Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad’s birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS!


Of course I had to make my dad the ultimate RFFMBT gift of all gifts: fresh carrot juice! My dad loves carrots. He loves them so much that he has taught all of our dogs to be carrot addicts too. Every time someone opens a produce drawer in the fridge, the dogs automatically think it’s “carrot time” which means one carrot for my dad, and then half for each pup. Our late Yellow Labrador, Tiger actually started to turn orange on his chest from the daily carrot routine!


After my dad left for work this morning, my mom, sister, and I headed out for a nice morning walk around 6:45am to surprise my dad at his favorite coffee shop in town. He stops by for a cup of java at the same coffee shop every morning, so we thought it would be fun to take our puppy Elin and surprise him. Of course it was a total fail and we missed him by 10 minutes! We ended up taking a photo out in front with our coffees and texted it to him. He was more surprised over the fact that I was awake at that hour over everything else! Although mission coffee shop surprise was a bust, it was nice to get some exercise in before my brain even had time to recognize what was going on. The puppy enjoyed the walk too!


Now I’m off to run some errands before I meet up with my trainer Kandace. She always helps me to refocus and find balance between exercising and healthy eating. She is a great trainer, friend, mentor, and to top it off, a breast cancer survivor. I encourage everyone to read her blog about how exercise saved her life and kept her strong throughout her treatments. She is such an inspiration!

Stay tuned because I have a very excited announcement later today! 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Now time to lace up the Asics and walk to the coffee shop!
Happy Mother’s day to all of the mommies out there!
I don’t know how you ladies do it, you’re amazing!

Funny Bunny

This is too perfect not to share:
I got an awesome new OPI nail polish yesterday and you will never guess what the name of the color is.

Wait for it…
FUNNY BUNNY
…of course!

I even chose the color before seeing the name!

DIY Workout Shirt

Happy Fashion Friday!
I have a super fun arts and crafts project for my beautiful little bunnies to try over the holiday weekend!

I love buying new clothes, but sometimes I love making them even more!
I started college as a fashion design major, so I have always been a little crafty when it comes to recycling old T-shirts. This has to be my new favorite DIY reclaimed shirt. You can wear this casual racerback to your workout and then dress it up with a lacy bandeau when you meet your friends for some rabbit food afterwards. Turn your basic into a chic little number and go hit the gym like you own it!

DIY Workout Shirt
Makes 1 sexy little tank

Ingredients:
1 old T-shirt
1 pair of scissors
20 minutes

1. Start with a pre-washed T-shirt. Any old shirt will do! The bigger the better.

2. Cut away the ribbed neckline and bottom hem. For the sleeves, cut downwards starting from the shoulder, determining how thick you want your straps. Cut straight down and then begin to curve down below the armpit seam.

3. Determine how low you want your front neckline, and cut away.

4. Flip the shirt over and make a narrow racerback, curving inward from the armpits.  Then cut a deep “V” shape from the top neckline.

5. Using the excess bottom hemline, stretch it out until it becomes one long string of fabric. Knot the string a couple of inches above the bottom of the “V” shape.

6. Wrap the string all the way down around the center of the racerback, and back up to meet the other ends. Knot the ends together tightly. Trim the loose ends.

7. To give your tank a high-low look, lay your shirt sideways, flattening it out evenly. Starting a few inches up at the front of your shirt, start cutting diagonally until you reach the back.

Throw it on with some cute yogis, grab your water, and hit the gym!
Post or email your photos if you make a shirt! I can’t wait to see your creations!
