They will be joined by the girls from Six Sisters’ Stuff, Alicia from Chic on a Shoestring, and Jared from Tone and Tighten for an amazing week of inspiring classes, beautiful cities, workouts (we gotta get our workout on!!), shopping, shore excursions, incredible food, and a relaxing vacation. We will be leaving out of Galveston, Texas, on the Carnival Triumph and will travel down to Progreso and Cozumel, where you can see old Mayan ruins, lay on the beach, snorkel, scuba dive, shop, or whatever else you want to do!
On the days we are at sea, join some of your favorite bloggers for some inspiring seminars and workshops. The purpose of this cruise is to focus on YOU and the amazing person that you are. We want you to walk away from this cruise feeling proud of yourself, who you are, and what you are doing.
