  SO I got this Parker Sequin top to wear in Paris and it never happened. I thought it would look great with these high waisted slacks and it just didn't work.  Back in La I paired with with these boyfriend jeans from Urban and loved it! Totally perfect for the quick shoot I had before meeting Dave for an early dinner.  Life is short wear the sequins:) I hope you have an amazing Saturday.  I am going to do some reorganizing in the studio and then I have a boudoir shoot which I am super excited about. Be thankful, be blessed, and kiss the one you love. Stay Inspired! Jana (more…)

Happy Friday Fitness y'all!!

  Colorado, New York, Miami, La in 7 days.  Wowzers! I just successfully ended the busiest week of the year.  I knew I had to take very good care of myself because I had 3 different jobs in 3 different states. I wore one of those mask on every airplane.  I downloaded sleep meditation music for the plane rides, I took tons of vitamin C, I drank a ton of water, and did not have any alcohol until the last night in Miami.  When I got back to La I took an epsom salt bath and slept for about 12 hours. And it was AWESOME! I had anxiety about it b/c I thought I would be exhausted but it was AWESOME! I'm also going to add an article that gives you some MAJOR brilliant tips on epsom baths here! Give it a read!  I wanted to share some of my travel photos and also I made just loaded a video on my Youtube Channel "Tips for Travel Photography" I talk about my go to lens as well as some other tips.  Oh and if you go to Colorado def check out Estes Lake, if your headed to NYC soon you must stay at The Eventi Hotel so cute, and Miami all I have to say about Miami is DISCO BRUNCH !!! Bring your dancing shoes! Oh I almost forgot, I used these detox foot patches after every flight. They are supposed to help with detoxify.  You sleep with them on the bottom of your feet:) Stay Inspired!] Jana (more…)

Fitness Friday : Stay fit while you travel

Health and Fitness tips and inspiration. 3 tips for traveling healthy, tips for eating healthy, , inspiration, janafromalabama fitness blogger, jana williams photograoher, victoria secret sports bra, lulu lemon pants, nike shoes, running in Colorado, travel photos, health and fitness blogger, tone it up travel workout,
Hey ya'll!  Happy Fitness Friday!  I am on a plane right now leaving Colorado heading to New York and then Miami & ya'll know I just got back from Paris. Wowzer. This is a crucial time for me to stay loyal to my Health plan. Its been a little almost a year since I lost around 20 lbs.  and I am determined to stay on the healthy path that I am on. SO I have 3 tips that I want to share with you for staying fit while you travel Plus a Tone it up Hotel room workout. These tips are things that I am learning along the way and have been helping me stay on course. #1 Pack healthy foods for your flight :  There was a time that I would always order wine on the flight so I could sleep. Well those days are long over. No wine for me on the flight I have awesome reading material and healthy snacks to ensure I don't eat any sugary snacks on the plane or depart the plane starving and desperate.  Here are a few snacks that I have been brining on the plane. Luna bars, Peanut butter, humus, bananas , rice crackers. So with the peanut butter the jar has to be unopened or you can only bring the 3 ounces, out you can bring several containers of 3 ounces, same with the humus. Also drink a ton of water on the plane.  Flying is dehydrating and can make you feel tired and hungry. So what if you have to get up to go potty several times its good to move your legs:) #2 Pack appropriate workout gear : Before flying to Colorado I read it was 92 degrees. I was like Okay its gonna be HOT! I did not pack a sweat shirt for any warn workout gear for my trip. Dang it. It was freezing on my early morning jogs so I ended up buying a sweatshirt.  The weather could have easily made me want to skip my cardio so I encourage you to be prepared for cold mornings wherever you are going.  Also The booty band I just ordered from amazon takes up no room in my bag and is awesome for hotel room workouts:) Here is a great hotel room workout from Tone it up!   #3 Book a hotel with a gym or heated pool If you are anything like me and you're traveling for work from city to city you might just go on priceless.com and book a room a few hours before hand because you never know where you are gonna be.  For instance last night I finished my shoot up in  Estes Park about 2 hours from Denver. My flight was early leaving for NYC. I could have stayed in Estes Park or Denver.  I opted for Denver. My priority in booing the hotel was that there was a gym.  I knew I had to wake up super early to get a workout in before heading to the airport. Yes the hotel was a little expensive but when you think about it, the price of 3 glasses of wine would make the difference. I skipping the wine these days and splurging on the gym amenities! Ha! And as always I just want to add that working out should be a mind , body, soul experience. We work out because it makes us feel good and personally I perform better at life. It's not all about a certain weight or a certain look. It's all about a certain feeling and relationship you have with yourself. Stay Inspired! Jana (more…)
