🌟 Community Spotlight: Burn Boot Camp Scottsdale

There’s a new sweat spot in town — Burn Boot Camp is opening a shiny new location in South Scottsdale this summer! 🏋️‍♀️

💙 Known for its supportive, high-energy 45-minute camps, Burn isn’t just for super-fit types or just for women (yep, the guys can get in on the burn too). Think strength training, personal trainer attention, and a community that actually wants to see you win.

✨ Soft opening starts July 7 — and they're offering 2 weeks FREE!
🎉 Grand opening party goes down July 19.
👶 Complimentary childwatch? Yep.
⚡ Unlimited camps? You bet.

📍7607 E. McDowell Rd, #105, Scottsdale, AZ 85257

🥤 Desert Bite: Juice Core (Old Town Scottsdale)

If you’re in the mood for something cool, clean, and energizing — Juice Core hits the spot. I dropped in today and was welcomed by the friendliest team (it’s family-owned 💛), who walked us through their juice and smoothie lineup.

My pick? The TropiKale — refreshing, slightly sweet, and packed with greens. My friend went for the Cold Brew, which is smooth, bold, and not from concentrate (major win). Everything is organic, raw, and made in-house daily.

📍Located in Old Town Scottsdale, Juice Core is a great post-yoga or pre-hike stop — or a just-because treat.

💫 Wellness Tip of the Week:
Why You’re Waking Up Tired on Mondays (and How to Fix It)

Let’s be real — if Monday feels like a truck hit you, it’s probably not Monday’s fault. It’s what your weekend’s been up to.

Here’s how to stop starting your week running on iced coffee and vibes:

🧃 Hydrate before you caffeinate — your brain’s first love is water, not espresso.
🌞 Get some sun in the AM, even if it’s just a stroll to the mailbox. It sets your body clock.
📱 Ditch the Sunday night doom scroll — light a candle, stretch it out, romanticize your wind-down.
⏰ Skip the 10AM sleep-in — it feels good until your 7AM alarm cries betrayal.

Reset your weekends → revive your Mondays. ✨

💌 That’s your Desert Dose

This weekend is packed with sound baths, sunrise flows, sweaty dance breaks, and cold brew that tastes like it’s straight from the bean (because it is). Whether you’re setting goals under the new moon, finding your next wellness crush, or just showing up for yourself, we’re here for it.

Take what you need, try something new, and forward this to a friend who’s always down for a wellness date 🌿✨
