Thursday, 27 November 2008Skin Care for Athletes, the only organic and natural skin care line designed specifically for athletes spent the evening at the celebrated black tie affair moisturizing and massaging the skin of Athletes and Celebrities alike. Invited by GBK Productions to contribute to the 2008 Golden Goggle Awards VIP Gift Bag, the Tri-Body Moisturizing Spray was given to some 30 athletes, celebrities and prese nters, at the awards dinner, held on November 17th in Manhattan, NY.
“We were elated at the responses that we received, especially from the male swimmers”, stated Taylor Sparks, Founder/Principal Goddess of the Fuquay-Varina, based company. Eric Shanteau and Cullen Jones were both winners at this years event and took full advantage of the complimentary hand massage. “This is very moisturizing and not greasy”, commented Eric. Cullen echoed those same sentiments jokingly stating how, “it is important to keep the ash away”, which is the appearance of dry skin on darker complexioned individuals. Ana Ortiz, star of the hit show Ugly Betty, said, “I love, love the smell and it feels so nice.”
“It gives us a great source of pride to be recognized as one of the leading organic and natural skin care lines focused soley on the skin care needs of the athletes. This is especially ideal for those athletes that are looking for more “green” and organic products and those that are vegetarian as our products do not contain any animal products or animal by products,” says Ms. Sparks.
Skin Care for Athletes has three products in the market, the Tri-Facial Serum, Tri-Body Spray and the 3-in-1 Tri-Body Wash. Ms. Sparks notes that all though the line is designed specifically for athletes, it works quite well on the athletically inclined.
Once a year, the swim caps come off and the glamour comes out. Each November, the USA Swimming Foundation hosts the Golden Goggle Awards, a Hollywood-style gala event that celebrates the sport and raises awareness of issues like water safety, fitness and drowning prevention.

Friday, 21 November 2008Shaun Hadsall, Michigan native and creator of the famous, 12 minute, fat burning workout, Get Lean In 12, has been awarded the “Most-Fit Health & Fitness Professional” for November 2008 by the fitness and wellness industry’s de facto magazine, Club Solutions. Out of thousands of entries, Shaun was one of only twelve finalists chosen for this prestigious award.
Ten years ago, Shaun ex perienced life changes and developed a deep passion for fitness through a nationally recognized physique transformation contest. “After finishing 1st Runner-Up out of over 23,000 contestants, I realized all my bad-debt had disappeared and every area of my life had become more rewarding and fulfilling. This fueled my desire to share this gift with others.” As Shaun states in one of his Get Lean In 12 videos, “I want to give to other people the same gift that has been given to me through fitness and wellness. Showing people that if you can focus less than 5% of your time weekly on the right type of fat burning fitness strategies and practice proper long term eating habits, that you will look better, feel better, have more energy, and at the same time you'll dramatically improve your ability to make money and build your personal wealth. That's why I entered this contest and chose a career in the health and wealth industry.”
The contest was only for Health and Fitness Professionals and involved answering a series of questions and submitting photos. Shaun won a thousand dollar piece of fitness equipment, has a two page article feature in Club Solution’s November issue and is one of twelve people who could win a brand new Pontiac Solstice.
Shaun is a successful entrepreneur who is taking his story and life principles to the masses with Get Lean In 12, an internet based company that helps people develop long term, fat-burning and wealth-building habits, targeting baby boomers and home-based business entrepreneurs.
Hadsall concludes, “Fitness has taught me the greatest lesson of life: that our circumstances and results in life financially, and in every other area are shaped by our actions, decisions and choices we make - not our family, our race or our upbringing.”
