After a weekend of fried chicken and biscuits in South Carolina, it felt good to get back into the gym for a quick 30 minute workout that targeted glutes and abs.
Getting in shape and seeing progress takes time, but the time and effort all all worth it when you walk out feeling good, strong and healthy. Hiring a trainer to help you learn form and hold you accountable may be just what you need to keep going. @mandadude pushes me , makes sure I’m doing the exercises correctly helps me work on areas I otherwise wouldn’t think to target.

A farewell to remember. This trip to @westgateresorts Myrtle Beach has been incredible. Amazing memories, new friends, and a belly so full of good food I couldn’t even button my pants last night. (True story.) Thank you to the @westgateresorts and @zpublicrelations team for setting everything up for us. My love for the South and South Carolina has infinitely grown and now I have Myrtle Beach to check off my bucket list. Until next time!

Day 2 in Myrtle Beach with @westgateresorts and I felt like a kid all over again. 🍭 Our itinerary today consisted of a river boat cruise on the @thebarefootqueennmb, then an afternoon shopping at @barefootlanding were I came upon a merry-go-round full of horses. The kid in me just couldn’t resist. 🐎 Our day ended with dinner at @riptydzmb and another soak in jet tub in my suite with the balcony door open to listen to the waves crashing outside my balcony.
Tomorrow we explore the beach! 🏖
Check out my IG stories for more glimpses into our adventures!

It may be the official first day of fall, but it certainly feels like summer here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Sunset evening walks on the beach just outside the resort to end day one with @westgateresorts.

Headed back to my favorite state today for a press trip! ✨South Carolina ✨Why is it my favorite? Because I feel I was Southern Belle in a past life. Serving sweet tea with an endless love for biscuits. I’m excited to explore Myrtle Beach in the north part of the state since I’ve only ever been to thd south. Stay tuned to see where I’m headed.

It’s September which means it’s time to make my annual fall pilgrimage to @tjmaxx and stock up on new designer apparel from their fabulous Runway collection! #tjmaxxfinds #TheRunway #Fallstyle

I wish the fall weather was here in LA so I could take part in the fall fashion of cute sweaters, boots and hats. But it’s still 75 degrees and sunny here so I’ll just transport myself back to the Dolomites where is was a cool 40 degrees.

Caught a head cold so in between resting I’m trying to convert my home to fall decor since I only get to enjoy it for 30 days before I switch over to Halloween! 🎃 Started with my hutch that I eventually want to paint black, but for now, the white and floral wallpaper will have to do.
My trick to transition for fall: pick a color palette and remove items that don’t fit that color palette for things that do. For example: my fall color palette is black, beige, burnt orange and bronze. Stay tuned for more fall decor.

Took the train from Los Angeles to Paso Robles for @apotratz’s annual company #Revelry with @firestonewalker which took place at the @estrellawarbirdsmuseum. We saw World War II airplanes, F-14’s, 100 year old cars along with endless 🍻 and cheers.

MINDSET: Probably one of the hardest things to master. It’s been a rollercoaster of battling self doubt these past few months. Something you’ll never see on IG. As my friend and mentor Paula P. puts it: “yesterday is in the past and today is a new day.”☀️ I’m not perfect, but I’m committed to be 1% better each day and keep pushing forward towards my goals and not let any negative thoughts or self doubt get in my way. I inspire you to do the same. ❤️

My chandelier from @urbanambiancesocial is finally installed and I’m in love 😍 It adds the perfect amount of glam that my dining my room needed. I also added a ceiling plate for an extra wow factor✨ Definitely better than the outdated ceiling fan I had before! What do you think?

CLOSET MAKEOVER 👠 Living in a home that’s almost 100 years old requires some serious closet organization. People just didn’t need the closet space we do now. So I hired @closet_factory to help me build custom shelving for this space and although we had some very frustrating setbacks (you can read all about it on the blog) we managed to get it done.

What do you think of this space?
