Today I posted a question that I often get from clients of mine regarding exercise  and joint pain. I always have patients coming in saying things like "Boy am I glad to see you becuase my body is killing me." There's nothing like a good massage for an aching body.

Keep checking back for more updates and additions. I think I have gotten through the bulk of my schedule and I will be around more to advise on topics within my area of training.

Best of wishes.

I know I have been missing for a while now, but now I am back and am ready to get back into action. For whatever reason my dsl connection was lost and they had to send a tech out to my apartment to fix it. You would think that they have enough technicians to get them out to your house faster, but apparently they do not.

I had to wait 5 days without Internet at my house; do you know how horrible that is? I guess you do not realize how useful the Internet is until you can no longer access it. All of the available appointments were out of whack with my schedule so that is why I had to wait such a long time.

I am out of here for now, but I wanted to let you all know what had happened so that you didn't get worried or anythign like that : P

Back to Blog Soon!

I have been so busy the past couple of days. I haven't really had time to do any of the fun stuff I like to do.

But how can I complain, when bussiness is going great. Yesterday I didn't get into bed until about 12:00 am. That is so late for me. haha I know I must be old!

Today Hasn't been any slower then yesterday. Im going to have to do Yoga and a little meditaion before bedtime tonight. It really does help me alot, when I feel like everything is going to fast and I can't slow thing's down.

So today is a short blog day! I will fill you in on more tomrrow. Have a Great Day! and hopfully everyone will enjoy their sleep as much as I will tonight!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and were able to catch up on some relaxation time. I decided to do a little extra work to earn some extra spending cash for the month, but I also reserved some me time.

I entered in a bunch of new products for purchase on this site. If you are interested you may find them at the top of the page under shop. I am planning on entering more, but that is all that I had time for.

The candles that I listed are awesome; you won't believe how fragrant they are and not to mention they last for so long. They might seem a little pricey, but these are discounted and are worth every penny.

Feel free to contact me if you have any trouble purchasing or browsing the items. I am still working on it, but hope to have it all completed by the end of the week.

Best Wishes,

Lea M.

I'm not sure what it is, But I woke up this morning in the best mood ever. Today is going to be a great day I can already tell.

I have been pretty busy these past couple of months and when I get a chance to do nothing I'm all over it. This weekend I think I'm going to go out dancing. I haven't been in for ever and I use to go all the time. Not only is it great exercise, but it is so fun to get all dressed up and go out to have a few drinks with your friends.

As for Sunday, I think I just might go to Ikea. I love that store so much; you can get so much stuff for really cheap and since I have a spending problem Ikea is totally the place for me. I just feel like my apartment is still so bare and it needs a little something extra. I know the girls agree with me.

Have a Great Weekend,

Lea M.

Today has been a nice day so far...I guess I am slightly surprised. I went to bed in a grumpy mood and I am not even certain as to why, but regardless I woke up in a pleasant mood. Maybe it's becuase I actually had time to sit down and eat breakfast. I really do think that it helped.

I did absolutely nothing last night lol. I was planning on meeting up with a few friends, but in the end I just wanted to stay home and crash. I popped in a movie, made some popcorn (lite, don't worry) and fell asleep shortly after.

I'm not sure why, but I just started to feel grumpy and decided that I didn't want to see anyone lol. I get like that sometimes haha; perhaps it was the clouds that were hangin around my apartment.

It's almost the weekend...yay!

Lea M.

How are you doign on this fine Tuesday morning? From the title you can guess it, I called in sick yesterday because I just couldn't get myself motivated for the day. I wasn't sick, but I absolutely could not get myself to fall asleep last night. I must have only had 3 hours altogether and it just wasn't enough.

So here I am at home feeling somewhat guilty that my boss thinks I am sick when really I am just tired. How can I go to work if I can't even keep my eyes open?  I'm a sight to see right now let me tell ya; I have bed hair and I'm in my pj's eating a banana while posting a blog. At least I am being productive right?

I posted an article for your enjoyment as well; check it out if you get time. I think it's a good idea for me to go lay back down now; the only reason I got up in the first place is because I had to pee and while doing so felt a little hungry. I figured I'd kill some time in between and say hello to you fine people out there.

Good night everyone!

Lea M.

I hope you're all having a great Friday. So far mine has been going by quickly and I can't complain about that.

This weekend should be pretty fun for me. Since I wasnt able to have a BBQ for the Fourth of July I decided to do so this weekend. The weather has been so nice lately that it would be a shame for me to stay inside.

As for Sunday, who knows? I think I might drive to Santa Cruz for the day. Like I said,  the weather has been great and I really want to take advantage of it. Yoga / tanning / the beach...sounds like a pretty good Sunday to me.

Best Wishes,

Lea M.

Most of us were blessed with the luxury of having a paid National Holiday for the Fourth of July and it couldn't have come at a better time.

I have been so stressed with work, bills, and just everyday life in general. I slept pretty much the entire day until I woke up becuase of major hunger pains. After that I slep a litt more and the decided to clean my house because I haven't had time to do so.

After all of that I felt so much better; too bad no one was around to give me a massage huh? Ah well...maybe some other time I guess : )

I got to watch the fireworks on TV; i thought that I might have been able to see them from my window, but of course they were blocked by a tree. Just my luck!

I hope your Fourth of July celebrations were fabulous.

Best Wishes,

Lea M.

Since I did a lot of this during the weekend I figured that I would share some helpful advice on meditation.

I have found it to be the best way for me to fully relax. I have been meditating for about 4 years now and It really does help with the stressful events that can occur on a day to day basis. 

When you have to much going on and you feel a little overwhelmed, it is the perfect way to center yourself. Also I find that if you meditate before and after a massage it makes the entire experience much more beneful.

I went ahead and posted an article about medidtaion and how it can help you. Please let me know what you think and always feel free to ask me any questions or leave comments.
