Bye Bye Moustache, Moustache, Moustache, Moustache!
I have a number of posts to share from my #secretvacation but something pressing has come up this week – My main man of Duran Duran has finally shaved his face! The group Sparks said that “100 hairs make the man” in the fabulous song from the 80’s song “Moustache” but in my opinion that was not the case for my long-time faux rock star boyfriend Simon Le Bon.

Workout Wednesdays – A #SecretVacation 5K
Welcome to the transition from Wunda Wednesdays (now that my 60 Day Challenge is complete) to Workout Wednesdays!
I’ve had a lot of variety in my fitness adventures lately between my intense classes at WundaBar Pilates, the amazing Love.Yoga.Give event at the Pasadena Rose Bowl and the JumpSport Trampoline class at Fitbloggin’ just to name a few.
I’ve been bursting to talk about my special 5K adventure from the #secretvacation I took before Fitbloggin’ and finally, I can reveal the details and share: […]
Tunes For Tuesday (70's Edition) – AC/DC

Today’s Tunes For Tuesday is AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell”. Every single time I hear this song I’m instantly taken back to the roller rink I used to go to when I was young – whenever HTH came on it meant to skate backward and skate fast!
Nowadays this song inspires me to go fast in my car or when I run. Hope you enjoy it!
What is one of your power songs to get you moving?
10 Main Takeaways From FitBloggin'
Hoping you all had a great holiday weekend! I’ve been traveling a bit and I’ve been late in letting you all know about my #secretvacation (blog post pending) but this post is about my trip to Portland and my 10 Takeaways from Fitbloggin’. This was a conference unlike any other I’ve ever attended. Kia from Bodhibear.net said “that Fitbloggin is like walking into a hug” and she was absolutely right! I was lucky to have been chosen as a LiveBlogger (and therefore my conference fee was complimentary) but would have paid to attend this fabulous conference anyway! I’m already looking forward to FitBloggin 2014!
My 10 Main Takeaways From Fitbloggin’ Include: […]

It’s an unscheduled post day but today is special. Today is a day to remember how lucky you might be to live in the United States, a country that allows all of us the freedom to think, do and be who we are. If you live elsewhere, you can still take some time to reflect on how lucky you are as well. Why not, right?
In ValentineRD style, I hope you take some time today to think about the 4 things that are at the heart (pun intended) of this blog: […]
Wunda Wednesdays – It's A Wrap!
Welcome to Week 9 – the final post of Wunda Wednesdays! From May 1st through July 1st, I participated in a 60 Day Challenge with WundaBar Pilates. I took 3-4 classes per week in exchange for documenting my progress weekly here on the blog.
I can’t believe that my 60 Day Challenge is officially over. It went fast and damn, I worked hard! WundaBar Pilates is no joke my friends. From this experience, I assure you that in every single class you are guaranteed sweat, shaking, sighing and cursing but you’ll go back for more because in 50 minutes you get a fun (but serious) workout that will change the way you look at exercise classes.
