Smirnoff Sorbet Light Summer Cocktails
First wine, and then cocktails! [Head’s up: this post is sponsored by Smirnoff Sorbet Light. I was compensated for my participation, but would have loved to try the new flavors either way, especially since they don’t contain artificial colors or fake/added sweeteners. Of course, all opinions are my own, and I believe that if you…

Wild cat + BSC giveaway
As you can probably imagine (or if you live here, you know!) in Arizona, we have some pretty interesting creatures. My favorite are the javelinas, my least favorite are the coyotes (sorry coyotes, but no love for you when you attack my family’s dog) cougars, snakes, scorpions, road runners to name a few… and feral cats.…

Sneaks for me, sneaks for youuuuu
The stairs and I are not friends today. Spinning gets me EVERY time! So good. Since the Pilot was home yesterday, I was able to take a daytime class, so I went into work for 10 minutes of weights and 45-minute spin. My friend Katie taught, and her playlist was amazing. I especially love the…

Review of Zuzana’s ZCUT Power Cardio DVDs
I think we’re all in agreement that I have a girl crush on Zuzana. (photo source) She has a soft-spoken, kind and approachable demeanor, and at the same time, creates these crazy intense workouts that leave me shaking in a pool of sweat. How can someone so nice make my muscles cry so effectively? Oh,…

Functional, stylish workout gear from Old Navy
When you look at the workout pants/shorts area of my closet, you’ll see a common theme: black stretchy. I wear lots and lots of black stretchy pants. For Zumba, I’ll clown it up with as many neon color combos and patterns as I can find (if it has the Zumba logo on it, it matches,…

CR Cuisine and Amenities
After a weekend of picturesque views, healthy culinary delights, being pampered and learning (new fitness and health techniques, and also about myself) it’s time to head back to the land of cacti. Before I get back in the swing of life, I wanted to take a post to talk about all of the amazing food…

This is a sponsored post from Blue Diamond Almonds. Sponsored posts are a rarity around here, as I only accept product reviews and sponsored posts from brands I’m truly passionate about. Even though I was compensated to write this post, as always all opinions are my own. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ I’m always a little groggy in the…
Read More →Sock lopsided
Today was a great day, but I think the fact that I forgot a sock gave it a strange feel. While you’re teaching multiple fitness classes, it’s hard to forget that you’re only wearing one sock with your shoes. Didn’t feel very good. This did, though 😉 (coming home to snuggle my favorite girl) And…

Review: Advanced TurboFire DVDs
As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of “the fiyah.” I just love workouts that can be done at home with minimal space and equipment- I’m always looking for ways to spice up my at-home fitness routine. Some faves are: Zuzana ZWOW workouts (I used to LOVE BodyRock, but since she left I’m not…

Sometimes it feels so good to hang around the house in jammies and do nothing. Since the Pilot was off work yesterday, I was happy to celebrate a slow day with him 🙂 He let me sleep in and then I took care of Livi while he took a long morning nap. Around 12, we…

Oh spin bike, we meet again. Thanks for the booty-kicking. I appreciate that. We got new spin bikes at work, and WHOA, they are amazing. I love the fact that the screen shows wattage (power), cadence, heart rate, distance and time. (The bottom left button enables you to create a “stage” that will track your…
