About me: A professional dancer, Pilates instructor, bartender, and health blog writer ( Epicself.com check it out!). That's me and my life is nuts! San Francisco has been my fantastic home for the last few years, though I do have to escape home to SC beaches every now and then. I'm a laid back beach girl to the core that just happens to be dancing her heart out in the big city. Life is amazing, just trying to take it all in. Much peace and love
This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
Who I'd like to meet: Enthusiastic, glass-half-full people who are driven and passionate in life. Anyone who wants to shake it on the dance floor, jumping up and down flailing around until 4am. People who aren't afraid to be themselves, live life full throttle and take chances, even if it means falling on their face. Genuine, honest, witty, and down to earth beach bums are my kind of people. Fake, stereotypical, materialistic types kind of make me want to barf.
My face workout guru...fucking fabulous!!
Happy 2009 Amber! I truly wish you an amazing year....even though I know you're working your booty off creating your own rewarding and stimulating life :) much love
Amber I miss you already! Bree and I had a fabulous New Year in San Diego but it would have been 10 times better if you were here :). I hope you had an awesome New Year in the city though. We need to have another girls night out soon because you are so much fun to go out with. Happy New Year! XOXO~Ashley
