Not only is it Friday, it's also officially Fall which makes my heart so very happy!

Out of every season, Fall is by far my favorite.

I just can't wait for the weather to catch up with the season, seriously it's still getting so hot here during the days that I'm continuously looking at the weather hoping to see lower temps in the forecast.

Let's move on, shall we?!

This past Wednesday I was so lucky to be invited to an event for bloggers and influencers in the St. Louis area where we were able to do Twilight Yoga on top of the Chase Park Plaza.

For those of you who don't know what the Chase Park Plaza is, it's an incredible hotel in the downtown area, overlooking Forest Park.

Last week I shared a whole post about working out in Forest Park, check that out HERE!

This hotel is beyond gorgeous and I would love to be able to stay there one day, maybe a little stay cation action... One day, fingers crossed!

This event was sponsored by Santé Fitness, which is the gym that is located inside the Chase and I have to say it is one of the nicest gyms I have ever seen.

From the classrooms, equipment to the locker rooms and amenities you are guaranteed to get every single pennies worth with a membership.

I was able to invite one of my best friends to go along with me to this event and when we arrived we were greeted by gorgeous views, smoothies that were delectable and a staff that was so warm and welcoming.

The yoga class began around 6:45 pm as the sun was setting and it was breathtaking. I have never been one to actively search out a yoga class, every other time I have tried it out I haven't fully gotten into it. After this experience I can honestly say I have changed my view completely. The instructor from Santé Fitness, that led the class, created an environment that made me truly appreciate yoga.

All in all the experience is one that I will never forget and one that I will be grateful to have been able to be a part of.

It's Wednesday again and that brings us to another installment of What to Wear Wednesday all about my Mexico bound suit case! Today's spotlight is all about active wear. I know, I know, I'll be on vacation and sipping drinks by the pool everyday, however I still plan on finding time in the mornings to workout and do what I can to stay in shape with the gorgeous background of the beach!

1. Sunglasses - This may seem like a no brainer but I have a tendency of running out the door to take a jog and forgetting my sunglasses, so here it is, number one on my list so I *hopefully* don't forget! Running on the beach in the sun would not be as fulfilling without my sunglasses!

2. Water Bottle - Personally, I like to run with a water bottle in hand instead of waiting it out until the end of my run. This water bottle is a bit heavy, however I am not planning on running super long distances in Mexico, just nice jogs on the beach in the mornings! I have this water bottle in my cabinet and it has become one of my favorites!

3. Accessory Belt -  If you haven't read my posts about this belt then please do so HERE and HERE now. I am completely obsessed with the amount of stuff I can fit in here! Being on vacation I may even need to add a few extras and this belt is just the perfect and must have accessory!

4. Sports Bra & Leggings -  So I have just came across this company and have fallen madly in love with their clothing. Seriously, I can't wait to get my hands on this sports bra and legging set! Nothing better than a cute outfit to go for a run or to the gym in Mexico and anywhere else!! Be sure to check out this companies other active wear HERE and their Pinterest page HERE for more inspiration. I seriously could have picked every single thing they have, however for the sake of this post I had to narrow it down... You won't regret checking them out!

5. Activewear Tank -  You have heard me talk about this incredible local company in THIS post and here it is, coming up again because I just can't help myself! Their clothing is just so cute and I'm a huge fan or representing where I'm from wherever I go!

6. Shoes -  Again, a no brainer. Running/athletic shoes are a must for working out on the go. I'll definitely be getting my hands on a pair of these tennis shoes before heading on vacation!

7. Running Tee -  Basically I feel like I just need this shirt and I need to wear it daily. Two of my favorite things, running and eating and they go hand in hand.

Cheers!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday, and also had a great weekend {I know we did!}

On Saturday we took our boys to an event that was hosted by a local high school called "Things That Go!" Now if you know my oldest son, Oliver, then you know that he is OBSESSED with trucks and cars and basically anything in that category. Well we were able to take him to actually see these construction vehicles and so much more! He made it about a half hour before all the honking started to get to him and he wanted to go home, but for those thirty minutes he was enjoying himself quite immensely.

Before I knew it Monday was (is) here and it's time to get back to it. Which means it's time to start buckling down for the week. For me, that means school with Oliver and finding time to get in a quick workout! This weeks workout is absolutely a favorite of mine and I've been using it since I created it and now I'm SO excited that I get to share it with you all!

Happy Friday, everyone!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning!

Today I want to share with you something that I have been working on for a little while now.

As you know, I am Sworkit's Lead Ambassador (I talked about that back in this post).

Sworkit has started a campaign all about sharing with everyone where you are using Sworkit, using the hashtag #WHEREISWORKIT.

I immediately went into brainstorming mode and knew that I wanted to not only participate but to help share the message and inspire everyone else to share their images and videos from all over!

The above image I took the other evening after I finished forty minutes of using Sworkit while both boys played in the bath tub, like it says, sometimes you have to make time! Which is exactly what I do most evenings, I whip out my yoga mat and phone and get in my workout after the boys bathe and are playing in the tub!

Not only is it convenient and super easy given the nature of this incredible app, it also entertains the boys and they laugh at me and even have started cheering me on! Oliver loves counting down with the App and then clapping, saying "GO MOMMY!"

While most of the time I workout in my home, when I can get a few moments free of any other obligations, I do have the rare opportunity to use my app outside of the house at locations all around my incredible city!

Recently, there have been many places in St. Louis that have been rated number one as far as attractions go in the US and even the world. I take such pride that these places are right in my own back yard, not only that, many of them are available to the public for free!

Today I am going to share with you all the beauty that is Forest Park, which has been voted the number one city park in the United States. My entire life I have been going to Forest Park, which is the home to places like the St. Louis Zoo, the Art Museum, the History Museum, the Muny and countless other gorgeous places such as the Butterfly House, the World's Fair Pavilion and so much more. Every single one of these places is free to get in and enjoy to absolutely anyone! In a world where everything has a price, it's so nice to be able to enjoy these places with our family without having to pay an incredibly high entrance fee!

Here is a little video I put together this past weekend of me using my Sworkit app all around Forest Park. I hope you enjoy!

Be sure to tag any and all of your Sworkit photos and videos with the hashtag #WHEREISWORKIT and you'll also be entered into a contest to win a YEAR PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP from Sworkit!!

Cheers!

Better late than never! I apologize for such a late post, but alas, here it is! Today's installment of What to Wear Wednesday is all about what to wear on your evenings out during a tropical vacation!

1. Eiger - Shimmer Pink Nailpolish : Number one, picking the perfect nail polish for vacation is a must and after a lot of consideration I feel like this shade is just beyond perfect for a little Mexico getaway, am I right?!

2. Steppin' Out Hat in Pink : I am obsessed with hats and this one would be the perfect touch for a night out in a nice simple Summer dress. Giving the outfit a little extra accessory, but nothing too big or crazy!

3. Polished Promise Heel in Ecru : Keeping it simple, that's what these heels are all about. Not only are they minimal in the amount of shoe there actually is, the color is perfect to walk around giving an illusion of wearing no shoes at all, what else could be perfect for a beach vacation night out?!

4. Super Duper Strength Crazy Tort : Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of these sunglasses. They would be the perfect accessory to any evening outfit, or any outfit at all really, on vacation or at home!

5. Elise Embroidered Clutch : Probably my favorite item on this list, the embroidery detail with the pops of color just scream vacation!

6. Floral Lace Slip Dress : Keeping it simple, a slip dress would be perfect and airy to spend the evening sipping drinks out by the pool, on your balcony or anywhere on a tropical vacation!

7. Bella Floral Dress : Same as above, nothing better than simplicity and airy for the beach in the evening!

Stay tuned for next weeks installment!!!
