Fluidity At Home Barre Giveway - Let's Dance!

BB received no money honeys for this post, pero oh the sweet memories!!!

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Once upon a time Babushka truly was a dancer.  Quee?? JU SO FONII!!!

Ok Si, BB never looked like the dancer above, but she was a dancer. On stage. De veras.

Also de veras is that few exercises give us the posture of dance and the grace, and now we can practice this in the privacy of our homes if we so choose, without using a lot of room.  

Read on and see if like Babushka you don't want to start the music already.

Background on Fluidity

"What sets Fluidity apart from other barre workouts where the barre is mounted on the wall, is that the unit can be adjusted to individual height for ideal body alignment. Being adjustable and portable is ideal for both front & back exercises, since it is not against a wall and is easier to align your spine. In addition, the workout helps strengthen pelvic muscles to help with incontinence (a real issue for many women).

The founder Michelle Austin who trained with Lotte Berk found this method to help with many health issues, as you are helping to self-correct when training in your own body alignment. The beauty benefits are endless...perfect posture, a long & lean appearance, and sculpted abs to name a few. The home unit is portable, easy to travel with , making it easy to take on any road trip or vacation. It folds up and can be easily stored.

Also to help you get the most out of your barre workout, they have many studio classes rolling out around the US, including Los Angeles, New York, North Carolina, Washington DC/ VA area, Chicago, Jacksonville, Gainesville and Miami just to name a few. The studio classes are available now in Gainesville- at Gainesville Health & Fitness Center. In the fall at David Barton Gym in Miami."

The Giveaway

We want to give one of our lucky readers a chance to win one of these Fluidity at home barres. This giveaway runs 8/31/15 12:01am EST through 9/13/15 at 11:59pm EST, and is open to US res­i­dents 18+. Please enter using the form below.

February- The Month of Love Part V

Hearing, that powerful sense that brings on so many reactions and emotions... 

The sound of waves relaxes me,

 the sound of my daughter making espumita for el cafe makes me salivate, 

and the sound of "I miss you Grandma" can make me smile and tear at the same time.  

Thus ends the series of love through our senses, but not on the subject of love.

BB can go on all night about amor, but I think the bottom line is this:

To love is to live, and to truly live we must realize how blessed we are to feel, to be.

To be grateful- is to feel love.

Grateful for life, and for having you join me in the dance.

Babushka Besos a Todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S.  And for those of you who thought I had forgotten... JU SO FONII !!!

February- The Month of Love Part IV

Martinique my muse suggested I write on love and the 5 senses.  
This is part IV- the sense of Touch.


Touch.  Oh si, TOUCH.  A physical and spiritual sense.  You can touch a hand and touch a soul.  Countless are the examples, but let BB share some of her favoritos.


 Now, BB being a drama-club-member-highschooler-of-the-80's,my first thought on hearing the word "touch"  brings back memories of a dark movie theater. And for the mal pensados- JU SO FONII!!!  I meant a memory of a particular song from the movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"; the song where Janet sings to the creature.

 You know the song, don't play bobo- sing it with me...

"Toucha, toucha, toucha,  touuuuuuch me- I wanna be diiiirrrrrty. 

Thrill me, chill me,  fullfiiiiiiill me, creature of the night." 

Whaaaaatttt???  Random you say?  Not really. 

 If you figure it's been over 30 years since I saw that movie down in the Grove (that's Coconut Grove for you non-Miamians) and yet I still remember the lyrics , you'd have to agree that it touched me.  Of course my parents thought I was touched -in the head, but for me it was the first showing of independence and I cherish it.

You know another thing that just naturally follows this?  Money. Si, dinero, bi-lle-tes.  

Having money is independence and I cherish it.  

  "BB, you're going off topic again.  Remember, "The love of money is the root of all evil."  

Is it?  Really?

Now just unscrunch that brow and let Babushka lead in this baile.  I'll try not to step on anyone's toes.... well, not too much and not too hard. How money = independence I think you can see that, but why I cherish it and what has it to do with the sense of touch?  Let me proceed.

Primero- the physical;  I like to touch money.  The coolness of the coins, their weight, feeling the jingles as they do belly bumps- I like this.  I like the feel of paper money, the crispness of new bills and  the creases  of those that have been in circulation awhile. I like the NOW of actual currency, not the pretend of plastic.   Pretty good analogy for humans too don't you think?  Si, the physical of money- me gusta.

Segundo- the spiritual touch of money.  The true evil of loving money is wanting it all for yourself, but when you share the wealth are you not showing love?  To touch another with kindness- that is love, and vamos decir la verdad; you can touch a whole lotta  people with a whole lotta money. It's not so much what is given as the fact that someone cared about them, thought of them, that they do count and are not alone- this in our material world is shown with money.  Soup for the hungry, encouragement for the lost, skills for the seeking, beds for the beaten, and laughter for the lonely,  these are but a few ways money can touch.  Si, the spiritual side of money- tambien me gusta.

Y me gusta compartir con ustedes.  

I love to share with y'all and to prove that- another giveaway!!! 

 Yes, change of tempo, from Tango to the Pony.  That's what happens when BB plays DJ! 

 ; ) 

Let's end this post on an upnote and happy tingles; go to BB's Feibu page, and enter the 

February Extreme Cash Giveaway with prizes from $300 - $50.

Buena Suerte and remember- no matter what- SIGUES BAILANDO!!!

Babushka Besos a Todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S.  I'd like to dedicate this post to my highschool friend Frank Kercado who could do a 

Dr. Frank-n-Furter like nobody's business and was a rare, intense, and true talent.  Frankie, you left us as you had lived- with passion and in a blaze. I miss you querido amigo, but I know  you're getting many curtain calls en el cielo while you sing amongst the clouds.  Mil Gracias for your brilliance.

P.P.S.  My 19 year old read this post and didn't know whether to think it cool that her mom likes "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" or be embarassed by it.  Oh Sweet Karma- I love you!  

jeheje  

February- The Month of Love Part II

Ok, Martinique my Muse, petname Marti (not to be confused with martyr, though being a CAP she can definitely play that part) was none too happy with me today.  Seems she didn't appreciate me cleaning the house on the day I should dedicate to her.  Truth be known it wasn't my idea of a fun day either, but when walking through your house becomes a state approved obstacle/training course it's time for a little cleaning up.  Operative word- little.  Gathered all items into a line, spread my homemade rug freshner (yes I make my own, cheap frugal genius that I am) and vacuumed on both sides of the line. Whaaaaatttt?? You thought I put everything away?  JU SO FONII !!!  

Bueno, para no cansarte, I got tired after that (and my regular 10 hours of Twitter & Feibu) and took a nap. The "nap" lasted 7 hours.  Jolting from sleep I asked Marti what happened to her usual 2 am appearance?  She just smiled and said, "Asi es, that's what you get when you're not all rested up and waiting for my brilliance."   ::sigh::  Lesson learned.

After making Martinique her cafecito just the way she likes it- fuerte with lots of sugar and espumita, she informs me that we will be continuing The Month of Love.  "Si, I sense that's a good topic, y vamos usar that- Amor via the senses." "Oye, no hay cookie with this café?"

And so dear reader, there you have it- BB's 1st series.  I suppose the last post would fall under the sense of Sight, so this one will be for the sense of Taste.  Soul of Cubana that I have I would have started with this sense as all our views,beliefs, sayings, come down to comida, pero, I'm not questioning her- as I said, lesson learned.

But of course I had to start off with this one. 

 How tempting, aprobo and perfect verdad?

Oh my.  Perfection once again.

If I am to truly continue the series I must once again mention individuals who merit attention.  For this post no one but Janet Christina of Sweet Temptations comes to mind.

Chocolate Covered Oreos.

Red Roses Oreo

For those that can't choose between roses or chocolate- the perfect combo.

Pink Hearts Oreo

When words aren't needed.

                          

                                          I love you Oreo

I do Love Oreo

When you can't say it enough.

And I can't say it enough- lesson learned.  I also can't say it enough- how much I appreciate all of you and love the time we spend bailando.  Sorry this post is late, but know it was made with  love in the heart and cafe con chocolate on the lips.   ; ♥  See you for part III.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S.  Actually, these oreos could have gone into the prior post- they truly are works of art.  Also, as in the prior post, no compensation was given for mentioning the product, but should the artist care to send BB some of the art she won't say no.   ; )

P.P.S.  Also sending ♥ to my comadre in computerland Grandma Juice, who let me know the battle against seriousness and cleanliness is not mine alone.  Tambien, gracias to her I now know the correct usage of  P.P.S.
