Best Summer Feeling







My favorite season of the year hands down is summer!! I love that during the summer you have the opportunity to chill outside without having to worry of the rain, cold or wind ruining a day.  I love spending an entire day in sandals, shorts and a tank top. One of the best feelings in the world is being in water, ideally with only my head above water to catch some air. Summer brings this opportunity. Whether its at the beach, pool or simply getting wet with the water hose, you can only really enjoy this feeling during summer. 

  If it was possible to be an actual mermaid and spend endless hours underwater I would be the first to do it! Nothing says summer like a hot day covered in water. I absolutely love that feeling. I find that being in a pool of water is so liberating. You can do things you wouldn't normally be able to do.  Water allows me to do back flips, handstands and cannon balls, something I would never be able to do in dry land. Swimming in a pool of water makes me feel young and reminds me of those long summer days when we would swim in a relatives pool or have a water balloon fight with the neighbors.   Can you tell I don't want summer to end? Here's to an endless summer and mermaid dreams!

Runyon Canyon










The following pictures are from the Mulholland Scenic Corridor, near Runyon Canyon. 




 I woke up at 5:30 a.m. on a Sunday to go on a hike,  this is very unlike me.  I LOVE to sleep! Runyon Canyon is a popular hiking trail in Los Angeles and has a tiny parking, so if you want to a parking space you need to beat the crowds and arrive extremely early. This hike was not as difficult as I expected, there was only one section that was very challenging because it was up hill and I honestly felt like I was struggling to breathe. I felt like I I had forgotten how to breathe and needed some sort of breathing tutorial! Once I reached the top I felt accomplished and like throwing up a little bit but I survived and the rest felt like a breeze.  

p.s. Sorry for another hiking post, I'll try to mix things up.

Lately...



I've been going on hikes every Sunday for the last month and half. I was actually working out during the week to be in shape for our Sunday hikes. I was doing this because I didn't want to feel like I was dying  and need a chopper to come and rescue me during our hikes. Summer came along and heated things up, and weekday workouts ended. I have an elliptical in my garage, which is a great work out but with the heat lately there is no way I can work out in there. I need to stay on track with this work out high and find a way to continue to work out in this heat. My best bet would be to wake up early and work out before the mercury rises, but waking up early is probably the hardest part of my day! I need help, suggestions will work too!
