Booty Work – Booty Work – Booty Booty Booty Work!!

There must be something in the air because lately, everywhere I go I’m hearing women discussing the topic of shaping up their derrieres! Some have approached me to inquire about what they should be doing, why they just can’t get that thing lifted, what are my favorite glute exercises, etc. Frankly, I can’t think of a better topic to discuss! The idea of a firm, lifted, tight butt seems to be the object of every woman’s desires and I’m no exception! To answer these questions, I think we need to take a trip back in time to high school anatomy class and get back to basics. Read more

TOTAL BIKINI BOD WORKOUT

So, here’s the dilemma… Sunday I leave for Siesta Key for a family wedding and get this – my resort doesn’t have a gym! (*Ahhh panicking!*Determined, I set out to invent a workout that I could do right in my room, on the balcony, or on the beach. The workout you’re about to read is intense. It can be done with or without dumbbells, and you can also use a resistance band. And if you’re wondering if I’m actually going to go through the hassle of packing dumbbells or a resistance band in my suitcase, the answer is yes. Yes, I most certainly am. Anyway, here is what I came up with:

Overcome Your Fitness Plateau

20140512-113107.jpg

In honor of “Transformation Tuesday”, I elected to examine the fitness progress I’ve made just within the past year. I was anticipating the visual comparison since I haven’t lost any weight and my problem areas still bother me. However, I knew I had been doing some things differently to prevail over my plateau so my curiosity was peaked. The fact of the matter is that I’ve always been very fit. Fitness has always been a top priority and if you asked anyone this time last year, I’m sure they would’ve considered me a “fit” girl. I worked out almost every day and was in good shape. (Especially considering I sit at a desk for a living) Boy, am I glad I didn’t settle for mediocrity. Just in the past year, my thighs and buns have tightened up significantly, my abs are more defined, I have increased strength and endurance, and overall everything is more lifted and firm. The most exciting part is knowing I will be in even better shape next year! Here is my advice if you are struggling with a fitness plateau: Read more

Virgin Blogger

Well, I did it. I finally started my lifestyle blog. Aside from the desperate need to escape all of the drama and stupidity associated with that little thing called Facebook, I wanted to start a blog to share some of the knowledge I’ve picked up over the years. Because you know, like most women, when I’m right- I’m right. And when it comes to Fitness, Health, Beauty, and Lifestyle tips, I’m always right. Right? Mhmmmm smile and nod! 😉

But in all seriousness, the truth of the matter is that with the modern woman’s busy schedule in today’s society, it’s hard to juggle a career, family, social life, and stay mentally and physically healthy, fit and glamorous! Hell it’s hard enough trying to find time to wash our hair! But on top of that, we’re supposed to find healthy food alternatives, maintain impossibly youthful radiant skin, have perfect hair, get enough sleep, and find time to exercise enough so that our asses don’t hit the ground! Let’s face it ladies, we’re not getting any younger!

That’s why I decided to share some of my tricks of the trade with all of the fellow busy modern women out there.

First, let me give you a little background about yours truly:

My 8-5 career is in Marketing & Client Services for the largest Commercial Real Estate Company in the world, so I understand the pressures of a demanding job. I commute roughly 3 hours a day total, so I understand the “lack of free time” problem that a lot of people face. I’m a huge animal lover, which resulted in my choice to go vegan in 2011 and I’ve never looked back. I’m also learning more and more every day about the health benefits of that choice. My passion is Fitness (working out 6-7 days a week), and I’m always looking for the latest craze in the way of Beauty Products.

The goal of this blog is to post my latest beauty finds, since sadly the Fountain of Youth isn’t a real thing *sigh* … Share some of my delicious vegan recipes, and update all of the fitness enthusiasts out there with the best health and fitness tips to stay forever fab!

Follow me and receive all of my latest updates!

Until next time!
