Everyone can expect KIM Kardashian to always step out in glammed up outfits that best show off her enviable womanly curves. And why wouldn’t she, especially with the amount of effort that she puts into keeping in shape?

With such a fast-paced lifestyle, a Hollywood celebrity like KIM Kardashian who was first seen as PARIS HILTON'S sidekick after NICOLE RICHIE and who made it big in the reality television show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” on E! can definitely make use of all the help that she can get to simplify her fitness routine – something that a lot of women can relate to.

This special line of shoes is geared towards providing women and men with the workout that they need – but have no time (or motivation) for. As the new spokeswoman for SKECHERS SHAPE-UPS, KIM Kardashian is now able to show people how easy it is to develop their very own fitness routine that works, use Shape Ups and walk!

KIM KARDASHIAN BEACH BODY FITNESS POSTER POSTED at Cebu Events Blog

People love being barefoot because it creates a connection with nature and what they’re doing.  But, since most people aren’t willing to walk to work, hike a trail or ride a bike completely barefoot and since most restaurants and shops won’t let you in completely barefoot, this new collection is ideal for people who are looking for that connection. Remember the scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts makes Richard Gere take his shoes off and walk around in the grass?
MERELL® is proud to announce a new partnership with Vibram®; exclusively collaborating to introduce a complete Barefoot Collection of shoes in the outdoor category. 
Basically, we’re putting together a collection of minimalist, lightweight, versatile and efficient footwear that will be available in the Philippines Summer Months-April 2011 with an entire category of barefoot shoes that lets your feet lead you into your outdoor passion of choice.


Health Benefits with MERRELL BAREFOOT Collection.
A lot of people aren’t sure what the hoopla surrounding barefoot running and activity is all about. Think of it this way - these new shoes will help create a more natural stride by moving you away from the heel and encouraging forward momentum, where you land at mid foot.  This all makes for lower impact, and a more aligned and efficient gait. AND you get some health benefits wrapped in there.
Because most people are so used to walking/running/moving with their heel striking first, this design will stimulate different muscles, helping to strengthen your core and agility.  The whole idea that what you put on your feet - be it to hike, bike, run, walk the dog or just grab a coffee - can help improve your health and body is pretty awesome.
All Collection is super lightweight and versatile shoes that can take you from the trail to walking around town. All which follow Merrell’s belief of Performance Made Beautiful.  Because we believe that shoes can fit incredibly well AND look good at the same time.

As early as now, I am thinking of probable Beach Resorts that can cater our needs on terms of satisfaction and fun for Summer. Giving value for accomodation and service, these would determine an exact location for you dreamed vacation and beach exploration. Another factor that could contribute to these is the location and accesibility of these beach resort that would not make you exhausted due large amount time to invest in trasnportation especially land travels. All in all, these are tested factors to determine what beach resort is ideal for me.

I have been to lots of Beaches and Resorts of Cebu and in nearby Islands. Not to mention their remote locations from the urban. The travel could make you stressed all out that when you arrived at the location of the resort and you found out that it is very super-crowded and accumulated already with noise polution. Poor lad, it could be so deterring.But lately, I have to share these, My recent trip to Cebu's Tip Far South-East Coast remote to Dumaguete and Panglao of Bohol. This serene Hisctoric-RIch Island of Sumilon (in Bisaya, Sumilong which means to hide or take shade) is 125 kilometer from Cebu City and a Sanctuary by nature. The island take significane during early Cebuano Indeavors against invaders. An evidence is the lighthouse that until now standing in the island leaping a far sight to foresee the invaders.
Owned and Managed by Almont Holdings Incorporated (AHI) Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort lies proud at the crystal clear waters and varying aquamarine hues in southeastern seas of Cebu. Greg Perral, Sumilon Bluewater's Resident Manager talk about their Sumptuous food offrers is provided by their in-house Island-kitchen managed by Chef de Partie Buddy Amodia.Sumilon Bluewater is the sister resort of Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort. These two resorts shares a common lineament that both offers relaxing and calm vacation with Filipino-enriched culture of hospitality and warmth. Maribago Bluewater is located at Mactan Island more or less a 3 kilometer ride from Mactan Cebu Unternationa International Airport. Take time to glimpse of both resorts at Sumilon Bluewater Blog, Sumilon Bluewater Video(tbp) and Maribago Bluewater Cebu Video and Maribago Bluewater's PR Pinoyworld.

This is Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort's Beach front taken last May before my Summer closes and be preoccupied with work and study. Maribago Bluewater Cebu is simply a way to embrace the charm to Island living and to give gift to your self to experience comtemporary way of living. The Maribago Bluewater Video speaks a lot about it from Leisure Activities, Relaxing Amuma Spa, Filipino Culture Enriched hospitality, resort tradition and Food. These was savoured with my last visit to Maribago Bluewater Cebu.
