mountain.

Well...hello, hello! 

I detest blogs that haven't been updated, and I'm very guilty of that right now. However, the past week and a half has had me running around the city like a mad person - but I loved every single moment of it. 

Between last-minute CBR rehearsals, performing, networking, helping plan and execute Divas in the City 4, taking part in year-end festivities,  I have finally found a moment to relax. 

Looking back at everything that has happened over the last 10 months,  I have made some mistakes, make some leaps and made connections I will cherish for the rest of my life. 

There are a few more things brewing in my pot - for now, I'm looking forward to taking some time off and refuelling before making my next move. Expect more happening on the writing/social media side, and then some dance and instructional work coming up in the fall. 

But first, coffee and time to tackle the mountain (and I mean it, mountain) of laundry that has been glaring at me since I got back from B.C. 

Enjoy the sunshine and expect a more updated blog this month! 

101.

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a great long weekend - don't you love that tomorrow is already Wednesday (and that means we're almost to the next weekend...)

Life has not been short of projects, classes and work since I got back from B.C. last week. If you didn't know already, my latest client, DivaGirl Fitness and I have teamed up to run a series of "how-to" articles about social media.

I'm constantly asked many little questions about how to use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and many other networks effectively for both personal branding and businesses, and I'm hoping these posts will be a good resource and reference point for interested parties.

Check out my first post here - "How to be a social media diva - Twitter 101". Stay tuned, I'll be posted my next article in June!

Have a great afternoon.

top5.

Where did April go? It's hard to believe this time next week will be another new month. 2013 is certainly flying by, but with some incredible opportunities. 

Nevertheless, April wouldn't be complete without a Top 5...here's what I'm loving this month: 

Calendar time. 

First, a little shameless self promotion. 

After many requests and inquiries about where I'll be teaching workshops, performing and emceeing, I thought it would be best to create a Google Calendar here on my blog for y'all to say updated. 

Be sweet and have a peek! 

Beyonce for H&M. 

Seriously, is there anything this woman can't do? I'm also slightly obsessed with that fantastic ocean blue dress she's donning around the 40 second mark...

City maps. 

I love these city maps that have been converted into art by CityFabric Goods. I'm personally loving the Manhattan, Paris and of course, my hometown of San Francisco ones - slightly disappointed there's not a Canadian city on the list yet. 

DivaGirl Fitness. 

I have been working with DivaGirl Fitness as a licensee for over a year performing and teaching with their entertainment division. I'll still be dancing, but I'm making a jump into their marketing team, working as the Social Media Coordinator. Make sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and many other feeds for the latest photos and updates. 

Whisky sours. 

While travelling back through the US, I picked up a bottle of Jack Daniels to add to my adult bar collection. With this touch of warm weather, I've been loving squeezing fresh lemon juice, making a simple syrup and mixing up a cockatil. 

Here's my recipe for a simple whisky sour: 

1.5 onces whisky 

1.5 onces lemon juice

1 once simple syrup 

maraschino cherry for garnish 

Speaking of whcih - it's officially the weekend in a short amount of time. I'm looking forward to kicking back and working on some fun projects this weekend. 

Happy Friday!
