Workout of the Month: December

I believe that fitness has to be something that becomes a lifestyle instead of a fad.  Working out, eating clean, and taking care of yourself has to become a part of you, a part of who you ARE.  However, monumental lifestyle changes do not happen overnight.  It takes time and…

Leather and Plaid: Layered Up

One of my favorite combos is leather and plaid; mixing the two allows you to soften the “biker babe” look while still maintaining some edge.  While we were up in Big Bear it was cold enough to wear layers (YAY!) so I took full advantage.  You can also totally mix…
