Saturday Morning Spinning Sweat Sesh & Harbinger Fit Palm Grip [Winners!]

October 19, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Gooooodmorning everyone! How are we on this fine Saturday? It’s been a productive one over here! Got up early to take a spinning class this morning which I haven’t taken in such a long time! I missed it. I used to go once a week in college with a group of girlfriends and I forgot how much I really enjoyed it. It’s rare that I’m home on the weekends so I took advantage of it & got up early for class then ran all of my errands, stopped by Whole Foods, ate a HUUUGE stack of powercakes to refuel the bod, & made a delish coffee latté with coconut milk all before noon! Last … [Read more...]

Harbinger Fitness Palm Grip [GIVEAWAY]!

October 11, 2013 By Kasey 39 Comments

Happy Friday all! Every time I type that, I think, where has this week gone?! It’s crazy how time can fly, especially whenever you’re busy. I came across this quote by one of my favorites, Clinton Kelly, & it sums up my week perfectly. Do you ever feel like your to-do list is taking over and you feel stressed if you can’t do it all? Sometimes we have so much on our plates that we start doing things just to do them and not put in our 100% effort. I really like this quote because it reminds us to take a step back & take on each goal, no matter how big or small, with 100% … [Read more...]
