Well, life is crazy. If you don’t take time to slow down and prioritize things, you’ll be like me and realize you need to post 2 weeks in the same blog post. I am thinking though that I might do that moving forward, highlighting two weeks at a time. I’ve […]

Well, it’s Friday, but I am realizing that it’s better late than never for my Wellness Update for Week 4. If you’ve seen my IG, you know that my life for the past two weeks have been a little crazy with two separate trips to California, a concert, a Gals […]

Week three has come to an end. They really seem to be going by pretty quickly, probably because my schedule is a little busier fitting in almost an hour long workout pretty much everyday! I’ve also, to my shock and surprise, become a morning person. Dun dun dun… Seriously, even […]

Week Two of the #BarreLifeChallenge has come and gone so it’s time for my next Weekly Wellness update! It’s always crazy to me how fast the time goes, but it definitely feels like the first two weeks of the challenge flew by. My results for the second week, though I […]
