I've been hearing a ton about a cute hole in the wall flower shop in the Mission District in San Francisco called Ampersand. Today I had the opportunity to check it out with my friend Shannon.

One of my favorite parts about living in San Francisco is how close it is to wine country. My friend Jenn had her birthday weekend in Healdsberg and invited some of her favorite girls. It was the perfect weekend to get together, relax a bit and drink some wine.
Yesterday was the day! We celebrated the launch of my new website and I had the best time hanging out with my closest friends and family. I couldn't have gotten to this place without all of of them always supporting me and encouraging me to follow my dreams.
The Mission District in San Francisco is so fun to roam around. I found an amazing juice shop called Project juice that has really yummy drinks. Their location on Valencia Street is extra special, because they serve acai bowls.

Right now, I am full-blown obsessed with bronze/gold/brass and I have found some seriously to die for pieces that I couldn't wait to share with you.
Do you have friends who live all over like me? Not all of my friends live in San Francisco and I can't always show them how much I love them over the phone or by texting. I love giving gifts and I have some apps that are my go-to's to send a little love to my gal pals.
Tis' the season for friends and family. Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorite holidays, because FOOD and family. I always love to bring a small dish to share and this year is no different. Here are some of my go-to dish's that have been a hit with my friends and family

Think about it. We check our Facebook, email, Twitter, Snapchat, instagram, and every other form of social media constantly throughout the day. The people we follow give us little reminders through their posts of our interests and take up space in our minds. Who are you filling that space with? We choose who we follow!
San Francisco has so many cute cafe's, restaurants, and local shops to try out it can be tough to choose where to go. Last weekend I checked out Chantal Guillon, the perfect place for coffee and a sweet snack.
The précis of me writing this post is so that maybe just a few people can step away from reading this with a different mindset of what it takes to be a personal trainer. If you're a trainer you already know...
The weather here in California has been beautiful the last few weeks, which has inspired me to take my workouts outdoors. I've been hiking, going on long walks to the Golden Gate Bridge, playing volleyball at the park, & doing circuits like the one below. Try taking your workout somewhere new this week!
I have green smoothies most days. I never get tired of making new combinations of greens and my favorite fruits. I just grabbed some groceries and was super excited to see organic frozen figs at Trader Joes.
Chia pudding is all the rave right now. Not only is it tasty, but it's healthy & is super easy to make! I love it sooo much and make them in bulk. I usually have it in my refrigerator most weeks as my go-to snack or dessert.
