Day 24

Daily Practice: 30 mins. Went through an old lesson. My voice was breaking a lot today. I think my allergies are preventing proper placement. I had a difficult time accessing my head voice. I'm starting to feel more confident about my mix, and really want to focus on my head voice.
Songs: Bobby's Girl. A Change in Me

It was so different taking class at the EDGE Performing Arts Center yesterday. That used to feel like home, and now I must say I miss Broadway Dance Center my new "home". It's bitter sweet to leave LA. I've really enjoyed the time with my friends, family and sunshine, but I'm also looking forward to going back to NYC and charging forward. I don't know what this next season of my life is going to look like, but I'm excited for the endless possibilities. :)

I said good bye to my family yesterday. :( Had a great time at my cousin's wedding and a wonderful birthday lunch with the family this weekend. Now I'm back in LA and off to visit some friends, take class at the EDGE, and watch a run through rehearsal of Funny Girl that my college roommate is choreographing. Ohhh and soak up some more California sunshine...I'm loving the weather!

Day 21

Daily Practice: 35 minutes. Went through some of Kurt's more advance exercises today. Realized I need to wait until I meet with him again, because I'm not sure I'm executing the more advanced exercises correctly. I also am trying to listen to pop music more to find a good song and add that quality to my voice. I warmed up my voice while curling my hair for the wedding. I must say that my curls turned out really nice because I would focus on my voice and hold the curling iron for a long time. lol However I don't recommend multitasking with a hot object. lol
Songs: Bobby's Girl. Stronger.

Healthy Meal # 20
French toast, with peanut butter, half a bannana, and sugar free syrup. It was so good I ate it before taking a picture. It's a good thing my friend was looking out for me and reminded me to take a picture of the left overs. :)









Healthy Meal #21
Picnic at the beach. :) Turkey, munster cheese, tomato, avacado, lettuce, celery, carrots, ranch dip, pita chips, oranges and apples. ( We forgot to pack the bread! lol)


My cousin's wedding was beautiful. I did take a picture of the meal, but decided that it didn't qualify as a healthy meal because of all the heavy mexican food. I did fill my plate with a third of veggies though. ;)

Day 20

Daily Practice: 45 minutes. Went through my last lesson and tried to focus on transitioning between the places in my voice. esp middle to head voice. I practiced outside and all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking and harmonizing with me. lol
Songs: Stronger. Everywhere. Bobby's Girl.

It's a beautiful, bright, sunny day here in LA. My body is still on NY time, so I woke up at 6. Did pilates, warmed up my voice, had a healthy breakfast, went to my friends rehearsal for a modern company, then had a BBQ at another friends house. :) AWWWWW Vacation.

Healthy Meal 18: High Fiber cereal, 2% milk( I am staying with a friend who's husband only drinks 2%), and a bannana


Healthy Meal 19: Whole wheat tortilla, spanish rice, beans, romaine lettuce, avacado, onion, delicious salsa( for ony $4 ...I love the west coast).
