Marsha Hudnall presents Fitting in Fitness during the Holiday Season posted at A Weight Lifted, saying, "It's a common theme during the holiday season: "I have so much to do, how will I ever stay with my fitness plan?" It's true; we commonly overcommit ourselves during this time which means, for many of us, that we turn self-care into a luxury instead of a priority.

If keeping your healthy weight loss program going is an overall goal, there's another commonality during this time. Experts agree that we will do better by putting weight loss goals on hold; just aim for maintenance. Given that many of us gain weight during the holidays, preventing holiday weight gain is a step forward.

But back to the fitness issue. Our most recent FitBriefing "Run, Run, Rudolph" gives some timely tips for keeping your fitness program going right now. Experts agree making a holiday fitness plan is key to succeeding. A snippet from the article:

Making a Holiday Fitness Plan

First step: Add fitness to your “To Do” list.
Second step: Re-work your goals – are they realistic? Think maintenance.
Third step: Acknowledge you have to be flexible because you have less time available.

Read the whole article (it's short) for strategies for making or keeping fitness part of your life during busy times."

Grooming

Aparna presents Doy care Aloe Vera Soap posted at Beauty and Personality Grooming, saying, "Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage.
Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form."
