Posture people! That's where it's at, especially with our youth in the age of electronics! Great posture not only looks beautiful (think Cinderella), but it can change your whole attitude. Try it- round your shoulders forward and hunch over- how's your breath? Now sit up, abs in, shoulders back, chin held high- now you're a rock star, and you can fill that diaphragm. In this vid I'm helping my little goddess fire up a few of her postural muscles, like the traps, lats, erector spinae, and a few more..Focus here is sitting upright, opening that chest and PULL🏻 #posture #pilatespower #pilatesposture #rowing #reformer #abs #lats #erëctorspinae #traps #livermore #gracefulpilates

I'm all excited thinking protein, right! Been working out, need some good healthy protein.. so I find Piri Piri chicken on @smittenkitchen and its some Portuguese recipe- I love Portugal, looks like I might have the ingredients. And since I'm all wound up about my @vitamix I decide I'll use that to make the marinade. I'm loving this cause it requires fresh parsley and I found some random sprigs out in the yard (geez, I need to water, lucky these babies held on). Anyhoo, I'm doing my thing and the hubs calls..he's bringing home take out. Listen, I'm all about spontaneity..so out comes a giant storage baggy and in the fridge goes the chicken. But guess what, the recipe says this thing's going to be even better after marinating for a few hours (or overnight).
