his 38th birthday, Peyton Manning is not the oldest QB to play in the Super Bowl. That would would be John Elway, he was 38
  • Despite all the hoopla, the Super Bowl is the 2nd most watched sporting event. The Soccer Champions League final gets more viewers. Sort of surprised me too
  • No Super Bowl game has ever gone into overtime

Who do you think will declare victory? Jimmy Fallon’s puppies picked the Broncos. Have you seen that cuteness on his show? Well, they got it right for the world series! Will you be cheering with Blitz, the Seahawk’s mascot or Miles, the Bronco’s mascot? Post a comment and give me your thoughts on the game, Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers performances and let me know which commercial you though was most creative!

“The reason women don’t play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit out in public” ~Phyllis Diller

Review: Get Ready For The Weekend With Skinnygirl Cocktails

When I was approached by the Skinnygirl Cocktail Company (yes, the one Bethany Frankel famously sold for a killing) to do a review I was psyched! Cocktails on the job. Holla! I’m a bit apprehensive when doing reviews – what if I’m not fond of the product? I can’t lead my fabulous readers astray, I must speak the truth and the truth is… loved them! And so did our guests.
226781_10151683386215610_1088650991_nRefreshing with just the right amount of zing… went down smooth and built up to a nice relaxing feel good buzz. We tried Island Coconut and Cucumber vodka, they have 5 other flavors and a whole line of cocktails for your imbibement pleasure including vino! The flavors are subtle and unique. We drank it straight, lingering and enjoying every sip throughout the night but you could make a killer martini with this vodka or pound shots if that’s how you roll.
Since we liked these so much I bought their Margarita and it did not disappoint either. Can’t wait to try their Mojito. These drinks are lower in calorie which doesn’t hurt a bit but don’t let the name fool you, it’s rich and flavorful. It may be called Skinny but it’s not skinny on taste. Even though he’s a scotch man, my husband loved it too .
laborday_tnOur friend Chris’ drink of choice is vodka so I knew I had to get his opinion…  “I’ve had my share of vodkas over the years (from high-end to the low-cheap stuff [from when a younger lad], and I’m happy to share that this smooth, light, relatively potent and ‘refreshing’ vodka is one that I’ve already acquired and added to my liquor chamber. The perfect blend of ingredients was enough to satisfy my palate, without overpowering the senses with dominant, heavy-sugar based and ‘syrupy’ flavors.  Skinnygirl provided a savoring taste that felt pure, reminiscent of lounging peacefully in a day spa… and quite frankly, it was just delectable.  Its intoxicating subtlety brought a calming and relaxing balance which proved to be a  perfect complement for an evening with good friends.”
