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 live your happiest and healthiest life!

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to say hi over on my Contact page :)

Travel Guide: St Thomas Part Two

I think I'll kick off  every new year with a yoga retreat...

I can't think of the last time I felt this restored and renewed. Since coming back from retreat, I've felt an even deeper appreciation for life and living in the present moment.

Traveling to new places always seems to have this effect on me, but I really enjoyed soaking up every minute of this trip and every detail from this gorgeous island: the wild iguanas we saw, the crazy bugs flying around while on our yoga mats, the crystal clear blue waters, the local food and culture - I was in awe of it all!

At the end of the trip I kept telling myself that I was bummed to leave such a magical place but in reality, I just felt so grateful for everything. I was so happy to be back home in San Luis Obispo. On the drive back up from LA, I couldn't stop smiling at all of the beauty this town and the Central Coast has to offer.

The retreat left me feeling rejuvenated and full of fresh energy -- excited for what this new year has in store!
