Zumba is mixes hypnotic and Latina rhythms. You get to let loose, dance, and burn calories. This is a great way to change up your workout and add some excitement. I had been one of those people who always did cardio and then weights. One of my friends invited me to this class and it was pretty challenging. I really liked it because I had fun and worked up a great sweat at the same time.

The first class is Free. There are classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays night. Below is the list of when and where

Are you young and have gray hair?

I am now 26 years old and I not only have gray hair, but I found my first gray eyebrow hair. My dad always tells me that my mom had a full hair by the time she was 35 and I am hoping that is not my case too. I have a sister who is 33 and she has not had one gray hair either. I was doing my morning reading and found some other reasons besides aging and genetics that people have gray hair. Below are some of the other reasons why your hair turns gray:

  • Stress
  • Smoking
  • Medical Conditions, Nutritional deficiencies

I am not a smoker and I am really healthy. I don’t think I stress more than the average person, so for me it’s my genetics. The funny thing is that it’s only 1 hair that keeps coming back in the exact same spot. Hopefully it stays that way because getting your hair colored can be very expensive and damaging to the hair. Do you have issues with having grays?

Tonight is the Body, Mind, and Wellness Workshop at 6:30. My friend just emailed me about it and thought that everyone would love to know about it. The Secret of Breath, a mind,body wellness and stress management seminar, is a free community service initiative by The Art of Living Foundation. You will learn some simple yet powerful breathing-techniques, experience a guided meditation, and learn about the tendencies of your mind.

This one hour seminar will teach us how we can consciously use our breath to:

  • Manage our emotions
  • Release stress and bring clarity to the mind
  • Live in the present moment

The way I look at this is that I have there is nothing to lose by going to this event. I am always wanting to learn new techniques to reduce stress and get centered. After a while the same routines start wearing off, so it’s good to have new ones ready to go.

The event is located at Northwest Branch Library - 11355 Regency Green Drive Cypress, TX 77429.

How do you relieve stress daily?

Fourth Of July Fun Facts.

I was talking to younger niece the other day and I asked her what she is doing for the 4th of July. She told me she is going to a party and then going to watch fireworks. Then I decided to dig a little more and I asked her if she knew why the 4th of July was so important. She got quiet and then said “it’s Independence Day.” But then went on to explain which was pretty impressive. This gave me a fun party decorating idea. I looked up fun 4th of July facts (listed below); I will print them out and then paste them onto stars and flags. And then put the quotes around the party area for everyone to read.

  • 309.6 million is estimated population for this 4th of July
  • The value of fireworks imported from China in 2009, representing the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imported ($217 million)
  • 31 places nationwide with “liberty” in their name
  • Thirty places have “eagle” in their name
  • Eleven places have “independence” in their name.
  • There is one place named “patriot”

What other creative party decorating ideas do you have?
