Turn Your house into a Beach house.

Turn your home into a beach, mountain, or lake house, ( you get the idea) by collecting treasures you love and make you feel like you are in paradise every day, even if you're not. I'm lucky enough to live at the beach, my own personal paradise. But to be honest I spend a lot of time and money shopping for and purchasing "beach essentials". I love my found treasures don't get me wrong, the shells from Thailand, Guam, The Bahamas, even the ones out my front door are everyday reminders of a special place. I also redecorated my bedroom to feel like waking up in Costa Rica after a family vacation a few years ago. Still I have quite the purchased collection of coral, shells, sea fans, and sea/beach art that I've collected over the years, bringing my love, my husband would call it a sickness, of the times those thing represent. The point is to select the theme you love and incorporate your taste and talent to recreate your own personal paradise.

No time for your workout?

Hi Dolls! I don't mean to sound like a broken record but I'm hearing from more "Barbies" that EVERYTHING seems to be getting in the way of workouts with no end in sight for free time. Yesterday as I was talking to my Favorite Barbie - my mini me - our discussion was about her busy week ahead with work and work related travel leaving no time for anything else especially workouts. So here is the latest workout that is short "not so sweet" and to the point! Try to move quickly with little rest. If you need to break the sets that's OK, but challenge yourself just like you would if you were working out with me! xoxo

This workout can be done anywhere!

20 min cardio of your choice
Hamstring stretches

50 reps x 2
Squats (Sumo 1st set /plie' 2nd set)
Jumping Jacks
Mt. Climbers
Push-ups
Crunches ( 25 regular/25 jack knives)
Rest 45 seconds - RPT

Happy Friday Dolls!

Happy Friday Dolls! I hope everyone had a great week...As the weekend approaches and plans for fun are being made, make sure you add your workout onto that list. This week has throw me a few motivational challenges to keep my "Barbies" on track as their schedules seem to become more hectic by the hour. Being the divas we are we put everyone and everything ahead of our own wants and desires while anything less than perfection is unacceptable! Especially our appearance ! Come on be honest...we want to be HOT! Nothing wrong with that...however there is no quick fix or easy way out. Good old fashion hard work wins every time. You are worth the time and effort. It's a decision we make everyday....So, make that decision to work harder and faster, bigger and better, you'll feel better and you'll look better too! I'll be sending kickass suggestions on Monday! xoxo
