WCW: Camryn Mackey

Camryn Mackey is such an empowering young lady to be around.

She oozes positivity and support. You can usually find Camryn on the yoga mat at CorePower Yoga where she teaches men and women to find their inner peace (as well as getting their butts kicked).

WCW: Kelsey Griswold

Why we are crushing on Kelsey…

kelsey

Kelsey is a beautiful woman inside and out.  She also happens to be a beauty queen. Kelsey was Miss Oklahoma 2013.  She competed for the Miss America crown and walked away 2nd runner up!  Congrats Kelsey!  Kelsey is now in Los Angeles pursuing her dream of acting.  You can catch her as Dominique Brown in FX’s American Crime Story.

You keep an eye on more of her projects on her IMDB.

Kelsey is a ray of sunshine!

When she sees you she immediately runs up and gives you a hug with a big smile on her face.  She also has a very heartwarming story.  Instead of me telling you everything she has overcome, I’m going to share a video from Project Hope Worldwide.  A non-profit organization Kelsey has partnered with to share her story of when Hope Stepped In.

What type of activities do you do to stay fit?
I work out at the gym pretty religiously, but I LOVE soul cycle (purifies my soul), yoga, and hiking the Tarzana trail.

What do you think is the key to a healthy lifestyle?
I think it is all about the balance of mind, body and soul. Also, everything in moderation!

What’s your favorite asset?
My smile…is that corny?

What is your LEAST favorite workout? But why do you still do it?
I think running on a treadmill can get pretty monotonous, but I find it to be rewarding if I really give it all I’ve got.

If you had to choose any healthy meal or snack what would it be?
Cake. Just kidding. I have an addiction to protein so if I have a protein shake with chicken I am pretty set to go…that is so disgusting now that I think about it.

We all have cheat days, what’s your poison?
Cake. Like…cake.

What inspires you to be healthy and active?
My mom was sick the majority of my life, and after she passed away when I was 15 I realized I had to change the way I lived right now or my body could be suffering the same way hers did. Ultimately, I had to make this change for myself and to gain sense of stability in what can be a chaotic lifestyle.

What is your best beauty secret?
I never ever go to bed with make up on…even if that means keeping makeup wipes by my bed. Also, having an esthetician you trust. Mine has changed my life in so many ways other than my skin, and has been a huge part of building my confidence.

If you could give girls any advice about loving their bodies what would you say?
People have opinions of what is beautiful, but I decided a long time ago that I have better judgment about the way I look than anyone else does. When I look in the mirror, I decide daily that I like what I see. It took me a really long time before I actually believed it, but after many ups and downs, that thought process has become second nature.


 

Kelsey’s Recipe:

Nice Cream!! Take 3 bananas and cut them up and put them in the freezer until completely frozen. Put the pieces in a blender with a cap full of almond milk and a dash of vanilla extract and blend! It’s the healthiest ice cream in the world! I like to decorate it with coconut shreds and cinnamon!


Wishing you Health, Wealth & Happiness,

WCW: Women Making Strides in Male-Dominated Sports

In honor of Super Bowl week, I decided to post about three influential women in male-dominated sports. I’m admittedly not a huge football fan, but I always have fun watching the Super Bowl with friends. After writing about Hilary Knight earlier this year, I couldn’t help but think about how insane it is that most sports are still dominated by men. In order to change this, people need to start watching professional women’s sports that are currently available, like the new NWHL. In order for these teams and leagues to be created for women, courageous female athletes had to fight for the right to play professionally. Women also have a much harder time landing any jobs in sports. When an influential female athlete like Danica Patrick comes along, she is often sexualized because that is the only way the predominantly male fan base will accept her.  I chose three women who have changed the sports world for female athletes and fans.  Continue reading “WCW: Women Making Strides in Male-Dominated Sports”

WCW: Amy Poehler

Today we are featuring one of our favorite funny girls, Amy Poehler.

Amy arrives at the 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on January 30, 2016 in Los Angeles, California.

Why might you ask? Well, this wonderful lady has created a forum to promote a positive personification of oneself. It’s called… Continue reading “WCW: Amy Poehler”

WCW: Katy Erin

Why We’re Crushing on Katy Erin: 

I have known Katy for almost 2 years now (although it feels like much longer)! The thing that inspires me most about Katy is her unwavering ability to hold on to her dream and do whatever it takes to achieve it. She never lets fear or uncertainty get in her way. She is also one of the most loyal, committed friends I have ever had. She is there for you when you need her and is super easy to talk to and open up to. She is always there to support her friends in any and every endeavor (including this blog)!

Katy Erin is an actress, writer and model. It might sound crazy, because it’s been less than 2 years, but I have actually seen her grow and progress considerably in all of these areas. To be able to work on just one of these crafts, and improve in just a year is something amazing, but to progress considerably in all 3? Pretty incredible. I love that even with all the time spent on her job and her craft, she is still always up on current events and genuinely cares about the things that need to change. She uses her art to make a difference in the world and fight for what she believes in. A lot of actresses and models are afraid to stand for something because they want to please and appeal to everyone. She doesn’t just stand for what she believes in, she stands up and fights for it!  Continue reading “WCW: Katy Erin”

WCW: Jennifer Greene

Why we are crushing on Jennifer Greene…JenniferGreene

Jennifer is the absolute best.  She is an East Coast transplant working on her career as an actress in Los Angeles.  She is one of the most proactive individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting in LA. Not only that, she is extremely hardworking with anything she does.  She is always on the grind, working to make her dreams come true.  Jennifer shows the same commitment to her health and fitness as she does with her work ethic.

WCW: Aimee Elsner

Why We are Crushing on Aimee Elsner…

Aimee2

I had the pleasure of meeting Aimee over the holiday when I took a trip to New Jersey.  We were at a high school reunion for our significant others and we instantly became friends.
Aimee is a yoga teacher in Stamford, Connecticut.  Right now she is challenging herself to 100 handstands in 100 days (#100x100handies).

WCW: Adriana Becerra

Why We’re Crushing on Adriana: I met Adriana during our Pilates teacher training. When we finished the program I had the pleasure of working with her! As a teacher the first thing you’ll notice is Adriana’s warmth and kindness towards her clients. She teaches with her heart. This does not mean she doesn’t kick your butt! It simply means she takes the time to get to know the person in front of her and do what it takes to get them to where they want to be! The other thing I love about Adriana is her eagerness to learn. Adriana is never done learning. She truly loves it and she isn’t afraid to ask questions to become the strongest, most effective teacher possible.  Continue reading “WCW: Adriana Becerra”
