Stop. Collaborate and listen!

Remember when Vanilla Ice rocked the mic like a vandal and you couldn't help but find him and his dance moves kinda hot? Well, here he is, in all his Ice Ice Baby glory:

Don't front, you know you loved this song...and  still sing all the words out loud when you are on a long run without people around (that's not just me, right?). There are actually a lot of epic bars in this song that can serve as workout mantras. My favorite is:

Anything less than the best is a felony!

Vanilla Ice frozen in time? No way!

Vanilla Ice (born Robert Van Winkle) is actually a buff home builder (and house flipper) now. He hosts a show on the DIY channel called The Vanilla Ice Project where he builds and renovates homes with his hands-on team.

He's also inherited a few more color tats than he had in the 90's:

Can't hate! He looks way better now than he ever did. No potbelly. No pudge. He looks pretty FIT to me....

Depending on how you look at it, sweat can be your best friend or your worst enemy at the gym. I say, sweat hard no matter what, but think smart in advance when it comes to your hair. That's where BLOW (the blowout salon) and one very handsome Blow Pro Expert named Gregory Patterson, come into my story.

We wanted women to have the answers for saving their blowout at the gym, during and after their workout. We wanted to change the idea that the only place you can go after the gym is home. According to Gregory, you CAN have red carpet hair post-gym. I saw how he does it with my own eyes and have been using his full proof tricks on my own hair ever since we made THIS VIDEO BELOW. I hope you like it! There's a very special discount at the end!

The beautiful fit women featured in my video are trainer/dancer Nicole Winhoffer and Nicole Katz of Yoga216. I chose them because they work hard at their fitness jobs and even though they're expected to sweat, they want to look...

Ecco's NEW Life Street Booties ($180) will take your fashion game to the next level because everyone will be staring at your feet. These golf shoes sparkle beautifully in the sun. They have a glittery, metallic finish in an overall neutral shade that goes with anything. The Life Street Booties are wearable on and off the course, and could be mistaken for a luxury hi-top sneaker.

They're designed with 100 TPU traction bars that are barely noticeable and they're made to hold up through rain and heat. A perfect fit for the golf fashionista who strays from the conservative. They also come in white but we're loving the gold-tan color combo best!

My more yogi-minded friends have been trying to get me to Zen out and meditate for years. I have doggedly resisted them just as much as I've avoided too many downward dogs (unless they are after a fast run or a ton of heart pumping cardio!). So when I was invited to Lululemon Meatpacking's night of music and meditation at Milk Studios, I was admittedly there more for the music and refreshments.

A preview of the film On Meditation, an evolving series of portrait films that explore the deeply personal practice of meditation, was featured. Hmmmm. And then Garth Stevenson began to play his music while we were all led through a profound meditation by famed yoga instructor Elena Brower. And that was what did it---I finally had my Zen moment! A legit transformational meditation experience.

This meditation thing might have some legs, I thought. But I never would have given it a chance without the music and the film project attached to the event. And I doubt I'm the...

Cardio dance? It's never been my first choice workout. But who better to try it out with than Cherie Lily who sings about working out and getting sweaty?! We hit up Mahri Relin's Body Conceptions Studio in downtown Manhattan. Mahri is formerly part of the Tracy Anderson clan. Watch my videos with Cherie and Mahri to learn about my "first time" and the heart-pumping music that made it so memorable!

Cherie Lily the Workout Star

Cherie Lily just released an album all about working out and getting sweaty. I asked her what got her hooked on fitness. Cherie first got the workout buzz at 16 when she took her 1st fitness class. She loved the group dynamic and now she teaches cycling and her signature HOUSEROBICS classes at Equinox. Her performances on stage are quite a workout too, which clearly demonstrate her love of rocking out. Cherie talked to me about the role of dancing in her life before we put our bodies in motion in Mahri's class.

Cherie the Dance...

Who's the bravest woman in fitness?

And why was I so compelled to interview her for my Women Who Empower video series on YouTube? How could I not interview a woman who wears makeup to workout...even if it is war paint! WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW for all the answers:

I met Lauren Berlingeri, the host of Woman Vs Workout on YouTube, last year. She's obsessed with health and so we immediately clicked. Little did I know how brave this starlet was until I watched all her shows. And yes, she's gorgeous, which is why I had to ask about her favorite supplements.

From the video, you will have learned about Aloha.com, the site that Lauren has been hard at work on. She's asked me to share that Aloha has evolved since we shot her video interview. Wellness products will no longer be curated but they've tailored the site for a fantastic experience. I encourage you to check out Aloha especially if you're intrigued by or already sold on supplements.
