Gloss Find: Caltrate Gummy Bites

41gi72xseYL 207x300 Gloss Find: Caltrate Gummy BitesWe’ve talked a bit about the benefits of Vitamin D and it’s importance as far as calcium absorption to ward off osteoporosis. Recent news has also touted the benefits of Vitamin D for breast health, diabetes, maintaining a healthy weight and heart disease. But remembering to take my daily multi-vitamin is hard enough…let alone adding calcium and Vitamin D supplements.

Enter Caltrate Gummy Bites.  Gummy vitamins aren’t only for the kids anymore! These tasty supplements give you 1000mg of calcium and 1600 IU of Vitamin D in the form of four little candies, which beats eating a pound of almonds or 8 ounces of sardines each day to get the same amount of nutrients.

I stash the Gummy Bites in my desk and have a couple mid-day after lunch as a treat and then two more before dinner.

Caltrate Gummy Bites – $12.99 for 50 at drugstores nationwide or at Walgreens.com

Gloss Find: ShaToBu

shatobu photo 228x300 Gloss Find: ShaToBuI think it’s safe to say that almost everyone has at least tried on shape wear under dresses to see how they’d look as it creates seamless curves in all the right places. It’s also been the saving grace for many of us … not to mention celebs on red carpets.  This new kind of shape wear definitely smooths, but is also known for helping you shape, tone and burn calories (that’s where Sha-To-Bu came from).

Created by chiropractor, Dr. Denise Perron, the seamless tights are lined with resistance bands in the areas we love most… the butt and thighs.  Studies prove people who wear ShaToBu burn up to 12% more calories per day just by going about their normal activity.

This all sounded too good to be true so I tried it out for myself.  I wore them all day and it was just a little bit harder to take a step or go from sitting down to standing up.  I’m one of those people who keeps my abs engaged standing on the subway, so I’ll take it!  Like I said, time is precious and every minute counts.

ShaToBu is available in buff and jet black for $50 and $60 on ShaToBu.com.

Motherhood Reebok1 226x300 Gloss Find: Reebok Maternity Workout GearIn New York City pregnant women all seem to be in such good shape.  I’ve noticed they don’t seem to change much about their lifestyles and continue to work out and do yoga.  I could only hope that one day if I decide to have a baby, I’ll be the same way.

They’ll be happy to find that Reebok collaborated with A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood Maternity Stores on an active wear line that’s accommodating to their new lifestyles. The workout tops are still cute and breathable, but are a bit  longer with a wider waistband to offer more coverage.  The pants begin under the belly and look so comfortable you may want to invest in a pair just to hang out in.

Keep up your fitness routine and style during pregnancy.  It will make you look and feel better.

Gloss Find: Bob Harper Kettle Bells

CKB 10 15 20 300x270 Gloss Find: Bob Harper Kettle BellsI’m a huge fan of kettle bells because by swinging them around with the proper form you can tone your whole body.

Bob Harper, the Co-host of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, partnered with GoFit to create a line of kettle bells that are great for working out at home.  I would have never thought to purchase kettle bells for myself, they’re normally something I save for the gym, but these come with an instructional DVD with workouts designed and performed by Harper that make using them practical.  It’s like having a personal trainer in your living room.

“I’ve always loved kettlebells for their great combination of toning and fat-burning cardio,” says Harper.  “My Contour Kettlebells are ergonomically designed to eliminate strain on your forearm—they feel awesome when working out.”

The collection ranges form seven to 45 pound kettle bells and will be available in October.  You never know when you might want to throw around a kettle bell.
