Good morning, friends! Apparently, beauty-related things really take it out of me because I was EXHAUSTED yesterday after all that dress shopping and planning! I took an extra rest day to just basically

Hi friends! This isn't a fitness post, but it's a FUN post for me! I'm super excited and wanted to share with you guys! My mom is in town, and instead of hitting the gym today we're going to be doing lots

Good morning, everyone! I must apologize for being off the grid for the last few days - we were visiting our families and hanging out all together so we could get some wedding planning done :) it went

Who says asparagus isn't a breakfast food?? It's no secret that adding a ton of veggies to your diet is a healthy habit for a variety of reasons... Low-calorie, fiber and nutrient packed vegetables of

Friends, I want you to get the most out of your workouts. In this case, I want to talk briefly about lifting - I think it's such a wonderful part of any healthy lifestyle program and would encourage basically

Although you wouldn't really know it by the weather (I spent the afternoon lying out at the beach on Monday while Chris surfed), technically fall has arrived in Santa Barbara :) Yes, maybe it's a few degrees

All this talk of wedding stuff has got me thinking... Every bride (and probably lots of grooms) want to get into shape for their wedding, right? Same. Although I am typically fairly content with my level
