NYC Under Armour Weekend Recap Day [ONE] & 9/11 Memorial Tour.

November 11, 2013 By Kasey 4 Comments

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great start to your week. I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all of our Veterans out there for their service & those who are currently serving. Both of my Grandpa’s have served & I know many others who have done the same. It is truly an honorable decision to make & something that I admire. As I woke up this morning after getting back from an amazing weekend at NYC, I couldn’t think of a better day to share about our 9/11 tour that we took on Friday. With all of the information I learned & stories I heard still fresh in my … [Read more...]

Wait, it’s only a Tuesday!?

September 18, 2013 By Kasey 8 Comments

Even though the title says Tuesday, happy Wednesday everyone! Yesterday turned out to be an epic day & I kept asking, it’s only just a Tuesday? Meaning, it felt like a fun weekend day filled with teaching, a workout, starbucks, & dinner date all with my bittie Sarah. My class went great at GNC & everyone worked so hard! It’s always a bit scary going into a new situation but you just have to be confident in your abilities to help & teach others and once the class came in my adrenaline started pumping and before you know it I was running around the room cheering everyone … [Read more...]

August 2, 2013 By Kasey 4 Comments

Happy Friday Feature everyone! I hope you had a great week! I first wanted to shout out to everyone who has been e-mailing me in response to my post “Checking myself before wrecking myself.” The fact that you all can be so honest with me and feel that you can share so many details with me makes me so appreciative of you. I try my best to give advice to help you & the fact that I look back now and see how nervous I was to share my personal story but then seeing how much inspiration came from it makes it all worthwhile. Sometimes my Universe Know’s mug & tea bags know exactly … [Read more...]

Hi all! Hope you’re having a great Tuesday & you got to check out the Motivational Monday post from yesterday! It’s always nice to know that we’re not alone in our worries & can relate to one another. Today I wanted to share with you a new recipe that I created thanks to my friends from Growing Natural’s who sent me their Pea Protein Powder to try out & review! A key feature of this protein powder is that it has excellent digestibility which means less of a chance of bloating symptoms and is easy to digest. I also liked that it was sweetened with coconut sugar & … [Read more...]

Blogger meet-up recap & Peanut Butter Pumpkin Plantain Powercake!

July 1, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Say that Blog post title 3 times fast Before we get to that delicious recipe, I wanted to recap my dinner meet-up last night with my girl Alexis from FitPossible! It’s such a small world; Alexis actually lived down the street from me until she was 3 years old and then moved to Florida. We eventually got in touch via our blogs & couldn’t wait to finally “meet” in person when she came home to visit this week! Before meeting at Mad Mex Restaurant, I hit up Trader Joes which happens to be right down the street from there! *Picked up some veggies, fruit, basil, rosemary, dried … [Read more...]
