If you're anything like us, then you're overwhelmed with the amount of wellness trends out there! How do we know if we should or shouldn't be doing something?! Or if it even works or not?! So, WE'RE going to do our best to investigate a lot of these wellness trends for you and let YOU know if it's something that's worth your time!

We're not the youngest, the fanciest, nor do we want to try to be models or doctors, but we're just two normal, everyday, gyals who decided to make a business out of our passions for traveling, working out and having fun, so we created our Fitness + Foolishness retreats!

Let us know if you have any requests and we'll do our best to check it out. Thanks for reading!

✨Today is going to be a big day. Are you ready for the eclipse? ✨ It's a time to honor a marker of huge change and the agent of a massive reset. Acknowledge the absence of the sun and solar energy as it is eclipsed from the earth for those few moments as symbolizing the absence of what has been feeding old patterns and beliefs for you these past years and maybe your whole lifetime. As the eclipse recedes and the sun comes back, imagine that it is feeding and nourishing and energizing a new you, one that has been reset to a new vibration, a new consciousness, a new frequency. - Lena Stevens, The Power Path
Fitness + Foolishness Friday...flashing back to beach pilates a few weeks ago. Single leg bridge is great for the 🍑
Hiii! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Marisa (but everyone calls me) Thrasher, and yes, it's my real last name. After living for nearly 11 years in NYC (technically a couple of those were spent living in the Cayman Islands), I recently moved back to San Diego -- the city I grew up in just because it felt like it was time. And because, you know, winters. If anyone asked me 10 years ago where I thought I'd be by now, without pausing I would've said that I'd be ballin' out of control. Never would I have thought that I'd be where I am now -- making the career changes necessary in order to get to where I want to be. I always knew where I was starting (which is when it's so easy to dream about ballin' out) and where I one day wanted to end up, but I guess I never thought of the in between to get there. WTF was I thinking?! It doesn't happen overnight! For the first time since we launched, I'm giving our business everything I have vs having it be a side hustle. And it feels as if I'm literally starting over, which at first was terrifying. I'm going from doing finance for a fashion consulting agency to living, breathing and sleeping fitness. Even though I'm from SD, the place has changed so much that it's essentially new to me. But so far I was able to find an instructor position at an awesome boutique gym, form an exciting partnership and I somehow landed a gig as a magazine contributor (more to come on this) which is crazy because I never saw myself as a writer! The funny thing is, when you dedicate yourself whole-heartedly to something, the benefits pay off. The saying about if you want something you need to work for it, couldn't have any more truth to it. This is applicable to ANYTHING in your life, whether it's fitness goals, getting that promotion, traveling to that place you've always dreamed of, etc. So cliché but so true!! Throughout our 4 year journey, for every door that's opened for us, 49 others have closed. We LIVE for those little wins. We feel so incredibly STRONG after each win and it keeps us going. I'm not going to stop...ever. And neither should you 😘. #thepowerofshe @athleta #sponsored 📸: @vlmorton11
Feeling excited after booking the return flights after the Bali retreat. Can't wait to spend 3 weeks together. Missing my west coast pal.
Hey Friends!! We know we don't get too personal on here but we think it's time for you to get to know us and we'd like to get to know you, too. I'm Nicole (and the) Sweet part of Sweet + Thrasher. You might know me as a Brooklyn gyal, working as a Pilates instructor or a personal trainer, but you might not know that I'm also a professional photographer and shoot a lot of NBA games. I have an obsession with swimming and basically living like a mermaid, and I love shooting underwater, especially when we're in the tropics! A downfall of living like a mermaid is that I often times live in a dream world and take foreverrrrrrr to make a decision, because I thoroughly need to research my options. I like to be sure before I commit to something and sometimes I feel like it holds me back. Do you guys struggle with this, too?! I'm constantly asking myself how I can improve and overcome what holds me back. I've come to realize that I feel strong when I take risks. It's like when I'm swimming, I like to jump in with both feet and then let things flow. When I'm underwater, I'm the happiest because it seems like anything is possible. On a recent swim, I told myself that I need to live my life above water just as I do underwater. Not thinking too much and have faith that things will just work out the way they were meant to be. @athleta #thepowerofshe #sponsored
