Just living for the moment and trying to survive in the bubble of Orange County. Working on my health & fitness has been very important to me and I am looking to encourage other ladies to do the same and share their struggles and experiences.
Being a working girl/lady/woman in California and anywhere in the world right now, is a struggle in more ways than one. Women staying connected and empowering others will always be something I stand for.
It’s important as a woman to be vocal and share our stories. This over simplified, but profound platform will show appreciation for women who relate to other women that should be recognized.
Hey Ladies!
This is a passion project! I want to feature women who empower and motivate other women on a monthly basis. These shared photos and encouraging stories have been shared about REAL women.
We all know her story. Heartbreak and tragedy struck and she continues to hold tight to her village. Most women I know are envious of her strength and and can’t imagine her pain and daily struggle. She has exposed a side that’s vulnerable in a state of sorrow and stood strong. We could all learn from how this amazing woman is handling her “wolf pack” during unfathomable circumstances.
This is Elisa! Part of the ET alumni and always been a sweet gal. I love her style and have enjoyed watching her documented travels and stories. Her favorite place to visit is without a doubt Hawaii and Mexico is a close second because she claims the ocean water is just magical in both of those places.
Her favorite thing to do to stay in shape, physically and mentally, is Pilates.
Her guilty pleasure is Mac & Cheese!
Elisa always seems to be conquering certain goals she sets. She’s said “I am constantly reassessing my goals and changing them when needed, but I want to figure out a way to make a change. I want to be a strong wife, be a loving mother and perhaps figure out a way to build a more sustainable financial system. TBD.” I love this cause it’s honest and I can relate. Hats off to this beautiful, goal setting, free spirited, and Powerful Woman!
This is Christine! Grew up in Lake Forest and still reps the neighborhood! Her favorite place to visit is anywhere tropical. She’s been a lot of cool places like Roatan, Honduras, and Koh Samui Thailand. She learned to scubba dive in Roatan, “what a breathtaking experience diving turned out to be.” She also has a soft spot for Lake Tahoe, taste of the mountains, the forest, and the beautiful blue lake all in one place. “Tahoe is great to enjoy all year round!”
In her teen years, she played water polo and swam for my (our) high school while also doing kickboxing and jiu-jitsu on the side. Her favorite sport activity is snowboarding, but has recently had to put snowboarding on the back burner due to injury sustained while snowboarding. She enjoys a short daily walk, hikes on weekends, and bike rides. For now since breaking her arm snowboarding, four days a week she does squats, lunges, and crunches to maintain her core and legs during physical therapy. Her guilty pleasure is cranking up the music, singing and getting her groove on like no one is watching to a good song ...and sleeping in on weekends a little too long. Her future goals are to become a full fledged product manager at work and take point on an entire product category. She’s like to make room for children when the time is right. She’s always looked forward to being a mom one day. Hats off to the goal setting, extreme enthusiast, and POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Rocio! I know her as Ro... she was born in Argentina and currently lives in Huntington Beach. I met her playing turf football and I love that she’s dedicated to staying fit and active. She also enjoys weight lifting.
She likes to travel and her favorite place to visit is Miami.
Her guilty pleasures are sipping on wine and eating pizza.
Ro works hard and her future goal is to buy a home and travel to both Europe and Australia. Although she likes to travel, I don’t think she’d ever leave here. “I love it here, who wouldn’t love 365 days of sunshine?”
Hats off to this on-the-go, wanderlust, POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Crystal! I’ve known Crystal since high school and I can’t remember a time I didn’t see Crystal without Ryan. True all American/ ET love story! Now years later, they are married, and raising a little stud here in OC.
She’s always been a cute stylish little hair dresser and I’ve admired her awesome lifestyle. She loves to travel and her favorite place to go is Kauai, “the green and beauty is truly insane.” Her family photos from her travels are amazing. From the beaches to the dirt bike track, they are always out and about as a family and always look like they have a great time together.
Crystal has managed to stay fit and stay in shape even though she claims she does absolutely nothing! Her guilty pleasure is French fries. “I can justify eating them...always”. I can absolutely relate.
Her future goals are to love her family to the fullest and give Mason(her son) the best possible life she can provide. She wants to be a great role model as a mother and continue to show him a happy healthy marriage so he can have the same one day. Family is most important to her period.
I just love that! Hats off to this Ride-or-die, hot momma, & Powerful Woman!
This is Michelle! I love Michelle because since the very first time I met her I knew her as a free spirit, sweet, and welcoming. I couldn’t imagine her judging anyone and I absolutely love her style, craft skills, travels, and the ways she rocks as a mom!
Michelle’s travels and photos are awesome. Her favorite place to visit is Palm Springs, especially in the Spring. It’s where she grew up and there’s tons of fun events and beautiful mid-century architecture. “The hotels are amazing, my favorite is The Parker!”
To stay healthy she practices a primarily vegan lifestyle. She does still eat fish, but no dairy and I haven’t eaten meat in over 15 years! She does a lot of juicing and eats as raw as possible. She also tries to surround herself around people who make her happy like her “significant other” Chris. “He makes me laugh non-stop!”
Her guilty pleasures are binge watching Netflix, listening to the Beatles on repeat, daydreaming about redesigning my space/house, lighting too many candles at once, reading about or watching documentaries on cults(especially if based in the 60s or 70’s), eating sauerkraut out of the jar, playing phone games, taking mini soaps and shampoos from hotels, buying flowers for herself “I do this once a week”.. So do I!!Michelle is always crafty and coming up with new ideas.
Her future goals are to continue making art in the mediums that present themself useful for the time. She’s currently interested in interior design with her friend Candace. They want to start a hotel chain of air BnB time capsule homes where they design spaces to represent a certain era such as 1980’s pink Art Deco Miami! So freakin cool!
Hats off to this innovative, crafty, free spirited, Powerful Woman!
This is Jenny! A original OC bombshell and another girl that I share numerous friends with. She now lives in Vegas and loves it!
Jenny loves to travel and has also spent some time living in New York. She loves city life but her favorite place to visit is Tulum. She went for the first time this fall and fell in love with the energy and vibes there.
She always manages to stay fit and her photos prove it. She has done so many different styles of workouts throughout her fitness journey. She was a cardio bunny back in her early 20s and completed a marathon. She got hooked into obstacle course racing in her mid twenties and managed to qualify for the Spartan World Championships. Later on she fell in love with weightlifting and competed in a body building competition. These days her favorite workouts are heated kettlebell classes, mixing functional fitness with controlled weightlifting, and getting some steps outside with her puppies.
As for guilty pleasures, she claims she may have too many to count. “Some of them would be good wine, pizza, and chocolate.”
Some of her future goals include traveling to more countries, raising a family, learning to golf, having a seven figure sales trade show, and at some point she would like to help with youth sports in some capacity. Pretty amazing! Hats off to this beautiful, athletic, & Powerful Woman!
This is Vanessa! Vanessa is a Long Beach/OC gal that loves to travel, rocks an awesome style, and always manages to stay active. Her profile and photos show a lot of the different places she’s been around the world and she puts most foodies to shame with places she’s dined. Her favorite place to be is with family, in the kitchen, cooking new recipes.
I met Vanessa playing football and she has always been very athletic. Currently she is working with a personal trainer that is teaching her MMA standup fighting. “I loveeeee it!”
Her guilty pleasure is watching Love Island UK and Australia versions.
Her future goal is to drive and see all that the United States has to offer with her own family one day. Hats off to this “autumn wind” lover, world traveling, fun hearted, POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Plamena! I know her as sweet “Pam” or the “Bulgarian beauty”. She is a mommy of two and a happy wifey who loves to travel. Her favorite place to be is with her family on the beach, or at the park. They love to go to Palm Springs and lay out by the pool whenever they get the chance.
She has always stayed in shape and makes sure to get in an exercise every day during the week, so she can relax and rest on weekends. She likes to mix it up, and doesn’t force herself because she wants to enjoy her workouts. She loves yoga/Pilates and she uses YouTube videos to do at home workouts. She loves long nature walks and Jill hikes with the pup. Her and her husband have also been running stairs at a nearby college stadium. “It’s fun because we get to race each other.” She’s blessed to have a mother that was a long distance runner in Bulgaria and was in the Euro olympics... so her genes alone make her born to run. Her fitness goal is to maintain being healthy on daily regiment. “I do enjoy my food, so I’ve got to respect balance”.
Her guilty pleasure is dark chocolate, shopping on Amazon, watching the bachelor/bachelorette, shopping for bikinis(“I feel like wearing the same piece every time is no fun!”), shopping at Target. Her future goal is to move to Florida and have a house on the beach. Her parents live there and they all miss them since moving to Cali in 2008. Her main focus are the kiddos and making sure they have future goals, bright futures, and go to good schools. Hats off to this fit, fabulous, майка, & Powerful Woman!
This is Alex! She is not only stunning but she is truly a genuinely sweet Cali girl. She loves her horses, enjoys beach days, and she sucks up the sweet life on the back bay weekly. Her favorite memories are with her family, and always involving the outdoors. Her and her family spent a lot of time in the montains at her lake house in upstate NY. They would ride horses, camp, fish, ski, and all the water sports. “So many fun and special memories!”
To stay in shape she does a little bit of everything. She’s been an athlete her whole life and has always been competitive, but now she finds herself drawn to gentle movement like pilates, yoga, weights, and walks. As well as hiking, rollerblading, amd meditation. She really does it all!
Her guilty pleasure is reality tv. She loves all the housewives, vanderpump, southern charm, 90 day fiancé...”it’s all so good lol!”
Her future goals/dreams would definitely be to create a space that helps people find health with a holistic approach. Something that rehabilitates/saves animals. Giant organic garden, body treatments...that sort of thing. Basically she would like a giant compund that promotes a healing enviornment.
Hats off to this beautiful, spiritual, & sweet Powerful Woman!
This is Debbie! Debbie is a hard working momma to two littles and loves living in her small town. She loves to be home with her family making memories with her chickens, dogs and our community events.
She admits she doesn’t do much to stay in shape except her daily duties as Mom, wife, VP of a non-profit, bath bomb business owner, vet tech with side jobs for animal care, church member, and a personal assistant job. Debbie also loves to maintain her garden and plant new things. She pretty much does it all! ...and I can admit that I’ve always turned to her with my crazy “vet questions”.
Her guilty pleasure is watching The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. (Us girls can’t help it!)
Her future goals are to continue on the road to natural and nutritious health, to continue to stay off of mental health medications and stay on the life changing natural supplements that God provided. She hopes to be blessed with another child to add to her #rodsquad and to keep growing in God's word. “He sustains me! Everything I aim for I can't do without God.”
This past year has been life changing for Debbie. After losing Faith (her daughter) in the beginning of 2020, then hemorrhaging in February, then covid pandemic in March and then healing emotionally for the rest of the year it was a lot. She started weaning myself off of all medications in the summer and it took 6 months. She can now happily say she’s all natural and feeling better than ever and God gave her the strength, nothing else.
This is Kristy! “fun Kristy” always been a
little feisty, has a lot of heart, and has overcome most the obstacles she’s faced since the time I’ve known her. She is an amazing momma to four littles now and she loves to spend time with her family and her close friends. They are always planning awesome lake and desert trips and she always has all the kids in tow. Kristy’s favorite place to be with the fam is Havasu, Powell, and home cuddled up in bed.
Along with being active with the kiddos, Kristy has always worked out and stayed incredibly fit. She loves to run and is obsessed with hot yoga. She also loves neighborhood walks with her husband and new littles. Kristy’s guilty pleasure is dark chocolate and snacking in the middle of the night on anything salty.
She is currently working hard on losing the baby weight shes gained with her newest little so she’s back to diet mode. Kristy is also working to set goals for 2021. I love that she is trying to let go of the fear of “what if’s” and she wants to teach her children to do the same. She is also looking to be more social with friends and family, and she would really love to travel more. I love her for who she is, definitely who she came from(her momma), and who she has plans to become! Hats off to this smoke show momma and Powerful Woman!
This is Laura! Laura is one of my “main girls”...
no matter how much time in between,
or how busy we get, we always try to pit stop in life for a martini together.
She is an absolute gem and is one of the hardest working women I know. She’s a free spirit, avoids “gossip”, and always marched to the beat of her own drum.
She loves to travel and her favorite place she’s visited was Costa Rica. She loved exploring the rainforests there and relaxing on the beaches. She’s also a blast to go to Austin, TX with because she went to school there!
Laura has always been great about keeping up on her fitness. She loves Pilates, yoga, and going running.
“Hmm guilty pleasure?... haha there are so many.” She loves making fancy cocktails at home and relaxing on the couch watching reality TV shows.
She’s always on the go and manages to do it with so much style. Love this beautiful, hard working, & Powerful Woman!
This is Kelsey! Kels is a beautiful new mommy and her and her little family couldn’t get any cuter! I can remember her being one of the biggest trend setters back in high school days and still rocks the cutest clothes, hair styles and her home decor is on point. She has always been stylish and really knows how to work a make up brush in the best of ways.
Currently Kelsey is a General Manager for a luxury mid rise building in Irvine. She enjoys her job, works hard, and now is juggling a lot. When she’s not working, Kels and her hubby love to travel and her favorite place she’s been was Bali, Indonesia. The water and beaches are amazing there!
Kels just had a little baby boy and he is adorable. You wouldn’t know she just had a baby cause she manages to stay so cute and fit. She does a lot of yoga, weight training when she can, and she tries to avoid sugar.
Her guilty pleasure is dark chocolate and red wine(both I have heard are supposed to be good for you, so...).
The biggest goals for Kelsey have yet to come and she is ready to tackle them head on. She is looking to start her own small business in 2021 which is very exciting and I can’t wait to see what she has in store. Hats off to this trend setting wifey, stylish new mommy, & Powerful Woman!
This is Julie! Julie is my cousin and I couldn’t be more proud to share blood with this one.
She is a remarkable human being, woman of god, and she truly is a saint. Julie has always been selfless and whole hearted, even as a little girl. Julie has a full family now and has ideas for traveling. She would love to camp out and explore the national parks out west! There are some beautiful places in Michigan where they have vacationed, especially up north near Traverse City where the water is aqua blue and crystal clear! Anywhere outdoors.
Julie’s guilty pleasure is Christmas cookies! “why are they so good? I can’t stop. Send help.”
Jules does what she can throughout the week to stay in shape and has always maintained her little figure. She loves being a part of her local Y and attending Boot Camp a couple times a week. Currently she has to settle for online classes during Covid and has made her hubs join her in the evenings a few times a week once the kids go down. She is missing her Y community and is most consistent when she exercises in a group. She also enjoys getting out for a run on the weekends. She’s always been a great runner! As long as she gets something in, it helps her mood, focus, energy, etc.
Julie currently works part-time for an adoption agency and loves meeting with expectant birth moms who are considering adoption for their baby. She considers it an honor to walk with them through the process and help match them with a family of their choosing. She is mostly a SAHM and goes to meet with clients as needed, so she loves the flexibility of the job. A perfect outlet for her right now.
Her kids are 13, 7, and 3. They all love to be outside—play football, frisbee, bike, hike—and when it gets too cold they play hockey as a family in the basement. “We have to stay active or we go crazy.” Julie also loves playing card games with her 2 oldest once the littlest goes down! A gift from Covid has been more time together for them as a family.
Hats off to this loving, beautiful mommy, cousin from heaven, and Powerful Woman!
This is Mel! Just an absolute gem of a human being and anyone who has crossed paths with her would definitely agree!
She loves to travel through work and with friends and her favorite place is New Zealand. She says, “If anyone gets the chance, run down the jetbridge & onto the plane.” She spent 2 weeks driving from North Island to South Island in an RV and every day was like waking up in a different place - volcanos, caves, mountains, lakes, black sand beaches - it has everything and because all of the food is local it is absolutely outstanding. Fun fact - New Zealand has 30 million sheep and 4.4 million people. Needless to say, she claims the lamb is out of this world. Mel is great at keeping up with her fitness and being health conscious. Intermittent fasting completely changed her body and I can’t agree with this process more. She also takes lots of hikes with Cooper(her dog), and she works the slots at the casino, and eats pizza, & drinks champagne with the recklessness of a much younger her. Haha.
Mel is also a fishmonger! Which was originally a female profession, and she absolutely loves what she does. Pre-COVID she got to travel to some of the most beautiful & remote places on the planet in search of the best, highest quality fish. Even though she hasn’t gotten a chance to travel these past few months, she feels like bringing an exceptionally nutritious protein (salmon) to market has never been more important.
Her husband & her had big plans to get married in May 2020 which obviously didn’t happen. Instead they ran off to Vegas and eloped the way her husband’s grandparents did 72 years ago in front of the very same signs they saw at the Neon Museum. When she got engaged, Her fiancé gave her his grandmother’s engagement ring, so even though it wasn’t as they planned, it couldn’t have been more special or meaningful to them. The grandparents were married for 67 years, so they are hoping Lady Luck is as kind to them as well. Love this rap battling Yankee fan for all that she is and represents. Hats off to my high rollin, sweet, newlywed & Powerful Woman!
This is Nicole! This fiery, loving, Cali red head is headed to guitar town. Can’t say I’m HAPPY to see her go but I am excited for her to pull new triggers in a new city. Nicole has always been super athletic, keeps up on her workouts, is great with new trends & styling, and she also crushes the make-up game. Most of the products in my makeup bag are because Nicole recommended. She is an incredible athlete who loved soccer and is naturally just good at any sport, including Football where she dominates. She loves animals and especially her dogs, Chip & Jordie(both rescued, one from here and one from Costa Rica).
A lot of people may not know this about Nicole, but she’s a Marketing star! With awards to prove it. She also manages to travel in her free time. Mostly planning trips with her girlfriends. Her guilty pleasure is wine nights with roomies or lounge football Sundays.
Sad to see her leave but know Nashville is gettin a good one and we will be out there to visit soon! Hats off to this independent, hard working, unicorn red head, POWERFUL WOMAN!

She follows the containers to keep her nutrition on track as well. She shares daily at home workouts that help any girl on the go. Her guilty pleasure is a Rye Old Fashioned cocktail, which is really just a pleasure.
Courtney and the family enjoy taking trips. The best place she’s traveled was The Dominican Republic. They plan on taking more trips in the future.
Her goals are to continue her fitness journey while helping/inspiring other men and women to start their own journey. Hats off to this strong, active mommy and Powerful Woman!
This is Kim! Kim is one of my best friends and it’s her birthday week. She works hard, works out consistently, and her goals are endless.
She moved to California from Cleveland. Even though she claims Cleveland, I don’t ever see her leaving Cali now that she’s been here. She is sweet and generous to everyone she encounters. Kim has truly helped me personally to judge less and be more understanding of others. She has certain views and stands behind her beliefs which also makes her very admirable. Kim is a Physical Therapist and has accomplished a lot over the years. She is now independently and successfully running her own schedule, keeps up with her girlfriends, and manages to have fun and always maintain a smile.
We have had some fun trips from camping, to Nashville, to Mexico...and we plan on many more. Currently looking to lock down a ski trip!

This is Holly Wood! Yes, her name is Holly Wood and I couldn’t think of a better person to fit her name...and it’s her birthday week! This is another gal that I’ve known since running around during high school days.

Holly loves her big Great Dane, her close girlfriends, and loves to travel. Her favorite place to visit is Zihuatanejo, Mexico because it’s gorgeous there!
Holly has always maintained a cute figure and she is a hot yoga junkie, she goes like 7 days a week! Holly loves to go out and have fun, and she also loves to chill at home. Her guilty pleasure is admitting to binge watching the ID channel.
Hats off to my fellow mini, spunky, fun and POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Jackie! Jackie is a “hot hardworking HR mommy!” I have had the pleasure of knowing Jackie for a few years now. I’ve played co-ed ball(watching her crush boys on the field), and I also was one of the first to find out she was going to be a mommy when we were headed to board in mammoth a few years back. She played softball for Chico State and has always been extraordinarily athletic.
She loves to travel and just got back from West Virginia where she went to visit with family. She would love to pack up and head to Cabo or Cancun cause she misses beach vacations. Her favorite place to be has been in her home and creating new memories everyday with her son and future hubby. Her guilty pleasure is binge watching hours worth of shows, which has been easier to do over Covid.
She tries to do a 1 hour workout a day and at least 30 min cardio a day. She also really tried to stay healthy by not eating out.
Her goals for life and fitness are to stay heathy, teach her son all that she can, be outdoors as much as they can, grow a better relationship with her significant other and better each other everyday. Hats off to this athletic, family oriented, sexy momma, & Powerful Woman!

This is Brianne! I met Brianne out playing co-ed football in the sand and she’s an absolute bad ass. She’s a great athlete, very humble, and genuinely sweet. People close to her would say she’s very level headed and her temper is never too hot, never too cold.
She is beautiful and was born in Burbank and now is living in Huntington Beach. She loves the beach and loves to travel! She desperately wants to travel to the Maldives, but absolutely loves Europe. She lived in England while studying abroad and cant get enough of Greece, Italy and France!

This is Cristina! It’s a birthday month for this babe! I had the pleasure of working an office with this gem in our early 20’s and I’ve watched her become a beautiful woman over the past decade. Not so long ago we tore up nights at the clubs, Vegas weekends, and made some memories that will be forever stitched. She’s now a hot wifey and mother to three! She’s got the cutest littles and I love on their K themed names: Krew, Kooper, & Kolt.
Cristina stays busy by being a mom but has plans/dreams to travel to Spain, Vietnam, Bora Bora, or seriously just go anywhere because it’s been far too long since she’s been on a plane! Her favorite place she’s traveled to is probably Greece, it was her honeymoon so that also plays a part in why it was her fave. She just LOVED Santorini! The smaller islands of Paros, Hydra, and Patmos were also incredible. She’s also been to Cambodia and is another place that’s top on her list. “Such a fun country to explore!”
Cristina’s guilty pleasure is definitely anything on Bravo! She’s been better lately because she doesn’t have much time to watch.
As far as fitness goes, finding time to workout with three little ones can be difficult, but she does bootcamp twice a week! Now that her youngest is starting to eat solids and isn’t nursing as much she wants to start working out early in the mornings again.
Cristina’s main goal is just to be a great mom... She feels like there’s always room for improvement in that department for any mom.
I admire Cristina as a wife, a mother, and a “girl’s girl”. Hats off to this sweet, inspirational, hot momma, & Powerful Woman!
This is Rachel! I’ve also known this babe since grade school and used to run around on the soccer field with her. She is amazing and is one of the best spin/fitness instructors in South OC! Her energy is amazing and if you ever get a chance to visit LocoCycle, I highly suggest you take her class.
She is beautiful and always on the go. She would love to go travel somewhere tropical! She loves any vacation that involves bikinis and water but she usually ends up in the mountains snowboarding(just like me).
Her guilty pleasure is Handels Ice Cream FOR SURE! “Graham central station is the shit!”
She loves lifting in her gym, starting
with heavy lifts and then she creates different super fiery metabolic finishers and train to failure. Obviously as a spin instructor, she loves a good killer class for cardio.
Her main goal is to inspire others to get in shape and figure out a good balance of training, nutrition, and fun that works best for their body and schedule.
Truly a woman who is reaching and achieving her goals and now looking to help others do the same. Hats off to this smoke show, fitness mentor, beautiful soul & POWERFUL WOMAN!

This month is her birthday month and we are celebrating with a trip to Mexico!
Jenny doesn’t have many guilty pleasures but if you had to pin one it would be mimosa mornings and watching football on the couch all day on Sunday. Her main goal is to solidify her 4am morning routine of meditating, journaling, and reading before her 5am workouts. She is up and running before most people have stepped out of bed!
Since quarantine has started she has tried to limit watching tv and picking up more on her reading. She loves to read and is always looking for a good book. She has also been getting very creative with her healthy cooking. She is always sharing her healthy recipes to her stories.

I’ve admired Maygen for her goals as a wife and mommy and I think other mom’s would be able to relate to her balanced lifestyle.
I’ve posted some of her fitness goals and tips that she has personally shared to ‘My Story’. Her motivation is keeping up with her girls, maintaining energy, and doing fun activities to be an active mom. Her guilty pleasure is TJ’s(like most of us). She has stayed in shape over the years and improves her self care goals daily.
Hats off to this beautiful momma, loving wifey, and Powerful Woman!
This is Katie! Katie is amazing and I have had the pleasure of knowing her since grade school. She’s my single San Clemente gal and we have always remained close and stayed in touch over the years. Katie truly is a beautiful person inside and out. She has always put others before herself. Biggest reason why she makes the best nanny to little ones.
She is creative, loves kids and animals, is always adventurous, and she’s always smiling. She has always fostered dogs and has never been afraid to take care of any stray animal.
She loves to drive her truck and is always up to travel to different places. Her favorite place she’s visited was probably Costa Rica. She also manages to take a lot of family trips up the coast.
She has always stayed great shape with fun hikes and chasing around kiddos as a nanny. Her guilty pleasure deals with food ...she can eat almost a whole pizza to herself in one sitting! Her goal in life is to live as happily as possible and trying to see more of the positive than always looking for the negative.
Hats off to the sweet, beautiful soul, and POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Kels! It’s also a birthday month for this sweet Libra. I love how we instantly connected when we met as girlfriends. We always laugh so hard when we are together and she loves food as much as I do.
Her style is flawless and she has absolutely exquisite taste. She’s hard working, young, and absolutely stunning. She’s a smart ass & quick witted, in the best of ways. She always manages to balance work and fun in her day to day life which is admiring.
Her sister quoted:
“Kelsey has one of the biggest hearts I have ever come across. She may be sassy but her love of animals, cooking, and yearning to make all those around her feel welcome never goes unnoticed. She is truly one of the most beautiful, both inside and outside, people you will meet.”
Love this!!!
Hats off to Kels for being a beautiful, strong, & Powerful Woman!
This is Katie! If you know her, which a lot of my friends do, she is the life of the party! It’s no secret how she claimed the nickname
“Carney-Val”. This girl is also brilliant in academics(which some of you may not know). Born and raised in Cali and went to UNLV where she studied broadcast & journalism. A known “killer” on the soccer field throughout high school and college.
Katie moved to Arizona a couple years ago and enjoys living there. She loves the outdoors, loves to golf, is very athletic, and has always maintained her cute little figure. Her guilty pleasures are watching reality T.V. & splurging while online shopping.
I’ve always admired that she will tell it like it is and marches to the beat of her own drum. She’s always had a lot of girlfriends and had the rep of a “girls girl”. She’s never been known to judge and always been a free spirit in ALL of her groups of friends.
Her wardrobe matches her personality to a T. She’s sexy chic and always striding in killer shoes. Her favorite place she’s traveled was Paris, France in 2019 with her mom to visit her older brother. She fell in love with the city, culture, & the FASHION.
Katie loves being in Arizona but she misses the beach. She’ll always be a rooted Cali girl at heart. Hats off to this smart, lively, sexy & Powerful Woman!
This is Jacq! ‘aka’ thebubblymermaid. Originally from Cleveland, she has truly embraced beach life and travels.
This little lady loves the outdoors! She has traveled some of the coolest hiking trails and camped in some of the craziest places including; Zion, the Grand Canyon, Joshua, all over the east coast... and always has her dog Lemon in tow. Her favorite place she’s ever visited was Cape Town because one side offers breathtaking beaches, and the other side is surrounded by mountains full of nature. Her camping/survival knowledge is extremely impressive. She would love to visit India on a 2-3 month excursion. She was supposed to teach in the Indian Himalayas this past summer, but it was cancelled due to Covid.
Jacq is very active and always on the go. Not only does she hike; she paddle boards, loves to swim, and has been very athletic in coed sports(flag football). Her style is the cutest always rocking little bathing suits and stylish ‘surfer girl’ looks.
Her guilty pleasure is 7-eleven coffee, she loves all the creamer flavors! I think it’s awesome that 7-eleven’s remind her of home while she’s traveling.
She’s very independent, she’s beautiful, and she’s a strong & POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Ericka! Ericka is a beautiful momma of 2 littles, livin in SoCal. This girl has always managed to keep her figure and rock the most stylish looks. Her kids are absolutely adorable and she always has them dressed as cute as her. Her fashion and accessorizing has always set the bar, making her a total trendsetter.
Recently she went through a terrible experience with losing her sister. Anyone who knew her sister knew she was a beacon amongst her family, friends, and anyone that came into contact with her. The way that this family has persevered through this time of loss is extremely extraordinary. Ericka is the daughter to one of the most successful, intelligent, POWER women I have ever met. It’s really no surprise that even through these tested times in her life, her and her family come together and truly inspire anyone whose had to experience loss.
Ericka is enjoying her time doing fun stuff with the kiddos, just recently decided to go back to school for psychology, and is always in good spirits. Over the years this girl has never failed to amaze me. Hats off to this beautiful, strong, POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Jackie! Jackie is one of my close girls and this is her birthday week!
She lives in Newport Beach and works hard throughout the week. Jackie is a kindergarten teacher! Yup...a sweet kindergarten teacher. Don’t let her fool you though because this girl loves to have a good time too, as she should.
Her stories of zoom classes with her students are so entertaining and will have you crying laughing.
Jackie loves to play co-ed flag football (where she’s one of best girls in the league), she’s very athletic, dominates in all drinking games, and still manages a weekly work out regiment.
She loves dresses, and is always styled for the occasion. Hats off to this hot little school teacher, and POWERFUL WOMAN!
This is Shawntay! Shawntay is a true pioneer and pretty much living out my dream.
She originally went to school here in California and used to crush it as a bartender in the OC. Her style has always been her own and she loves to accessorize. She moved to Colorado a couple years ago with her boyfriend and dog. She just recently moved to a small little mountain town outside of Pueblo.
She loves it cause the town has a small population and everyone is very friendly. She says their quality of life is so much better and she seems so happy now.
I’m always fascinated by beautiful women that take the leap to move away from Cali. This is another striking young woman that inspires me and opens my eyes in believing there is so much more to life in simplicity. Hats off to this stylish, pioneering, Powerful woman!
This is Lishele! Lishele is a beautiful momma to three and a loving wifey.
She always has the latest trends and her style is on point! Even matching her daughters at times. She helps keeping updated tips and tricks for fashion, skin products, health, and motherhood all through her stories.
She’s close to her faith and church groups which keeps her well connected in the community and a great role-model for younger women. Her balance of day to day life and still managing to frequent with her close group of girlfriends is amazing.
She is an innovator and she continues to amaze the people close to her. Hats off to this stylish, beautiful Mommy, and Powerful Woman!
This is Ashley! Ash is a beautiful wife, and new hot mom to an adorable baby boy. Can you believe that this girl just had a baby?
... it’s also her birthday MONTH!
She loves good sushi, brunches with her hubby, and trail hikes while traveling.
Her selflessness and dedication to her family is indescribable. You will never hear her say a bad thing about anyone. She has always managed to work hard, stay fit, and rock the cutest new trends. Her calm energy brings anyone and everyone around her at ease and she’s always smiling, even during unfathomable conflict.
Hats off to this trendy mommy, birthday girl & Powerful Woman!
This is Diana, originally from Peru. She lives in Newport Beach and she is thriving in life at the moment!
She busts her ass working two jobs and never seems to complain about the work load. She is exotically beautiful and has the best sense of humor. Working in the restaurant industry makes it harder to maintain a perfect figure, but this little lady manages very well.
She stays active kayaking or paddle boarding the back bay and she loves to try new work outs. Always planning hiking trips throughout her travels. Her style is on point! She loves Nordstroms finds and online shopping. She is always rocking the cutest dresses and styles. Her shoe obsession is comparable to mine and she loves the pumps/heels cause she’s a petite (like me).
I personally know this extraordinary young lady and I am glad to call her my friend.
Hats of to this Powerful Woman!

About Me
Self care and independence should be where goals are set. Then start figuring out what really makes you happy in staying active.
I love to run! I feel free when I run and I suggest everyone get out and try to walk/jog/run at your own pace. The best trails, beaches, mountain ranges, and country sides, are right in our backyard! I also love to to attend spin class and Pilates.
A healthy diet is extremely important and hard to balance if you are a foodie(like me). Maintaining a structured diet whether it be a daily or weekly plan is encouraged. When you realize you can’t eat what you want anymore, your life changes. Mine has changed for the better.
I am 5’1 so an ideal weight for me is important on my frame. Building muscle is what I am currently working on in order to define and tone certain areas.
Fashion
Fashion hasn’t always been my passion but I’ve definitely jumped on board over the past couple years. I love organizing and pairing outfits, trying new hair products, or face creams and moisturizers.
Dressing PER occasion is the theme in OC.
I love following new trends and love when girls have their own individual styles.
What’s your look?
Fun
I try to travel as much as possible with plans to see so much more. I like to be active and try new things wherever I go and prefer a structured, but flexible agenda.
Meeting new people in different places has always been very intriguing to me.
Having fun and embracing your destination while traveling is extremely important. How do you travel?
Remembering to enjoy your surroundings and the places you visit and also appreciating where you live is a key to health and wellness. Do you love where you live?
Embrace whatever brings you happiness while listening to others experiences.
