La la la leggings

Although we LOVE ravewear, we're all about making our customers happy. So we thought we'd better give you some gorgeous daywear too.

We've been working to develop this side of the brand and have introduced 19 pairs of leggings, in our unique designs and patterns, for yours truly.

Here's a selection of our favs....

First up - Pink Lightening Leggings, probably the coolest leggings available, and much more vibrant than your standard high street pair.

Next up is Peace White Leggings - you won't find another pair as trendy as these, as well made as we make them. Plus you can get the Peace Trucker Cap for an additional £14.98 too!

 

Or what about our Lazer Leggings? These double layer leggings in turquoise and black are a must for the serious legging collector. Beauties at £35.

 

AND last, by by no means least, our Beat Leggings. We just had to have a pair that we could wear with our ravewear. Match perfectly with all our love heart ranges on a cold night. Or just show the love during the day with the matching black bandeau top - together just £37. That's an entire, very hot, outfit for £37!

Belly busting food

So January is all about getting fit and healthy for the new year. You've made your resolutions - and probably broken half of them already.

So he's a little inspiration.... get that slim tummy - perfect for showing off in our bikini tops. 

Part one is all about the right foods.

 

1. Sinning Salt

Salt attracts water - so if you're eating a lot of salty food, it's likely your retaining a lot of water, which means you're looking and feeling a little bloated. Cutting your salt intake will lower how bloated you are. Don't forget its not just the salt you add whilst cooking or seasoning your food, but also in any pre-packaged foods. That's where the reals salt sins are.

2. Raw foods

Raw foods, take up more space in your gastrointestinal tract, meaning you get a swollen belly. Cooking your veggies means less space used, but all the same nutrients as the raw equivalent.

3. Fizzy drinks

This one isn't new - fizzy drinks with all those bubbles and gas are going to fill you up and expand your tummy. Cutting out your carbonated friends will make you feel lighter, and make you look leaner.

 4. Too many carbs

Unfortunately all those yummy white carbs aren't doing you any favours in the tummy area. Pasta and bread, are your tummy enemy. By decreasing your carb intake, your body has the chance to use the stored fuel from your older carbs - which means you'll actually get the chance to burn it off, instead of just adding to it. Plus you'll loose some of that stored fluid too!

5. Chewing Gum

Although it leaves you minty fresh after eating that cheese and onion sandwich at lunch, gum isn't helping your tummy stay flat. Whilst chewing, you swallow air which then gets trapped in your stomach, causing excess pressure, bloating and belly expansion.

Maybe try a mint instead.

6. Fried foods

We all know it - but here's the reason why. The fat in the fried food is digested a lot slower than all other foods, leaving you feeling heavy and keeping the food in your tummy for longer, giving you the big tummy look.

7. Acidic drinks

This includes tea, coffee, alcohol and fruit juices. The acids in these drinks irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing swelling.

8. Windy foods

Some foods contain a bit more gas than others, causing bloating. These include - brussel sprouts (would never have guessed right?), cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, onions, peppers and citrus fruits.So there's just some helpful tips for foods to avoid.

 

So that's the foods, but remember its not all about what you eat. Sometimes it's how you eat it. Eat slowly. Not only will this give your stomach to tell your brain its full (usually about 20 minutes) but when you eat quickly, you intake large amounts of air, which leads to bloating.

 

Good luck girls and look out for part two - belly busting workout moves!!

Get over those exercise blues

Now it's a new year - so a new you... in theory. But we all know starting a new exercise regime in the cold and blustery winter, when all you really want is to curl up front of the tele with a hot choc, is pretty difficult.

But we're with you every step of the way - and we've come up with some new and fun ways to shed those extra pounds.

So how about exercising in the comfort of your own home. No tredging to the gym and slogging it on the treadmill. And how about making exercise funjQuery15203498708016655683_1358371200876?

Dance it out with 'Just Dance 4' - available on the Xbox Kinect, PS3 and the Wii, starting at £23.99 on Amazon.co.uk - not only is this a great game to play with your friends and have a laugh, but the new 'Just Sweat It Out' section gives you a real workout, and has a calorie counter, so you know exactly how much you've worked off. With all the best chart-toppers of 2012 this is one of the best dance games selling at the moment.

 

 

 

 

Or maybe you're wanting killer abs? So how about Zumba Fitness Core (Wii) £24.97 on Amazon.co.uk - which concentrates on your core to deliver tight and toned abs - perfect for all our cropped tops and bikinis.

Choose from 20,40 and 60 minute classes, and even have a friend join you with multi-player. You track of your progress, including calories burned and technique score. And being completely handsfree gives you more scope for movement and a better performance.

 

 

 

And last but by no means least - its the dvd workout wars. Maybe you prefer down to earth and happy Davina, or perhaps more brutal Jillian Michaels, either way, they are toughies.

We love a bit of Jillian - who's better than the trainer of Biggest Loser USA??? She's a lean, mean fighting machine, but some of her workouts are just 30 minutes of sweat (and sometimes tears) which are pretty much guaranteed to get you in to shape. 30 Day Shred is the best for beginners, with three levels working her 3-2-1 interval training formula, 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio and 1 minute abs.

And Davina's got the High Intensity Training covered - less time on exercising - but so much more intense than you're boring gym workout. She covers, cardio boxing, abs and toning in under 40 minutes, including warm up and cool down. Perfect for fitting in to your hectic schedule.

 

So what are you all doing to get fit this year? We want your ideas and tips!!

 

Love Rachel Intern Contagious
