This Thursday, we are kickin’ it with Lifestyle blogger Nelli Tokleh, co-author of GenPink. Nelli is an avid fitness-lover and traveler of the world. Check out her healthy living tips!
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Healthy Living to me is all about balance. Have a fun lifestyle but make time for fitness and sticking mainly to nutritional foods and drinks. As a millennial, it’s important to take care of our bodies now rather than later when it may be too late to stay healthy.
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
My Healthy Living role model is Maria Menounos. Her book, The EveryGirl’s Guide to Life, lists tasty recipe ideas, great tips on how to get into shape, and discusses the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time.
I love sushi with low-sodium soy sauce or a boxed frozen meal from SmartOnes.
Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
Take it slow when it comes to making a lifestyle change. For example, take the time to try out different foods that are healthy and stick to your favorite finds!
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
I never eat greasy fast-food!
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?
I would say that everyone should get in eight hours of sleep every day and work out at least 3 – 5 times a week.
What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?
I love Pink Grapefruit Cascade Ice!
This brand is a client of the agency I work for, and all opinions are my own.

Happy Thursday! This week, we are kickin’ it with Lifestyle blogger Tracy Ann Guida, author of My Other City By The Bay. Tracy is a fit foodie from Northern California on a quest to fall in love with Florida. Check out her healthy living tips!
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Ever since I was young, I have always been committed to eating healthy. One of my first role models was Madonna and her dedication to fitness inspired me when I was just 12 years old. I find that when I stick to a healthy eating plan and regular exercise, I feel better and have more energy. While I do allow myself cheat days, I am always sure to run an extra mile or two so I can have that slice of pizza or piece of cake.
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
The two that first come to mind are my two friends here in Tampa – Liz Kieffer and Stephanie Sanchez May. These two lovely ladies, who happen to be sisters-in-law, are incredibly dedicated to physical fitness and healthy eating. They both inspire me on a daily basis.
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time.
My go-to healthy meal is grilled chicken and steamed broccoli. I always have both on hand.
Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
Replace sugary drinks with healthy alternatives such as fruit infused water and Cascade Ice. My kids love adding fresh fruit to their water such as orange and lemon slices. Always be sure to have healthy snacks on hand such as fruit, veggies, celery sticks with peanut butter, etc. Swap TV time for group walks or bike rides.
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
I never eat white bread and only have fried food once in a blue moon.
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?
Sleep and hydration are essential. You must maintain your daily water intake and sleep is vital for health and wellness.
What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?
I love Coconut Cascade Ice. It reminds me of a tropical drink and I enjoy sipping on it while trying to stay cool in the Florida heat.
