Some thoughts and discussions from me.
Dawnlight Benefits, My Week, and a (goofy) Favorite Things Friday Video!
Good morning!
I started this morning off the way I do every morning – with a mug of coffee and some bible time:
Since it’s so nice out (and so flipping light out so early here) I’ve been doing this little ritual on one of our patios. I love getting some early morning sunlight, and actually just read that it’s really beneficial for good sleep! Apparently it’s good to go outside and be exposed to sunlight as soon as you wake up – it jump starts the “wake cycle” thusly allowing the body to slip right into the sleep cycle when the sun goes down (which is also really late here!)
Either way – I love being outside before everyone else gets up and gets going 
So does Niko 
So it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a post of all of my current favorite things - I’ve got a lot of them right now. Wednesday’s vlog got me on a vlog kick, so I decided to make a silly little video of all of my favorite things – Fitness, Food, Beauty, and Booze edition. It gets a little silly, be warned!
But before we dive into that, I wanted to share a bit of my week with you guys. It’s been such a great week – client and fun-wise. Almost a good balance (I’m still trying to build up my client-base in the gym.) I had the day off on Wednesday from most work, and made the most of every minute! I also slept the best I’ve slept in well over a week the night before. 8.5 glorious hours.
After waking up and getting a little work done (sending emails to clients/potential clients, creating boot camp fliers, etc) I got ready and headed to down to Gregory Canyon off of Baseline to meet Lauren for a hike:
I love hiking with Lauren because we share the appreciation for a good balance of chatting it up and stopping to take in the views.
And taking selfies
Along the way, during our 1.5 hr hike, we each stopped to point out a particularly breath-taking view a couple times each.
Because, seriously. (see my recap with details of Gregory Canyon here!)
The rest of the week has included lots of yoga, walks with friends, training clients – old and new – and finally seeing my long lost love. Shane has been traveling for work (he got a new job, which is based in Los Angeles) and over the past two weeks, we’ve only seen each other once. When I got back from Blend, he was heading back out to LA (he had gotten back after I had left on Friday) and our gates were right next to each other! So we hung out for like an hour in the airport lol.
So, back to the favorite things Friday! Here’s a goofy video I made yesterday, of all of my favorite things/current obsessions/what I’m loving lately:
{goof ball alert!!!)
So back to those questions –
Have you ever been indoor rock climbing? Where and what level?
What’s your favorite body lotion?
I haven’t been indoor rock climbing in forever, but I used to love it!
Loving that view! I so need to take a trip to CO for some major hiking. Soon. More than once! I can see why you moved there, for sure!

I actually really like indoor rock climbing, but that’s where I draw the line. I don’t think I could ever actually do it outside!

Loved your vlog! I watched it all. 😀 Great favorite finds – gotta remember to look into that app! I think you know I love to climb…outside and in! It’s such a rad activity and one of those in which the perceived risk is much higher than the actual risk – if people can let that go and trust the ropes, their belayer and the rock, they’re good to go outside on rocks! Love the burn you get and the type of all-over work. SUCH a great social activity too! Maybe we can climb one day. 😀 Have an awesome weekend, Paige!

I would love that! I’m sure you could teach me quite a few things about it 🙂
Your BOX is beautiful! I love the video too. All your attempts at saying words wrong/right is too cute! 🙂 I’ve never done indoor rock climbing but a place near me is opening up soon and I’m excited to check it out. Everyone needs a little humor in their day and I feel like my attempt will be that. Oh, and favorite body lotion is The Body Shop’s Body Butter. Miracle worker!
Yes!! Love Body butter – in sats… satsuya? something (another word that’s slipping my mind lol) – the orange/tangerine one!
Wow! This could be one particular of the most hepfull blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Fantastic. I’m also a specialist in this topic so I can understand your effort.
your too freaking cute!!! that app sounds awesome! we will have to look into that more!

Cute vlog, Paige 🙂 I’ve never tried indoor rock climbing, but want to. There is a gym located in the lower level of one of our concert venues, and I’ve been meaning to check it out.
That lotion you talked about sounds awesome, I’m going to see if it’s available on Amazon. Do you have a favorite sunscreen? I’m looking for a body lotion / sunscreen in one.
I love seeing you on camera:) …it almost makes up for me not attending blend…fine, not quite.
vlogs can be so fun.
When I was younger I loved rock climbing! I don’t know if I have the same guts I had as a kid to do it again though ha.
I need more apps for my phone, I think I only have like 3 on there…like only instagram, facebook, and twitter. Um yah, I need more clearly!
Hope you had a great weekend!

I’ve decided I want to come to CO and hang out with you and Lauren! I miss you girls. 🙂 I have never been rock climbing, but I’m terrified of heights!

Great website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any
community forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get advice from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thank you!

This is the perfect website for anybody who really wants to find out about this topic.
You know so much its almost hard to argue with
you (not that I really would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a
fresh spin on a topic that has been written about for many
years. Great stuff, just wonderful!

They expect money to come rolling in for doing nothing.
If you have a knack for taking pictures you can sell your pictures to photo sharing sites and web developers.
So if you want to get started on the right track,
you may want to join a good membership site and they can hopefully help
point you in the right direction.
