Every morning I prepare my own Muesli to boost my energy for the day. You just need oats, milk, raspberries, nuts and a little bit of honey to start your day in a healthy way.

Enjoy your breakfast!

Be Wellicious and change your life! Healthy living it’s not just about what you eat and how much you exercise. Modern life can be busy and stressful, and that can be just as much of an impediment to healthy living as a bad diet and lack of activity. Believe me…I know what I am talking about.

If you’re serious about healthy living, you need to examine how you deal with daily obstacles, as well as how often you take time to reflect and rest. Healthy living isn’t just an idea, it’s a lifestyle, and that means that the changes you make have to be committed and lasting.

Overhauling your diet and exercise regime are obviously the first step towards healthy living. The next is curbing destructive habits like smoking or alcohol abuse. But what most people don’t realise is that stress can be as harmful to your body and wellbeing as any other toxin.

Managing stress and getting adequate rest is crucial to wellness. You might want to explore soothing activities that release tensions and lower levels of adrenaline, such as massage, acupuncture, aromatherapy and hypnotherapy.

If you are serious about managing stress and creating and fostering the mind-body connection over the long term, you might want to take up training activities like yoga or Pilates.

Be Wellicious and you’ll see how your life will change!

Wellicious took part at Premium Berlin which is one of the first tradeshows this season and showcased its Spring/Summer collection 09. Fresh pieces in beautiful and feminine colours and amazingly soft summer fabrics. The absoulte favourite fabric was the light cashmere modal jersey which is just perfect for the summer.

News from Bangkok…why not combine Yoga with Powerplate! Just turn your Powerplate on to 25Hertz (only possible with certain models from Powerplate). It really works well and gives your yoga exercise a twist. Please talk to an experienced instructor to avoid injuries.

Have fun & Be Wellicious

I am really proud of my little sister. She just rocked Berlin. Maike showed her first collection in Berlin on the runway of her fashion school ESMOD and got mentioned several times in the German press. Maike dedicated her first collection “Heat of Africa” to Africa as she grew up in Zambia and Uganda. Journalists loved her different and colorful designs…and she even won the prize for best collection (out of 45!). Wow!

Your Wellicious Heike

The exotic fruit from Africa contains six times more vitamin C than oranges and twice as much calcium as milk;-) The pulp, which is powdery and white will be used in products such as cereal bars in Europe. In Africa the fruit and its leaves are also used to cure illnesses such as fevers and kidney disease. The leaves of the Baobab can be eaten as relish. The pulp is dissolved and mixed with milk or water to a delicious drink. Even the seeds are used by Africans as edible oil. The Baobab tree can live for hundreds of years and grows up to 50 ft!!!

The Wellicious Yoga Pants look really good on Katy. We love the picture. Katy is a wonderful yoga teacher. Just try out her classes. Visit her website www.appleyoga.com!

Be Wellicious!

You might associate Pilates machines with medieval torture machines but after a guided lesson you will be surprised of the amazing results you get…

If you don’t have a Pilates studio close to your place, try a class in the gym, it has similar effects. What you need is just a mat and motivation to get the nicest abs on the beach…

I do a mixture of Pilates, Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga, which I think is a very good combination to get it all: relaxation AND nicely shaped curves.

Here are my 10 reasons to do Pilates:

1. It flattens, tones, strengthens abdominal muscles (I call it “ab-envy”…)
2. You get longer and leaner muscles (not bulky!)
3. Your posture improves, the movements are more graceful (Think of a ballet dancer)
4. You’ll develop muscular control that helps you to reduce the risk of injury
5. It increases circulation (good bye cellulite…)
6. It stretches away tensions
7. It improves the youth and flexibility of your spine
8. You’ll heighten your concentration
9. You’ll breathe deeper
10.  It boosts your self-esteem and energy (Pilates is work! There is a big accomplishment after a workout…)       

 Happy work-out & be wellicious
