Hey all you beautiful people!
My name’s Dixie and this is my space to share tips, tricks and tales to help you on your way to becoming famous. It is my hope that you will benefit from some of the disastrous mistakes I have made, because there is no reason for anyone else to suffer! My model philosophy is all about balance. If you spend more time agonizing over yourself in the mirror than you do enjoying the experience, it isn’t worth it. If you spend more time stressing out over your schedule than you do having fun, it isn’t worth it! And most of all, if you find you can’t enjoy a candy bar now and again, or skip a workout to head to the beach with friends….that’s right, definitely isn’t worth it! So relax and have fun with this - modeling can be an awful wonderful frightening fun experience.

It’s all what you make of it!
Alright, with that said, let’s get down to business. I may have mentioned it is okay to skip a workout, but you still have to do them! It has nothing to do with size and everything to do with your photos and your health. I don’t care if you’re a zero or a twelve; a little toning never hurt anyone! My product pick for this month is handsdown Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred DVD. This video is a 20 minute nontop toning cardio machine! It is a 3-level workout, and I don’t care how cool you think you are - start with level 1. Trust me. You do the workout every day for thirty days, ten days per level. By the fourth day I could already tell a big difference in my stamina. I won’t lie, life and kids interfered so I kind of got sidetracked in the middle of the thirty days, but that’s good news for you! I am going to start over and next month I will have proof for you in inches lost and maybe even some new photos! My challenge to you is to come along. Buy this DVD online or at Target (just ten bucks!!) and do it with me! Keep track and next month send in your results. At the end of the first workout you’ll hate me, but by the end of the month you - and your photographers - will thank me!
Okay guys, with that I am going to leave you with a couple of great links and hope to see you back next month!
If you have questions or comments, send me a note!
This column is all about you and the more you contribute, the more it will improve! So send in your model questions and fashion suggestions and you may be featured next month!
Much love! * Dixie * Diva_Dixie@yahoo.com
