@boise_bucketfit UPDATE
Happy Saturday! Hope you’re enjoying this beautiful day ☀️ For those watching my IG stories, I’ve been on my own health and wellness journey, which includes working out at @ilovekickboxing_boise_id and checking in with @thatshiikray at @nutrishop_boise_meridian_nampa .
My @ilovekickboxing goal is minimum of 3 classes per week. And for my nutrition, it’s fueling my body every 2 to 3 hours & being mindful with choices.
Here is my update: ◾️Lost 6.9lbs my first week (3lbs of fat). ◾️ LOVING the community feel when I workout. That’s HUGE and vital toward my success ◾️ Exceeded my goal of 3 classes/ week (I’m now only 23 classes away for meeting my 50 class goal!) ◾️ I feel my clothes getting looser (haven’t documented my inches, but I’ll start this week). ◾️ I do not drink 🍸 during the week, and when I do it’s only 1 to 2 on the weekend ◾️ Heading to sleep early during the week to let my body fully rest.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR: join me for an intro full kickboxing class on Sunday, 10/6 at 1pm. It also includes loaner gloves (if you don’t have any). And it’s $10. Yes, it’s a workout but also a party! I love the music 🎶 & we get to workout together.
THANK YOU ALL for 1) encouragement DMs and 2) COMING to workout with me. This is a journey & I can say I’m starting to really embrace it 💕

Cheers to all who are on their own wellness & health journey 🌱 🏃🏽♀️ 🥊

HYDE PARK STREET FAIR
What are you doing this weekend?! I hope it’s heading to the @northendneighborhoodboise Hyde Park Street Fair 🎶 🥘. The annual Street Fair is a 3-day FREE community event; it’s also celebrating its 40th year anniversary 🎉 !
At the Hyde Park Street Fair, you can enjoy exploring the vendor booths, bring the kids for some fun activities, live music performances, & plenty of treats, eats & 🍷 + 🍺 to enjoy. The Fair starts tomorrow, Friday September 13th at 4pm; Sat 10am-9:30pm & Sun 10am-6pm
After my long road trip to Boise, I ended up staying at a local hotel because the apartment wasn’t ready yet for move-in. By chance, I ended up at the Street Fair because my brother had a date with someone who was also there 🤣 it was (and still is) a great memory of my first Boise event.

SEPTEMBER 11th MEMORIAL
Today marks the 18th anniversary of September 11 attacks. While it seems like some time ago when you say “18 years ago,” it’s quite vivid in my mind. I was just starting college, and the morning started off like any regular college freshman day. I still have my college planner where I was marking upcoming events for 9/11/2001. It’s still hard to watch videos & see photos from that day. Also - with both my parents from NYC, my aunt & grandmother working in the WTC only a year prior to the attacks, it’s especially hard.
Today, I saw @maggiektvb7 post a photo of a September 11th memorial site here in Boise. It’s located at 1775 W. Shoreline Drive. It’s a piece of the World Trade Center 🇺🇸. Thank you, Maggie for sharing this. I plan to visit later this evening. #NeverForget

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE I’m already seeing PSL pics pop up, and I’m itching to get my hands on the best ones in the BOI. Aside from the Seattle-based coffee chain, who else serves up your fav PSLs?!

🚨 INFLUENCER MARKETING COURSE 🚨
Today I had the honor to serve on a panel as part of the @meridianchamber_idaho Lunch Series where the topic was about influencer marketing. The panel was moderated by Mark of @thegrilldads , and I was joined by Natalie of @hellomeridian + Amber of @redskystory .
Over the course of building Boise Bucket List, I have navigating this influencer world by trial and error. Through my learning moments, I’ve consulted local business owners on how to successfully grow their business and brand awareness through this highly engaged and, quite frankly, necessary marketing tool.
With a majority of direct messages from businesses are about the how-to of influencer marketing, I decided it was best to create an online course where you can watch from home, take notes 📝 , follow the workbook, and conquer this topic — at a fraction of the cost of in-person workshops and consulting fees.
TODAY I am a happy to announce that I am accepting students for my NEW course: Influencer Marketing for the Small Business Owner. For only $29, you will learn: 🔺 The Value of Influencer Marketing 🔺 How to Properly Identify the Best One for Your Biz
🔺 How to Calculate Cost and Fees 🔺 Legalities of FTC Disclosure 🔺 How to Create a Campaign
AND SO MUCH MORE! All of this for $29 (limited time). Head to my bio to enroll today! Since it’s an online course, you can enroll from anywhere, not only Boise.
I will also be going Live this Thursday at 12pm MT to chat more about IG Influencer Marketing .
As IG continues to evolve, you + your biz need to understand the best ways to reach your target audience if you want to see results. #LINKINBIO to enroll
