Hi!

I'm Alison, a yoga instructor, lifestyle blogger and Long Beach native, living in Southern California with my husband Chris and German Shepard, Zeus.

This blog has been a space to share my adventures in fitness, food, travel and more as I’ve lived in San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, and now Orange County. I hope that my posts help inspire you to live your happiest and healthiest life!

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to say hi over on my Contact page :)

Adventure in Rancho Palos Verdes

Wayfarers Chapel

Decided to stop by here simply because it is the most breathtaking church I have ever seen. I fall in love with it more and more every time I go visit. (Major props to Lloyd Wright!)

I know you can't really see it in the photo above, but that spot in the middle of the ocean is a Gray Whale! Bummed I missed it with my camera but it was so awesome to watch it surface and take a breath of fresh air (fun fact: whales don't actually blow water out of their blowholes, they expire air).

Terranea Cove

And of course... stretching out after our hiking adventure :)

Exciting things are coming soon to TakeOffYourPartyDress so keep your eyes open... 

Happy New Year to all! Here we come, 2015!!
