Exercise and Dietary Challenge
Have you ever embarked on an exercise and dietary challenge? Typically I am a Tone It Up (TIU) girl, but this October a new opportunity presented itself. One of my favorite trainers offered a 29-day exercise and dietary challenge that I knew I had to be apart of. Each Saturday she would give us what our challenges would be for the week, and throughout that week we’d accumulate points based on challenges we completed. I cannot believe how fast October went by, as this is our very last week with the challenge. In case you’re up for the challenge, I thought I would share what we are doing this week. I will be posting the challenge on my Instagram if you want to follow along!

10 burpees
Baked eggs in an avocado
Tuesday
15 plank up downs
2 servings of yellow fruits or vegetables (hello squash!)

Hudsonville Pistachio Ice Cream
this is a sponsored post. all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Have you heard the news? Pumpkin spice may be nice, but there’s a new ice cream flavor for fall and it’s one you’ll want to try. Hudsonville Ice Cream decided to break away from the trend and release a limited edition flavor for fall that will quickly become your new essential… Pistachio. That’s right, Pistachio ice cream has hit the shelves of your local grocery stores for a limited time and it’s packed with plenty of flavor. While I absolutely love pumpkin spice, I think they may have just brought me over to the “dark side” as I am obsessed with pistachio ice cream in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. Aside from pumpkin spice, what’s your favorite fall flavor?

Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.
Cameron Mackintosh’s brilliant original production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA continues performances at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London and in its recording-breaking run at the Majestic Theatre on Broadway and many other cities around the world.

Review: CHICAGO Musical
He had it coming! Did you know, CHICAGO is now the #1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history! I saw the show on Tuesday, and it\’s showing no sign of slowing down. If you\’ve been following for awhile you know I love Broadway performances and have attended my fair share of them. CHICAGO was nothing like any I have seen before. This was my first time ever seeing CHICAGO on the stage, however I already had a love for the movie that came out in 2002 with Renee Zellweger. This performance definitely was not like the movie at all. Costumes never changed, the orchestra was on stage and they\’re seating acted as a prop, the only actual props ever used were chairs. You could tell that this show was an original musical, as performances have completely changed and evolved to a whole new level. If you want to see a classic great I highly recommend grabbing tickets to Chicago. If you\’re in the Detroit-area you can catch the show now through the 21st of October.
