2017 Boss Bombshell Fitness Challenge + Giveaway

Hey loves! I am beyond excited for the New Year, and even more excited to share this Fitness Challenge with you. Last year, I made a resolution to get fit. Saaaadly to say, I didn’t achieve the results I wanted. (bummer!) But looking back there are some crucial factors that could have changed my outcome. Here are reason’s why my resolution didn’t stick, and how this challenge will help both you and I in future success. (You can also download the Fitness Kit below!)

1. I didn’t have a plan.

A resolution is a goal. It doesn’t have any magical powers just because it starts on January 1st. A goal requires structure. Otherwise, it’s just a wish.
With this Fitness Challenge you’ll be able to avoid just crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. You will have a clear plan available for meals and workouts!

2. I forgot WHY I was doing it.

Motivation matters! If you don’t know why the goal is important to you, then it will be very easy to let it go. Get detailed why you’re doing this. For example, don’t just say “I want to get in better shape because I want to look good.”  Get even more specific. Write it down. Post it in a very visible place and create small reminders in your phone.

3. I didn’t plan for setbacks.

Let’s face it: No one is perfect. We have to recognize that things will get hard and unexpected obstacles are bound to happen. Give yourself some leeway. Plan for setbacks, take into account holidays, and remember to forgive yourself and constantly reignite your passion. The fitness tracker and calendar planner will help you look ahead and plan for some of these obstacles such as holidays.

4. No support group or network

It is important to surround yourself with like-minded people. If certain people aren’t supportive, keep them at a distance. Who needs toxic relationships anyway? With the Boss Bombshells challenge you’ll have an entire network of boss ladies on the same journey as you to lean on when you need uplifting.
  


5. I took on too much, too fast and expected too much, too fast.

Most of us get a little over-zealous when it comes to New Year’s Resolutions. I know I was expecting to make huge leaps and expected really quick results. But real long lasting growth is a slow and steady process. Consistency is key here. 

Need help keeping your 2017 Fitness Resolutions? Join me for the 12 week Boss Bombshells Challenge! Plus be entered for Challenge Giveaways!

I have partnered with my fitness trainer to create a 12-Week workout and meal plan that is geared toward Millennial Boss Babes just like you. This fitness challenge is open to everyone.

Mindset Monday

Hey Loves! It’s Monday and that means you’ve got another chance to take one step closer to designing a life that you love. Today, I just want to remind you that on your journey, it can be easy to look at the road ahead or at what others are doing and feel discouraged. Stop comparing your life, and start living it. Seriously!

Focus on your own journey and remember that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes. Don’t be ashamed of where your at and surely don’t define yourself by your circumstances. Be proud of your growth mindset and your intentions. That puts you 10 steps ahead of someone who may be at a place where you want to be, but isn’t hungry, has become complacent, or lost their vision and focus.

A while back, I had a car accident and it tore into my self-esteem. I was no longer able to work, unable to workout, and it seemed like the cost of living was throwing everything it had at me. It set me back financially BIG time, and that hurt my view of myself even more. I spent all of my time staring at other people’s social media accounts and feeling like crap.

I got so tired of feeling that way, and I knew I had to do something to get out of that funk. I began to motivate myself and create goals. I stopped comparing myself and started looking inward at what needed to be done in my life to achieve my vision.This turned everything around for me.

So, please remember that when I say, “Don’t be ashamed of where your at, be proud of where you know your going” it’s not from a place of judgment. Or a pedestal. I say it to spark in someone the understanding that they’re not alone. Everyone starts somewhere and it’s never to late to start. There is no expert that was never a beginner. No matter what you’re facing in your life right now, there is only one person who can change it. “You are the designer of your destiny. You are the author. You write the story. The pen is in your hand.” – Lisa Nichols


Hey loves, Happy Sunday! 

This weekend, I have FINALLY been able to get out and do some Christmas shopping. It was short lived though. After about 2 hours of this store and that, I decided to just head home, relax, and scour the Internet for the more specific items I was looking for. I threw on 24K Magic by Bruno Mars (So in love with this song right now!), grabbed some hot chocolate, marshmallows, and began my shopping.

All of the women in my life right now are on some sort of journey and have a goal. Whether they’re trying to finish school, get a promotion, get in better shape I want all of my gifts to not only be super cute, but be something inspiring that will help them in whatever they are looking to achieve. 



If you have some gals with goals in your life, make sure to get them a gift that will help them. It will show them that you are with them, you support them, and recognize the hard work that they are putting in. It makes all the difference to know your efforts are seen and that you have someone behind you.


So here it is…Happy shopping!

Hope you enjoy the list!

Check back this week for a Boyfriend/Husband Gift Guide!

The following ideas are to help you attract more wealth and abundance into your life. These fun and practical little tips will magnify your energy and get the Law of Attraction sending more prosperity your way.
(This is a repost from last year that I really loved, and thought needed to be shared.)

1. DE-CLUTTER YOUR WALLET OR PURSE

Show your money how much you love it by creating a safe environment for it to energetically feel valued by your purse or wallet. Make sure you arrange your bills in order, and keep them unfolded. Throw away any old receipts or expired cards – clear the dead energy. This process gives the Universe a very clear message you have created space in your purse/wallet/heart/life for more abundance to be drawn to you effortlessly.

2. COLLECT ALL OF YOUR COINS

You would be amazed at how much money appears when you empty out your old coat pockets, look under the sofa or check out your handbags…even go through your car! Create a jar specifically for your coins and see how they all add up to help contribute to your wealth. Treasure your coins because they carry the vibrational energy of abundance.

3. TELL THE MONEY YOU LOVE IT

Start to feel good about your money and send it loving thoughts. Basically, if you love your money then your money (energetically) will love you back and multiply. If you send it hateful thoughts then it will want to stay away from you.

4. PLACE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES OF MONEY IN YOUR AWARENESS

Get some fake money, photocopied money (for personal use only) or stock images of money and place it in an area that is in your visual awareness quite often. It could be the fridge, the bathroom mirror, your vision board, your bedroom ceiling – pretty much anywhere that you can imprint your subconscious mind. Surround yourself in imagery of prosperity and see what happens.

5.  INTENTION SETTING IS VITAL. GET CLEAR ABOUT THE TYPES OF OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTRACT FOR YOURSELF 

Write an elaborate list of all of the opportunities and experiences you would like to attract for yourself over the course of your life. Be specific because the Universe is listening! Intention setting is imperative in the manifesting process.

6. COMMIT RANDOM ACTS OF MONEY KINDNESS

Whatever you put out there comes back to you. When you commit a random act of kindness the energy is bound to head back in your direction (as long as you don’t expect it). Drop $5 in the bathroom when the cleaner is in there or perhaps pay for the coffee for the person behind you at Starbucks. This is such a feel-good exercise in tuning into the energy of abundant flow. You are giving the Universe the message that you have more than enough prosperity to share around.

7. WRITE YOURSELF A CHECK

Once upon a time Jim Carrey was a struggling young comedian trying to make some money in Hollywood. He was just about to give up his dream of becoming a professional actor and comedian when he was booed off the stage at an open mic session in an LA nightclub.
Jim sat by himself at the top of Mulholand Drive contemplating his success or failure. He then pulled out his check book and wrote himself a big fat check for $10 million dollars and made a note on it: “for acting services rendered.”
He then carried that check with him in his wallet everywhere he went from that day forward.
By 1995, after the success of his blockbuster movies: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask, his contract price had risen to the price of $20 million dollars.
Write yourself a check for a specific amount and place it in your purse or wallet.

8. ACT AS IF YOU HAVE MONEY – GET CLASSY

Put on your best suit or your best dress and go to the supermarket. Dress up for the most ordinary tasks and witness how you feel energetically. Power dressing raises your vibration and shows the Universe that you are all dressed up and willing to go places.

9. WINDOW SHOP AND MENTALLY SPEND

Go to a shopping mall and buy everything you see that you like (mentally). Really get into the feeling space of being able to purchase anything your heart desires. Allow yourself to mentally buy the most expensive pair or shoes, or that $10,000 handbag. Feel as if you have the power to purchase anything you want.

10. REPLACE YOUR LANGUAGE PATTERNS OF FEAR AND LACK

Start to see that money is just an exchange of energy. Witness every time you say ‘that’s too expensive’ or ‘there’s not enough money’ and reframe it to feel better within your heart. Sometimes not vocalizing your fears is the best way to transform the energy.

11. MEDITATION: BREATHING IN ABUNDANCE

Take 10 minutes to visualize yourself surrounded in prosperity. With every image that lands in your mind, take a deep breath and imagine you are replacing your oxygen with the energy of abundance and wealth. This infuses every atom in your body with a new and vibrant energy of possibility.

12. BUY YOURSELF ITEMS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL PROSPEROUS

Buy something luxurious that makes you feel prosperous. It could be a lottery ticket, a nice bottle of champagne, a piece of jewelry- anything that makes you feel abundant.

13. THE $100 NOTE EXERCISE

This was an exercise in a book by Abraham Hicks called ‘Ask and It Is Given’. You basically always keep a hundred dollar bill in your purse or wallet and never spend it. The idea is to mentally spend that hundred dollars and know and feel safe by the knowledge that it’s in there and available for you to use when and if you wish. It apparently expands your money mindset and allows for more prosperity to flow.

14. LEARN TO PICK UP COINS FROM THE GROUND + CELEBRATE

Even if it’s just five cents, make sure you bend down and pick up the money! You’ll show the Universe that you are open to collecting abundance. When you feel like you’d be embarrassed or self-conscious about doing this, I want you to reframe it so that you are looking after the money. You are a conscious custodian of cash making sure that money feels loved. This generates the energy of appreciation.

15. LEARN TO LOVE YOUR BILLS

When they land in your inbox or your letter box make sure that you mentally send them love and say thank you to the Universe for the services you have received in exchange for the bill. Draw little hearts on them and use the bills as an affirmation that prosperity flows into your life in many forms in order for you to pay your bills on time. Whatever you do, don’t send the bills negative energy. Try and re-frame your perspective. Remember that more than 80% of the world’s population survive on less than $10 per day. There’s something to think about.

16. INVESTING

If you’re in a position to invest in something that will provide a financial return then do it! Whether it’s shares, property or a company…try and invest in something that will bring in abundance on autopilot. Imagine how the people that bought cheap shares in Facebook are feeling now!

17. CREATING MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME

Along the same lines as investing, think of creative ways you could generate more money with little effort. Could you have a garage sale? Perhaps sell items on eBay? Get a job? Or start your own business? Be open to all possibilities that can help to pave a brighter and more prosperous future for you.

18. KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU SPEND

This can be a fascinating exercise for sure. For a whole week carry around a notebook (or keep receipts) of all of the purchases you make. This will help you to identify the areas that you can save money, and therefore attract more.

19. BE OF SERVICE TO OTHERS

This is along the same lines as paying it forward or committing random acts of kindness. However, being of service to others ensures you are truly getting out of your own way and providing value in the lives of others. The energy you generate when you are being of service to others has powerful momentum to make you feel really alive, vibrant and on purpose.

20. GET SPECIFIC: HOW MUCH WOULD YOU LIKE TO EARN/ALLOW?

Formulate a very specific number in your mind that you would like to manifest by a certain date. Specificity ensures that you are open to receiving more money. How much would you be able to live on comfortably?

21. CREATE A VISION BOARD WITH IMAGES AND WORDS THAT DEFINE THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL ABOUT ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Creating a vision board is a fabulous way to manifest your desires. Just taking the time to construct a visual representation of your dream life will help you to let the Universe know you’re serious about drawing those desires into your reality.

22. NETWORK WITH PEOPLE ONLINE AND OFFLINE

Surrounding yourself with people that will support you on your metaphysical journey is so important. Find and seek out groups of people that are interested in manifesting and The Law of Attraction.

23. ENTER CONTESTS WHERE YOU CAN WIN STUFF OR MONEY.

You’ve got to be in it to win it! Make sure you take that lottery ticket when you feel the intuitive nudge or that you enter contests when they are presented to you. Sometimes getting lucky just takes very small actions for large returns.

24. AFFIRMATION TIME:

It is safe for abundance to flow into my life. I am worthy of prosperity.
