The Glamourous Life
Getting the most out of everyday
In this space and online, I will be introducing you to all the talented people, exciting events and cool places that add a little glamorous touch to my life everyday. I have always believed that “The Glamorous Life” is available to anyone, anywhere. Here in Birmingham, we are lucky to have beautiful parks, walking and biking trails, and lovely green spaces all around town that offer a chance for some recreation, a secret place for daydreaming, or the perfect spot for an impromptu picnic (one of my favorites!). So, join me in celebrating the city we call home and learn all the secrets of how to be Glam in B’ham! Living glamorously includes a fit and healthy lifestyle, and it really is easy to do.
One of the easiest ways to get in shape is by simply walking. It is my favorite form of exercise. I love being outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. It clears my mind and energizes me for the day ahead. All you need is a good pair of walking shoes, and you are set to go. I even keep an extra pair in my car, so I can take a walk if I find myself having to wait on my kids for an extended period of time. So, put on those walking shoes and get out and take a walk along the walking trails near you. You will feel so much better about all those holiday parties coming up, and you will definitely look and feel your glamorous best! Make sure to check out the links below for more local walking trail information: www.mountainhighoutfitters.com, www.trakshak.com, or www.mtnbrook.org for a brochure of the trails and sidewalks of Mountain Brook.
There is a misconception about what glamour is. First, what it is not.
It is not about age, or looks, or money, or your address. Glamour, is
a state of mind. Visit http://mybirmingham.blogspot.com to learn more.
Loved this article! Now I have an extra pair of walking shoes in my car!
Glamour - the quality of fascinating, alluring, or attracting, esp. by a combination of charm and good looks. This is the dictionary's definition of Glamour. I suppose everyone has their own thought about what glamour means to them. Taking care of yourself and feeling your best is certainly highly important but for me that falls into the Health category and isn't what I call "glamourous". My opinion of glamour is feeling confident and beautiful and feeling excitement and adventure; letting go of those inhibitions and being the best version of YOU. Putting on walking shoes and taking a hike may do it for some but putting lipstick on my killer smile and pouring on the charm does it for me! ;)
