Muesli for breakfast, smart or not?

How are we suppose to do that without a kick ass breakfast? Breakfast is important, you heard it once, now you are hearing it twice, breakfast is a MUST. Breakfast gets your brain prepped for all those smart ideas and absorbing as much info as you can during the day as well as keeping the body silhouetted and metabolism on fire for that sexy shape.

Hello Loves,

On my previous post here, I spoke about working with the lifestyle photographer Shaun Honda and mentioned our project together at the Flower Market in Downtown Los Angeles.

Behind the Scenes

About two weeks ago Smart is Sexy worked on a new project collaborating with a wonderful photographer –  Shaun Honda.

Shaun Honda is a lifestyle photographer with a beautiful method to capture the natural movement and expression through his lens. It’s raw, it’s fresh and non inhibiting. He’s flawless in professionalism and conduct. It was so much fun working with Shaun, I think I freaked him out more times than once, sorry Shaun! haha but I adored working with him, if you get the opportunity that he approaches you to collaborate, I would suggest you say YES or YES or YES!
