Traditionally, when you think of bachelorette parties, they often evoke images of women decked out in matching rhinestone ensembles, ‘bride to be’ sashes and groups of ladies stumbling out of a limo and into a club. While I definitely enjoy letting lose every now and then, I was not looking for this ‘traditional’ bachelorette experience. What I really wanted was to have an opportunity to bond with my girlfriends. I wanted a rejuvenating bachelorette weekend, where 20 of my cl

Britt is doing the high-impact version of each exercise below, while Cyn is doing the modified low impact version. A. Squat Thrust or Squat to Step Back Britt and Cyn are wearing Sweaty Betty in these shots. Start with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart, lower down into a squat as low as you can and bring hands to the floo

I love designing my home, and I am constantly looking for ways to update my home décor. My design esthetic is bohemian meets rustic chic, with a touch of modern California. Suffice it to say, I melt for an awesome vintage leather chair, or an amazing hand sewn pillow I pick up while traveling. A while back I got introduced to the idea of incorporating crystals into home décor, and decided to investigate further about why this décor trend was becoming so popular. Unsure of wha

These days, living a life of luxury and style doesn’t have to break the bank! Companies are popping up everywhere that make it easy for people to do both. Like everyone, Cyn and I are always looking to save money when we can — That’s why we get so excited to learn about the latest and greatest companies to come out of the sharing economy. Companies like Uber or Instacart have made typically expensive services accessible and affordable. An added plus, we get to support compani

A few years back I had just moved into a new place, and a friend of mine gave me a homemade succulent garden, and it was such a sweet and seriously thoughtful gift! It was beautiful, but it was also so special to me because it was a gift that had come from the heart, and my friend had taken the time to make it for me. Ever since then I have been totally inspired to be more thoughtful with my own gift giving. Cyn and I decided to try making these DIY terrariums we read about,

Summer beauty can be fresh, easy and fun with just a few adjustments to your regular routine. Getting a gorgeous summer glow for Cynthia and Brittany starts from within. Both women know that taking care of their bodies and minds with healthy eating and exercise is their biggest beauty "secret". An individualized skincare regimen, along with a few cosmetics for effortless summer glow, are the hidden gems for these ladies. First, let’s talk about the girl’s skin care essentials

There are a couple of things I can say I know with absolute certainty. I know the love I have for my family is unconditional. I know all too well that science and research can be the difference between survival and death. And I know in life that anything is possible. In the summer of 2011, I was 36, happily getting ready to move into a new house, and gearing up to begin production on my television show when I suddenly started experiencing flu-like symptoms, back pain and nigh

What do you get when you combine a ladies’ trip with a milestone birthday? The perfect mix of luxury X adventure. Cyn and I have always felt it was important to honor ourselves on our birthday, so for our 40th, we went ALL OUT. We invited our best girlfriends from junior high to come together for an epic trip to celebrate the fact that we were all turning 40 that year. Did I mention that we planned it and took off within 2 weeks?! We thought we’d share our favorite tips for p

I’m a big believer in balance and variety when it comes to a healthy diet. Recently, Cyn and I we’re lunching on a patio by the water in Malibu, and we came across a poke bowl on the menu. Now, poke has definitely been having a moment in recent years, so seeing it on a menu in Los Angeles isn’t surprising. However, not all poke bowls are created equal. They are a dish that can easily become packed with empty calories when they are served with too much rice and sauce. The one
