Dancer & Trainer

I like to dance... so much that I've been inspired to become an instructor, which inspired me to become a personal trainer first as to be a more informed dance instructor.

I'm in the middle of studying hard with a plan to be certified this fall as an ACE Personal Trainer. By the end of the year, I will be certified as a pole dance instructor.

On my wishlist for one day soon (maybe next year or thereafter) is to share my love of dance with the beautiful ladies in my neighborhood and beyond at my very own dance studio in Seattle.

Blogger & Baker

I blog about my fun & foibles in the Pacific Northwest. Check out my blog at www.sparkleANDsplat.com for recipes & posts!

Topics cover anything from gardening, to cooking & baking, puppies (Shiba Inus rock!), dancing & aerial arts, home projects, mopeds & more.

My recipes fall into the gluten-free category, and as of late, dairy-free too. I only use duck eggs if any eggs at all (substituting with an egg replacer instead). I LOVE coconut, so you'll often find coconut oil, canned coconut milk, coconut water, refrigerated coconut milk, etc. in my recipes. If I were allergic to coconut, I think I'd have to cry. Going gluten and dairy free has not been easy, and I applaud anyone who is trying (even when failing). Giving up a lifetime of tasty habits is hard to do and vigilant work. It gets easier!

Ciao!
