people are brands too: meet the awesome @curtissantiago

I’m working on a piece about personal branding and I came across this awesome video by Scion Canada. The guy in the video is Curtis Santiago, he is a friend of mine and I always keep my eye on what he’s doing. Whether it’s painting, making music, his unique style, or positive attitude, he’s someone you want to be around. It’s clear by this video that Scion is embracing the connection they find between their brand and his personal brand. As a creative person who really likes connecting with cool brands, this makes me happy. Enjoy! The premiere of Life in a Day was last night at Sundance. Remember the youtube video anyone in the world could submit content to in the summer? I was in there somewhere. This video is pretty neat too. I’ve got a session at The Motion Room this afternoon. Ready to work up a mad sweat. Taking Beans aka @itsbrownbarbie with me. Fun, fun!

just call me the RE-ENERGIZER bunny

This workout thing is starting to change my life. Who knew I would ever be saying this? It must be a new year or something. Just LOOK at that happy face. In my most recent trip to The Motion Room I did the Re-Energizer Bootcamp. I’ve never been a gym-rat. I prefer Gym Bunny anyways. [insert cute smiley face] Boot camp sessions at TMR are at 6AM (Before Work) LunchTime (12noon) Afternoons (4pm) Late evenings 8pm or pre-arranged scheduling. It’s fun, you get shown what to do like this: Then we do it: HUZZAHHHH!!!!!!! Boot camp is done in a group & the Starter Packages are with personal assessment/direct one-to-one training. After the first two sessions of Boot Camp—you move into a Starter Package. This seriously turned my arms into burning man the next day but whatever. It’s good. I am strong! REALLY HERCULES-HULK HOGAN-ONE-ARM-PUSHUP-STRONG. Beat that. This is incredibly hard. You have to move your feet back and forth in the stirrup thinger while in a plank. OMG get ready for my abs to bust right out. This ball has sand in it and is surprisingly heavy. Why am I always smiling? This is supposed to be hard work. Crazy girl. There’s a bunch of stations we rotate through in 30 sec, 45 sec, 60 sec intervals. By the end you are hitting the floor but you feel awesome. AWESOME! The sell different sessions in 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks. at 2 or 3 x per week. As a scheduled gym, you set/select your timeslots upon purchase. Boot camps also includes an intro session to the starter package and nutrition sessions with their holistic nutritionist. Hookin’ you RIGHT up to get your body in shape baby. I whip my hair back and forth. Yeah I do.…
