Currently I work out 2-3x a week but I’m thinking about upping it to 5. I try to get at least 90 minutes and will warm up with some old ballet moves followed by jogging 1-2 miles. I alternate that with Yoga or Pilates. I use the p90x yoga tape… It’s very good and you will work up a sweat!

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day.  My vacation ends today (tear) and I have to say, it was one of the best  I’ve ever had. The wedding was amazing, be sure to check back for pictures this week! It was my first time shooting a wedding and I think I did a pretty good job :-)

This outfit I wore to a fashion show they had here at the Westin. Leave it to me to find a Fashion Show wherever I go.

What made you cut all your hair off?

Soooo I mixed up the body question with this one so I guess I’ll answer the body one here. I have a naturally muscular body but I also gain weight quite easily so I try to get some sort of exercise in 3x a week. I jog (can’t get past 3 miles) and do a mixture of Pilates, yoga, and some old ballet warm ups.

How tall are you?

I kind of go through cycles where I cut all my hair off and grow it back. This the the longest I’ve gone keeping it short. I’m think of growing it back again, what do u think? Lol

The pic of you in the red with long hair it looks like u didnt really have freckles...

I didn’t! Well I had a few but they were easily covered by makeup. I developed freckles later on in my life after a major sunburn episode in puerto Rico. I also used to wear quite a bit of makeup.

So I don’t normally post this close to the weekend but I had to share some more awesome pictures taken by my hubby.  We are having such a good time.  Nothing much more to say but have a great weekend :-)

Howdy! Long time no see I know :-)

I’m currently in Saint John for one of mt best friend’s wedding.  Dasan and I came to the resort a little early for some couple time.  It is so unbelievably beautiful here, lush landscapes, perfect weather…I seriously want to live here! Today we rented a Jeep and drove through the mountains, stopping at various lookout points, hidden beaches, and the ruins of an old sugar factory.

Wifi really only works in the room so there won’t be much time for social media except in the evenings. Catch ya later!

I QUIT: Stepping out on Faith

Just a few minutes ago I handed off two signed papers to my boss, announcing that on June 29th 2012 I will be leaving my job. Its bittersweet because while I’m quite fond of the people I work with and have done and IMMENSE amount of growing here, it is time that I move on and pursue my dreams.

I’ve never done anything like this before. Though I appear to have the spontaneity and ease of a free-spirited individual, the truth is I’m much more of a walk-the-line sort of person. All my life I’ve played it safe. I opted for a traditional Univeristy instead of Art School or Parsons for fear of disappointing my family. I stayed at a job for nearly five years because I convinced myself that I could never make money at the things I love. That they were just hobbies and nothing more.

And maybe I won’t be able to make money from them.  Maybe they are meant to be just hobbies. But how will I know for sure if I don’t at least try? So I’m stepping out on faith and giving it a go.  If it doesn’t work out, well then, back to the drawing board. I’d rather fail at something I love than sit in a cubicle wondering “what if?” for the rest of my life.

I’ll be posting a little less frequently for the next few weeks, but I promise I will be back with more posts soon!
