Posted: 15 Jun 2010 10:48 AM PDT
Do you have a problem with afternoon slumps of energy? Many people do, but there is an easy way to avoid that tired feeling! Even if you work in an office and can't get out for much exercise during the day, here are a few tips to give you a boost!


1. Desk Exercises

Maybe you can't do jump and jacks, but a few stretches are easy to do at your desk. Begin with gentle stretches of your neck. Look down at your chest, and then slowly rotate your neck to the left, then to the right. Finish by tilting your head back and looking up. Energize your legs by placing both feet together and raising up on your toes. Lower and rise 10 times. Finish by extending you legs straight in front of you and stretching.

2. Choose energizing foods

Try a turkey and veggie roll up. Low carbs and protein energize! Make it with carrots, cucumbers, cheese, and shredded turkey.

3. Waldorf Salad

This simple salad is another energizing lunch. Apples, grapes, chopped chicken, walnuts, and celery are added to the salad. It's healthy, easy to fix and pack, and energizing.

I am aware that jumpsuits are very 2008 but there are still a few celebrities out there who step out in these confusing pieces of clothing. I say confusing because I still cannot make up my mind whether they bel0ng to every girl’s wardrobe. If you’re in the same boat, perhaps these photos will help us decide…

1. Lindsay Lohan

I am not so sure if she is wearing an undershirt of some sort. The hat also makes her look like a part of Indiana Jones’s team.

2. Gwyneth Paltrow

Now I know that this is a very old look but she gives jumpsuits justice here. Oh it must be nice to have long legs.

3. America Ferrera

3
She is not exactly the America I loved in “Real Women Have Curves” but she shows us here that slim women don’t have monopoly over jumpsuits.

4. Jessica Stroup

Another black number made interesting by the ruching.

5. Selma Blair

Whew, HOT! I am liking the tuxedo-like jumpsuits.

I love ASOS! Whether you need a new summer dress or want something sexy for the weekend, they have every type of clothing imaginable and loads of great accessories, shoes and gifts too! Add in the convenience of PayPal or debit card payments, and fast delivery and it’s become one of my favourite sites. I buy at least one new thing a week… This week there have been so many great new additions, here are just 10 of my favourites…

1. Lipsy Grecian Pleated Babydoll Dress

I love this dress! From its pastel pink colour to the gorgeous, girly styling and flattering shape, it's just unbeatable. Whether you want something to wear on a stroll through the park or to a party, this is the perfect low maintenance yet chic dress. Simply team with white or light pink heels and a delicate necklace and you'll have an outfit to die for!

2. Elle Macpherson Intimates Sheer Ribbons Bra

Price: $54 at asos.com
This bra is adorable! Not only is it supportive and slightly padded to give you great shape, but it's super cute too. Nude is very hot this season and black lingerie never goes out of style, so this clever mix is perfect! I love the silky feel, and the cute black bow in the middle! This bra is ideal for making you feel great, no matter what you are wearing on top of it.

3. Oasis Lipstick Pink Ditsy Flower Earrings

Sometimes an outfit just needs something a little extra, and just recently I've been struggling with what to add. These gorgeous earrings solve that problem! I love their bright colour, and the diamond detailing keeps them looking chic and elegant. They are just so cute! Wear with any outfit that you want to give an extra kick to… I love wearing them with my maxi dresses!#mce_temp_url#

Do you wish you'd been born slim? Could eat whatever you like? Well, I can tell you that there are some things about being thin that drive me nuts …

1. Wood benches, ouch!

Wooden benches and wooden seats. Oh my god. More than 2 minutes is sooo uncomfortable. I need a cushion.
2. Rude comments
I wouldn't dream of telling someone they were overweight, so why is it OK to tell me I look like a stick insect and ask when I last ate a decent meal?
3. No weight to spare…
If you get sick, you lose weight you can't afford to lose, and end up looking skinnier than ever!

Break ups are hard work, but sometimes, it's not the initial shock thats the worst part. It's when you start to miss the way he did something, or how he turned up with roses, or when you realize no one else might want you. If the relationship was bad, you shouldn't be in it, so here's a list of 7 ways to leave a bad relationship alone.

1. Single Scares?

One of the most popular reasons for staying in a relationship you don't want to be in anymore is due to the fear of being single. It's hard to leave the safety net you've got, and see that you are better off on your own. Think about all the extra time you have with your friends and family now, who actually make you happy and don't emotionally drain you. Then make the break!

2. Bad Advice

If you are feeling confused and upset, everyone will offer advice. Some of this won't be right, though, and could lead you to stay in a damaging relationship. For example, your mum or gran might be thinking about grand children, or the risk of you finding someone they don't like, or someone worse. They might even be thinking that it's better the devil you know. They aren't feeling what you are, though, so make sure you think through any advice and if you see enough signs to breakup, do it!

3. Good advice?

Good advice?

The opposite side of this can be true, too, though. One of my best friends found herself unhappy in her relationship a year after it started, but she couldn't understand why. She changed herself, being quiet and miserable, and when she finally told us how unhappy she was, we all told her to leave. She felt so vulnerable that she hated being told what to do, and decided to resist our advice and stay with him anyway. Looking back, we should have talked to her about what she wanted, and her options, rather than giving more advice to an already confused woman. If you are being given advice, think it through or share it with someone unconnected to the situation rather than just resisting it.

Whether from an online store, a charming vintage shop, a flea market or your grandmother’s closet, who doesn’t like a good vintage find? And any girl who loves vintage treasures would concur that old is indeed gold! Here’s something to add to that list of must-have treasures: a lovely Chanel Vintage Heirloom Side Chain Shoulder Bag.

What’s So Fab about It: I think what makes Chanel synonymous with fabulous is a certain “je ne sais quoi” factor that is hard to pinpoint. In any case, this vintage Chanel bag may just be the perfect shoulder bag in all its quilted glory!
Where Would I Wear It: One of my life-long dreams has been to visit Paris and when I do, this is the bag I want to carry everywhere with me!
How Many Tall Lattes It’s Worth: 738
Where to Look 4 It: asos.com
Maybe someday I’ll find something as fabulous as this Chanel Vintage Heirloom Side Chain Shoulder Bag in my grandmother’s closet. Until then, all I can do is sigh wistfully. Have any of you had better luck with your grandmother’s closet? What treasures have you found in there?
