Some of my fave things…plus a surprise for you!
Some of my fave things…plus a surprise for you!
Hey guys!!!
How did your Monday start off? Happy I hope!! I just feel like doing a random post about some of my fave things right now that are adding simple bits joy into my life. I want you to explore things that make you smile, and do more of it. If you’re not sure what that thing is…then try some of mine! Here we go:
1. Loving tea right now! Well ok, I always have. I went to Whole Foods yesterday and bought this TAZO apricot vanilla creme tea and it smells like a YOLO drink and feels so soothing down my throat!
2. My new Breville Crystal Clear Glass Kettle. I have never owned a plug-in-the-wall kettle til now and lemme tell you…it encourages me to drink more tea! Hence the reasoning for #1 in this post. Boils so quick and looks pretty at the same time.
3. Cutesy mugs. I love buying adorbs kitchen ware and utensils because I love looking at them. And the more I wanna look at them, the more likely I am to cook and eat at home. Get it? Human beings are designed to be attracted to lovely things…they just make us feel good, so why not feed that desire and create your own positive reality everyday? I love shopping at HomeGoods or World Market for great and affordable dishes, mugs, cups, pillows, furniture…everything! Ahh love those stores.
4. Umm. Is that NOT that biggest macaron you have ever seen? I visited MILK today in West Hollywood on a whim and was in for a sweet sweet (too sweet) treat. This is blueberry crumble ice cream smooshed between 2 perfectly baked macarons. The cookies were chewy and perfect.
Here is the purple diva of a cookie sandwich next to the Thai Tea flavored beast. I had heard a lot about this MILK place and wanted to give it a try. I had a case of the Monday blues (I think my period is approaching soon) and needed a quick pick-me-up. Hey hey don’t judge. I already got my workout in and that usually makes me peppy, but my mood was wonky today. Just wanted to get out of the house and do something REBELLIOUS. You know ;P
That huge mama was only $5 and that’s really good when you consider that the lil baby ones are $2 a pop. Give it a try next time you wanna YOLO it up!
5. What filter is that!!?? Common question I get on my Instagram @Blogilates a lot. These amazing sparkles and bokeh effects are my fave way to spruce up (or should I say girlify) a picture! These are my top go-to bokeh apps:
– Lumie $1.99
– DeluxeFX $0.99
– PicFX $1.99
I also got some cool new clothes that I want to share with you but I will save that for another post since I didn’t take any pics yet! Got some great open toe booties for Fall! They make no sense, but whatevs, they’re hot.
Oh and let’s address that second part of the title shall we?
A surprise for you???
8.28.13
Save the date.
On August 28th, 2013, you will get something that you’ve been asking for for over 2 years now. I’ve listened to your suggestions on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, here, and all the emails in my inbox…I’ve worked hard to come up with a tool that will satisfy all of your needs. Your present will help you stay on track with workouts, it will make eating/cooking clean easier, it will help you get closer to other POPsters, and it will allow you to share your thoughts in a safe and encouraging community. Imagine a place where you can share your triumphs and struggles without judgement. Where you can be you, raw.
Who wants a stab at what this is? Leave your answer in the comments!

I accidentally logged out of the app and now when trying to log back in it tells me my twitter account is not detected 😩 how Can I log back in?
Hi Cassey! I hope you’re doing well! Seeing the redesign of your website always makes me wonder if you’re planning to redesign the app to give it the same kind of look? (After all, the website looks so beautiful now, and I’d love to see the new Blogilates logo as a cute app icon!) I know you must be super busy with planning for your wedding and everything at the moment, but I’d love to see the app looking more like the website someday!!!😍
OMG THE APP. OMG ITS TOMORROW. OMG YAAAAY. ❤❤❤❤ SO FREAKIN EXCITED. LOVE YOU CASSEY. I BET ITS PERFECT.

Forum!! You said Cassey that you’d been working on a blogilates community back in December of like 2011!!! That will be super duper exciting, because then I can see who in my community does blogilates. i just hope it isn’t like a 30 year old man because that’d be weird and sad because i am only 14 and want a workout buddy. i feel like i’m getting a birthday present or something. LOL! I love you cassey!

I thought it would be the forum actually, that’s what I’m hoping! If it’s the app, I won’t be able to use it with my old phone :p
I am also excited, but I don’t thik it is app.
i hope it’s an app 🙂
I hope it’s not an app… I dont have a smartphone 🙁 Actually nobody at my school does.
An app or a forum!
If it’s an app, and you decide to support iPhone only, I will be very sad. And then I would offer to write an Android equivalent.
an Iphone app!!!! IPhone app I cant wait >.< ahhh so excited I only do workouts for fun, well used to, but I am making meal plans this year to start eating healthy and working out with a goal this time 🙂
an app or a forum? either one would be awesome! you are such an inspiration =) please keep it up!
You introduced me to healthy living in January 2012, and I haven’t given up on it since! Thank you for all you’ve done for us, and for this surprise in the future! I hope to “get a stab at it” and enjoy your generosity to the fullest. Congrats on all the great accomplishments you’ve achieved and those to come!

Can’t wait to see what it is for real!
BUT, whatever it is I know it will be great, so thanks for everything you’ve done for me so far, Cassey.
And thanks in advance for what’s to come!
XOXO
Oh my god oh my god it’s the community isn’t?! Isn’t it?! Oh my god oh my god I’m soooo excited! Ahh!!!
Hoping it’s an app!
Ohh surprise?! Is it a community page? XD
If it’s an app, hopefully there’s a Windows Phone version for it~
And that apricot vanilla creme tea has a very nice aroma! I’m a huge fan of tea and never miss any single day without one XD
A blogilates app!!! Please please please!!!
Omg I hope its the app?!?! I wonder what platforms they’ll be offered in.
If it’s an app I hope it’s free! 😀 I’m getting really really really excited!! Cassey what is it????
EEEEEEK! so excited 🙂
I love teas too, by the way.
I’m a new POPSTER, but I hope it is a way to customize exercise and nutrition needs 🙂
I hope it’s an app!!!!!!!!!!! I’m just too excited 😀
It has to be the app you have been talking about for a while now.!!!!!!
Is it an app??
I LOVE tea and cute mugs too! I collect mine whenever I can hahaha, although I don’t have a glass kettle (just a regular one). And now I want to try that apricot and vanilla creme one >.< That macaron looks soooo good. Must try! I love you Cassey!!!
I think it might be an app (I HOPE IT HAS A CALORIE COUNTER!) or a forum. (:
I think it will be a community website — like the Tone It Up! Community. 🙂
That would be great too!!!
blogilates app!!!!
AN APP!!!!!!! YES!!! OMG
It’s a website, isn’t it?! XD I’m so excited!!
it is the app..im sooooooo sure!
Everyone thinks it will be an App. Which, if it is, sucks for me. I am probably one of the few people who does not have a cell phone, Facebook, twitter, or any of that stuff. Guess I’ll be left out like always.
Well you don’t have to be left out!! You would honestly benefit from at least getting Facebook it as Cassey posts A LOT on there! You may as well catch up with technology and social networking sites now, as they’re only gonna get more advanced! 🙂
xoxo
blogilates app? yay sooo excited 😀
i love the cup!!! it’s so cute! and that macaroon looks delish! i want to try that next time i’m in la! 🙂 i hope the app will be available on android! i think i’m going to get an android instead of an iphone 😛
Yeeeeeeeees! At last an app!! Thank you Cassey!!!
If it’s an app and you have a windows phone phone, you’re gonna have a bad time..I know I will 🙁
My thoughts exactly, Moni… I super hope it comes out for ALL platforms, not just the iphone!
yeah..I guess we weren’t lucky.
It’s definitely an app!
I’m guessing forum where we can also see on a map where all the other Popsters are?
That would be great ^^ then I wont feel as lonely when exercising ^^ Yay to technology !!!
If it’s an app, hope it’s for the Droid phones too! ^_^
Its so an app. Yay! <3
BLOGILATES APP!!!!!
A MEETUP! Please? 🙂
It’s definitely an app: ”keep track of workouts and cheap eats”
You should try the Yogi Teas. They are the best I have ever tasted.
And if I should guess
A community? I don’t know but I wait and see, actually I will write it down in my calender, hah just for fun.. But I look forward to see what it is.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE AN IPAD APP!!!!!!
A forum! Oh, with maybe some extra special recipes… Or like a workout tracking app? IDK but it’s gotta be awesome!
An App??!!!!????!!!???!!!!!???
I have the EXACT same glass kettle and it’s amazing! I discovered the popularity and convenience of electric kettles while living in Ireland. Everyone there has them for making a quick cup of tea all day. So smart!
Please let it be an app!
It is the community forum, perhaps?
I hope it’s an app!!! If it is, please, please, please be available in the Google Play store! I can’t wait!! <3
AN APP!!?! That would literally be amazing. imagine having all the workouts on your phone plus so much more! sounds like heaven to me 🙂
YAY the Bolgilates App!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! so super excited!!!

Just kidding. From everyone’s comments I am pretty sure it’s an app! But whatever it is I am super excited!
Is it the app?! :O I hope it is! 😀
If its an app I think I’m going to die of excitement!;D
If it’s the app, I do really want it to be available for Android devices too!!! 🙂
Ok sooooo excited for the surprise! I think it’s either the app or the community. either way, YAYYYYYYYYYY popsters unite!
OMG!! Blogilates APP??? I am already dreaming about it!! 😀
Yaaay it seems like the community is finally going to be launched! So excited ^^
Sounds like a cookbook!!❤ Lol
My birthday is August 15th & if your surprise is a Blogilates App. then I am getting the BEST BELATED BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!! I can’t wait!!
I’ve never tried macarons but they look so yummi *O*
Anyway… about the surprise…. is it the BLOGILATES APP?! >.<
I hope so.. I'd really love it! 🙂
I love tea too!! My fave is green tea, but now I want to try this apricot and vanilla crème one =D
XXX
app!!! wheeeeee!
BLOGILATES APP???
SQUEEE!!! I’m sooo hoping its an app! I can’t wait if it is <3
Sounds like an App to me!! woop!
Blogilates COMMUNITY!!!! 😀
Yes, community all the way!!
I am really hoping that its an app. Would loooove it!!! I had to stop doing blogilates because of my summer schedule. I was constantly traveling and could only squeeze in a few workouts. I used to be so religious about doing the monthly calenders too. Started back last week on the beginner calender so I wouldn’t die that first week. Really sad I missed that PopHIIT month (Okay, no not really). 🙂 Thanks Cassy for all you do!
Sounds great !
I think we need more Before & After stories ! They’re my FAVE ! x
Hey ! I have a really important question. How do i avoid straining my neck when im doing crunches ? i do hold my neck but it still hurts whenever i do crunches- any tips!!!!!
BLOGILATES APP!!!!!!
It has to be either an app or a forum OR better yet an APP with a forum……
I am absolutely excited about the app. (because that’s what it sounds like) I can’t wait to be able to be even more in the community! Thank you Cassey, you rock. 🙂
I’m so so so hoping that it’s THE APP! It’s going to make my life so much easier, i.e harder to cheat 😉 Bring it on!
Sounds like an app to me! 🙂
Whatever it us, I’m totally excited about it!!!! You rock Cassey!
could it potentially be…. THE APP?? the one you were designing a way back?? maybe?? possibly? please let it be!!!
App I hope 🙂
Yaaaay! I hope it’s an app!
App! I hope.
Is it the Blogilates community on here you were talking about last year? I actually wanted to ask about it!!
I love teas! All kinds! Coffee too but tea brings me back to when I was young. My grandmother used to make tea for us all the time!
It´s the Blogilates app with a community forum in it 😀
I CAN’T WAIT!!
Those macaroons looked amazing – especially the purple one. Sugar for breakfast, anyone? 😉 (I’m kidding)
I hope it’s going to be an app…and i really hope, that it will be abailable in Germany also…because I LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!!
If it’s an app (THANK YOU THAT IS AMAZING!!!) pleasepleaseplease make it available on Android!
It’s about time there was a good Fitness app – where you can take pictures of your food, record your workouts and watch videos – i usually watch your videos when I am at the gym, and when I am low on motivation I will stick on one where you talk (like the clean eating one) as it helps motivate me sooooo much! x
I THINK IT’S THE BLOGILATES APP!!!!!!
I hope its an APP!!!!
It’s probably a community page or an app with it! I’m really excited if she will finally launch a community for all of us to enjoy and share our goals!
This is going to sound weird but if its an app my life will be complete! This will be so helpful!!!
Even if it’s not an app I’m pretty sure whatever it is, is going to be awesome!
Whatever it is I hope it’s available outside the US. I live in Singapore and chance upon this awesome site 3 months ago and have been in love with it since! Can’t wait!
Sounds like an app 🙂 that’s awesome! 😀
Cassey! Did you Asian parents ever tell you not to eat ice cream before your period? I know you don’t get cramps but from my experience ice cream tends to make periods more painful–cause I’m sure you know the Chinese “hot” and “cold” foods right? that women’s bodies get “cold” during their period so we’re supposed to have lots of “hot” foods, and avoid “cold” foods. Hopefully you know what I mean 🙂
I guess this comment could include what’s happening in my POP Pilates journey right now. I’m on week four of the beginner’s calendar!!!!!!!!!! Seriously I love that I’ve stuck it out for so long, but gosh it doesn’t feel that long! The workouts typically have me sweating and gasping and burning, but you make it all better (brainwashing as you put it). More and more I love healthy foods just for being healthy and I feel like my body-mind connection is getting stronger. Finally, I know what I want on my vision board; I just need to do it! Haha you make life so lively; THANK YOU!<3
I totally can relate! I find that if i eat or drink ‘cold” stuff a week or so prior to my period, my cramps are really painful! and if i avoid the cold stuff then i barely get cramps! Definitely recommend popsters to try this especially if they get really bad cramps.
If it is an app my life is complete now!
I wonder what’s in store for August 28. Hmmm… I bet that would be the blogilates app or a social community (like forum) for popsters!
Please please please, if its an app make it available for Samsung Galaxy note2. 😀
I hope it’s the APP, if it is Cassey I don’t mind paying! You deserve it 🙂
It must be the Blogilates app!! OH MY HOLY GOD CASSEY YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW INSANELY GREAT THIS IS GONNA BE!!!!!!!!!!!!
+1, I’m so excited !! This is the perfect present to start the school year right !! Thank you Cassey !
if it’s a blogilates app then I just need an iphone, pronto. perfect excuse 😉
Omg, i’m so excited! 😀
CASSEY! Please make your next tour to HAWAII for a workshop! I know that you would love it here and I have so many friends that subscribed to Blogilates and love it! <3 It's the reason I get up in the morning.
APP for smartphone!!!! it would be great. if it’s an app, I hope will be also for Android 🙂
It must be a Blogilates app!!
I have a feeling that it’s an online class?!
blogilates apps perhaps? *wishing*
oh my goddd is it an app? i really hope it is!! i’m so happy for you cassey and thanks for everything! <3
OMG!!! It’s the effinggg BLOGILATES APP!!!! ^^ Can’t wait!
Sounds like its going to be a community page type thing! Like a facebook but just for popsters?
I liked hearinga bout all your favorite things btw 🙂 I personally don’t like ‘Yolo’ smelling teas. The taste is such a let down after amazing smell! haha, but thats just me.
<3
a forum!
blogilates app!!
Soooooo excited for this!!
I’m guessing the community will be up on the 28th? 🙂
i’m hoping it’s an app to keep us on track on the go, would be perfect 🙂
I think you nailed it!
