Do you Issuu?

Get your own - Open publication

This might be the coolest FREE thing I've found on the internet in a really really long time. Ok, it is. This site allows you to publish your book online so people can view it like they would if they had it in their hands. Every single page. Doesn't it look nice?!?! To me, this is what good design is all about. Check out all the beau-tee-ful books on their website. So cool. If you use Issuu please post a link in the comments section so we can check out your publication.

sambazon smoothies are yummy

 If you have yet to try acai (ah-sigh-ee) you are missing out. It's a yummy fruit from Brazil that has a berry/cocoa flavor and is super loaded with healthy Omega fats, protein, and fiber. When I buy them pre-made I like the Sambazon Supergreens Revolution. They're anywhere from $2.50-$3.50 depending on what store you buy them from. However my favorite thing to do is blend my own smoothie. I use the Sambazon Pure Acai Smoothie Packs. They come in 4-packs that are about $5. It's more affordable this way, plus I figure it's better for the environment not to be purchasing individual bottles. And I like that I can control the sweetness by using stevia. 

My recipe:

-1 pack of Sambazon pure acai pulp

-1/2 cup of frozen berries (mix of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries)

-A splash of water (to thin it out)

-Sweeten with stevia powder (or honey) to desired sweetness

You can also add any combination of fruits. My suggestions: mango, pineapple, banana, strawberries, and peaches.

This makes such a lovely & tasty smoothie. Give it a try! :-)

swerve studio makes the A-List

Gillian Marloth & Teigh McDonough - the heart & soul of Swerve Studio, Los Angeles, CA

If you live in LA and haven't tried Yoga Booty Ballet at Swerve Studio yet you MUST GO NOW. Seriously, this place is great! It has the best energy of any fitness studio I have tried. The instructors are tons of fun! All of them. Honestly, I have never taken an unchallenging class at this studio. Ever. Also the people who take classes here are super friendly too. If you can't make it to their studio you're not totally out of luck... they also have a YBB video series. 

These ladies belong at the top of the A-List that's for sure!

We're still working on getting the site/blog up and running, but we're really excited about all the new opportunities to connect with our fitness community. Check back again soon. Thanks, Jennifer and Alexis
