Today was the day where it all went wrong and I was not making it to class.... but I pushed through, adjusted my attitude - which was more important them adjusting my schedule. I couldn't find my pass.... couldn't find the garage door opener..... Made 2 wrong turns. I started to come home and got pretty close when the  + CorePower Yoga  app saved the day. I logged on real quick and found another class starting only 30 minutes later.  Since I missed CorePower 1 I grabbed another day of Yoga Sculpt , new instructor, new moves. I never recommend doubling down on back to back classes but I am determined to make the most of my 30 day pass. Am I ever glad that I did. It was divine.

I won a super cool giveaway with  + LATHER  and  + Core Power Yoga  that included 1 month of unlimited CPY classes.  Challenge accepted. Today I jumped in head first and went with Yoga Sculpt.  Turns out you should do a few other Core Power Yoga classes, first, to prepare yourself for this class.  When muscle meets yoga, Sculpt is born. Boost metabolism and build lean muscle mass as you move to upbeat tracks. You’ll combine free weights with CorePower Yoga 2 (C2) sequencing and cardio to intensify each pose while mixing in strength-training moves like squats, lunges and bicep curls. It is recommended that you take at least one CorePower level 1 or 2 (C1 or C2) class before a Yoga Sculpt class. Missed that part.

You know I love my diffuser. Here is a great chance to see why I incorporate oils into both my yoga routine and daily life. On Saturday September 24 , starting at 8:30am sharp,  + Athleta Valley Fair is hosting an interactive workshop featuring a fabulous distributer from   + Young Living Essential Oils . This special class will begin with an overview of oils  and how they can be incorporated into your yoga practice and beyond. After, we'll move into  a 30-minute vinyasa flow which will give us the chance to experience a deepened practice. Questions? Call the Santa Clara  +Athleta  team at  408-246-6273. See you Saturday!! xoxo •Nancy-Lee

This is the reason my + FIAT USA still has that new car smell. BC Purifiers uses negative ion technology to remove dust, pollen, smoke, and PM2.5 from the air.  🚙 I simply plug the air purifier in to an exposed 12V/DC outlet (cigarette lighter) in my car and it automatically turns on and glows blue. The Purifier works continuously until it is unplugged, and I recommend always storing it in it's box when not in use. 🍕 How quickly does it work? It removes food odors within a few hours but choose to hotbox without the purifier, and it will take 2-3 days to recover. 💙  Available in several shades, I HIGHLY recommend that you visit BC Purifiers  to start enjoying fresher air and a better life, today. HURRY, KITTENS! This Silver Purifier can be yours for only $20 for a limited time only through THIS link. This is NOT an affiliate link, I am sharing a promo that I found Instagram.

Join me Sunday July 24th at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

🌱 Living consciously :: It's not only green beauty + yoga.  We must be conscious of all the decisions we make. @theraverj reports that drinking straws are one of the most found pieces of plastic during SoCal beach clean ups, so Mr. CHICsta + myself have added this collection of 18/10 stainless steel straws to our # GreenLiving arsenal. 3 to keep at home + 2 to keep on us, to be the change we want to see in the world. # SkipTheStraw I found this set on # Amazon for $ 8.95 .

Microdermabrasion Scrub by derma E : The Vegan Standard in Skin Resurfacing. Discovered at + Cosmoprof North America in 2014, this 5 star review is long over due Presenting + derma e® Natural Skincare Microdermabrasion Scrub . This award winning scrub packs a gritty punch, yet it is surprisingly gentle, never scratching or irritating my sensitive facial skin. Microdermabrasion Scrub is formulated with an exclusive crystal blend of Dead Sea Salt and Volcanic Sand that has been enriched with natural astringents of Lime and Lemon Peel . This treatment retexturizes skin with a safe-sized molecule structure: The scrub stays on the surface and it's ingredients are never absorbed.

The real question is do you prefer to be Deeply Kissed or Lightly Kissed ?! I was a bit intimidated when I first came across All Over Glow by + 100% Pure .  I was having visions of becoming a Midas Meme. Fortunately, this was and is not the case! I find All Over Glow to give a natural, shimmering sheen which is easy to blend and quick to sheer, plus I love the versatility of the vegan formulation. Apply alone or mix this luminous creme with foundation or body cream for the ultimate head to toe sun kissed glow.

Eylure: The Paris Lash Edit Discovered at  +Cosmoprof North America  in  2014,  + Eylure Official   Lashes have become my favourite faux. Incredibly light weight, the feeling of faux lashes completely disappears after the glue sets. No, really, it does.  It's truly a unique experience and the best one if you're a beginner. Each box comes with reusable lashes, adhesive and an applicator for precise placement. The Paris Editorial Kit has 3 sets of different fullness and retails for 13£. I take great care of my lashes and can wear them for up to 1 month.  Interested? @ ultabeauty always has the best deals! How do you faux? xoxo •Nancy-Lee

The Midas Touch. Physicians Formula Argan Wear in Touch Of Gold I gently turn the bottle so the oxides blend evenly as everything tends to settle. Unscrew the cap and drip 4 drops onto your finger tips and apply to the area you are looking to luminize in a patting motion, not a rubbing one. and yes, there will be a lot of glitter on your fingers, but it comes off easily with soap and water.

Hot Dog Water. Now that I have your attention, I present Dry Oil Body Spray in Coconut by  + AcureOrganics . This vacation in a bottle delivers a light as air mist that drenches my skin in moisturizing Marula + Argan oils. This scent is the real deal : No artificial coconut disgustingness. Dry Oil Body Spray provides a penetrating base of olive, coconut and Argan oils for deep level of moisturize with a balanced blend of sandalwood, sea buckthorn, eucalyptus leaf, safflower, sunflower seed, and Marula oils as humectant hydration for skin's surface.

Organic Lip Scrub in Sweet Mint by  +100% Pure . Highly requested to add to the 100% PURE assortment, this vegetarian lip scrub is a blend of organic brown sugar, beeswax, castor, olive + coconut oils, essential oil of peppermint, rosemary + calendula extracts and a sprinkle of Stevia.  Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth.

Posey . My personal favourite Pot Rouge by  +100% Pure   . This vibrant pink only looks intimidating. Pot Rouge applies sheer + the buildable coverage gives you control of colour. Worn alone or as a base to your favourite 100% PURE pressed Powder Blush, Posey provides a pop of pink in an all-natural, plant based vegan formula. While the blush is TDF, the glass vessel is a total PITA :: The jar is small, on purpose, to prevent the product from dehydration + dry-out, making it tricky to reach Posey properly. Solution? 100% PURE 's Base Brush applicator :: I simply swivel it in the jar, apply Posey to my cheeks, and blend with my finger tips. PUREfecto!
