ADELE - Ultimately has the 'POWER'

Adele’s an extremely lucky girl!! she recently won 6 Grammy’s, ‘Album of the Year’, and got the opportunity to cover the March ‘POWER’ issue of Vogue - basically, all in the same week...this diva is unstoppable! I’m worried about her though! She has lost a LOT of weight, and had vocal surgery a few days before the Grammy’s!

Sometimes loosing significant amounts of weight, can effect your singing voice; Air travels through the vocal cords and lungs very differently, and can alter the tone/pitch of the voice. Did she lose the weight because she wanted to? Or because people like Karl Lagerfeld made her feel less attractive? I hope she’s not ruining the beautiful voice we all fell in love with, because of how she looked. Her gift is rare and should be respected, nobody has the right to judge her size except for herself.

Besides the weight loss, Grammy’s and surgery's; Adele exudes beauty, and shines through the pages of Vogue this month. Her elegance and temperamental, lady-like moments were beautifully captured, by the extremely talented: Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Adele’s soothing, tear jerking sound has been greatly accepted by the majority of the world, why weren't her looks? She. Is. Gorgeous- in every way, and always was.

Make sure to pick up Vogue’s ‘POWER’ Issue, this March, for the Full Editorial and interview with Adele!!

Things are starting to heat up!

My friend Chloe, bbm'ed me randomly the other day and invited me to go to a hot yoga class. I had the time, and always like to keep active so I decided to go with her. It was to be Chloe's first time, but, I had taken a few hot yoga classes over the years. I was actually quite excited because I have been really tense and anxious lately with the combination of work, school, and maintaining a social life...whhhheeeeewww! Remembering the feeling of leaving a hot yoga class had me ready to go--the best way I can describe it is how you feel after receiving a deep tissue massage. You are left so relaxed and de stressed, its like your body is saying "thank you, I really needed that!"

The Studio that we went to specializes in Bikram yoga, it is a series of poses that are done in a heated room of 110 degrees. There are 26 poses and two breathing exercises during one session. Throughout the class, you will sweat profusely...every time I go I think I literally sweat out three pounds. It is an abdominal work out, combined with stabilizing exercises, ending with meditation full body relaxation. Additionally, there are many more benefits of practicing hot yoga; detoxification, muscle strengthening, weight loss, boost immune system, increase energy.

Hot yoga is the perfect way to destress and stay warm during the winter. To find a yoga studio near you I suggest checking out www.yogatoronto.ca
