Starting off on the right foot!

So I am moving and a grooving on my New Years Resolutions this year. Speaking of which here is a picture from New Years Eve with some of my old high school friends. Of course I am the blonde in purple. We had so much fun together that night!
But as my resolutions go I decided to take one of them... inspire creativity and make my resolutions in a non traditional way. It is all a mirror image but I made them into a flower with each resolution as a petal. The final list was: Love others, Live Your Dreams, Desire More, Keep It Creative, Style it Up, Live Glamorously, Love the Lord Your God, Nurture Your Mind, Be Bold, and Respect Your Health. Each petal has smaller things around it as more specific examples. So what have I done so far: I have exercised and eaten on my plan, written all my syllabi into my Lilly planner, read a chapter in a non school book every night, found a yoga class in Waco, and bought a journal to encourage my daily writing.

In other worlds my first day of classes and work went great, and I will be selecting the winner of my giveaway very soon!!
Oh and it is official PBC has 3 solos in Sing!

Yoga Yoga Yoga

So I have been practicing yoga again since being home for the holidays. Call it the beachy in Preppy Beach Chic, but I love it. I started yoga three years ago to help in rehabilitation of my shoulder tear. My ortho did not want to operate on my shoulder so I could resume playinf softball as soon as possible so I under went an extreme rehab process, that I guess you could say is a bit more holistic than usual.
I have gotten back into the flow of yoga and am regaining my flexibility rather fast. Today I want to share my top reasons why every woman should try yoga!

1. Yoga Booty- Yoga tones all your muscles, especially the booty! The "yoga butt" is firm and round and totally hot!
2. Super cute outfits- Lululemon, Nike, you name it. Dressing for yoga means wearing tight, comfortable, and of course totally fashionable outfits. Yes, you pick an outfit to go workout!
3. Pink Yoga Mats!
4. An increase in flexibility is never a bad thing... ;)
5. Calmness- We are all busy, whether it be school, your business, being a mom, or a combination of them. We are all busy and all stressed. Yoga is an hour of calmness in the storm... you deserve it!
6. You can find a free starter class almost anywhere!
7. You will burn calories and build and tone muscle.
8. You know the important things like, it helps arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome, anxiety, high blood pressure... basically it can help anything wrong with you!
9. It is no judgment... you can do poses for the utmost beginner or you can balance on one arm while holding your body in the air... you make it your practice, to benefit you!
10. Savasana- This is the corpse pose and is the last pose in most yoga flows. Basically you lay on your back for ten minutes breathing, and totally relaxing, and you can call it exercise. This is one of the you have to do it to know what I am talking about things. Really it is total body and mind relaxation... its heaven!

Well thats all so as we aproach the New Year cosider adding Yoga into your life. It really is amazing!
