Earth Day! April 22nd

“Earth Day is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment.” That’s was just a little something I got from good ol Wikipedia. To me Earth Day should be a day for everyone to recognize what they can do to help out and save the Earth or get out and enjoy the Earth…Mother Nature. As I have become older I have become more aware of the importance to recycle and do what I can to help the Earth, nature and our environment. Sure when I was younger I really didn’t care. I can remember throwing cans in the garbage thinking “eh someone will get them out & recycle” wow I’m embarrassed to even admit that but at least I am aware now & making a change. Two things I do and do it everyday…recycle and I do not use plastic bags. Anytime I go to the store I bring my own bags. Two simple things we can all do to make a difference.

Sunday I went for a beautiful hike to enjoy nature. This is the 4th weekend in a row I have been out on a hike. I’m hooked. So many beautiful things to see and take in. I get inspired and I feel alive when I am out walking around surrounded by Mother Nature. Try it. Get out and surround yourself with the peaceful sounds and be visually stimulated by nature.

prolonged life & feelin GOOOOOOD!

Throughout your life you grow & learn not only about yourself but how you feel physically. I want to talk about something that has been a part of my life since i was a kid and that is physical activity. It started when I was about eh…eight years old. I was in gymnastics. I was pretty good at it til I had some growth spurts and was the tallest kid in my class. We all know most gymnasts are more on the petite side and I am NOT petite by any means haha. Then I became very active in school sports. From soccer, track, basketball and volleyball. I was ALWAYS involved in something. When I was in high school I started lifting weighs in the gym. I started at the age of 17. From that day forward the gym and lifting weights has been a BIG part of my life. I was never one to take a month off. If I needed time off it was because I was sick. I think the longest time I took off was about 2.5 weeks and that’s when I had got my boobs. When I first started it was learning the movements and form. Then I started training heavy to gain size. fast forward about 20 years or so and now my body can feel the heavy training use. I have a few injuries here & there. Some days I can feel them and some days I cannot. My hip is giving me problems along with my forearms and shoulder. I have had to completely change my way of thinking when I go into the gym now and stick to a different workout routine. I train light & a lot more reps now. Some days I just want to push a lot of weight but I know I just cannot because I will feel it and it will only make things worst.

So how am I able to deal with it mentally…well I want to be able to be active for the rest of my life. When I am 65 I want to be able to go for a hike or do dumbbell curls in the gym. Being active is so important to me and in order to remain active Ive had to make these changes. So Ive accepted it. Sure my body has changed with the result of it. I may not be as muscular as I was but I am okay with that if I will be able to live more active for longer. Living a prolonged life and feeling good is whats important to me now rather than pressing the 50 lb dumbbells over head for 12 reps. I’m over all that! Awww getting older…..my Mom always told me “Andrea, when you get older you will see” haha Moms always tend to be right. Coming from her I am glad I listened when I did. Don’t want to end up having a dozen surgeries between my knees & shoulders like she has had from all the heavy lifting years. Happy Living All!!! XOXO

Apple Crush!

Do you ever get the urge to crush things? Like see how much power you have from within yourself? Some people punch walls…I crush apples. HAHA yeah you heard that right. Try and take an apple in your bare hands and crush it? My latest clip I made was exactly that. Four apples to CRUSH for your crushing pleasure.

APPLE CRUSH

From the Beach to the Mountains in 30 min

One of the best parts of LA that I enjoy the most is the nature here. You can see the beach & the mountains all in the same day. Been going on alot of nature hikes on the weekends. I love the outdoors now than ever before. Its so good to get out and take it all in. Get away from the hussle & bussle of your life. Get away from people, traffic, your house, TV, neighbors, etc. Its something that EVERYONE can do too. All you have to do is get away from your comfort zone and GET OUT. Step away from the TV, the computer and anyone holding you back. Take a drive or a walk outside and just look around.Hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. I did ♥

thirtay seven

Yep turned 37 Friday March 9th and I thought I would feel different but I don’t lol. Had a nice weekend with my Mom that came down to visit me Friday on my birthday til Sunday. We hung out, walked on the beach and went out to eat. Brazilian food on my birthday, frozen yogurt the next day and then out for breakfast the last day. So I would say it was a nice birthday WEEKEND! Now that the time moved ahead a full hour the days are longer. oh man do I enjoy that. Well gonna make this a short one. Need to get my ass in gear and get some things done. Oh…I am really going to start being more cautious of my typing. I have become in a bad habit of just typing in all lower case and its really just well….lazy haha. So I am going to be using this shift key from now on. See, did you see how I capitalized that “S” and “I” haha. Okay peeps, hope the weekend was good to ya and today is even better for ya. XO

Ask Yourself !?!

do you ever talk to yourself and have a conversation? i don’t think its crazy i think its important. its called self talk and i think many of us have little conversations with ourselves a lot. sometimes you don’t even need to talk things over with anyone else but yourself to get an answer. check out this LINK and scroll down the page and answer some of these questions to yourself. i must say some of them i was left blank. but most i knew the answer right away.

just for fun how would you answer this one? some would say money would be first because all the rest would follow. some think fame because fame leads to money to happiness and then love i guess? well for ME, this is my order…..Health, Happiness, Love, Money, Fame. to me my HEALTH is #1. some people would say happiness is number one but honestly when i am not healthy i am not happy.  i cant do anything when i am not healthy. all the money in the world does me no good if my health is not in good standing. that’s why i take care of myself & its very important for me to feel good. Happiness is second for me. gotta be Happy in life. have fun and enjoy every moment. if your not happy you cant find love. which leads me to Love, then Money then Fame. i chose fame to be last because well…im not all about having a ton of attention in the public eye. a little attention is okay but i do appreciate my private life.

so ask yourself…whats your order of importance?

Terracotta Army

one night i was up late flipping through the channels. i came upon this interesting program on these terracotta warriors. as i was glued to the TV listening to this fascinating find i became very interested in wanting to know more. that’s when i discovered some of these warriors would be at a Los Angeles museum. I could actually drive to see some of these in real life.

if you are not aware of this amazing discovery in China i will give you a brief run down. the terracotta army was discovered in the 1974 by a group of farmers that were drilling for a well. now were talking about 8,000 of these life sized warriors and horses that were created in 259-210 BC. i would say that is a very long time ago lol. amazingly no two faces are the same on these warriors. each one unique in its very own way.

i went to the museum here in LA and im glad i did. it was breathtaking to see these live and up close. they only had five life sized statues. four warriors and one horse. they also had many smaller ones. i was never one to really be interested in history until recently. when i saw this on TV i knew i had to go & im glad i did. one day i would love to go see the pits full of these warriors in China….someday!

C4S

“One of the greatest freedoms is simply not caring what everyone else thinks of you. Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and what you want to be. The best thing you can do is follow your heart. Take risks. Don’t just accept the safe and easy choices because you’re afraid of what others will think, or afraid of what might happen. If you do, nothing will ever happen. Don’t let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big. They aren’t.”  

I read this one night before I went to bed. It really hit home because I have been going back & fourth in my head about something….my clips4sale store. Yes Im sure many of you know I have a C4S but Im sure some do not. The reason why I never advertised about it on here is because I have friends & family that read my blog that are not into the “fetish/bodybuilding/wrestling” scene let alone understand it. So I guess I have always tried to keep it separate. Which is cool and all but there comes a point in life when you really have to say “Who really cares”  This is my blog and if I have posted a really fun clip I want to be able to say so here. Im sure some will say…”oh wow what is Andrea doing now? OMG I cant believe it!” people are so judgmental already without even knowing what, when, how & why. This is me, take it or leave it. I flex on webcam for female muscle sites & I make domination, wrestling, flexing and kick your ass clips all for extra income along with my cookie & cupcake making. Yes I know that sounds a little odd but hey….I like a little variety.

So…most of my clips are wrestling, lift & carry, trash talk blah blah blah. Fun stuff!. Some are from photo shoots I did when I competed and was in tip top shape. Some nudes, some topless…yea so you never seen a set of boobs or a naked body before? Big deal right? haha! Some are even from requests. Yea I normally don’t humiliate guys with small penises but hey if you want to pay me $100 for a 10 min clip I will gladly make fun of you and your lil guy along with posting it on my store to generate more cashola ! LOL. Clips4sale has been a good addition to my income. I make the clips when I feel like it and it generates money. There are many many MANY fetishes out there to take your pick from. I choose stuff more along the lines of a powerful woman. I like to destroy things !

Bottom line is, I make some income from my muscles & powerful nature. I have fun doing it. When Im not doing that I am in the kitchen baking cookies. Anyways…I will leave you with my latest clip…BEATDOWN! sexy cop gives some punk burglar a rude awakening. Oh that was fun!

PS….I know I am WAY OVER due on my blog. This has been my longest absence so far. BUT I have a good excuse…having FUN with life ♥
okay be back soon…
