My tip of the week… ‘Muscle Confusion’

Want to Muscle Up? Not really no!

‘Muscle confusion’ is great when you want to have a lean and healthy body, (or toned and sexy if you wish), with shaped, ripped muscles, not bulk and mass, (unless of course that’s your thing, then go for it!).

 You know the expression, ‘Once you learn how to ride a bicycle you will ALWAYS know how to ride a bicycle?’ It’s the same with muscles. They have ‘memory’, and if you consistently repeat the same training routine, it will cease to be effective as time passes, results will become less and less noticeable as your muscles, ‘remember’ and therefore expend much less effort.

 All those years, we were taught to repeat set after set in the gym, in my case 4 repetitions of 20 sets, concentrating on a certain muscle group, those days should be forgotten!

 Instead of repeating sets over and over again, try to surprise your body and muscles with new movements. Let me tell you it’s much more fun as well, repetition is boring for both my muscles and me.

Amazing (MALIN+GOETZ)

malin+goetz_the-models-office_1

Let me tell you two stories…

Story one….

Once upon a time there were two guys, Matthew Malin, a cosmetic guru and Andrew Goetz, a designer guru. They worked real hard and founded a cosmetic company together (Malin+Goetz). It started with a gorgeous little shop in Chelsea, NYC, stocking all their amazing beauty products. They did everything from that little shop.

They became so popular, that even their dogs were the toast of the whole area. This was just the start of their story, their range was totally miraculous, often giving the same results with two simple items compared to the ten products other companies were pushing. Most of all they were loved as they produced everything locally, they were family run and supported the other small family businesses in the area. As I said miraculous products, miraculous company.

Story two….

Once upon a time there was a very spoiled girl called Adela, who absolutely fell in love with a product range she discovered in the ‘Mondrian Hotel’, Miami whilst on a shoot. It had an unusual minimalistic and gorgeous packaging wrapped around products of amazing quality. She had to find more, no matter what! She looked around the whole world for a shop that sold them, then one day as she was walking around NYC, WHOOP! ‘(Malin+Goetz)’ in Chelsea. She walked in and was more than warmly welcomed by Frankie the dog, Dolores his lovely owner and Brian, the tall guy.

Two stories colide when the lovely guys in the shop arranged for me to meet Matthew and Andrew in their new Chelsea offices. They were the sweetest guys, incredibly focused and professional, enthusiastically talking about their vision and plans. On top of this they gave me a huge chocolate chip cookie, a sure fire way to get into my good books!

An amazing product line with beautiful branding and design, launched by two very down to earth, impressive and inspiring people. I’ll post the full interview later in the week, but for now:

Postcard from Cyprus

I recently reconnected with the amazing stylist Roxanne Parker (hopefully I’ll be able to bring you a little interview soon), it reminded me of working with her in Cyprus not too long ago and I wanted to share some of the snaps, both behind the scenes and the final results.

It was a truly brilliant, all Irish, team including the phenomenally talented make-up artist Ken Boylan, Ken has recently launched his own brand and opened a store in his home town of Dublin, definitely check it out: Ken Boylan Make up Artist
