Why aren't they writing?  

No one has came right out and said it,  BUT if I were
an outsider looking in, I'd wonder what's the hold up on
their Writing/Recording more material?  They're writers aren't they?

WELL,, we're proud to say that the pen never dropped. Dust my shoulder off :P  hehe. 

 So many song ideas and lyrics, and even melodies with perfect tracks are all ready Behind The Scenes, and prepared to be laid and presented to you!   We are naturally drawn to expressing
ourselves through writing music, and so it's nearly impossible to just shelf that interest of ours, EVEN with lack of time. But,,,, The hold up?  Traveling of course.

AS you may already know, we perform all over the US. Just recently got back from Palm Springs CA, Puerto Vallarta Mexico, Las Vegas NV, Reno NV, Beverly Hills CA, Lake Charles LA, Columbus OH, Chicago IL, and more!  In fact we will be
performing next week in the Bahamas. With all that said, WE also choreograph our shows. Which takes up days at a time to create and master those "edgy & high energy" moves.  IF YOU KNOW US... We certainly aren't going to travel to stage to stage without giving you all new edgy dance routines every time! :P  We're colorful girls, and we love to color outside the lines!
However,, That's been biding a good amount of time.

Also, we just relocated to VEGAS :)  We've adapted quickly to this scene, for it's the scene of entertainment!  But that meant searching for a new Engineer!

ALSO, we will be 2 of the 4 lead singers for a 5 night a week show called INTENSI-T, which we're in rehearsals for at the moment. The show will launch in July, at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay.  This show also spawned off to having a TV show called INTENSI-T TV on ABC and other channels internationally. We've been shooting for the TV show quite a bit recently as well.

THE GOOD NEWS?  Our pencils certainly are dull from accumulating lyrics and ideas throughout these past months for
upcoming songs.  The better news,, OUR STYLE has evolved!   And I'd say it evolved organically (untouched,) Since we paid no attention to music "experts"  claiming to stick with just one genre and mastering it.  We never stunted our growth by pulling the plug
on experimenting with these different genres... And because of that, our sound has grown beautifully!

We're back in that studio, playing in our playground!  Coming to you with a variety of fun/edgy songs, as well as some soft emotional ballads~

STAY TUNED- Because we'll be presenting our new CD of music Sooner than later!

As fun and playful as "BIKINI SEASON" sounds....
It can also be quite scary when you're walking around
with a big question mark over your head, wondering
"How in the world am I going to fit in this bikini in time?"

Did you ever hear the statement "Eat more to lose weight"?

WELL as false as it may sound, this statement is absolutely True.

Being singers, we schedule shoots consistently! You'll find us traveling to Palm Springs, Mexico, Vegas, Reno, Beverly Hills, etc.   In fact, right around the corner is a performance/event at the Bahamas.  AND as you may have already noticed... Many of these shoots Require to show a little skin.   Why?  Because the sun's scorching!! Plus we like to feature our fitness as often as we can.

For the past 6 years we've been "playing" with so many different formulas to get and keep our bodies toned.

And I'll tell you one thing- WE aren't high maintenance girls at all, But our bodies sure are!

Within our process of "Learning what works" there were certainly a few tears, a whole lot of sweat, and most importantly a greater amount of Happiness.

SO our goal with this blog is to personally reach out, Grab that unnecessary question mark above your head, and break it in half! hehe.

OUR TIPS ON TONING UP:

1.) EAT AND EAT OFTEN
Graze throughout the day~ Eat every meal 2 to 2 1/2 hours apart. This is THE MAIN KEY to keep your metabolism rolling on HIGH!
And that's why we put it as number one on this list.
If you allow your body to starve, it will only backfire on you- Your metabolism will slow way down, holding onto whatever
you put in your mouth next, and simply storing it as fat. Resulting in the "SKINNY FAT LOOK."  (Thin body, with a soft/watery
feel.) No fun.

2.) DO NOT CARB DEPLET YOUR BODY ( meaning: take out carbs)
If you take out your carbs, your body will then eat your own muscles for fuel, giving you a deflated look & personality,
AND again resulting in that skinny fat look.

Eat your complex carbs in the 1st three meals- so you can use them as energy for your workout and day.  AND eat your fibrous carbs
at night so you don't have to worry about not working them off while you're asleep!  REMEMBER..  Carbs= Energy. Energy is what you'll need FOR those workouts.

3.) EAT FAT TO LOSE FAT!
Eat a few servings of "GOOD" Fats throughout the day.  These fats, in moderation, will actually trigger your body to shed fat.
You literally need fat to lose it. Sounds false, but is absolutely true!  Plus it gives you good mind power as well... leaving you feeling level
headed throughout the day.  

GOOD FATS: Unsalted Natural Peanut Butter, Handful of Organic Almonds, Vegetarian Fed Caged Free Eggs (which contains CLA- Good Fat) Grass Fed Red Meat (Which contains CLA- Good Fat)   Grass Fed organic Butter (which contains CLA, Good Fat)  Avocado.. and more!

CLA is a fat catalist... meaning it will help your body burn fat.

4.) WATER & GREEN TEA
Keep that metabolism sky high!  Enough said!   Drink up to flush out toxins in your body.

5.) LOSE THE TITLE OF CARDIO QUEEN- AND PICK UP SOME DUMBELLS!
This is One of the biggest tips we've learned through the years!  We were known as the "energizer bunnies" at our old gym... Because
we could keep going and going with cardio. The problem with that is, we broke down our muscles with that much cardio.
ALSO, how can you expect to "build" your body with those beautiful muscles IF you don't pick up a dumbell. Cardio only
makes you smaller... Weight Training IS what tones you up!  No Skinny Fat!!!  Big difference!  PLUS, weight training
AGAIN speeds up that metabolism.  IT'S ALL ABOUT THE METABOLISM. Respect it!  Or else you're just going to keep running in a tired circle.    Make tiny adjustments. Every detail matters!

6.) PLAY!
Play dang it!  :)  If you don't like running,, DON'T!  There are SO many options for what you can be doing that leads to a great workout!
AND when you play with those options... you're having fun!
Change things up,, not just for your mind, but to continue shocking your body, so that your body won't hit a plateau.  Jump rope,
Roller skate, Sprint, do Plyometrics (our favorite,)  Run stairs, DO WORKOUT CLASSES (Awesome music and support from others.)
Dance, Go swimming. Circuit Train, Pump iron, Play!   I guarantee there are many exercise activities that will meet your "style."

RULE- If you don't like doing it, find a different/comparable activity that you do like.  Be happy.. don't force yourself.

7.) DON'T OVERTRAIN~
We STILL have problems with this one!  It's hard to give your all, and wonder could I give more?   If you work your body to the core,
your body breaks down. You get irritable. Your body hurts, and you wake up stiff as ever!  But more importantly you make minimal
progress. Which is no fair for your efforts!  You won't build your body into that pretty curvy toned look if your muscles suffer from
being overworked. Definitely Have a POWERFUL workout in order TO make gains. But learn WHEN to pull the plug!

SLEEP!  You'll allow your body to recover.. and THEN you'll see your results of that workout. Your body BEST repairs itself when you're asleep.
Big tip :)

8.) CHEAT!  I want you to cheat...
Yes, I said it!  If you deprive yourself from any pleasures in life, you will feel sorry for yourself.
Moderation is key... But that is also a very vague statement, and is often abused.. BECAUSE what exactly is
moderate?   IF you ate clean all week, and had beautiful strong workouts all week,, Have yourself one cheat meal
OR cheat dessert on Saturday!  Studies show This will only SPIKE your metabolism, and work in your favor!  Wow,,, what a concept!

9.) A GLASS OF RED WINE A DAY, KEEPS THE FAT AWAY
We, for some reason, don't have much of a taste for alcohol. However..Studies do show
IF you team up a glass of read wine with Veges and Protein, it can actually speed up the Calorie Burn!  Cheers to that!

10.) DRESS SEXY- when you put something good on, you feel good. And when you feel good- you skip to the gym :)  Just saying~

This is in the same category of PLAY. Make sure you're having fun. Otherwise you'll feel suffocated! 

11.) FITNESS IS NOT JUST A "BODY WAR," IT'S A "MIND WAR." We STILL have this small tiny fear that hits us before we step into that gym. It's normal, we're human!   Because we KNOW in order to make gains, you do have to feel a little discomfort when it comes to working out. GET YOUR MIND IN THAT RIGHT ZONE! And this goes with everything in life.  We're all embedded with fear systems..> But we all ALSO have that Super Hero in us that can push through ANYTHING.  Think with the glass half full!  

Even if you walked 15 minutes on the treadmill..> YOU ARE A SUCCESS.... WHY?  Because you ARE doing it!  There's no "in between" with fitness.
Either you do it OR you don't.  Applaud yourself for doing it!

HAVE FUN THIS SUMMER!  We care :)

IF you're a "Creature of Habit" or the "Queen of Routine," Then you might as well
add one more title to your name....... A Baby.

I'm seriously being light hearted about this, However it is a subject one should
think about.
I think we ALL can fall under this category often, especially if we don't monitor
it thoroughly throughout our day to day lives.....

The Verdict?
We are all victims to comfort.

And comfort is the biggest indulgence we can give ourselves.
Too much of a good thing can still be a bad thing.

You may find yourself saying, "Life is Good." But if life is so good, then why aren't you happy? Because you're lacking adventure!  And adventure is anything different than your usual routine of life.

It can be as big as Bungee jumping to as little as cooking with a new recipe for dinner tonight. Both activities will make you feel alive.  Why? Cause feeling alive is simply living. And TRULY living is making choices.  And Boy do we have many options in life- yet we choose to do the same things day in and day out.

SO,,, Is it really "comfort" or is it the "uncomfortable" Fear that's locking us inside these walls of routine?  Again... Baby.

So,, do something different TODAY.  At least one thing to remind yourself you are wide open free. And I promise you'll come to life. Because you will then unleash different emotions by just tackling new territories-
Unleashing the REAL YOU- Unfiltered and Unedited.

Then life will not only be good,,, It will be so good, you'll sleep like a baby  :)

STOP WITH THIS AGE THING. EVERYBODY WE RUN ACROSS THAT STATES THEY ARE in their MID TWENTIES OR UP, ALWAYS FOLLOWS WITH THE STATEMENT "I KNOW, I'M OLD"  

Mid twenties... old?  Upper twenties, or even upper thirties.... OLD?  Where is the self love? 

The problem here is... They MAY be growing up (it's inevitable)  But their mind sets aren't.  They're still stuck with this superficial ignorant state of thinking, like they once did when they were "young."

A year older IS a year older, sure... But a year older could also mean a year FULLER. A year wiser, a year happier, only IF you start to pay attention.  Life does goes on- We DO grow.. but your mind should too.

So,,, Mature. Smash that clock above your head, and truly look around. Breath in, and appreciate the air in your lungs, appreciate the fact you met another day. APPRECIATE the knowledge you have gained by living here for however long you were living. Wisdom is a powerful thing. Wisdom is in relation to happiness. And Happiness is sexy. Take care of yourself, respect yourself.  You know what you want by now, So follow your built in instructions on how to make YOU happy. You've learned that by now. Don't neglect yourself. Cause then you will "age" feeling empty. I'd rather you "Grow" feeling fulfilled.

~Kristin & Cory~

Don't mean to be so blunt on this subject- it just hurts to know that the majority of people are living with this psychological stress. Be happy :)
