Friday Favorites & Butternut Squash Steak Fries [Recipe!]

December 7, 2013 By Kasey 2 Comments

hi all! HAPPY FRIDAY! So funny story for ya – I actually finished this post at 1pm this afternoon….but apparently my new iPad didn’t mix with my emoji I added to my post and didn’t post anything after my first paragraph….welp, what a way to start a Friday! haha Good thing is – I don’t really forget my thoughts that often (although Corey may say otherwise) SO you will still read the same content I posted 5 hours ago – just rewritten! (and now I can do a wink face since I’m on my home computer) even though I am absolutely loving my new tablet! The Holiday’s came a bit … [Read more...]

TMI Thursday & Sweet/Savory Roasted Carrots!

November 21, 2013 By Kasey 4 Comments

hi all! Happy Thursday! Yet again, I am hanging at starbs before 8am with the usual crowd here. Got my early 6am spin class in along with some hamstring work. Not that spin isn’t enough of a workout – cause it is – I just like to add some strength in on the days I work my legs with spin so I don’t crush my legs like 4 days a week. If I added in “leg days” to the other days – my legs may not be too happy with me. SO it works for me! Today I did some deadlifts, hamstring curls, glute kickbacks, & bridges after class then spent a good 20 minutes on the foam roller. Today … [Read more...]

Weekend Recap [10/15] & #POWERMONDAYMOVES Challenge!

November 18, 2013 By Kasey 9 Comments

Hi all! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I have to say, I took a little blog break over the weekend to spend time with the boy & his family since it’s been about a month since I saw him due to being a busy traveling girl! It’s so nice to have his support through everything I do. He lives about an hour and a half away from me and he’s finishing up grad school right now so whenever we can plan a weekend – we really try to disconnect for a little from our phones & computers – which I think is totally a part of a healthy mind! With that being said – doesn’t mean I … [Read more...]

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.

South Carolina Road trip & Family Lovin’

November 6, 2013 By Kasey 18 Comments

Hiiiii everyone! These last couple of weeks have definitely been jam packed with traveling! I am definitely not complaining because the opportunities have been amazing, but it’s also nice to have a few days of down time this week before we head out again. I see youuu Down time = sleeping for 10 hours last night (my body needed it), shoulder workout, grocery shopping, laundry, & now finally settling in for a few computer work hours at my favorite coffee shop with a coconut milk cinnamon latte keeping me warm on this beautiful fall day. A positive about being home for a few days is … [Read more...]

Good morning all!! How are you!? I am now home sweet home after one jam packed but amazing few days. I am not going to lie, it was not easy waking up this morning (a bit confused as to what time it is still) but I’ve got a class to teach today before I can get a power nap in! Traveling can really take some energy out of you but when I recap back to my last few days, I couldn’t be more thankful for these opportunities. I wanted to kickoff my recap & throwback to last Thursday where I had such an amazing time that morning at the Under Armour #WhatsBeautiful event at a local Dick's … [Read more...]

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!

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...]

ahhh it’s Friday already!? Where has this week gone!? I swear it was just Monday. Ever have a week just fly by so fast you feel like you can’t keep up? That’s me this week. I feel like my to-do list hasn’t budged even though I’ve been non-stop all week! Maybe it’s because we were traveling Sunday back from Baltimore & I didn’t get that “prep” day like I usually do. BUT I am absolutely not complaining because the trip was great, even if I’m just getting around to posting about it almost a week later!
