Birthday Bash at the Bar Method

If you follow me on Instagram, then you were probably bombarded with b-day party madness last weekend for my big 3-0. And if you don’t follow me on “the gram,” no need to worry. You’ll get your fair share of birthday bliss right hurr. #YoureWelcome. Now my version of a “Birthday Bash at the Bar” is probably not what you were expecting to hear. Instead, it was a killer workout at The Bar Method – San Francisco Marina Studio.

There is nothing like starting the weekend with a ~~whooping~~ bang. And when a 60 minute workout involves master teacher Jen (left), and former Raiderette star, Kathleen (right), that is what you’re going to get. It was an absolute honor and privilege to introduce my fav bloggers and babes to the other kind of bar. The bar responsible for transforming my twigs for arms to guns, and my push-up ability from zero to 50. But more about the workout later. So how does one throw a birthday bash at the bar? With all of the obligatory party sweets and eats, goodie bags, and a theme of course!

Toasty, the finest establishment for avocado toast, fed my guests post workout grub. The spread included traditional avo toast and my personal favorite, the bruschetta “toasty.” A refreshing item was also on the menu – acai bowls. Aka the, “California Classic.” But it would not be a birthday party without cake. Sift Dessert Bar put together the most delicious assortment of mini cupcakes and macarons. They were adorned with rose gold and all the glitter to match the theme of the party! Never have I ever laid eyes on a more gorgeous edible creation.

In an effort to show my guests some love, I partnered with my go-to companies to secure nifty raffle items. K-DEER is my NUMBER ONE brand in activewear, and we collaborated to give one lucky winner a $100 gift card! Jonathan donated a 10 week supply of Latisse. Who doesn’t covet longer lashes?! Cover FX provided a raffle basket and awesome goodie bag swag. Sorry to say it, but if you have not yet tried the Perfect Setting Powder, your face is missing out. Last but not least, everyone got a taste of my favorite nutritious snack, courtesy of RXBAR.

But none of this would have been possible without the generosity of The Bar Method. Thank you Heather for helping my vision become reality. Together we created a very “rosey” party scene with balloons and all the sparkling fixings (literally and figuratively).

Hi, my name is Kelsey and I love to work out! In fact, my body craves it. I have always been a hyper person and exercising is a productive way for me to release my excess energy. This month marks five years as a Bar Method student and my retirement is no where in sight. When I’m not stretching and elongating my muscles at the barre, I’m running down the right wing on the field hockey field. Catch me if you can! My active lifestyle calls for a lot of activewear. As you can probably imagine, I spend lot of time finding stylish and functional workout clothes. I don’t have the energy or the patience to “fight” with my pants to stay in place. There are only a few brands that I will even consider putting on my body and, New Orleans Yoga Apparel is one of them!

NOYA

If you’re new to my blog, allow me to explain my connection to Louisiana. I am a proud LSU Alum – Geaux Tigers! But I got more than my education down on the bayou…I got the southern gentleman of my dreams to marry me! Although presently a California girl, I still have an appreciation for the Louisianian culture. New Orleans Yoga Apparel (NOYA) is singlehandedly spreading New Orleans flair across the country and I’m lovin’ it! If you’ve never experienced a craw fish boil in person, take the party to Pilates in these precious pants. There are no words. Never mind the snow ball print (why hasn’t someone opened a stand in SF?!). The list goes on but you should really click here to see the designs for yourself. Words do not do them justice.

The Fit

Now let’s talk about the fit. The older I get the higher I like my pants to rise! Ha! Luckily for me these suckers feature a foldable high rise waistband. I don’t bother rolling it down because I like when my pants make my wanna be abs feel tighter! As far as the fabric, it stretches with you. This is something I do not take for granted. Whether I am stretching at the bar or jogging to and fro these pants stay in place. They are lightweight yet they provide ample coverage. They have passed the peek-a-boo stretch test – they are NOT see-through! I am wearing the full length leggings, but rolled them up to accommodate my shorter than average sticks. Other patterns are available in capri length. Now do you believe me when I say, I workout to satisfy my sweet tooth?! Be sure to tune into Instagram tonight for a chance to win a pair of NOYA leggings of your choice!
