past few years, and it’s easy to see why. This “trendy” breakfast food has been popping up all over instagram because it’s delicious and packs a ton of health benefits. It never gets boring, because it’s so easy to customize your avocado toast with your favorite toppings. Berries, eggs, bacon, or even sweet potatoes can go with avocado! The options are endless and will give you a great start

to your morning. This version of vegan avocado toast is full of superfood pomegranate and pumpkin seeds, and can be made with your favorite regular, gluten free, or paleo bread.

The answer is YES!! The Mayo Clinic and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) recommends that children as young as age 7 can benefit from weight training. Children should perform weight training with an experienced coach/personal trainer who can teach them the proper form and intensity that is appropriate for that individual child.

The NSCA (I have their highest gold standard certification) uses all evidence based research to make its recommendations, meaning a lot of research studies performed regularly. They have studied the misconception that resistance training will stunt a child’s growth. There has not been one growth plate fracture reported in any youth resistance training study. This shows that when your child works with a knowledgeable coach/personal trainer that they can safely perform resistance training. The NSCA sates “ With appropriate supervision and instruction, the risks associated with youth resistance training are not greater than other activities that children and adolescents regularly participate.”

HERE ARE THE BENEFITS:*Muscle strength in all muscles can help protect your child’s

muscles and joints from becoming injured. Muscle imbalance (when some muscles are strong and others are not) often lead to injury.

*Improved performance in all sports that your child plays*Increased bone strength: proper weight training puts the

necessary force on the bones that cause the bone to increase in density and strength

*Increased confidence: when a child is able to do push-ups that he/she wasn't able to do in the past it builds confidence and a positive feeling of accomplishment.

*Helps children maintain a healthy weight. Burning calories through weight training will help your child to maintain a healthy weight. Muscle burns more calories than fat so the more muscle

your child has the more he/she can eat and not gain weight.*Cardiovascular exercise is also important in the overall fitness

level of your child.*Improved Mood: exercise causes your brain to release serotonin

the “feel good” hormone.*Increased concentration levels: exercise helps the body release

energy and can lead to a calming affect after you finish. Studies have shown that kids who exercise are able to focus better in school.

Here are the National Strength & Conditioning Association guidelines to safe weight training for your child:

1. Supervision of a coach/personal trainer2. Warm-up of light cardiovascular exercises that mimic the

strength exercises that the child will be performing3. Repetitions of 12-15 when using heavier weights is most

appropriate4. Body weight exercises should be part of a strength training

workout and can help the child build up to using other types of resistance.

5. Children should have a rest day in between each workout.

“They’ll LookLike New Forever.”

With

The arrival of the “outdoor living room” — a fashionable term for a comfortable, extra living space outdoors — has brought with it “the outdoor man cave”, carved out by toting up handsome stainless steel barbecue grills; bar islands; flaming fire pits; and wall mounted, flat screen TVs for Football Sunday cheering squads. It’s also time for gentlemen of good favor to move over and make room for girls’ nights out (outside that is). Today’s conveniences, available from leading-edge hardscape products manufacturers, offer the ladies a lot of reasons to host backyard get-togethers in lieu of traveling out to a local restaurant, lounge or public meeting spot.

For most women, small parties traditionally begin in the kitchen. Female guests are known to join the hostess while she scurries around prepping food and keeping a close watch on oven temperatures and cooking times while cleverly arranging appetizers and pairing wine pours.

The thought of backyard cooking has been long-linked to summertime grilling of chicken, hot dogs and burgers, but by today’s standards, cooking outside can mean different things for different people. The most casual or upscale cooking and dining experiences can be simple or multifarious with memorable summer soirées making it into all four seasons. It can mean a great way to grill a new Southeast Asian satay, spit-roast a whole chicken using a savory baste with its beginnings in a nearby herb garden, bake an authentic bistro-style tomato pie, or cook veggies in adaptations that are socially and nutritionally good for you, your lady friends and family members.

Chances are there’s a cooking component from Cambridge and other hardscape product manufacturers that falls right into your outdoor lifestyle and reflects a fresh approach to favored indoor culinary tastes and personal cooking styles. The models from Cambridge can stand-alone or be built-in to a patio setting that also provides casual seating right where all the kitchen action is taking place.

Cambridge Fully-assembled Outdoor Grill Islands and Pre-cut/Pre-packaged Grill Module Kits, for example, are compact yet

versatile, gas cooking and grilling patio components. They have the durability of hardscape materials and polished granite countertops plus premium-grade, stainless steel grills and cabinet access doors. For larger areas, four-piece Cambridge Fully-assembled Outdoor Kitchens can be arranged in “L”-shaped and “U”-shaped configurations or in a straight line. “L”-shaped models are also available in pre-cut/pre-

packaged kits. Large grills with

five burners, two lights for nighttime cooking, rotisserie, built-in thermometer, warming rack and slide out grease tray are among the features included with the standard Cambridge Stainless Steel Appliance Packages. Consider adding an authentic, wood-burning Outdoor Pizza Oven or a Bar Module to broaden your backyard’s entertainment value.

A professional contractor can help with a design that is gender-neutral so everybody can enjoy the moment. Visit an authorized Cambridge Distributor for a handy Kitchen Design Template and plot your own space.

Like any recipe worth its salt, a pinch of Cambridge Outdoor Living Components within your patio setting blends right in with the flavors of Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec®.

YOUR BACKYARD CAN BE THE PERFECT DESTINATION FOR A GIRLS’ NIGHT OUT

Lori-Girl Creations Becoming The Go-To Service For Inventive and Affordable Interior Design

Offering Everything From Space Planning to Window Treatments, Fine Furnishings & Fabrics, Staging, Color Consultations, and More- the Highest Quality At The Most Reasonable Prices

For well over a decade, Lori-Girl Creations and its Founder and President Lori Miller have been THE Interior Design Company that can give you exquisite and high-end looks for a shoestring budget. Since its founding, Lori-Girl has helped a diverse clientele achieve their vision. With the integration of Miller’s listening skills and design knowledge she helps create unique spaces to meet the needs of both residential and commercial clients!

Lori is available for comment as an expert and as a guest for any upcoming panels or programs

Miller founded Lori-Girl Creations, Inc. in 2000, and holds degrees in both Interior Design and Psychology. She has been featured in various publications and in a variety of media segments both nationally and locally.

Lori believes that through her training in Feng Shui, Reiki, Native American Studies, Counseling, and Interior Design she can assist people in making positive lifestyle changes. Her view is that your environment impacts on your well-being and focusing on small changes can help to create a clear space through conscious choices.

Initially starting out with a Masters Degree in Counseling, Lori covered the full spectrum of this field. Working with a variety of populations she landed a Unit Chief position in NY’s largest Prison System, Riker’s Island. During her more than 10 years working with prisoners she accepted a part-time position in a wallpaper store while decorating her own house. Pursuing her

lifelong dream of painting and working in the arts and looking for a reprieve from the severity of life, this catapulted her talents and creativity. Full steam ahead Lori knew that to enter the field of Design she would have to return to school. While receiving a Degree in Interior Design, with honors, she gathered the necessary experience working with various products, in showrooms, and with other Interior Designers.

Lori has also co-authored the book Feng Sh…What? The Basic Rules of Good Design with Julie Hernandez, a licensed therapist. This is the first book written in dialogue format which explains the decorating process. With an easy-going conversational manner, they take you on a journey that explores the unique relationship between personality and design. It is a colorful, picture-filled book which provides you with step-by-step instructions, checklists, design ideas, a color test and advice to help you gain insight into your own unique personality & style.

Now, as Lori-Girl Creations heads full-speed into the New Year, it’s the perfect opportunity for those looking to breathe new life into their commercial or living space through conceptual planning, aesthetic and technical solutions at bargain prices!
