|| my motto || Surround yourself with people that want more out of life. That won’t settle for average. People that you can connect with on a deeper level. Keep your circle fresh. Keep your circle full of quality rather than quantity. Full of cool ass humans that you can be yourself around. People that fill you up with nothing but love. People that want to see you succeed. People that GET IT. Good circle, good life! #DreaApproved

|| #travel || this picture pretty much sums up the past two days. Random but oh so good. San Francisco I will be back.... swipe to see this awesome woman’s pure excitement close up. **pic taken between @dynamiteclothing photoshoot/interviews 🖤 📸 by @emilielevesque3

|| #lookdynamite || San Francisco is always a good idea @dynamiteclothing (Obviously my #coffee in hand)...

Place: Lagos, Portugal Tip: If traveling with a loved one there are many romantic climbs. Climb to the top and enjoy a glass of wine with this view.

Place: Lagos, Portugal Tip: Lots of tourists! Felt like I was in Cancún at one point. Food is more expensive here than other places in Portugal. Beware.

Place: Lagos, Portugal Tip: use @airbnb and land an amazing apartment with this view.

Place: Tangier, Morocco Tip: Walking into the Old City beware of men with snakes in their bags ready to present to you. Also, beautiful mosaic tiles everywhere.

Place: Tangier, Morocco Tip: If you take the ferry from Spain find a cab driver that will give you a tour of the entire city. It was extremely affordable and will help you feel safe.

Place: Tangier, Morocco Tip: Women should cover themselves out of respect. Go into the markets and buy some of the amazing spices.

Place: Lisbon, Portugal Tip: Drink their fresh juices. You will be giving back to the people and staying healthy at the same time.

Place: Old Lisbon (Lisboa) Tip: Register for a free city tour in advance. It’s a phenomenal experience and chance to know the history. Also, locals give free drinks throughout the tour.

Place: Praia de Carcavelos Tip: Bring your own towels, blanket to sit on and beer. Over priced at the restaurants and all the locals will try to sell you there for an outrageous rate. Also, they have women surfing 🏄🏾‍♀️ #cool

Place: Isabel de Torres Tip: travel there with an Uber and then tell the same Uber to pick you up in one hour down the road. Beware that Ubers are using one profile for multiple people. Don’t get in a car that isn’t actually the one presented on Uber.

Place: Sosua Beach, DR Tip: Negotiate the price of food and chairs before you sit and eat. Fish is extremely fresh and good here. Not family friendly at night.

Place: Puerto Plata City Center Tip: Got where the locals are eating. You don’t need the tour guides that are every where. People in the restaurants will explain the history to you over a Présidente for free.

|| #lookdynamite || #Life loves the liver of it.” - Maya Angelou Today I woke up, cooked breakfast, put makeup on (for once), put some clothes that weren’t tights and a sports bra on ( @dynamiteclothing) and had an awesome paint date and dinner with my husband.

|| #travel || not a long text stating how my 2018 was or my plans this year (really dope s% #t happening)... just saying HAPPY NEW YEAR and rock 2019! Peace ✌🏾 from the #dominicanrepublic

|| #travel || Travel is a new experience that can transport you out of your everyday routine to create memories with the ones you love. Try visiting a new location guys xox

|| #Christmas || the most wonderful time of the year. The anticipation for winter’s first snowfall, the colourful lights that brighten up the streets, and of course, sitting by the fire all cuddled up in with my favourite wine. My wine of choice for the holiday season is nothing less than the Yellowtail Shiraz. It’s an Australian red wine full of big, bold and bright flavors. The berries, complimented by the smooth vanilla, balanced with earthy tones and soft ripe fruit sweetness makes for the perfect glass of wine. Looking forward to enjoying a glass of #Yellowtailshiraz with my family and friends. Wishing all my followers a happy and healthy New Year! Merry Christmas! 🎄 @yellowtailcanada

|| #travel || this weekend was amazing... Great vibes, amazing food and best way to start the Holiday Season. I’m thankful for everyone I consider family and all the positive vibes they bring to me. #thankful

|| #lookdynamite || it’s hard running a business but sometimes it’s good to take a break... even if it’s for 24hours. I’ve met some pretty boss babes today and am proud to have supported their businesses at the same time. Be that woman that supports another woman .. it feels good and I guarantee you won’t regret it. Are you someone that supports local businesses that are led by women? @dynamiteclothing has me feeling all types of strong and beautiful right now ♥️

|| #travel || real vs instagram. I always see these amazing pics taken at airports with people walking into the airport smiling and rolling their suitcases… not my reality. Thought I would share the REAL REAL as I am stuck in the airport running around looking for wifi and taking conference calls because all morning flights were canceled for some reason. #annoyed. I changed my meetings to conference calls and even did a FaceTime training from afar… took time and prepped colleagues with detailed emails regarding meetings I ‘may’ miss incase I get on an earlier flight. All this to say… you create your reality. Cheers to you all rocking this week and kicking ass! Also, pic taken by hubs who was annoyed I was working the entire time 🤦🏾‍♀️

|| #goop x #travel || @bodyliciousbydrea closed the Goop Summit on a high! This class gets results and I am humbled that @goop is helping me share it with their goopers. Being in sports since the age of 6 in #Texas and becoming an All-American ( #USA) in Track were building blocks that helped me structure this class. I live, breathe, create and innovate in the world of fitness. This is only the beginning people. Swipe to see the #hubby, #bff and #family supporting and sweating it out with me today. #ingoophealth #leadingtheindustry #thetakeover

|| @goop unboxing + summit || during the summer I got sit down with the unbelievable goop crew and open a box full of goodies. From supplements to makeup removing cleansers to workout tights that make my ass look amazing #justsaying. This is a quick teaser I get to share with you and use to let you all know I will be presenting at #GoopSummit this month! Because when Goop calls you and says ‘Drea we want you to teach 2 @bodyliciousbydrea Classes’ you change your plans for the beach to be in Vancouver instead.

Whomever I am messaging on my phone must be pretty important for me to take my eyes off that view! 🤷🏽‍♂️ #nodrakequotetoday #views #rooftopbar #downtownphoenix #dreaapproved

|| insta vs real life || most people think working from home looks like this. I wish. Wednesdays are my days to catch up at home... meaning I wake up earlier than usual, attack all 100+ flagged emails, run through weekly business numbers for @victoriaparkmtl , plan the next week ahead, payroll check ins and tons and tons of google excel spreadsheets. Oh and between that I try to remember to eat and drink coffee... like a lot of coffee. Today’s addition to the routine is my adorable niece Charlie and my class subbing at 5:45pm. #RealLife

|| sushi sushi || We all know I love good sushi and last night was another great resto find for me @ryu.sushi. MAJOR thank you for accommodating my seaweed allergy and filling up my tummy. Good sushi + Good wine= VERY SATISFIED #DreaApproved #YouAreWelcome

|| #selfcare || Yesterday I listened to my body and made time for some self care. I kidnapped @soniazarbatany and we headed to @spastjames for a lunch spa date. Nothing better than a full body scrub down and oil detox... seriously. I experienced the Body Slimming Treatment + nu Body lifting from Marita (she has the magic touch) and can already feel the difference in my skin today. Hit up the the Ritz with your BFF, check out @spastjames, and then get this treatment lol it’s a must!.... #urbangetaway

|| #DreaApproved || treated myself the past few days back at my mama’s in Virginia and have absolutely zero regrets. Tried to fit in my veggies and green juice, but didn’t say no to that fried chicken and tequila. Back in MTL and ready to sweat it out 💦

|| #dreaapproved recipe || okay so for real I don’t cook (swipe left for a video of @soniazarbatany calling me out) but my cravings for healthy snacks and allergy to all things coconut have forced me to make my own granola bars. These are seriously healthy, easy to make and highly addictive. Find the recipe in my latest blog post using the link in my bio 👌🏾

Bodylicious instructor @thefitfatale with that spring glow ⭐️

|| work life || safe to say I love my work. Grateful to have a job that allows me to be myself and follow my passions. Nothing better than going to work with people who make you laugh (and sweat). @victoriaparkmtl

Monday moves

Thinking about how hungover her legs are going to be tomorrow....

I would argue that if you paint the mask yourself, all the faces you change into are yours.
