Happy April Fools’ Day! Rather than joke and be broke (can’t quit my day job ), how about I share the wealth of health ?
While styling your hair, you might as well knock multiple birds ~ or in this case, leg m uscles ~ with one stone and be bad to the bone * and rock solid!
10-20 reps while you heat-dry or iron each section:
squats (alternate sets of narrow, wide, plié)lunges (sets of the same leg, then switch)glute lifts (alternate between each leg)knee raises (alternate between each leg)thigh raises (sets of the same leg then switch)calf raises (both legs at the same time)
Your thighs look like sweet potato pies!
That was a line from my fellow trainer ‘s brand-spankin’ new single, 1994

This jam makes me want to dance ~ so now I can get my ♥cardio♥ on!

Happy 106th Birthday, LOLO TICO
Bold Gold as the accent nail
Last Saturday, when I got ready for the ♥Valentine’s♥ dinner dance productive by hitting the park to dry my nails during a fun run & quickie workout
Many Shades of Pink
followed by a study session at Starbucks , + ♥Adoration♥ at the †Chapel† and Vigil †Mass† before spending the evening at the Country Club!
Walking uphill in these platforms is a workout in itself! No pole or 18 hole!
LMFAO ‘s ♪Party Rock Anthem ♫ & ♫Sexy & I Know It ♪ come to my mind!
¿Tienes agua? My campaign for H2O + my attempt for this DISPO @ the Baby Grand Piano to pull a Cassey Ho
Despite insoles to alleviate the platform pain, I must admit that I suffered through shuffling (i.e., ♫Cupid Shuffle ♪) + salsa y bailando en general
Taking a break from dancing & photographing … Here’s how I did my hair (when it held up): I kept it braid ed all day ’til I got ready, then separated into 2 sections ~ tease d the top & put into a braid to wrap around the bottom, which I curl ed.

As if?
Remember the almost two decade-old flick, Clueless , where the main characters makeover their teacher ?
Well, two of my superstar students revamped my look in class today! They schooled us on braiding and eye makeup for their demonstration speeches.
Starting off with a French Braid at the crown …
First, I got my hair did.
Wrapping it up with a Waterfall Braid on the side!
Then, my face!
My students’ makeup by Sephora + my mascara & lipstick by M•A•C
As Van Halen sings …
Glam & Glitz ~ ♪ready for a Ballroom Blitz ♫!
♪ ☼HOT☼ for Teacher ♫
& I look forward to my senior drum major student doing my nails in ombré style with school colors mañana!
