Dance Like Beyonce Every Hour To Fight Back Against Killer Effects of Sedentary Lifestyle

Every Hour, Get a Short Move On

If these articles don’t inspire us to get our dance moves on, not much will.  We repeat that doctors say a minute and a half of gettin’ your groove on in some way every 30 minutes will go a long way to keeping you healthy. Two minutes of treadmill walking every 20 minutes is great. Reality is that most of us don’t have access to a treadmill during the day, so we must improvise.

For starters, standing up and waving our arms while marching in place for 90 seconds is better than doing nothing. March for a minute and add squats at desk for 30 seconds. Improvise! Trust me, I understand the mindset that says “I can’t stop now” — except that you MUST!! Your life depends upon it. Just imagine that you’re Beyonce or one of her dancers.

I will try to adjust my own routine to accommodate 90 seconds of exercise every 30 minutes and let you know how I’m doing. ~ Anne

Kim Kardashian As Fertility Goddess? A Politically Incorrect Take On Jean-Paul Goude's Paper Magazine Images Pt 1

Kim Kardashian As Fertility Goddess? A Politically Incorrect Take On Jean-Paul Goude’s Paper Magazine Images Pt 1

My Life Beliefs:

1. Humanity first began in Africa and then migrated across the globe.

2. Goddesses preceeded gods as the powerful forces of the universe, and monotheism’s one god. Monotheism finished off the goddesses for good.

3. Goddesses were frequently associated with procreation and fertility and those evolutionary beliefs are part of our DNA.

4. The earliest goddesses were most-likely dark-skinned and African. If that statement appears racist, there is nothing I can do about it. 

5. Jung’s concept of the ‘collective unconscious’ is real. As humans we inherit a body of psychological, physical, social experiences in our unconscious minds. Fertility goddesses are embedded in our collective unconscoius minds, and they are not going anywhere.

6. Life provides us with teaching moments. Rather than verbally pummel Paper Magazine’s and also Refinery 29’s values with comments like this one from Katie, writing on Refinery 29:

I think perhaps what most people find disappointing in all of the posting about Kim Kardashian is because she doesn’t reflect what most of us would consider the values of a truly strong 21st century woman. R29, from what I can tell, values the forward thinking, independent, and stylish woman; someone who has a career, goals, and (gasp) orgasms. Kim is a mockery of all things that a female role model should be, and not because of her naked photos. Nudity isn’t even shocking anymore. What I’m basically saying is that we, as loyal readers, expect that the women and celebrities that R29 post about and celebrate is a reflection of the company’s values. Much like when there was an uproar over Vogue putting her on the cover because many felt that Kim didn’t reflect the ideal Vogue woman, I find myself resenting R29 for showcasing a woman who frankly defies many of the ideals R29 promotes (you know…like being an intelligent person who’s worth isn’t 100% defined by looks)

 … could we talk about this topic and explore it from multiple angles? Note that Refinery 29 was taking heat for being the lead website writing and promoting the Paper magazine editorial. I admit to being astounded that Katie believes that Kim Kardashian is nothing but a high class porn star. It’s a bit like Victoria’s Secret’s Sophia Neophitou calling Kate Upton a footballer’s wife with a face anyone can buy.

Kate Upton Joins William Morris Endeavor & Yes, She Will Still Model

There are times to not take headlines very seriously and the shout outs that Kate Upton is leaving modeling for acting is a good example. The fact that Kate Upton has left IMG Models to cozy up with its owner William Morris Endeavor only reinforces the smart-girl attitude that the new face of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has brought to her career development.

Kate Upton knows that she has big brand potential. Having left in the dust all her naysayers in the fashion industry, Kate has major career ambitions and they touch down in multiple endeavors. Can she sing?
