Happy Holidays My Smart is Sexy Loves!
Oh man! What a busy month December always is but since we made our pledge, that fabulous pledge to keep our neurons firing in tip-top shape, information circulating and our creative minds brewing every month. To be honest, I barely finished this month, phhhewwwf! I’m gunna blame it on the fact that I did more gluttonous activities than reading…this isn’t probably something I should admit, ooops!

Thank you for nominating me on behalf of Smart is Sexy to help support and bring awareness to ALS. So naturally in true Cali style, especially being a company from Malibu, California – I took the challenge to where the sun, iconic palm trees and freeeeeeezing cold pacific water meet to show my support. As California continuously battles a drought we thought it would be smart to use the freezing ocean water for the challenge as to not waste any water while remaining authentic to the freezing temperature the challenge called for.

Saying “Yes” is a positive thing, anytime you open yourself up to an opportunity you are creating a space to learn something new and better yourself. Saying “No” is almost easier, it’s definitely safer –you stick to what you already know and what’s so bad about that?

Good Morning Smart is Sexy Loves!
This 3 min video is an awesome experience to visually demonstrate the power of the brain. We may never recognize that we are short changing ourselves with the way we think—until proven wrong. So how will you EVER prove yourself wrong?

Good Morning my Smart is Sexy loves,
This week with spring being in the air I wanted to venture out and tackle our first fitness health post since, well, we all know… the hotter it gets the less we wear! Who are we kidding! Definitely not the Smart is Sexy crowd, so to kick start our bods into beach-side shape I’ve enlisted the help of one of our readers, Liz, a Penn State graduate herself who has been personal training for several years now in Los Angeles. With her background and expertise I wanted to highlight the foundation that makes for a smart workout – not only the basic BUT key positions that should be regularly incorporate into a workout but the importance of your mental approach to working out on a day by day basis. Read and see what Liz has got for you..
