Live, Love, Laugh !!

Many people know that this is one of my favorite sayings!! It is sort of my motto . I was thinking about it the other day and wondering what it really means to me.

Live....To me this means experience your life. Follow your dreams and don't let anyone tell you what you "Should do". I am a true believer that anything and everything is possible if you want it and work for it so give it all that you have and really LIVE!!!!!

Love.....When I think of love I think of how I feel about other but also how I feel about myself. I think loving yourself is the most important thing we can do for ourselves. Loving yourself teaches you how to love someone else. It also shows the world that you are a worthwhile person and worthy of there love. In life we are all looking for acceptance but remember to accept and love yourself first

Laugh....Life is crazy and no one goes through it without mistakes so Laugh and lighten up. Be able to laugh at yourself and show the world that the most perfect thing is to handle imperfection with grace dignity charm and laughter. Laugh and enjoy your life and your journey!!

So LIVE, LOVE and LAUGH because.....Petite Girls Rock!!!!!

Staying on track on the road

January has been the month for travel for me! I love to travel but as with everything it comes with some challenges. On the road you have to more focused than ever and more organized. I find that the first steps of organization come when you pack for your trip. I try and stage what I need for every appointment/shoot and pack them in order. So that your not digging through everything for every shoot. I also make sure to bring a small bag with me to carry things for each appointment so that your not lugging everything to every appointment!. This all takes some planning but I find it to work out well. Understanding completely the expectations of each shoot helps tremendously in and out of town but is imperative when traveling!

Another challenge on the road is food. Sitting in airports doesn't always provide the best food options. I always pack protein bars with me and have them with me always. They have saved me many, many times. When you do have time to eat try and load up on veggies and lean protein that will sustain your energy.  Since it isn't always possible to eat multiple balanced meals everyday on the road make sure the meals you do eat are full of healthy nutrients that will stay with you. This isn't the time for fast food and junk. I know that sometimes it is seems easier to just grab something however it will leave you even more exhausted and vulnerable to sallow complexion and and illness.

Staying healthy is sometimes difficult stuck on planes with hacking passengers. Scheduling in regular exercise while traveling and regular sleep helps keep you strong and able to fight off illness from people in close quarters. I know we all do this when we are home but it is more important than ever to do it while away. It is tempting to take your spare time to be a tourist but when your traveling for work you need to keep in mind what your job is and schedule yourself accordingly. Giving your self every chance for a healthy and productive trip. Keep strong, keep healthy and remember.......Petite Girls Rock!!!!!

LA...trip recap

I am home from LA and what a great trip. It was very productive not only in shoots but to also meet some amazing people. When I landed I headed straight into a meeting with a potential manager. The meeting was great and he invited me the next day to my first Hollywood party, which I attended on Sunday afternoon. At the party I met so many nice people some of which he also managed and I look forward to seeing more of them in the future.

Next on the agenda was a shoot for a magazine with an amazing team. That shoot got cut very short due to some building renovations that the photographer was unaware of. We were was very disappointed as we knew we hadn't shot enough for me to be in the running for the cover and spread that we had hoped for. We needed to reschedule but I was only going to be there a few days at this point wasn't sure if that was going to be possible. Thankfully it did work out and we finished the shoot on Monday Night. (keeping my fingers crossed for all of us that worked hard on this shoot)

Sunday evening I spent with my new Sexercise Family were we had time to get to know each other in person. It was so nice to meet everyone and can't wait to see them again . The team is awesome and so is the company, Thanks again to everyone who helped make it possible for me to be a team member during the online voting!! It is going to be to be an amazing journey with this young company and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

Monday came quickly where I headed to Malibu beach for a shoot with a male model that went amazingly well. Always a little anxious when planning so far in advance for a location shoot at the beach in January. I am happy to report it was beautiful and everything worked out well. We finished up as the sun was setting and got some amazing images! Headed straight to my make up Magazine shoot, which went off without a hitch. Tuesday morning brought me into an additional meeting right before I headed back to the airport to head home. A fast but productive trip and look forward to many, many more in the future. I am working hard to make 2012 the best year ever by staying focused and strong and remembering that.......Petite Girls Rock!!!!!
