Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Friday! I have been buuuuusy getting ready for my cousin Shannah’s Wedding!

{Congrats Cameron & Shannah! We will see you later today!}

While at the wedding, I will not be on the blog. It’s family time! I am sure all you beauties can understand 🙂 I wanted to leave you all with a special treat while I am gone! Remember the Interview I did on The Skinny Confidential? Well, since we all love her site, here is an Interview from Lauryn Evarts herself, where she tells us all her skinny tips & tricks! Make sure to check out her website, I’m sure you will find a new follow!

You guys are going to love this! Enjoy! ♡

+ Tell us about yourself and your blog.

+ What inspired you to start blogging?

Simple: organic veggies, fruits, vegetable juice, vitamins, low-sodium lean meats, delicious cheeses, & eggs. Maybe a little wine too ; ). Oh! And I love my one cup a day of coffee. & I drink water like it’s my job.
If I fuel my car with the best gas, why wouldn’t I fuel my body with the best foods?

+ Three meals per day, or five-six small meals?

Oh, definitely five to six small meals. I like to keep my metabolism at its optimum level. I snack all day, not really ever having “meals” at all.

+ What does a typical day in your life look like?

I exercise six days a week for an hour a day. It’s like brushing my teeth; I just do it. Eating-wise: eggs + grapefruit in the AM, snacks throughout the day: grapes, hummus, baby carrots, grapes, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, a veggie juice, whatever I can grab. For dinner I’ll have a salad with protein or soup. Dessert is protein-infused hot chocolate or apple with soy nut butter + pumpkin pie spice. I’m a grazer!

+ How do you stay lean without bulking up when strength training?

People are misled when it comes to strength training. For the first couple weeks you’ll notice bulk. This is because you’re building muscle on top of fat. After about a month the fat falls off & voila! there’s long, lean, sexy muscle ; ). I also incorporate a lot of Pilates. OBSESSED!

+ Greatest motivation to stay healthy?

To be the best version of myself.

+ Name one guilty pleasure that you could never give up.

Wine. Key lime/graham cracker sorbet. Chips + salsa. Frozen gummy bears. Oops, that’s more than one ; ).

+ Any tips to help maintain balance & moderation in your diet?

Don’t starve yourself. Moderation is the key to weight loss. Not just weight loss, but keeping the weight off…for good!
