Every Thanksgiving I put together a little gift to say thank you to my clients. I am so grateful for each of them. They inspire me, motivate me, teach me and make my days rich with connection. I am truly grateful for each hour that I get to spend with them.

This year I did something sweet, yet calorie free.

I made an all natural Brown Sugar Body Scrub. It does wonders for your skin.

1 cup sugar, 2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup sunflower oil and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.

Come do Pilates with me. I will give you treats 🙂

I also gave out notes and tea bags to my classes – reminding them to take a little time to slow down and relax during the holidays.

I see it as my job (and pleasure) to remind each of you to take care of yourselves. Yes I’m talking to you, my virtual clients that are far away too. Take 5 minutes this week to sit down with a warm mug of tea and DO NOTHING. If anyone asks, just tell them you’re Pilates trainer told you to.
