Life of Kimberly Edwards

Whatever my favorite headshot is at the time is what I use online and for go-sees, etc.

Just wanted to share this one with you that I’ve been using lately – I go through phases…LOL

No doubt, if you’re into fitness or being healthy, you’re buying water bottles or carrying a water bottle with you wherever you go.

Well, let’s face it…Many of the water bottles today aren’t very stylish.

So, I have a solution!

You know one of my new favorite places to get neat stuff is Posy Lane, and they have these awesome personalized water bottles you can get with your choice of pattern and even your initial on!

The base of it unscrews, so you can keep your keys in it while you’re at the gym or working out! How smart is that?

…But you know I love a little color and a little craziness, so I would go with this pattern…

How cool is that, right?

Now, I must admit a guilty pleasure of mine…Chai lattes! Mmm…

You could even get personalized tumblers with your initial and choice of fabric!

For some reason, I can imagine my chai tasting to much better in one of these! LOL…

They must have made this one just for me!!!

Basically, for anything  neat, personalized and pretty, even gift favors and things of that nature, you have to check them out first!!!

This is one of my newest photos I just received a few weeks back from Peter Tamas – the photographer we had for the Town Shoes shoot I did -

This is an extra – obviously, with nothing to do with shoes – just for me and the photographer…I scanned it to the computer for you.

The entire team was absolutely fantastic that day and I think we got some really great photos out of it! I can’t wait to see the rest of them!

I don’t have any problem with rainy days…

In fact, I quite like them! I like rainy Fridays even more! LOL…

When it’s rainy out, I like to get all cozied up and drink some hot tea and do a little writing…

…or in my case today, a lot of writing!

I tended to our numerous websites and blogs today and did a fair amount of organizing, answering comments and the like!

I was checking out PosyLane.com again today and I fell in love with the idea of getting a personalized ink stamp!

It may sound funny or vain, but actually, they are really cool…I just want one for the heck of it…LOL

I’d like to get 2 of them.

1. For both me and my hubby – An example is here to the left…They have different fonts, but I love that ours would be K E K We’re just cheesy like that!

Isn’t this awesome?

2. For all of my recipes and Cooking With Kimberly correspondence – Check out how neat this one is to the right! They have one with spoons in the background instead of whisks too.

I just fell in love with these…I’m sure I could find a use for another personalized ink stamp – they have some great ones that you can use for return address labels.

What’s really cool is that you can also make these stamp desings into embossers – Neat idea, right?

They’re so creative and stylish…

Posy Lane just has the cutest stuff – I checked out their personalized children’s nap mats and I can’t wait to buy one for a friend’s child close to me!

Of course, I’m girlie, so I’d have to get the pink one with little ponies around the border. I love how you can personalize it with the child’s name and you get to decide if you want the pocket of the blanket or the actual blanket embroidered and with what color thread, as well as your desired font…Love that!

Go check them out – they’ve got so much more that I couldn’t even begin to scrape the surface to tell you about all my little finds there!

Now that I psyched you all up with the last 3 posts on how to become a fitness model, you’re all getting fit, I presume…

Why not get fit, log the miles or the time you work out and use your mileage or calories as a way to donate to Breast Cancer?

You’re saying, “Wait…What?”

1. Go sign up at BeeWell Miles .

2. All you have to do is log how far you walked, jogged, ran or enter the times you played or participated in any other activity every day between now and October 31st, 2009.

3. Bumble Bee Foods (you know, the people that bring you some of the best Albacore tuna out there!) will donate 15¢ for every mile you log to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength up to $200,000.

So, the more you walk, run, jog or get fit, the more you’ll help those who need help and need a cure for Breast Cancer quicker!

Why Do I Care?
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2006. She underwent 2 surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation and a preventative treatment for 1 yr after all of that.

So far, she is a 3 year cancer survivor – Praise God! That’s a real blessing.

However, we know a number of people, some even related to us, that were not so fortunate with Breast Cancer.

Many of you know I participate every year in some kind of Breast Cancer fundraiser…Now, you know why!

Please, while you’re already working out or even if you needed a good reason to get fit, let this be that reason.

Register, log your miles every day until the end of October, and let’s make a real difference to real people out there that need it!!!

I got myself a pedometer so that I could log all the miles I put in. You don’t really need one…You can even map your routes on BeeWellMiles.com for accurate distances you can log…

I only got to log 1.5 miles today, as I worked all day from home… But that will be changing very quickly!

You can also use the Bee Well Miles website to log your meals and calorie intake, interact with healthy living experts, and check out other guests/users and become friends and share tips.

Oh yeah, if that wasn’t enough, every day you log your miles or game codes from the pink cans of Bumble Bee Tuna you have, you could instantly win one of 15,000 prizes!!! Awesome!

This is a 3 Part Series – So, please be sure to check out Part #1 and Part #2 too!

I’ve Got Photos – Now What?
After you’ve got your photo-shopped photos back from your chosen photographer, start compiling packages to the agencies in your area…

Photo left: Kimberly Edwards – photo by Zdenka Micka – Make-Up & Hair by Kimberly Edwards – Oshawa, Ontario

Then, search for the top agencies in the Toronto (for Canadians) or the States, like Elite, Wilhelmina, etc. and send them a package each telling them you’d like to be a fitness/physique model.

Then, search specifically for fitness model agencies (they are out there) and send them some packages…You should send out between 25-50 packages at least to get some really good results and make a good decision on who to go with to represent you.

Network!
Then, go to places like BodyBuilding.com and ask around to the members to see what’s going on in the world of fitness and physique modeling and what they’re doing.

Looking to be more fit then you were in 2008? Let Bodybuilding.com provide everything from workout plans to nutritional supplements.

Get in touch with 3 of my FB friends who are really into all of this…Tell them you’re one of my readers here, and that I suggested them to you:

This is a 3 Part Series – So, please be sure to check out Part #1 and Part #3 too!

You’re In Shape – Now What?
Start looking in fitness and bodybuilding mags and pic out some shots you think are nice and would suit you.

Then, search for a really good photographer.

NOT JUST ANY PHOTOGRAPHER because it’ll cost you more in the long run if you go with a half-rate photographer that clicks 200 pictures in 20 minutes…This is not going to work!

Photo right: Kimberly Edwards – photo by Zdenka Micka – Make-Up & Hair by Kimberly Edwards – Oshawa, Ontario

The pics may cost you between $500-$1000 to get done. It would even be worth a plane ticket – round trip of $250 – to be sure you get a photographer that can make your photos look like the ones you chose from the magazines you’ve been researching!

For example, in the Toronto area: Zdenka Micka (choosy with who she will work with) or Ryan Thomas (I haven’t shot with as of yet, but like what I see) are great choices.

*** Be sure you told them Kimberly Edwards sent you – it will work in your favor! ***

You can even look at the credits in those fitness mags and see if you can’t contact one of those photographers and tell them how you like their work…See if they’d be willing to work with you, sending them a few photos of what you look like now…do the best you can with some digital body photos…
