Hi!

I'm Alison, a yoga instructor, lifestyle blogger and Long Beach native, living in Southern California with my husband Chris and our two kiddos, Callie and Ford.

This blog has been a space to share my adventures in fitness, food, travel and more as I’ve lived in San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, and now Orange County. I hope that my posts help inspire you to be your happiest and healthiest self, no matter what stage of life you are in!

Thanks for stopping by and maybe even say hi over on my Contact page :)

Adventure in Rancho Palos Verdes

Wayfarers Chapel

Decided to stop by here simply because it is the most breathtaking church I have ever seen. I fall in love with it more and more every time I go visit. (Major props to Lloyd Wright!)

I know you can't really see it in the photo above, but that spot in the middle of the ocean is a Gray Whale! Bummed I missed it with my camera but it was so awesome to watch it surface and take a breath of fresh air (fun fact: whales don't actually blow water out of their blowholes, they expire air).

Terranea Cove

And of course... stretching out after our hiking adventure :)

Exciting things are coming soon to TakeOffYourPartyDress so keep your eyes open... 

Happy New Year to all! Here we come, 2015!!
