ME ME ME; all about ME

So I've been crazy busy with work at Cheesecake this past week after a nice relaxing vacation back home to AZ.  


I took a trip back to AZ for a week before my birthday.  It was so nice to see all of my friends and family!  Saying bye to my best friends was really hard, but Erin, Emily and I will never lose touch.. we've gone 2 years past high school and still talk regularly.  That's what I call true friends.  It was nice catching up with everyone and kind of celebrating my birthday a little early since it wouldn't be the same up here in LA. 


Not to say I didn't have an amazing birthday here in LA!  My day started with a nice workout (as usual), Sivan picked me up for lunch and we went to Marmalade Cafe and ending with Yogurtland.  Taylor had to work all day so we took a trip down to Beverly Hills to hang out with her a little at the bake shop!  For dinner we cruised down to Santa Monica and went to La Sandia!  AMAZING mexican food and the service was incredible!  Taylor's work made us an awesome cake with all of our favorite things, including Red Velvet !  Thank you to everyone for all of the birthday wishes, it meant so much!! 

Our Cake!

Today I surprisingly have NOTHING to do and I'm so excited!  A "Lauren" day.  I had a workout and now I'm at a Cafe in Hollywood enjoying a green tea and parfait!  A nice relaxing day all to myself :)

Just Bloggin' 

Now that I've caught you up on life time for a little inspiration.  I recently got released from two jobs I was on hold for; an Addidas campaign and a Mary Kay commercial.  I get so excited to be considered then it just slips from under me.  I just have to realize that I am getting past the first castings and callbacks and to get considered after that is just another plus.

When you are so close to something, don't let go.  Keep striving for the goal you are trying to reach.  Drive is an amazing quality and with drive, you will get to where you want to be.  I wanted to move to LA and model and it took awhile (7 months of hard work) but I'm here and couldn't be more happy or inspired to be here.  

Here's some pics that I LOVE for style and free spirit inspiration.

Take a day off for YOU and just be you.

be a SHOWSTOPPER

Who do you want to be?

Are you INSPIRING? PASSIONATE? EXCITING? SEXY? FLIRTY?

Life is all about being YOU. nobody else. the INNER you.

Do you want to BE somebody? 

As I sit here getting ready for a SONY casting I had to sit and share my love for passion and drive.  I have been inspired lately with the blogs, tweets and news I have been reading about people, fashion and dreams.  Life is not about following around the "cool" ones or the "popular" ones.  By just being YOU, that's one step farther and more successful.  

 

Victoria's Secret has truly the best campaigns out there.  With the models with amazing bodies and passion for what they do.  This video by Victoria's Secret has inspired me to post and tell you to just be, YOU! *watch the link below*

What ever you have a passion for, just be... YOU.

Surprising Hot Bod

Didn't quite achieve the summer bod you wanted?  That's okay!  School is just around the corner and time to "WOW" everyone after a long break!  Having a killer body is such a boost of confidence!  My greatest advice through pictures below :)

I know I have said it more than once, but I am OBSESSED with yoga and strongly believe it does just the trick :)

If this doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will!

Slight obsession as we all know, but taking a look at this picture should be an unquestionable motivation for all of you!

Motivation is KEY.  Get a friend to run with like Heidi or even just look at these pictures!  Most people lack motivation and that is what stops them and the laziness continues.  My biggest advice. CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO. I honestly don't do ab workouts, just run and it's done me great on my abs.

Question about anything can be commented on here or through my Facebook :)

Hot Bod for a new year ;)

**Enjoy.Cheers.xxLo
