You know that moment where you just want to quit because your body just hurts but then there is either an inner voice that tells you to keep going or you have that one motivator person telling you not to?!  For me I do need that person because I tend to think that when it hurts, it’s time to stop.  But it’s that time in your workout you need to try your hardest to keep going and that’s where change happens in the workout room and in life.  Here are my top five places that give me that little push I very much need.

I am currently now based out of Denver, Colorado and I have been trying out classes and gyms the last couple of months to truly figure out where I want to spend most of my days.  As many of you know, working out is something I love to do and is part of my everyday life.  Living in California for almost ten years, I was hooked on Equinox but that’s not available here in Denver.  YET! I hope.  So if you are ever in the Denver area and you want to get your sweat on these are my top places:

Pearl Street Fitness:  Currently hooked.  I’m usually not the biggest fan of small gyms with minimal space but this place makes it all worth it.  It’s not huge but there’s enough room to do the workouts they design perfectly.  I’ve done MANY gym classes and workouts through out my life but there is a special energy and dynamic here.  You feel like you are getting a personal training session but there is other people in the class.  You’ll instantly feel like you are getting a workout the first 5 minutes of starting class.  I don’t know about you but I love my workouts to be intense and know that I worked my ass off when it’s over.  This place does this for me.  I feel like dying through out the whole entire class but I see results happening and that’s what makes me love it so much.  Also, the trainers and people that go here are just straight up amazing people that have great energy.

F45 Training:  Not sure if you guys have heard of F45 but it’s starting to blow up all over the world.  You will sweat so much, definitely bring your own towel.  This place has the newest and greatest equipment for your workout.  Best best part of about F45 is their computer screens on the wall that show you your workout exercises and the time.  You know when you have that one trainer that makes 15 seconds last a million minutes?!  None of that here. 🙂  The trainers here are also very passionate about your safety and workout experience which makes you feel even more comfortable while you’re sweating your bum off.

Fitness In The City:  Circuit training at it’s finest here.  Great space, awesome equipment and good vibes all around.  If you like pretty big groups and working in two’s this place is for you.  The trainers are also so great at pushing you and making you complete your workout at your ultimate limit.  Since you are put in groups for each exercise and circuit you meet a lot of people here.  You leave this place with a good ole sweat and amigos.  Win/win.

Cyclebar: Get your hands up if you love to spin?!  I’m so picky about my spin classes that it’s really hard for me to stay consistent.  I believe the music needs to be on point, workout needs to be tough but it also needs to be fun all at the same time.  Cyclebar definitely will give you all three, you’ll want to go for more.  You get your cardio fix as well as an upper body workout during class.  They are opening up everywhere so make sure to make one close to your neighborhood!

In a city that is growing so fast and has endless places to workout, these are my top four.  I know I haven’t done all that is available here but I know these will be some of your top too.  So if you’re looking for a place to sweat you won’t be disappointed with these!  Get it X

There is nothing like that feeling before heading out on our travels.  I learned a lot this past year while I was traveling for six months around the globe that I wish I knew before I left.  I constantly get asked various questions by followers and friends on what they should expect, what to bring, what are must have apps, etc.  So here they are:

♥ Contact your bank and phone provider letting them know you will be out traveling.  The last thing you want is any blocked transactions on your trip!

♥ I love who ever invented Sanitizer Wipes.  Honestly they are crucial for flying.  Yes I am that girl.  Have some handy on your carry on to wipe down your whole area.  Seats, windows, tray, monitors and please wipe down the head rest! 🙂 Planes are one of the most germ infested places you can be so put these on top of your list.

♥ Adaptors, adaptors, adaptors.  Even though most hotels have them, hostels and airbnb’s usually don’t.  You want to make sure you are all set when it comes to having fully charged electronics and appliances for your day/night out. 😉  I got mine on Amazon and couldn’t have been more happy with it.

♥ Make sure your passport doesn’t expire within the 6 months of travel.  Some countries will not let you fly if so.  I had a friend that couldn’t go on his travels that he planned with his buddies for months ahead of time because of this.

♥ Even though English is spoken in almost every country locals do appreciate it when travelers try to speak their native tongue.  Download the Google translation app or Duolingo for even a better experience.

♥ Make sure to take all your favorite products that you might not find overseas.  Shampoo, face wash, toothpaste, razors, medications/vitamins and your favorite snacks! (protein bars are my fav)

♥ Make a copy of your passport and driver license.  You never know when you will need to show your documentation so it’s better to have several copies with you then wasting time finding a printing/copy place in a city you don’t really know your way around.  This helped me a lot when our Airbnb and a bank overseas needed this info.

♥ When you finally know where you are staying take a couple of minutes to know where the closest hospital or urgent care is just in case of emergencies.

♥ My favorite thing to do is favorite/star all the places I want to visit in that country or city on my google maps app.  You can organize it by type of place so it’s easily accessible and with you at all times. I loved this for all the sights, restaurants, activities that were top on my must do’s.  Another reason why I love this is that you can send it to your fellow travelers and friends so they have them too!

♥ Wifi…not being connected for a while might seem amazing but we all know it’s crucial.  Make sure that your accommodation has wifi.  Even though most places do,  it’s very important to double check before hand.

♥ Make sure you know all the airline rules and regulations before you fly.  Weigh your bags before hand so if you are planning to purchase overseas you’ll be prepared when you come back.

Safe travels!

When I arrived in Madrid in February of this year, I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful the city was.  We were only staying here for 5 days so I knew I had 5 full days of sight seeing, eating, and walking up my sleeve.  There is so much to see in this city I would recommend being there at least 5 days but more if possible.  I didn’t see everything I wanted to see but I saw enough that made me happy.   Here are a few things I did and recommend doing which you can add to your itinerary next time you are there. 🙂

Palacio Real

You definitely want to visit this place because it is breath taking.  I would recommend taking pictures from a far and also get up close because the details and use of gold in the building is so beautiful.  I could have stayed here all day just looking all around me.  I was wandering the streets on my own on this day and remember being so happy at the present moment.  The history surrounding all of Madrid is also so cool to experience.  You can walk through the palace solo or in a guided tour.

 

When you walk around you’ll be there for quite a bit because there is also the cathedral which is right in front of this building that you’ll want to observe and click away.  You can also go into the chapel and walk around.  It’s so beautiful and peaceful, I stayed in there for at least an hour.  Take it all in.  There’s history, art, architecture, faith and just overall good vibes.  I definitely recommend it all.

Plaza Mayor

Definitely a spot to check out when in Madrid.  It’s special because it’s the center of the city and there are great restaurants, coffee shops, shops and just an awesome place to sit down and people watch for hours.  It’s also a main meet up point for tours as well if you want to meet up with other people on the trip.

Prado Art Gallery

Don’t miss out on this one!  It honestly took my breath away.  Plan on being there for a while so make sure to give yourself enough time because this place is HUGE.  The older I get the more appreciative I am of art and history.  I could be there forever being inspired and looking back at what the world has been through to get where we are now.

Calle de Gran Via

One of my all time favorite main streets in a big city?!  GRAN VIA.  I might be bias because our amazing airbnb was straight stinkin middle of all this amazingness but it is an amazing area of Madrid.  You can’t compare New York City to Madrid but it does have the lights and happenings that NYC does at night time.  If you want a cool shot of this main strip, you have to go all the way to the top of the building.  I spent at least an hour here because I was distracted by all the amazing food, drinks and goodies that were being sold.  Expect to wait a couple of minutes to get your shot because I was there on a rainy day so I can only imagine how it is on a beautiful day.  Regardless, I was glad I made it to this spot before leaving.  And I’m sure you will like it too.

Retiro Park

You will see why this is Madrid’s most famous park.  This park was only reserved for royalty, but now it’s open to the public and thank goodness to that.  It was one of our last full days in Madrid and we wanted to spend it wisely and I’m so glad we did.  This park is honestly so breathtaking and relaxing.  You can take endless pictures inside and around the park, sit down and just see the park performers, spend a nice hour or so in the water on a boat, have a snack from one of the local stands and definitely finish off by checking out the glass palace.  Depending on what season you end up going the way the natural light hits the glass on the palace does make a difference of capturing that certain beauty.  But I have to say even on the rainy gloomy day we went, I was still moved by it’s beauty.  So don’t let that stop you.

Mercado San Miguel

Built in 1917, you can appreciate the building as well as the atmosphere inside and please COME HUNGRY.  Have cash on you and get ready to drink and eat the most delicious grub you’ll have in Spain for just a couple of euros.  From fried croquetas, to an array of different flavored and spiced olives, to cheeses, yogurt, sweet covered nuts, seafood, pastries galore and endless wine and beer.  I wish I could name off everything in this place but I just want you to imagine and experience this for yourself.  Oh yes and don’t forget the fresh cut fried potato chips!  (Damn, I just got hungry).  It’s become very touristy these past couple of years but don’t let that stop you.  It’s part of the vibe and it’s one of my favorite Spanish experiences.  Just take a look at the few things I tried when I was there.  Take me back! x

Madrid is so just so cool.  It has everything a city has to make a trip beautiful.  The beauty and history of the city shines through.  Escape yourself into everything the city has to offer.  There is so much to see and experience.  Take it all in because it’s one of the most beautiful cities you’ll visit.  I might be biased because Spain is my most favorite country in the world but I promise you’ll love it too. X

Yes.  We have all heard that being out in nature is good for us but there are more reasons why the beach, specifically does more good than other serene places.  The beach and ocean have specific properties that help the human body feel relaxed and happier.

I have always loved the beach and the ocean, just like most of us but there was always something that made me feel physically and spiritually better after spending time seaside.  And this is why….

SEAWATER //  Seawater strengthens the body against many viruses, low defences, bacteria and pathogens.  Also, the sound of the crashing waves has a healing affect on the mind.  It’s a form of an unconscious meditation for me; which in my opinion, we all need some beach nowadays with the negativity of the news, hectic schedules, long working hours, and the pressures of everyday life.  If you can’t get to the beach, download a ocean waves app or ocean songs on Spotify.

SEA AIR // Sea air has healthy ions that builds our body’s capacity to take in more oxygen.  All the technology we use everyday such as our laptops, phones, microwaves, etc. expose us to unhealthy free radicals which erodes our body’s natural energy.  But when we are by the beach, the air helps us feel energized and relaxed at the same time.  I love to take deep breathes throughout the day but when I do it by the beach, it just has to much more spiritual healing for me.  Which leads to better mental health.

OCEAN COLOR // The color blue is considered a calming and peaceful color which helps us feel good.  Peaceful, calm and gentle, this color has great power to manage stress.  I will always love blue.

STRESS NO MO // There’s a reason why people go to the beach to mediate, or read a book or just lay down and not do anything. The sand is healing, the sound of the ocean waves is also healing.  It’s the perfect place to destress and help with depression.  True Fact:  The beach is the only place that I can go after a long, stressful, horrible day and then feel at peace and relaxed.  It’s honestly my favorite medicine.

NATURAL SALT SCRUB // Sand from the beach is my favorite exfoliant.  Did you know it removes dead skin and also has anti-aging properties.  Skip the spa and head to the beach! Thank me later with your soft skin 😉

Rome, what can I say?  It’s Rome!  If you are someone that has been there already or haven’t, you have heard about this lovely city.  Every single time I go I always fall more in love with it.  Not only is there endless things to do and see, but it’s charming in every sense of the word.

I decided to make a trip to Rome again for the fourth time because my friend wanted to visit.  I’ll always say yes to Rome and especially Italy.  Right after I graduated from college, I decided to move to Florence for six months to learn the language and work a bit in the industry.  It was one of the most amazing and memorable times of my life.  Italy is so amazing.  It has incredible history, art, architecture, language and food, food and food!

 

Since I am traveling for a couple of months, I have to be more conscious on my spending so we found a great spot on AirBNB in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Rome called Pigneto.  It’s the new up and coming hipster cool area of Rome.  It’s a great location too with easy access to the metro and bus stops.  They have great bars, restaurants, coffee shops and markets you definitely want to check out when you go visit.

For the week that we were there we did a lot of ‘touristy’ musts but we also made sure to just relax some days and solely walk the streets with no specific purpose, get lost a bit, have some gelato in a hidden street and try an apertivo or two along the way.  I always find it important when I travel to just go out and explore.  Don’t have an agenda just walk the streets, you’ll be surprised what you stumble upon. I am a huge fitness bum so when I don’t have a gym around I have to walk as much as possible and do mini workouts in the bedroom.  If you are like me, Italy is your dream place because you will do so much walking that you will double and sometimes triple your steps for the day. 🙂 Which is always good so then I can have more pizza, pasta or gelato later!

I am a total foodie and love almost everything so I can find something to eat anywhere.  When it comes to Italy, you have to eat.  Italy has it’s own unique way of life with food.  Food to them is like water to us.  It’s everything to them and you can tell they put so much love into their food because it tastes oh so good.  Eat when you are here!  You will be wonderfully surprised. Here were a couple of stand outs for me but there is so much goodness in that city I’m sure you’ll have recommendations of your own.

Favorite Place for Pizza: Pizzeria Da Remo |  Best pizza I’ve ever had.  Handmade wood fired thin pizza crust, just the right amount of cheese with incredible flavor.  Make sure to get their right when they open or close to it or plan on waiting.  Order your pizza of your liking with a glass of red.  Bravissimo in your mouth!

Favorite Vegan Spot: Flower Burger | Best vegan burger I’ve had in a long time.  I’m not a huge meat eater and eat fish occasionally but vegan spots are always my go to when it’s available.  I went here on my own and honestly was in heaven.  I had been craving a healthy burger and who knew I had come to the right place.  Their buns are also super tasty and they come in colors so they make for a great pic. My mouth still waters a little when I think about this place and my burger below. 🙂

 

Italy is well known for their food and apertivo stops so make sure to try as much as you can because there is nothing like Italian apertivo and food.  Just keep in mind lunch stops do close around 2 or 3 and then reopen after apertivo around 6 or 7.  Apertivo usually starts around 4 too.  See what I mean when I say Italy and food? 🙂

Favorite spot for for a Cappucciono or Apertivo: Santa Maria Bistrot | This place is gorgeous!  Not only do they have the cutest decor but their food is suppose to be great.  We only stopped in for a cappuccino but it was buenissimo to say the least!  Strike a convo with some of the ladies at the bar, they were incredibly friendly and gave us some recos too.

Favorite Spot for Fried Artichoke: Il Portico |  Do not leave Rome without trying fried artichoke, or as the Romans say it, Carciofo alla giudia.  It is honestly one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted.  Before we left Rome we wanted to visit the Jewish Quarter or Jewish Ghetto as they call it because we heard such great things about it. So on our last day we set out on a rainy day to find the best fried artichoke.  Apparently there are many places that do this best but we stopped here and were very satisfied.  The crunchiness and tastiness is all you need to leave with a smile on your face.  The Jewish Ghetto is a place to definitely put on your Rome list.  There are cute restaurants and shops everywhere and great history too.  You will find some of the best restaurants in this side of the city so come hungry.

Things to See in Rome

The Vatican/Sistine Chapel:  It’s a must.  You will be mind-blown.  It’s worth it.  Do it.

 

Trevi Fountain: It’s a beautiful spot for a pic.  Try to go early morning if possible because it’s gets incredibly crowded.

Pantheon:  It’s a Rome signature and so beautiful.  Take pictures from the outside and inside.  There are beautiful and yummy places to get something to eat and drink as well in front of it.  Enjoy. 🙂

 

Colloseum:  Nothing more breath taking than this place.  It was my second time there and the feelings were exactly the same than when I went there the first time.  I would recommend to go there during the day and at night because there are just no words.  Take your time walking around and even inside.  Take pictures and make your memories here.

Spanish Steps:  I love this spot.  It’s in one of the most beautiful areas of Rome with luxury surrounding the steps.  Great coffee and gelato shops, beautiful restaurants, designer shops, cutest of all European streets and talented performers.  Writing this makes me want to be there now!

St. Peters Basilica:  Catholic or not, we will appreciate this place like no other for it’s architecture and art.  You have, have, have to go and see this place.  The first time I saw this with my real eyes it was 11 years ago and till this day I have never seen anything like it.  You most definitely have to make this visit when in Rome.

Ponte Sant’Angelo: This bridge is the most beautiful bridge in the world. Its openness to light, and perfect distance between arches and water surface makes it different… not to mention the beautiful materials it is made of, and the history it has. Last but not least, it is the bridge that connects the Eternal City to Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.  If you are lucky, you will hear one of the best instrument playing by the most talented people on that bridge.

If you have enough time, go to Perugia for the day.  We did this and we were so stoked we did.  If you want to be up in the countryside with beautiful views, in a cute little town and chocolate shops everywhere then Perugia is your go to.  Perugia is surrounded by defensive walls with gothic inspired streets and architecture.  Expect to see some amazing churches, structures and museums while you are here.  Plan to eat and make sure to try their chocolate they are famous for.

This list are just starters and ideas for your days in Rome but there are endless things to see, do and eat here.  So much history, art, food, and architecture to take in and explore.  Italy is really easy to travel to and from with great transportation and every place you manage to travel to is picturesque.  If it’s your first trip here or your 10th, you will always love it.  It’s that special.

As some of you know, I am currently living out of a plane on a travel tour with one of my best friends.  We have no set itinerary, no set schedule but we are still working remotely.  It’s been a month and some since we left home and just now starting on my Malta post.  Working remotely is not as easy as it looks especially when you are an early riser and have an intense wanderlust soul and want to spend your hours wandering around with no plan in sight.  But it has to be done. 🙂

To tell you the truth I’ve always wanted to visit Malta but it wasn’t a top one on my list until recently.  I started to read and see more about it.  Top bloggers started posting about it, Conde Nast named it top travel destinations for the year 2018, etc.  And plus it’s a historic island with crystal blue waters!  Hello! Yes please.

Visiting Malta in the winter is their off season but we couldn’t have asked for better prices, weather, locals, and actually some seats on our bus travels.  Here are photos of our first day on the Island.  Our AirBnb in Sliema was steps away from the ocean so we couldn’t have been happier.  There was also a coastline of all restaurants, bars, shops, and more.  Once you walk to the coastline you see a beautiful cityscape of beautiful Valletta, Malta.


If you are visiting or staying in Sliema, I would recommend to take a full day to walk the hidden nooks of this town.  You will get inspired and take in all the hidden beauty that is tucked in between the streets.  Have a coffee at a local shop, try their spinach and tuna pie on the go, and just enjoy those snacks and sit on a random step in the middle of it all.   It’s a lovely vibe.  You’ll like it.  We did all those things and then we stumbled upon the cutest lunch place in front of the water to have a glass of wine.

We knew we wanted to see most of what the island had to offer so we planned on taking the bus to different towns that we heard so much about.  We didn’t even make it to some of them!  We spent a couple of hours in Mosta and then saw a tiny town on the water that day as well.  It was a nice town but there’s not much to do except see the church and grab something to eat.  I would recommend skipping that town and heading to Mdina or Popeye’s Village instead.

One of the most memorable and magical places I’ve ever seen is a little town called Mdina.  If you are a Game of Thrones fanatic (who isn’t) you will recognize and fall even deeper in love with this place.  The land of ‘Kings Landing’ is shot in all of Malta but it was mostly shot in Mdina.  With the cobblestone narrow streets, to the medieval architecture and restaurants, to the horses riding along the town, you will be waiting to transform into Kaleesi right then and there!  As some of you already know, I truly get inspired by my travels and this place got me to the bones.  I was inspired, mesmerized and truly blessed to be able to walk these magical streets and take in all the beauty.  A friend of mine actually took us thru Mdina at night and I have no words.  I thought I was in a medieval dream.   Mdina is definitely a must see if you visit Malta, you will too be mesmerized.

Favorite place to get a drink: Tiffany Champagne and Wine Bar in St. Julians

Favorite place for dinner (Get the cheese plate and a glass/bottle of wine) : Bridge Bar in Valletta

Valletta is a great place to see during the day and a must at night.  There are several restaurants, bars and stores to check out.  You can take the ferry or the bus to this beautiful city.  Since we were all over the island checking out other places we only had the chance to be in Valletta at night.  Thankfully, it turned out to be a night to remember.  I recommend to walk the streets as much as you can and go to bridge bar.  On a calm night, order the cheese and meat plate recommended by the owner with a glass of your favorite wine.  I always do rose :).  On a busy night, go there and sit on the steps while you drink your favorite beverage while listening to music that is played outside.  It’s really the coolest most amazing little gem and the owner, George is the sweetest most generous human.  Start a conversation with him, maybe he’ll even toast some limoncello with you!

I get asked all the time what beach is my favorite?  I’m a beach nut so it’s hard for me to answer that question because any place with the sea and sand is beautiful in my eyes.  But Rambla Bay in Gozo was an absolute stunner.  I’ve never seen anything like it!  Crystal blue waters, orange sanded beach that is sandwiched between countryside and mountain tops you won’t know where you are.  It is one of the most captivating areas of Malta, surrounded by natural beauty you will be.  The natural colors of the surroundings of this place was very inspiring for me.  The colors in the bay and colors surrounding it all made it a wonderland.  The mis of the green and blues of the ocean with the orange and golds from the sand to the greens and browns of the cliffs and countryside..(I can go on and on).  Put this on the top half of your list for sure.

Finally I get to talk about the Blue Grotto in Malta.  One of the most beautiful coolest experiences I have done in a long time.  The ride there is spectacular going up the mountains tops, along the Dingli Cliffs and looking down at the water.  Make sure to give yourself enough time to see everything on the way as well as making it to the boat ride.  It’s about 8 euros for the ride and it’s definitely worth it.  They take you inside the caves and you get to see the beautiful rock formations from afar and close up.  The water is so crystal clear blue you’ll be tempted to dive in so bring a suit!   These six marine caves are so breath taking you’ll have this memory forever.

We did a lot in a week and we could have definitely stayed longer.  We felt right at home and loved every bit of this island.  The food was great, the people were incredibly nice and the history just took our breath away.  Malta is definitely one top of my list of favorite places and I want it to be on yours too.  This country gave me some great memories and for that I am loving it for life.

1.  Calm: I can’t tell you enough about this app!  It’s so amazing that I have made my family and friends download it.  I am a regular at meditating but sometimes it’s nice to find something different that will get you to that relaxing state that is needed to even start meditating.  It’s completely free and there are different sounds and listening tools for your liking.  I use it as soon as I wake up and right before I go to bed and sometimes even when I am taking a bath or shower.  I hope you love it and discover the life changing benefits of meditation with this app!

2.  Preview: I don’t know how many times I’ve uploaded a new pic on Instagram and then regretted it because it didn’t go well with the overall look or feel of my feed but it was just too late to take it off because some people actually appreciated it or liked it.  (haha)  I use this app so much now and I have fallen hard.  Right before I upload anything to IG now, I can see if it’s the right decision.  What’s also great about this app is that you can schedule posts as well so keeping up with a nice feed can be a little less stressful.

3. Lightroom CC:  I get asked all the time what kind of camera I use for my pics and I always answer iphone.  I used to just use the set up filters given but after I discovered Lightroom that’s all I use now.  It’s so easy to use and pictures end up looking like you used a professional camera.  It’s totally free as well!

Download these apps and let me know what you think!  I would love to hear.  You can find me on IG @carlaloren.  XO

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you guys!  I baked them today and I’m so happy how they turned out,  I HAD to write about it.  Let’s just say that I am NOT a baker.  I don’t like measuring every single ingredient and I just don’t have that baker’s touch but I do it anyways because it’s super fun.  Healthy baking is my favorite thing to do when it’s cloudy and cold outside.  There’s something about fall that gets my oven gloves going.  Cozy nights are best when you have a candle lit and the smell of sweet cookies take over the house.  So here it is.  Pure and simple.  You probably already have the ingredients in your pantry, some of you might even make them after you read this. Oh yes, and don’t forget the touch of honey at the end!  It makes the cookie complete. Much love, C.

YOU NEED:

  1. Your favorite Vanilla Protein Powder | 2 scoops (I use Tone It Up or Quest Protein)
  2. Egg whites (around 1/4 cup)
  3. Peanut Butter (3 to 4 cups)
  4. Honey (lil sprinkle)

HOW TO:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Mix all ingredients together
  3. Spray lightly on foil
  4. Make into balls and then press down with a fork
  5. Bake for 10 minutes
  6. Let them cool a bit and add your honey on top
  7. Enjoy!

Hope you love them!
