We’ve had a great summer. It’s been H.O.T. so most of the time there was some kind of water involved to keep us cool. And when there’s water, it’s a great idea to keep a GoPro camera close. Even better, let your kids be in control of the camera and enjoy some fun shots! Take a look at a few of our summer highlights…

A few week ago I published the GYM BAG ESSENTIALS video on Youtube → see it here! showing some staple items I love having with me to enhance my workouts. Now I’ll be going into more detail about some of my favorites!
LET’S SEE HOW ESSENTIAL OILS CAN ADD VALUE TO OUR GYM LIFE…
First favorite gym bag essential: DEODORANT!!! We should ALWAYS have it in our bag 🙂 hehe. I use to buy a travel size store brand to keep in my bag ‘just in case’, but why ever settle for that? Our DIY deodorant has coconut oil, and that can be scary to travel with so we just add more cocoa butter to thicken it up!! I really love this product. The ingredients we used were aluminum-free baking soda, arrowroot (or cornstarch), coconut oil, cocoa butter and desired essential oils. We used Lavender. For suggestions on other oils you can use, full recipe and video tutorial —» check this out! »»BUY NOW««
I’m also never far from my LIP BALM. I like to have this with me all the time and you absolutely will find it in my GYM BAG! Ingredients: beeswax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, peppermint and lavender essential oils. See full recipe and video tutorial here. »»BUY NOW««
Next, you will find me with doTERRA DEEP BLUE RUB to sooth those achey and tired joints and muscles. This topical cream is formulated with a proprietary blend of natural plant extracts and other powerful ingredients, including Deep Blue essential oil blend of wintergreen, camphor, peppermint, blue tansy, German chamomile, helichrysum, and osmanthus. For more information, click here.
Anyone who knows me knows I would have a good HAND SANITIZER close! We all know how dirty gyms can be. Even in a well maintained facility, blood, sweat and tears happen!!! In most gyms, hand sanitizer is readily available, but we know that these options are not always the best idea – read 5 Hidden Dangers of Hand Sanitizer here. By removing the ethyl alcohol (active ingredient in most brands) and the triclosan and replacing them with powerful antibacterial essential oils, we are able to destroy the yucky germs and protect the important good bacteria that helps build our immune system! So I love having my DIY Hand Sanitizer close! A simple mixture of Aloe Vera Juice, Witch Hazel, Vitamin E Oil and doTERRA’s On Guard essential oil blend makes for a safe, powerful and effective germ-killer! Check out the full recipe and video tutorial here! »»BUY NOW««
Ladies, how about a nice BODY SPRAY to use after the workout!! Simply add Distilled Water, Witch Hazel and Oil of choice (my favorite —» Lavender) to a small spray bottle and you’ve got yourself a long-lasting, chemical-free fragrance!
When we need to grab a quick shower in the locker room after the workout, have these shower essentials packed up and ready to use ↓ ↓ ↓

Today I’m giving you a peek inside my gym bag! I use the stuff in my bag to support and enhance my efforts in workout. I’m thankful to have a dad who had me in the gym starting at age 13 showing me proper form and gym etiquette. Over the years I’ve used lots of different equipment and products. Some were good and others… not so much. Now I’m almost 37 and in this time of trying and testing, I’ve found what works best for my body and my results. So if you are in a nosy mood hehe, come check out what’s in my gym bag!
Check out the links below for more information on MY favorite gym bag essentials…
I’M GETTING EMAILS ALMOST WEEKLY NOW ASKING IF I’M DOING A FITNESS RETREAT THIS YEAR… AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES!!!! SO I DO HAVE PEOPLE WANTING TO GET A TRIP TOGETHER. I NEED A FULL GROUP 8-10 TO BOOK THE TRIP. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED… READ ON ↓ ↓ ↓ AND PLEASE SHARE WITH ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO COULD USE A REFRESHING GETAWAY THAT JUMPSTARTS THEIR HEALTH AND FITNESS GOALS!
♥ THIS IS TRULY A LIFE CHANGING WEEK ♥
Jumpstart metabolism, cardiovascular fitness and muscle sculpting program with an intensive week spent at a beautiful, spacious beach house focusing on workouts, nutrition, relationships and team building.
My passion is walking with others, coaching and cheering them on as they find freedom so they are empowered to take every opportunity and live an extraordinary life.
Below is a general description of this 15 day plan.
After I have the group together, I personalize the fitness, food, and supplements for that specific group.
PHASE 1
10 DAYS LEADING UP TO THE RETREAT
Nutrition: 10 Day Cleanse. A gentle cleanse that allows you to keep your calendar!
PHASE 2
We will do a variety of different workouts and will use innovative equipment like Tye4® wearable resistance/assistance and HeadFloater™ to stretch, strengthen and improve postural muscles- both you will use on the trip and take home to continue using! The workouts will be created after I evaluate the group. I will write a personalized program to meet your needs and reach your goals!
A few of the classes that will be offered…
* Tye4 (Reformer) Pilates—» Pilates will sculpt the body by developing long, lean, balanced muscle. We will use Tye4 to provide much needed support for certain areas (like the neck and hip flexors) which, in turn, causes the proper muscles to work harder. It will also allow you to add resistance when necessary.
* Tye4 HIIT—» This is a Tabata style HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout that incorporates familiar exercises, but the Tye4 makes this much more effective: 1. Tye4 eliminates pounding and stress on the joints. Instead of creating wear and tear on the joints, you will actually build them stronger. 2. Your heart rate will be higher while using Tye4, therefore burning more calories.
We will be creative with our workouts and enjoy SUNRISE SESSIONS in the morning on the beach and SUNSET SESSIONS on this beautiful rooftop gym. People with specific needs will have separate workout sessions if necessary. This is PERSONAL TRAINING at it’s finest.
After our workouts, we will be sitting on the beach or around the pool taking in proper nutrition so our body can recover properly. Does it get any better than that? I’m thinking NO!
Supplements and Nutrition We will use the AdvoCare brand for our supplementation. AdvoCare has over 20 years of research and testimonies behind the products, has an alliance with Informed-Choice (3rd party company) to certify the products are banned-substance free, and has over 72 products so a personalized plan can be put in to place for each unique individual depending on their goals, needs, life-style and preference.
All included in the cost.

8 people minimum // Deposit: $6,000 to reserve house ($750 per person)

Wearing Tye4 while doing jump training is a smart idea. First, it allows you to jump against resistance, which〈oh my gosh〉makes it harder. LOTS and LOTS of muscle burn and isolation will occur = greater intensity. Second, it reduces stress on the joints! It’s like landing on a trampoline. This is great news for me considering I have “old knees” and “can’t do jump training anymore without causing terrible inflammation” I have yet to have an issue after training in the Tye4.
♥ FOR ME, TYE4 MEANS MOVEMENT FREEDOM ♥
HERE ARE THE EXERCISES I PERFORM IN THIS VIDEO…
JUMP SQUATS full movement – touch the ground, then reach as high as you can at the top while jumping. Don’t cheat here. Reach the arms high as your back lengthens while in the air. Modify: touch knees rather than the ground, and eliminate the jump part, just reaching up with the arms. This is still a great exercise!
JUMPING JACKS 3 variations
ROTATION JUMP 3 variations
SQUAT TRIPPLE TAP JUMP facing right → squat → tap ground 3x → jump turning to the left.
