Moving Mountains together with Heather Waxman. [Weekend Recap!]

October 9, 2013 By Kasey 16 Comments

Hi all! I hope you’re having a great week. It’s HUMP DAY! Anyway, last night I had to say see you later to my girl Heather. We always laugh that we could literally be the best roommates because we are just chill & do our thing in sync. It was so nice to have her here & my family was bummed to see her go! I can’t even begin to explain to you the gift that this girl has. She started her journey as a food/fitness blogger whenever we first “met” but then as our relationship grew, I watched her spirituality & intuition grow to eventually be her career. We both are at the point … [Read more...]

FitFluential [Muscle Rope] Workout Video!

September 23, 2013 By Kasey 6 Comments

Hi all! As most of you know, I’ve had the chance to review Muscle Ropes with a sponsored campaign through FitFluential! I love utilizing ropes in my workout and I think they can be a great addition to your fitness routine. With that being said, the personal trainer side in me is telling me to tell you to make sure you properly warm up before you start & have a good understanding of the exercises you are going to perform! The ropes take good coordination so go through a few moves to feel comfortable before getting into a full out workout! Okay, now that you are all warmed up, safe, … [Read more...]

Hi all! I wanted to start off by posting one of my favorite pictures that I found on the 4th of July & take a moment to remember all of those who were effected on this day 12 years ago. [Elizabeth Panko Photography] I don’t think I’ll ever forget exactly where I was when the events of 9/11 took place. I was sitting in my 6th grade home room with so many thoughts running through my mind. Today I am thankful for my freedom, family, friends, & the love that we all share. ------------------------------------ Some recent #POWERBOWL highlights: [Stuffed squash with cottage … [Read more...]

Happy Sunday everyone! I first wanted to say thank you to Jen for being so honest and open with her story on the past two posts. “Life’s Most Thrilling Roller Coaster: Ourselves.” [Part ONE] & [Part TWO].

Switching gears into some recent updates, food, & fitness – last night I spent the evening cheering on one of my best friends, Courtney, as she shined on stage at a local show!

Jen’s Anniversary of kicking a habit while kick starting her life.

June 28, 2013 By Kasey 16 Comments

Hey all! Happy Friday! As many of you know, I am working on the #whatsbeautiful campaign with FitFluential & Under Armour Women. Throughout this campaign, I have not only been inspired & motivated by some of the most amazing women out there, but I have realized how many beautiful moments people in my own life are having. Last weekend, during my day/night day with my boy, we ran into my girl Jen while we were out to dinner. It completely made my day, not only because she gives the MOST AMAZING HUGS EVER, but just being around her inspires me to reach my goals. If you don’t know … [Read more...]
