Hi there…
Today I decided to stray a bit from the Top 10 posts of 2012 countdown and say hello. I know there are a lot of you reading out there that I have yet to meet and yet to connect with (my analytics tell me so :). Yesterday I was reading a blog that I love and was inspired to connect with you all so I am copying her idea (hope you don’t mind Danielle!). Don’t be shy, come on out and say hello and let’s get to know each other.
I’ll start…
I’m Robin. Founder of The Balanced Life. Pilates instructor. Blogger.
I love cooking, lattes, gold jewelry, the color green and running.
I adore my husband and top knots.
I love anything chocolate…especially salted chocolate.
I fell in love with Pilates when I realized how much it helped me appreciate my own body.
A little known fact about me is that my sense of space is VERY important to me.
My favorite thing about the holidays is cozy nights with lights, family, hot cocoa, and warm fires.

Hello! I’m Elonia. I started doing pilates my freshman year at my college. I’ve been going weekly (during school time) since then and now I am a senior. I absolutely love it. If I go a couple weeks without it, I noticeably don’t feel as flexible. I’m 21 and going to school to become a high school chemistry teacher (I love it!!) Right now I’m a tutor and an adviser at the school. I also work at McDonald’s on weekends.
I love going out with my girlfriends and watching comedy TV shows with my boyfriend, Greg. I enjoy helping people, being friendly, coordinating my outfits, painting, and I’m learning how to play guitar. My favorite part of the holidays is exchanging presents with my friends because I’m an awesome gift giver and I love wrapping them pretty!
I’m very new to this blog, I found it on fit fab fun. I immediately knew it was for me!

Hi Sandy! I love Mexican Food too. I think it’s the one kind of food I could never get sick of. I’m off to go find you on Pinterest. :) Thanks for posting!

Hi!
I’m Liz, twenty-something who graduated law school a year ago, worked at a law firm for 8 months, and decided I didn’t want to be a lawyer after all.
I love the ocean, music, massages, cooking, coffee, and mindless reality TV.
I have been doing mat Pilates on and off for 5 years, and recently ventured into Reformer/machine work (which I’m obsessed with).
I love Pilates for the way it makes me feel physically, and yoga for the way it makes me feel mentally.
Something surprising about me is that I hate the summer. I would rather have a gloomy day than a sunny one, and if I could set the Earth’s thermostat, I would keep it at about 50-55 degrees.
My favorite thing about the holidays is the ambience/decorations. I love that the whole world around me takes on a new look around Christmas-time.
Thanks for your blog. I need more influences and people like you in my life :).

Hi Lizzie! I completely admire the fact that you followed your heart and left law even though you went all the way through law school. I bet there are SO many people who are stuck in careers they don’t love that wish they could say they did the same! I’m with you on the mindless reality tv…mostly just Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, my favorite thing to zone out to :) I’m glad you’re here and hope to hear from you more!

I’m Sarah. I’m British, and I work with children with Autism.
I love fresh flowers, reading novels, baking, sitting by the sea, Downton Abbey, and the trees in Fall (or Autumn, as I would call it).
I got engaged ten days ago, and I adore my fiance and beautiful new ring.
I love anything chocolaty too, but I don’t like anything salty, including salted chocolate.
I fell in love with Pilates when I took a class and realised how taking time out to look after my body makes me feel whole.
A little known fact about me is that although I love cupcakes, I don’t like icing.
My favorite thing about the holidays is sitting around with family (and wine) in a cosy room that smells of real Christmas trees.
