Shopping Tips for Christmas Eve

Good Morning REVEllers! Christmas is just 1 day away . I know most of you will be leaving your offices a bit earlier today to add the finishing touches on those decorations , get those last minute gifts and also get the final ingredients for those special dishes . The roads will be crazy later . So here are some tips on how to be safe on the streets and get the most out of your shopping :-))


  • Use the buddy system and shop with a friend. You are more likely to become a target if you are alone. Be sure that you have a list of the stores you want to go to in mind before leaving home . Criminals can easily spot people who have no idea where they are going and always "fumbling" around.
  • Park your car in a well-lit area and keep track of where it's parked. This will get you in your car and on your way faster. I know it will be reaaallllyyyyy hard to find a "good: parking area around this time of year , but i would recommend staying away from those parking areas that say " vehicles are parked at owners risk " . This is basically saying " There are no security guards or fences , therefore if your car gets stolen or you get robbed .. we don't care .. we told you so ".
  • Be careful what you post online. Don't alert others that you aren't at home. I can never understand why people with I-Phones feel they need to check into every location on Foursquare . Do they get points for checking in to places ? You are literally sending an invitation to all sorts of crazy people. People , please stop doing it , they are criminals out there just waiting to know where you are so they can mob you .
  • Wear your purse across the body to keep your hands free for your keys, both when heading to your car and into your home.To all my Fashionistas ( like myself who love over sized bags) Opt for a cross body bag . Criminals will see a big bag and assume its full of money!
  • Be just as vigilant about your surroundings during the daylight hours. A crime can occur at any time. I see ladies especially do this , they walk as if they live in a country where there is no crime . Blackberry or whatever posh phone in hand "flashing" around as if they are saying "hey look at me .. im sooo rich i have my phone in hand and its not even being used , come rob me". Be careful! If you notice that every store you go into you see the same guy in that orange shirt and yellow pants ( for example) ... it means you are being followed . Every now and again .. you should take several quick glances around you to see if you keep seeing a particular person.
  • Wear Less Jewellery! That's self explanatory so i don't really need to get into this one 
I know its Christmas and its all about Peace and Joy and having that Christmas spirit , but not everyone share these sentiments . There are people who wait on this time of year to prowl on those people who've worked hard all year long and easily take all that away in a matter of seconds.

In Flight Fitness ! Exercises to do on a Plane

Good Morning REVEllers , you must think i have gone completely off my rockers :-) It was just last year while i was en route to Tennessee , i saw a lady doing some crazy moves . Being as inquisitive as i am , i asked her what she was doing and she told me she was exercising . In the travel industry , December is described as "Peak Season" , more people travel during this time than any other season. People are travelling to be with loved ones or go on vacation . Today, i would like to share with you exercises you can do ... while in flight :-) These tips will be extremely beneficial to most of you who will be having those long connecting flights where you are sitting for hours.




Exercise #1: Leg Lifts

Sit on your seat. Close your feet. Now pull your knees up and then down without touching the floor with your feet. Up, down… Repeat at least 8 times! This is great for your abs! Extra points for those of you who wear jeans, as jeans add extra resistance and make the exercise more difficult.

Exercise #2: Circles

Sitting on your seat, lift your knees like in the previous exercise and do circles without your feet touching the floor. Repeat at least 8 times, and then do it again circling your knees in the other direction.

Exercise #3: Crossover Lift

As you are sitting, place the ankle of your left leg on top of your right leg. Now push your right leg up. And down. Repeat at least 8 times, and then do it again switching legs.
Again, your foot should not touch the floor.

Exercise #4: Tri Lift

Now place your hand on the bars of your seat. Make sure that you don’t annoy the people that sit next to you, and that your elbows point toward the back instead of outwards. Now lift yourself up using your triceps (the muscles in the back of your arms). Up, and down, up and down…Repeat another 8 times.
Your feet should touch the floor for stability. However, don’t use them to help yourself get up. This is an upper body exercise!
These are just some fun , quick exercises you can do on a plane . A bit of a warning , be sure to ONLY do these exercises when the "FASTEN SEAT BELT" sign is off . Also , in case you are wondering if people will think you are a freak ... they will . But! You will be a healthy freak :-)
