The Bikini has a Birthday!

The bith of the bikini was 65 years ago.  Sad to say those days of wearing a bikinis are over for me. But I remember my first one. It was a flowered print light blue in color. I had another one that I wore too. It was a green knit. I have a picture with me standing on top of a car wearing that bikini striking a pose. Ah for those Wild Wild Wildwood Days. So today I am sharing this video to you. A toast to bikinis and those who are young enough to wear them!

65 years of Bikinis

A Fairy Prom Mother makes wishes come true

Reflections Hair Salon and Alfred's of Philadelphia, a florist are making dreams come true this Friday for five lucky Interboro students. The salon and the florist are located in the Briarcliffe Shopping Center in Glenolden.

Christine Thomas, owner of the salon wanted to promote positive self image and good self esteem for teens. She has been at the salon for over 20 years. Thomas felt anything she could do to help young women feel good about themselves would be fantastic. She had the idea in February and contacted Interboro High School.  Interboro High  picked five girls who they felt deserved a chance to have a head to toe makeover.

"It's small.  This is the first time doing this. I want to make it bigger next year. .. get a dress shop involved and a limo service.  Students could write essays,there would be a contest." said Thomas.

The  makeover is free to the girls. The flowers, too.
If they had to pay for this the cost to each girl would be over $200. Add the flowers you are up to $250.
The young women will get a spray tan, makeup, an up-do and jewelry for their hair.
The boys picked out the flowers. The girls and boys met with the florist making sure the flowers would match the dress they will wear.

"My daughter Cartier is ten. When I told her I would like to make this happen every year, she said you can call yourself the Fairy Prom Mother, " said Thomas.
 Reflections Hair Salon is located1052 Ashland Avenue in Glenolden. You can contact the salon by calling 610-389-3203

Tip of the Day
Keeping track of all your progress may be all you need to rev up your routine. When pedometer wearing walkers were asked to record their daily steps, they took more strides than those who didn't write down their counts.
Logging the numbers create a mental challenge to beat the previous day. Whether your walking or lifting weights, keep a record to see better results. 

Styling at the Prom

Check out all these great looks worn by Archbishop Prendergast High School students. It’s senior prom time. Guys and gals posed at Merry Place at Glendale Park in Havertown before the prom which was held at Drexelbrook in Drexel Hill

From Zebra strips to paisley prints to solid colors, you set your own style this year.

Anything goes. Bright colors are the rage. The brighter, the better!

Hairstyles were au-natural, long curls are in. Prendie girls were stunning and sophisticated.

The guys looked as good as the gals in tuxedos and suit coats and matching bright ties in the colors accenting the girl’s dresses.  Keep Styling in Delco!!!

Swimsuit countdown!!!

Tip of the Day
Stash sneakers and socks in your car so you can squeeze in a 10 or 20 miniute walk.  You can log in lots of extra miles by being ready to lace up and go wherever you are.  Hit the pavement while waiting for your child at dance class or at a doctor's appointment, it will be glad you did when swimsuit season arrives.
Keep Styling in Delco!

Doing it right!

Tip of the Day!!!

Here are some fitness pointers from celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson.

1. When you do a crunch take five seconds to lift and five seconds to lower.  A slow as molasses pace forces your abs to work harder.

2. Lifting weights tourches 200 calories in half an hour.  Try strength training  fitness class that uses dumbbells  or weights to ease into weight lifting.

3. Have a plan when you go to the gym. Take a few minutes before you start to plan your workout. Each time incorporate something new.
