Favorite family vacation, a healthy giveaway, POPSUGAR event and more

October 7, 2016 By Ashley 346 Comments

As the work-week nearly comes to a close for most, it’s time to talk about lighthearted content. And that’s what I’ve got for you today. What else do I have? A giveaway! (Before that, I’ve got to take a serious minute to send some thoughts to my East Coast people who faced Hurricane Matthew’s rampage — I hope you are safe and okay!)

Now let’s catch up: I’m back in the swing of things at home after all of my whirlwind travel, but this weekend is chock full of activity. On tap? I’m teaching the brand new Les Mills BODYPUMP 99 release in class on Saturday morning with another instructor. Then from there, I’m off to a two-day fitness instructor training for a new format. I wouldn’t really say that I have extra time to learn a new program, but this one is calling to me, and I can’t say no. Of course, I’ll give you the low-down on that new venture soon enough. Let’s jump right to favorites, and don’t miss the healthy and tasty giveaway!

Latest favorite things 

Favorite food: ZUPA NOMA Bottled Soups and a *GIVEAWAY*

You know how everyone has been obsessed with juice for a while, well, what about soup? Not as trendy, right? Yet, recently the folks at ZUPA NOMA offered to send me a sample pack of their brand new cold, ready-to-sip soups, and even though I wasn’t all that excited about the delivery, boy was I wrong with this one. I was instantly hooked when I took my first sip. 

ZUPA Noma soups

It’s totally not like juice – it’s thicker and chunkier and feels more like a smoothie. Thus the texture is super inviting and the flavors are as well. Some are quite spicy, but you can check the spice factor on the handy label before drinking in case you’re sensitive to heat. The flavors include: Organic Yellow Pepper Habanero, Organic Tomatillo Jalapeño, Organic Carrot Coconut Lime, Organic Beet Orange Basil, Organic Cucumber Avocado Fennel and Organic Tomato Gazpacho. Such variety! My personal favorite? Organic Carrot Coconut Lime. 

ZUPA Zoma soups

And the nutritional facts are fabulous – organic, low-glycemic, full of veggies, gluten free, non-GMO, no sugar added – real and whole ingredients. The 12-ounce bottles run from about 70 calories to 150 total, with all of them being quite filling. For some reason, I feel so healthy and energized when drinking these ZUPAs. I really do. For some background on the company: ZUPA was just launched in June 2016 and is based in Sonoma, California (the NOMA part, I guess) – in wine country just a hop, skip and a jump away from me in Walnut Creek.

ZUPA Noma soups

I was such a fan, that I wanted some of you to have a chance to try ZUPA NOMA. One lucky winner (who must reside in the U.S.) will receive two bottles of each of the flavors, for a total of 12 bottles of goodness. If you want to find ZUPA NOMA for yourself, the bottles are $7 each and are available at Sprouts, individual retailers and online. Directions for the giveaway are below, so don’t miss your chance to try!

Favorite recent trip: Blue Ridge, Georgia with the fam

Two weeks ago I spent five days and four nights with my family in Blue Ridge, Georgia at a cabin in the woods. This was our second time meeting in Blue Ridge for a family vacation, and it’s a perfect destination for relaxing and spending quality time together.

Blue Ridge Georgia

Being with my parents, brother, his girlfriend, Dave and all of our collective dogs makes me infinitely happy. My brother, his girlfriend Stephanie, and their two dogs were all kind enough to host Dave, me and Rudy at their house the first night when we flew in from California. And my parents drove up from Southwest Florida so we could all converge in Blue Ridge on a Thursday, and we stayed through Monday morning. While this trip is a major fave, I didn’t take a ton of pictures and was mostly unplugged for the duration, thus the short recap.

We filled up our days with doing a 1,000-piece puzzle, playing lots of fun card games (we introduced my parents to Cards Against Humanity, and it was all kinds of face-hurting laughter), doing a little hike, renting a pontoon boat to cruise on a lake in the sun, eating lots of barbecue food (best we had was at Joe’S BBQ in downtown, so we went there twice), visiting the Mercier Orchards for a cider tasting and straight chilling. One of the nights, I even took a bubble bath and put on a face mask, because one of the bathrooms had a nice tub. Our cozy cabin was super cute too …

Other cool things to note from the trip: I didn’t wear any make-up or do my hair, and I spent the majority of the time in sweats. It was magical! But perhaps the best part of our trip outside of family time was that we didn’t get any cell phone reception in our cabin, so we were pretty much off the grid. I soaked it up! I truly love my family and we have a really good time together, and I look forward to more family fun in a couple months for the holidays. A few more pics …

Favorite recent event: POPSUGAR book party

Last Thursday night, I headed into the City for a POPSUGAR gathering held at Bespoke at the Westfield Center Mall. I didn’t even know the event space existed on the fourth floor of the mall, and it was pretty cool. I arrived just in time to see the line out the door of well-dressed San Francisco women (and a couple men) waiting to get into the book party for POPSUGAR’s founder, Lisa Sugar.

Shortly after going inside, I ran into some blog friends and met some new ones. I spent a lot of time talking to Christina and also chatted with Elyse. I love the San Francisco blogging community, because although everyone has different genres and followings, they are all so friendly and supportive. There were tons of people there, and we were all given some nice gift bags, complete with a copy of the book and a mini Must Have box. I’ve already started reading it and love it, and here’s the rest of the loot …

In addition to hanging out with fellow bloggers, I also came away incredibly inspired. Lisa Sugar started the famed POPSUGAR company, which 10 years ago was just a twinkle in her eye and now has 500 employees. Lisa told the audience about how she achieved her dreams, while keeping it totally real, and introduced her brand new book “Power Your Happy: Work Hard, Play Nice & Build Your Dream Life.”

There was also a panel of women experts who gave us more insight into how they got where they are. Overall, I left that event feeling really empowered. I think I smiled my entire BART ride home back to the East Bay. Thanks for the invite, POPSUGAR!

  • FITNESS: I got certified as a pre- and post-natal personal trainer a couple of years ago, and since that time, the guidelines have changed a little bit on what trainers and doctors should suggest to pregnant women. I explored this topic and interviewed some experts in a piece for 24Life. “New Fitness Rules for Pregnant Women.”

    I have never tried a soup like that. But I love the idea and would love to try them. What an easy way to pack a quick and easy snack or lunch. Your getaway to Georgia sounds so nice, I love spending some time unplugged every so often. My parents are coming in town this weekend so I’m excited to have them around and eat some good food of course 😉 Have a great weekend Ashley!

    Thanks so much for hosting the giveaway! I’m not a huge soup fan, but I think I’d actually like a cold, bottled version. Would love to try it!

    Your family vacay in Georgia sounds perfect! Sweats + no makeup + unplugged = total relaxation 🙂

    The best part of my week hasn’t happened yet, but it still counts, right?! Right! This weekend my husband and I are going on a staycation to celebrate my birthday on Oct. 10, complete with a 4 star hotel and dinner reservations at a place I’ve been wanting to try on Saturday and a Steelers game on Sunday. Whoo hoo! It’ll be our first night away from our 9-month old…#mixedemotions.

    There are so many good things in my life right now. My health is better and I have found a group of ladies that do volunteer work to help children in the hospital and that have had to be removed from a hostile situation. It is so gratifying to know you are making a difference where it counts.

Negativity be gone. "Think about negativity from o Negativity be gone. "Think about negativity from others as junk mail. Learn to sort your mail, and don't let that junk in the house." -- I heard this thought from @glennondoyle over the weekend while soaking up the annual @beautycounter virtual conference, and boy it spoke to me, as someone who used to get really upset when others didn't treat me well. I no longer internalize any of that junk, nor allow it, and it's freeing. And it's a lesson for us all.
.
I'm all about the unfollow for people or accounts that leave you feeling icky or less than. And I think you can use the unfollow both literally and figuratively in your life. Remember, if you've been experiencing negative energy from someone or something -- sort your mail and leave that junk in the trash, don't even bring it into your house. Have a good night, friends. xoxo -Ashley
Because focusing too much on what you eat and how Because focusing too much on what you eat and how you move can lead to a restrictive routine, and once you’ve been there and done that — you don’t want to go back to that place. Friends, be kind to yourself, fuel yourself well, and always make time for life. xoxo -Ashley
Peloton or Les Mills? This is divisive debate, bec Peloton or Les Mills? This is divisive debate, because people are rightly obsessed with each platform and tend to have strong feelings either way. Here's the deal: I think the Peloton and Les Mills platforms are both AMAZING, because they are getting more people moving and giving more people access to incredible workouts, all at a reasonable monthly price. I use both apps every single week, and I think that you can definitely enjoy both. I wrote a whole post on the blog this week about Les Mills On Demand vs. the Peloton app, and I went through everything you need to know to make a choice. You can check out that post later, but here's a top-line overview:
.
Peloton vs. Les Mills On Demand:
-The monthly price is fairly even for access to both apps and both have free trials for 30 days
-There is great variety of workouts on both apps, but @onepeloton has a larger quantity of workouts and more short workouts
-Peloton has the fun-connected-digital community vibe and trackable data nailed down, but @lesmillsondemand workouts are better tested and programmed (and they are always effective, whereas sometimes Peloton workouts leave you wanting more)
-Both apps offer "programs" with workout calendars and I highly recommend following them to get better results
-There are incredible instructors on both platforms, and it depends on your personal style which instructors will resonate with you
-You can get in a great workout on either app, but you have to make sure you're doing the right mix of cardio and strength each week, rather than choosing randomly, in order to get more fit

I'm in the camp that you can enjoy more than one digital fitness platform, especially because the price is better than the cost of one live-studio class.

Keep moving, friends! I'd love to know. Are you team Peloton, team Les Mills On Demand or other?
I teared up a little after receiving my first dose I teared up a little after receiving my first dose of the vaccine, thinking about the last year and all we’ve been through. Whether you choose to take this vaccine is up to you, but it’s a choice I wanted to make. And it’s given me a lot of relief and hope for what’s ahead. Thank you to all the health-care and front-line workers out there for all you do.
A season of firsts! Here’s to our first Easter b A season of firsts! Here’s to our first Easter back on the East Coast and in our new house. My mom drove up from Florida to spend the week with us, and this is our first holiday together in far too long. Now for the important question: What’s your favorite Easter candy, friends? For me: Not big on candy, but I’ll choose carrot cake over any other dessert Easter or not. Hope you had a great weekend, lovelies. ❤️🥕🐰
Mom and Dad’s first date night out in more than Mom and Dad’s first date night out in more than a year. And I’m pretty sure we wore these same outfits the last time we went out. But that was in San Francisco, and now we’re in Charlotte. Lots of changes in our lives over the last year, but we’ve done them all together. Cheers, friends. Pass me a martini. ❤️🍸
