Joey’s General holiday Styling Advice: Choosing your outfit for a holiday work party can be tricky – there’s a fine line between what is fabulous and what is not. Your look is sure to be a hit by following these tips:
One: If you choose a mini keep your neckline conservative and sleeves 3/4 or full length.
Two: When opting for a sleeveless or backless style line, keep your hem knee or floor length.
Three: Low necklines call for longer sleeves and a knee or floor length hem.
This season jewel tone colors and velvet fabric are on trend and very chic!!
REMEMBER: A pencil dress is a professional go-to if you’re unsure of which silhouette to choose.

Tips for Surviving The holiday Season:
One: Use Tracy’s Wellness shake in the morning for breakfast. Just add 2 scoops with 8-10 oz. of water or skim milk. It helps get rid of that stubborn belly fat!
Two: If you’re going to be doing the last minute shopping and like to go early, making your breakfast in to-go form is the best way to get those nutrients on-the-go.
Egg White Mini Muffins: Spray any regular muffin tin with coconut oil spray or light olive oil spray In a small mixing bowl, use 2-3 egg whites, mixed with 1/4 cup skim milk (for vegans, use hemp milk, almond milk, or your already favorite non-dairy), 1/4 cup diced yellow onion, 1/4 cup diced uncooked asparagus, 1/4 cup diced red peppers, add fresh oregano or tarragon for fresh herb taste, salt, pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder.
Mix all together and take a small ice cream scoop or your 1/2 measuring cup to scoop the mixture into the muffin tin.
Bake at 350 for about 10-15 mins. You can place what you don’t eat in a plastic bag for the next day. Just pop back in the microwave for 20 seconds before you head out.
* you can also add your favorite vegan cheese!

Turn holiday Moments into Memories with Lifestyling
|
|
I think that in this fast-paced world of heightened Internet exposure, tweets and fleeting posts, the holidays should be celebrated being really present and with the people we care about but also with our inner selves. What most people have forgotten is what the holidays are meant to be. The moments that will really make these days memorable are those that will sprout from being in touch with who we really are and being deeply connected with our loved ones.
On a lighter note, I always think that traditions make holidays memorable and whatever that is; it is never too late to start. Create your own! It could be having a special gift exchange with a group of friends or it could be hosting an eclectic dinner with a bunch of people who may not be related to one another but whose only connection is the person who is gathering them to celebrate in high spirits.
All these moments are meant to be meaningful and heart-warming and stay imprinted in one’s memories forever. Just make sure to really continue doing them every year!

Capturing the Moment
|
|
The nice thing about shooting friends and loved ones is that they have a high tolerance for being bossed around. Don’t be afraid to pick your location, whatever you think is most attractive or fun – everyone will generally go wherever you tell them to go. If you’re outside, try to either have the sun at your back or choose a shady spot – thus no squinting. If you decide to shoot into the sun, be sure to use a flash for fill, or catch a little lens flare for a different look. Inside, on-camera flash can be cool and quirky – try slowing your shutter speed down (if you have a manual camera) for some flash-frozen moments with a little movement. This is especially pretty with a tree or candles in the background. Try to catch candids – some of the best shots are unplanned. If you’re shooting with your phone, go nuts – Hipstamatic and Instagram will add a little panache to shots of your holiday ham or cookie tray. The flash on an Android is far, far better than the flash on a iPhone – step it up, Apple! You’ll also find that everyone looks a little better if they’re looking up at you – stand on a chair, a milk crate, a stack of presents, whatever’s convenient – everyone will thank you later.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza, Good Yule!

Surviving holiday Fetés

I am a Christmas Queen and have many many traditions.
First Christmas Eve is a Black tie dinner with my neighbors with only food bought from the Petrossian Catalogue. All the gifts are passed out and one pressie is allowed to be opened that night. On Christmas day, we cook all morning (a traditional English feast) while opening our pressies. I insist that each present is opened one-by-one and savored, so this ends up of taking all day.
I love buying gifts for people; it is so fun to find exactly the right gift. If I see something in May that I think someone will like I buy it and stick it in my present drawer but for me.

The Togiharu Gyutou Knife (pricey but dreamy), I am really into anything from John Derian but have always wanted this decoupage, I can never have enough of my pal Pim’s jams and a case of Pappy Van Winkle would go down like a treat too!

Finding the strength to workout during the holidays
|
|
Please remember to stay consistent with your workouts through the holidays.
Understand that we are going to use this time around the table to enjoy our loved ones. Even if someone in your family makes a casserole with french fried onions or a dessert with sugar overload… don’t STRESS!
Enjoying these traditions a few times a year won’t do you harm but making them a part of your daily routine will! That’s why I will be back in the New Year with all of the tools you need to make that happen.
This holiday season enjoy feeding your soul but please don’t take a break from your workouts!
Our wonderful Maria Kelling brought her amazing Grambo to my kitchen this fall to teach me how to make her famous pecanless pecan pie!!!!! Enjoy!
Happy holidays!
