Not only does this event promote a wonderful cause, but it raises proceeds for Alzheimer's Dementia Resource Foundation too! If you love promoting fashion and a good cause, then I'll see you in your best on Saturday, June 2 at I-Drive! For more information and pre-sale tickets click here. 

Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday.

Bikini Time!

Summer is here in full throttle. This means every day is a beach day! Especially since Orlando only gets hit with rain clouds late at night nowadays. Even at the beach, some fashion must be considered. But first, are you bikini ready?

For some amazing and simple home workouts check out the videos on Tone It Up! 15 minutes a day-- that's all it takes. If you have more time, go for a light jog, bike ride or brisk walk with a friend.

Besides keeping fit, focus on what you're eating in the morning. Recently, my roommate concocted this delicious GREEN breakfast smoothie. It's filled with protein and nutrients and has a lot more flavor than a bowl of cereal. Takes only a few minutes to make and you can take it with you on your way to work or school. 

Peanut Butter Banana Green Smoothie
makes 1 smoothie

1 banana
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
3 cups of baby spinach
3-4 ice cubes (optional)

 Put the banana and peanut butter into the blender and puree until smooth.  Then, 1 cup at a time, add the spinach, each time blending until smooth.  Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula between blends and add a tablespoon or so of water if you need to get the spinach blending.  Then add the ice cubes, if using, and pulse until smooth.

**If you want to mix it up a bit day to day, add varieties of fruit or vegetables. Add whey protein!**

With a breakfast smoothie and simple daily workout, you'll be bikini ready in no time!

What to wear to fun outdoorsy events: fun, flowy attire that you can wear from one event to the next. 

• Change your shoes from flats to heels and it's a whole new outfit. 
• A cardigan to a blazer. 
• "arm party" (tons and tons of bracelets) to a single pearl one
