(Not so) Off the Beaten Path!

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 05:00:00 +0100

Let's face it, where you stay when traveling can make or break your trip. We have racked up more than our fair share of frequent flier miles, and over the years have created a short list of secret favorite destinations. In Miami Beach, where even basic hotel rooms can soar upwards of $400, allow us to recommend the National Hotel. Thi [...]

Kettlenetics: The Science of Kettlebell Training

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 05:00:00 +0100

We’ve raved about the benefits of kettlebells before on our blog…which is why we at elements living were extremely excited when we got a chance to review Kettlenetics, the new DVD workout program from kettlebell master Michelle Khai.

Kettlenetics is a 5-DVD set that comes with a unique 4-lb kettlebell (apparently the only one [...]

Bring Home a FUSE-ion of Fitness and Elegance

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 05:00:00 +0100

Here at elements living, we love taking our work home with us…mostly because our work is creating a healthy, fit lifestyle! And if you’re like us, then you’re definitely taking your fitness outside of the gym, too. (No, we’re not talking about sweaty yoga mats!)

But how m [...]

Giving Kids the Royal Treatment

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:05:58 +0100

Royalty may have its drawbacks, but who wouldn’t want to be a queen for a day? While most of us will never be lucky enough to make Queen Bee, some of us, like Miss Florida USA and elements Advisory Board Member Jenna Edwards , actually got to experience the royal treatment (American-style).

Jenna turned her taste of royalty into a humanitarian mission by founding the organization Queen for a Day, a non-profit group that hosts parties for children in pediatric cancer u [...]

Sweet & Sassy Cocktails from South Beach

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:43:23 +0100

As the hot days of summer come to a close, we at elements look back fondly on those sultry nights we spent sipping a cocktail or two at one of the many cafes and outdoor restaurants we love to frequent. (Okay, so technically being based out of Miami Beach, we can enjoy outdoor cocktails anytime… but that’s beside the point!).

Wipe Away That Sunburn

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 07:22:32 +0100

Going out without sunscreen during the summer is just asking for trouble. But dealing with bottles, tubes, messy applications and slimy creams can be a nightmare. So what’s the solution? Get your sun protection in easy-to-use wipes, of course!

Here at elements we love the convenience of the Shady Day Daily Sun Protection Wipes. They smell great, lea [...]

Get Fit, Get Slim, Get Well

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:42:31 +0100

Summer’s the perfect time to finally capture that slim, svelte figure. After all, there’s great weather, there’s great beach activities to try out (volleyball, anyone?) and there’s always that (loved and hated) bikini to get you motivated to lose weight. But when you need that extra push to shed those extra pounds you can always turn to…. [...]

The Iceman Cometh

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:25:22 +0100

On a hot summer day, is there anything more refreshing than a sparkling ice cube?

A community of ice chewers think not! This large group of munchers have proclaimed their love for the practice of chewing ice (www.icechewing.com) and praise it as a calorie-free treat that they engage in pretty much at all times of the day. Some buy cups and even bags of ice from fast food places. Some have special ice machines installed in their houses. There are even "teeth-friendly& [...]

Just What the Doctor Ordered

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:00:51 +0100

Picture this: a recuperating loved one reclines on a bed, surrounded by sky-clogging helium balloons, wilting flowers and massive gift baskets that contain 90% overripe apples and pears and 10% candy, all sent to help them “feel better.”

We’ve always thought there was something wro [...]

Question: What do an 18th century Russian weightlifter and Jennifer Lopez have in common?

Answer: They’ve both used kettlebells for a full-body workout.

Happy Earth Day from elements!

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 08:30:45 +0100

There’s never been a better time to become more environmentally conscious. Recycling, making our homes (and businesses!) more energy-efficient, and cutting down on waste are top priorities, and at elements we encourage people to follow a healthy, natural life [...]

Open Up Your Heart and Let the Sun Shine In

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:23:49 +0100

We know that cold weather has its pluses: adorable sweaters, snowboarding, getting cozy by the fire. But let’s get serious: for every brisk, sunny, blue-sky day, there’s about 20 lead-gray ones that make you want to crawl back under the covers and never come out.

Luckily, the good folks at Sunligh [...]

A Little Bar Goes a Long Way

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:13:37 +0100

We’ve all been there. You’ve got a meeting in 15 minutes. Or you’re waiting to pick Junior up from band practice. Or you skipped breakfast and now you’re paying for it. Your stomach is howling, you need something to sustain you, but you’ve got no time to actually get anything. That’s when you reach for the reliab [...]

Buff Up Your Body and Your Mind on Fitizens.com

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:37:25 +0100

In case you hadn’t noticed by now, we’re kind of crazy for fitness (and if you haven’t, shame on you! Head to elementsliving.tv and start reading!). So when we come across a site that is just as excited as we are about getting people motivated to live healthier, we want to tell everyone about it! [...]

Shhh...It's a Secret!

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:03:11 +0100

We pride ourselves on having an open, relaxed atmosphere at elements-not just in our clubs, but also at our corporate offices, too. But sometimes women need to get something off their chests so embarrassing, so spectacular that there's no way they'd be able to tell someone and look them in the face again. Which is why we are to [...]

Facial Yoga: the new Botox?

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 01:00:00 +0100

Hey your face looks great! Do you work out? Facial yoga is taking urban environments by storm. We stairclimb, spin, and run our ways to a better body, but we neglect our most important muscles... our face. Annelise Hagen, author of The Yoga Face: Eliminate Wrinkles with the Ulimate Natural Facelife, claims these facial workouts can soften existing wrinkle lines, and pr [...]

Fresh facial mask from your fridge?

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:51:15 +0100

We were surprised to find out that two of our favorite, simple foods make one of the best all natural (and fresh!) facial masks… try it this weekend, you will love the results…

Heather Davis, talent coordinator of Wilhelmina Models, stopped by the elements™ South Beach offices on Friday. We are always impressed for her [...]

Home is where the Hunt is

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:25:19 +0100

We love Holly Hunt! We could end this entry with those four words, but we'll elaborate just a bit to give this top designer her due credit. Holly Hunt is a upmarket collection for the home, with boutiques found
in LA, New York, Chicago, Washington DC and Minneapolis (we assume due to the large concentration of creative agencies located there). Beautiful does not begin to de [...]

Serious Snackitude

chris@elementsforwomen.com — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:22:02 +0100

The perfect snack? Well, we sure think we are close on this one. During a visit recent visit to Whole Foods Market in Greenwich, CT, our well-intentioned shopping list was getting interuppted by a nagging chocolate craving. Even in healthy markets, the snacking choices are generally less-than-perfect, especially in the middle of bathing suit season! Imagine our surprise to fi [...]
