I don't believe in depriving myself; it's an unhealthy state of mind.

I became completely obsessed with body oils while pregnant.

When you're not experiencing your food, that's when it's harder to pay attention to when you're full, and that's what being satisfied really means.

Generally speaking, I love a workout that includes stretching and toning exercises for legs and core on the mat paired with ballet-inspired cardio and Barre exercises to get the heart rate up and take the results to the next level.

There's no feeling like performing. It's magical, it's so rewarding, and it just feeds this special little part of your soul.

I love white linens and walls mixed with antique Victorian furniture.

I love how chic yet simple ballet style is for everyday dressing.

I love berries, greens, and salmon.

It's not realistic to say never eat sugar, but I try to limit my sugar as much as I can to buckwheat honey and dark chocolate, which I love.

I love nuts and popcorn with olive oil and sea salt.

I've been so fortunate to have had such a healthy, easy pregnancy and have been incredibly active the entire way through. My favorite part is feeling the baby move - but the entire process is such a miracle.

A few times a week, I'll put on La Roche-Posay's Active C Facial Moisturizer. That's probably my favorite cream. It clears up my skin a bit and provides more of an anti-wrinkle element.
