Hello All,

See our beautiful new website www.bellacize.com and click on Charm... for more details and stay tuned for The Charm School 8 Week Course (1.5 hours per week) you will be a new woman after you complete it!

Christine's Charm Tips for Easter...

1. Nothing is nicer to arrive at your desk at this time with an Easter Egg sparkling away on your keyboard... Make sure you attach a sticky note (pink if you have it) on the space bar simply saying in your best handwriting "Have a safe and Happy Easter and sign your name". People LOVE and appreciate such kind and thoughtful gestures and the right people will remember it. It shows you are considerate, caring and ofcourse charming! Do remember though not to leave anyone out...especially the juniors and mailroom. Try it and reap the rewards....

2. When setting the table this Easter; put some love into it....tv is saturated with cooking shows and how important intricate cooking is ....instead this Easter create an atmosphere and entertain with charm rather than stressing to create a gourmet meal. People remember feelings and atmosphere a lot longer than taste buds remember intricate recipes. And hey who doesn't love a simple roast! Christine has some amazing tips and ideas in her entertaining section of The Charm School course.

3. The weather is getting colder and we now need to cover those legs! The leggins and pumps look is still okay this Autumn - however get really stylish and choose a chic pair of stockings instead! Dark stockings with long up and down patterns are most flattering and look beautiful with a pair of classic dark stillettos. Make sure your shoes are darker than your stockings. I was given a gorgeous winter weight pair for Easter instead of chocolate purchased from www.myitaliancloset.com.au they were expensive at $60 but they are gorgeous and made in Italy and I LOVE them. Australian designers; Alannah Hill & Leona Edminston also have beautiful stockings.

4. Bring back the scarf! Not the big winter woolly yet! Go an elegant silk, chiffon or cashmere. The trick to the scarf is getting the colour right as it is instrumental to your look and a must have this autumn. If you get the colour right it will brighten your face and do wonders for you not to mention look really stylish and elegant. Infact you can get away with fashion murder if you have a brilliant scarf to elegantly throw over it all! However if you get the wrong colour scarf it can make you look and feel plain dowdy and drab. Christine does colour and style analysis during the course so you'll always know your colour.

5. Last this Easter when you are invited to a BBQ or Fish-A-Q always ask the host what you can bring. If they say nothing, ensure you take a token bottle of wine and box of chocolates, easter egg or even a bunch of flowers from your garden for the Host. Never go anywhere empty handed!

DANCE CLASSES

Remember no matter what exercise you choose, ensure you enjoy it otherwise you won't stick to it. We've all purchased a piece of exercise equipment that has only gathered dust or paid for a gym membership and forgotten about it. So if you love to dance, choose it as your exercise and sign up for a term! For the Bellacize Class you'll need some leggins, a cool top, a pretty shimmy scarf and bare feet. The shimmies are fabulous for cellulite and get the endorphins firing and they dynamic music will have you feeling like Shakira or Beyonce in no time. Important to wear your shimmy skirt at home too and shimmy around the house with some hot music on....excellent for fat burning and lots of fun..

We have fabulous dance for fitness classes full of Bellydance, Bollywood, Bootilicious & Burlesque at Melbourne Gyms and we are due to get more classes going so see the classes page to get an update

Christine wears the new Bellacize Diamond Singlet. Christine chose the material herself to ensure it's firm fitting and moulds to the body in just the right spots and just had to be flattering after just having a baby! The singlet is $40 and available in sizes 8, 10, 12 & 14.
The Deluxe Scarf is gorgeous and unique to the Bellacize brand. It's full of detail, sequins and sparkles and always stands out in any class.

PERSONAL

Last thanks for all the well wishes over the past year from my past students and customers. I've had a wonderful year off in 2009 enjoying my baby girl.

I'm looking forward to returning to work too and hopefully having you in my new Charm School classes, ofcourse we'll have to throw in some dance one night too!

Here's my beautiful Isabella - yes a bellydancer in training (I hope)...
