No outsourcing for Cavalli. His recent addiction to blogging has readers captivated by his humble and authentic posts. Cavalli has also coined his entries with endings such as ‘I love you’ which, especially for those of us already enamorate of him, endear him to our hearts even more.
From NYmag – ‘While many designers outsource their blogs and Twitter feeds to PR teams, there’s a candid authenticity to Cavalli’s posts that suggests the words are all his own…’ and the NYmag review goes on to state Cavalli wrote ‘Are you thinking this is not real? I swear it is me, I want to entertain you, and I need to get new emotions …’
See bloggers can be anyone – from the very, very famous to those representing the famous to those trying to become famous…

There is no big secret to losing weight. It is all about two things: Calories and Activity. Oh wait…and a little thing called WILL POWER! No one has the perfect body. However you can per-fect your own body to a level of ‘fit’ that makes you feel good and healthy! Now I would be lying if I said I diet healthy all the time. No I don’t. I have been known to skip a few (hundred) meals and count every single calorie that I consume…but I have also learned what works and what doesn’t…FOR ME. Having children really helps you figure out exactly what works. Packing on the pounds during pregnancy – willingly or unwillingly – isn’t easy to shed. I have two boys and getting my pre-pregnancy body back was never easy, but I did do it and fairly quickly.
There are so many ‘guides’ out there on how to eat right, how to diet, how not-to-diet, how to count calories the right way, how to exercise, how to spot tone etc…etc….etc…. Here’s the deal – Spring Break roughly 60 days (give or take a few) away and it’s time to get serious. I do suggest counting calories and do something active everyday. And if you are going to be at a luncheon or dinner or event – just say no to the rolls, the butter, the cakes, the mini cupcakes etc…if you have ZERO will power…then the next day (or two) make up for it and be conscious of what you are consuming….and again get active!
Oh and this whole ‘treat yourself after a crazy hard workout’ – NO…DUH! Make smart food choices!
Here is an awesome quick workout from SELF magazine – if you find you are too busy to hit the gym – try it! I love it!
These are six easy moves front the DVD craze GETINSANITY.com
