#iSavvy Song Of The Week ~ Come Get It Bae

“There comes a time when the feeling will grab your wrist . You’ll need a sugar fix, baby. There comes a time, and you won’t believe what you’ll do when that sugar’s calling you…”  

My second installment of iSavvy is a song getting regular play during my workouts, Come Get It Bae by Pharrell Williams. I’m loving everything Pharrell at the moment. Miley’s a nut but the girl’s got a cool voice.

Those of you who are regular readers know my aversion to cooking (the major aversion is really to all the freaking dishes!) but when I have music on, it’s far more tolerable. Try it. Music makes everything better.

Be sure to check out my premiere of iSavvy, I featured one of my current fave songs, One Republic’s Love Runs Out long with some good reasons to blast those tunes during your workouts.

#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?

Review: Get Your Groove On With The BassBoomz Portable Speaker

I love my BassBuds earphones so I was very excited to review the BassBoomz high performance portable Bluetooth speaker. Music lights me up so the idea of playing it anywhere, anytime fills me with joy. This is a fantastic speaker. Designed with an innovative Bass Expansion System, BassBoomz gives you great sound quality with amazing bass.bassboomz-blue

It’s Small enough to fit just about anywhere (even in your pocket!) but gives huge sound amplification. BassBoomz are compatible with smartphones, laptops, tablets and MP3 players; they have a Li-ion battery that recharges fast giving you 5 – 6 hours of music. One speaker is loud but if you really want to blast your tunes and crank it up, hook 2 up with the dual connectivity option. It’s great looking and comes in a variety of cool colors. Mine is pretty pink which matches my fabulous BassBuds earphones!

Its easy portability is such a bonus because I love playing music while I’m making dinner, doing housework, etc, music makes life more fun. And I can’t tell you how nice it is to just put it anywhere and not have to bother with an electrical outlet. My iPod dock will not get much use now that I have BassBoomz! I’m excited to take it to the beach and pool this summer and it will be great to have when we host outdoor BBQs. Remember when we had to lug a big giant boom box everywhere? Wish I had the BassBoomz when I was in high school!

BassBoomz-headerThey have generously offered my readers $85 off the retail price so you can get them for only $46 for the entire month of March! Enter the voucher code:  BBZUS026506 at check out. Grab one, get your groove on and let me know what you think, you know you want one!
