I am SO not a morning person! Once I am awake I take my dog for a mini walk, make a cup of tea (I don\u2019t like the taste of coffee), get ready for the day, go to work at my 9-5, hit a spin class, get home and make a healthy dinner (my favorites are in the crock-pot). After dinner, I take a shower, start working on my blog posts for the week, make updates to my website, post on social media, spend time with my husband, meditate, and fall asleep.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>I was born<\/strong>\u2026 and raised in Campbell River, British Columbia. When my parents were working, I spent my time at my grandparent\u2019s house on the beach. Those are some of the best memories I have as a child!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>My favorite thing about Arizona\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>is everything, but mainly the sunshine. If I could live there full-time that would be my dream come true!\u00a0 The sun always brightens my mood J<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m listening to\u2026 <\/strong>anything and everything. When anyone rides in my car and hears my playlist they think I\u2019m crazy.\u00a0 It goes from really twangy country music to heavy rap to classical to the latest hits. I also enjoy listening to motivational podcasts when I get ready in the morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>My family\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>is amazing! I sometimes feel like we could have our own reality TV show like \u201cKeeping up with the Kardashians\u201d. Our lives are all a little crazy, but I wouldn\u2019t change it for the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Kanye West. I know, crazy! I just love how passionate and driven he is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>One thing I cannot live without\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>my Chihuahua, Nando.\u00a0 He is always wagging his little tail whenever I\u2019m having good days, bad days, and he curls up with me even when I\u2019m sick.\u00a0 He comes everywhere with me!\u00a0 Yes, I\u2019m like Paris Hilton with my dog in my purse or in my sweater.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>When I was younger, I wanted to be\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>an ophthalmologist. I quickly realized part of the job is poking needles in people\u2019s eyes and instantly changed my mind!<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>those who follow their dreams \u2013 especially when it\u2019s a huge risk.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The one person who motivates me is\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>my dad!
