On the Move .... with Me, Myself & I Teens!!!

If you have noticed Project P.I.N.K has been on the move A LOT lately. We are working diligently to spread the word out about our organization and preparing  for the launching of the interactive site. We are getting ACTIVE and getting "out". We are receiving tremendous feedback and partnering with other non-profit organizations to obtain our goal:

• Empower young women to make positive decisions
• Motivate social change
• Help young women appreciate their own experiences
• Encourage young women to become next generation leaders
• Paint positive images of success

This weekend, we had the pleasure of working with Me, Myself & Teens at their 3rd Annual Teen Girl Seminar. This was an exclusive workshop and panel discussion on teen-related topics with some of Detroit’s inspiring young women. The event included a beauty workshop, etiquette training and a special nail bar.

Me, Myself and I are a non-profit 501(C) status under Soaring Eagles Alternative. MMIT believes that every girl is a beautiful flower waiting to blow beautifully both inside and out. Their mission is to maximize self development and inspiration that will lead to making better life choices in order for her to realize her full potential. They are committed to taking back responsibilities for our girl’s by helping them to choose the right path and pushing the importance of what it means to be true to you.

 The event was a true delight! We truly enjoyed the activities, speakers and panel MYSELF. It was a positive aura and an encouraging message for the young women. To be honest, it was also a self-esteem booster for me and a self-esteem booster.  We are looking forward to attend MMIT Teen Girl Seminar for years to come.

On the Move!!!

As the worldwide web & social networks become extremely popular, video games, iPads, cell phones ALL trump an old school games of tag, a walk in the park or a bike ride. Technology has found a way of keeping us (and our children) in house not staying physically fit as necessary. As parent, role models and community leaders is it imperative that we keep our children FIT, ACTIVE  & healthy! Outdoor games, basketball, gym, karate and dance lessons are all examples of ways to keep our children fit.

This weekend, Project P.I.N.K started with the mothers by participating in a fun & flirty workshop at the Vixen Fitness Downtown Studio. Volunteers and Project P.I.N.K supporters donated their time to mix & mingle and join us in an interesting workout session ....

At the Vixen Fitness Studio, we participated in a pole dancing workshop that was quite intriguing. Danielle Green, the owner of VF, was our instructor and did an excellent job in getting supporters comfortable! While volunteers were a bit apprehensive, the pole fitness course was quite the delight and volunteers were MORE THAN PLEASED. Danielle and VF opened our eyes to something new and we look forward to returning to Vixen Fitness really soon =)

More About Pole Fitness:

Today, pole dancing itself is considered both a sport and skill. It incorporates gymnastic, ballet, and modern dance movements around a polished pole. There are 3 main styles of pole dancing. These three styles of dance consist of exotic dance, empowerment and pole fitness.

Many women take advantage of pole dancing classes to stay physically fit, boost confidence and to increase flexibility. Many women also experience empowerment though practicing the art of pole dancing. It can provide emotional benefits like an increased feeling of self-confidence and provide an overall feeling of well being. It cane you feel stronger, taller and confident.

Pole dancing is now a recognized form of exercise that man women enjoy! It is used as an aerobic workout for both strength and toning. Participants can expect toning from head to toe and an increase muscle definition all over especially in the arms, thighs and buttocks.  For those interested, a good session can burn up to 400 calories in an hour.

By taking these classes you will not only improve your physical levels, but also your emotional state. There is evidence to suggest pole dancing and fitness can have an effect on psychological processes as well as physical ones. It is known that physical exertion has a positive effect on the sensory areas of the brain, causing it to release endorphins and serotonin. These hormones give you feelings of happiness and some feelings of euphoria.

PS. This type of workout is ONLY suggested for those 18 and older!

Our Confession .... featuring Mia Ray

As you may know Project P.I.N.K will offer a “Fashion Corner” on our site. The fashion area came as requested and is one of the most fascinating areas of the site. In this section, we will assist with providing latest trends, discounts and savings for young women interested. We also use this as tool to communicate different clothing styles, eg: dressing for success, business/casual attire, job interview attire and holiday wear for teens!

From my personal experience, FASHION was something I didn’t encounter until much after high school. I always LOVED bright colors, EYE shadow, pink polish, heels, skirts and leather, but MATCHING, not so much!  As an adult, I later found how exciting and stress relieving shopping could be and I LOVE IT! It grew to be my 2^nd favorite past time. From malls, online, outlet, friend’s closet and recently thrift store, I just have to SHOP… (as for most girls do). While shopping is my thing, so is BUDGETING! I found that there were ways to still shop and stay afloat with life’s needs vs. wants. For example, shopping clearance, coupon clipping, web specials and bloggers have introduced me to SUPER SAVINGS!

 

Project P.I.N.K’s ALL-TIME favorite fashion blogger and a true inspiration is Miss Mia Ray of Confessions of a Glamaholic, who we were so excited to meet formally this weekend at #EngageDetroitNOW. Mia is such a breath of fresh air and HIGH ENERGY! She is positive, focused and driven. We love everything about her! We look forward to the Glamaholics weekly postings and most recntly DAILY.
