    Swimming is not only an excellent form of fitness, but it is also almost a San Diego way of life.  Having so many opportunities in southern California to participate in water sports makes adopting swimming into a bridal fitness regime quite easy.  Having a chance to get out in the fresh air and sun can do wonders for elevating and maintaining a positive outlook in stressful times.  Regular fitness activities build endurance, help with improving and maintaining muscle strength and do not have the same intensity on the joints as running. Many people opt for swimming as a more forgiving form o...

    This weekend I am braving the yearly search for a bathing suit. I've been scoping out a couple of my favorites online this week and I have landed at the same place I always do: The Crew. I am so predictable when it comes to suits. Colors: blue, grey and white. Pattern: stripes, polka dots or anything that resembles them. Fit: comfortable but still fresh and young. Style: classic. How many suits do I have that already have polka dots on them? It's not worth the embarrassment of sharing. But do I stop looking at them? Of course not. Each year they are just different enough to call m...

    Proper trash the dress still kinda scares me. Don’t get me wrong I love the results but I’d still be so scared of getting into a lake in my dress! Newlywed Mindy has allayed my fears a little bit, you never know, maybe I would get into a lake in my dress! We did it next to and under a road near my house and finished off with me getting in the lake down the street just as the sun was setting over the mountains. It was pretty much the most fun thing I have ever done and I wish I could trash my dress every day! (I actually could do it again because I washed it in the bathtub, picked the lak...

    How amazing is this secret swimming hole? The water wasn't "warm" but it wasn't as cold as the Pacific, which is what we're used to since we live in So. Cal. We spent all day in the water yesterday....

    Here is another unique Trash the Dress series of photos courtesy of http://freetoflaunt.com the website brainchild of Kyle Perison. In his view “Trash the Dress” is not a celebration of destruction rather the art of creation. I happen to agree with him. I know some people out there think Trash the Dress is a wasteful act, but after seeing some of these images I’d say it is very much an artistic expression that is not readily viewed. This photo series features Annie at the Royal in Playa del Carmen. These photos were taken at the resort’s diving pool where the photographer went to the b...

    Filed under: FashionI find it amazing that the very activity I did all summer as a child is one of the best ways to burn calories and build lean muscle as an adult. Swimming is a fantastic total body workout, because you use muscles all through your core, both arms, and your legs. You might not feel like you're working up a sweat because you're in the water, but trust me -- swimming at a good pace can burn 1,000 calories an hour.The main complaint I've heard from people about swimming for fitness is that it's boring. True, unless you have a fancy underwater i-pod, it's probably just you and th...

    Summer is  approaching (not quick enough in dreary, rainy Seattle) and we thought a good way to hasten it would be to talk about honeymoons! One of the best things about honeymoons is relaxing with the one you love, and what better way to relax then on the beach or by the pool in a fabulous swimsuit! SwimSpot has a huge selection of swimsuits by some amazing designers–all of them affordable and super cute. They have so many styles, colors and designs to choose from you will not be able to pick just one. They also have a super cool feature called bikini builder where you can mix and match sw...

    I was thrilled when Twin Lakes Golf & Swim Club asked me to help with their upcoming tasting for all of their weddings in the 2009 season. I designed menus for each couple to select the items that they want, complete with an area to take notes. I also designed table numbers and other signs for the event. Wish I could be there to taste some of the items on the menu - yummy!...
