Link Love + Valentine’s Givewaways

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my beautiful, loving and generally amazing readers.

(source)

My Valentine’s Day has consisted of training four clients, working and eating a peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie before 10 a.m. Part two will involve running and teaching BodyPump…to all five people who show up at class…and most likely more cookies. 😉

Since I don’t have much to report (I haven’t even taken pictures of anything I’ve eaten today), I thought I would spread the love and link to some websites, blogs and posts that I have enjoyed lately. I’m also offering two giveaways so read on!

Yoga DorkI love this blog that is smartly written, often humorous and frequently educational. It  covers everything yoga related from a news, lifestyle and pop culture perspective. Recent favorite posts have been Yoga With A Broken Heartthis interview with Adam Levine about his yoga practice and Yoga Class Playlists are the New MTV.

 

Danielle Laporte – I was first introduced to Danielle Laporte through her Credo For Making It Happen video. Then I read The Firestarter Sessions and basically started stalking her via every social media channel possible – her blog, facebook, e-mail updates, Twitter and Pinterest. I recommend you do the same. And if you haven’t read The Firestarter Sessions DO IT NOW. Especially if you are at a point in your life where you feel stuck, you’re wondering what path to take, asking yourself what’s next or just need a general kick in the ass and some inspiration.

In fact, I want you to read it so badly that I’m going to give away a copy via Audible.com because listening to Danielle read it to you is just that much more powerful. Leave a comment below and tell me why you want it! This giveaway is open to everyone.

Attagirl.com – the CEO and founder of Attagirl.com recently reached out to me to share her website and mission.

“Attagril is a community of women helping each other be and stay active. At Attagirl women can connect, set goals, share successes, and more importantly, encourage each other on their fitness journeys, whether it be training for a marathon or dropping a few pounds.”

There is a cool goal sharing feature and you can send your friends “attagirls” for encouragement.

Social Dress Shopmany of you may remember the post I wrote back in November about my friend Sarah’s new online dress boutique, Social Dress Shop. Well, I’m excited to announce that she’s expanded her offerings and is now offering a “Budget Chic” category with tons of fabulous  wallet-friendly dresses.

Social Dress Shop is currently offering a 25% off discount for all orders placed today! Definitely check it out.

Multiply Delicious – I am so excited to share this fabulous blog with you. Multiply Delicious is a written by Heather who is a mom of twin girls, Paleo chef and an amazing CrossFit athlete. Heather recently moved to Charlotte and joined Metro CrossFit. She just published her first e-cookbook, 70 Recipes for a Paleo Lifestyle. It’s full of beautiful photography and delicious recipes.

I’m giving away a copy of the e-cookbook to a reader. Leave a comment below and tell me why you want it! This giveaway is open to everyone. And a note for transparency…I am not participating in Heather’s affiliate program. I just want to see her sell the crap out of this cookbook and get the success she deserves!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
