About the bloggers on the cruise:

Alicia is the founder of “Chic on a Shoestring”– a style and wardrobe consulting company.

As a trained wardrobe stylist, Alicia’s worked with the Clinton Kelly from “What Not to Wear,” sits on the Macy’s Advisory Board and recently taught all the First Ladies in the country at the National Governors’ Association annual meeting, but she still has a very practical approach to you, your body and your closet.  “You have a shopping list when you go to the grocery store, you should also have a plan for your wardrobe,” she often tells her clients.   At the heart of her wardrobe strategy is teaching REAL women with REAL bodies how to identify the most flattering clothes for their body shape to find their personal best. Since founding her company in 2003, Alicia has been a regular on TV with a weekly wardrobe segment for the last ten years on both the ABC and CBS television affiliates.  Then in 2005 she combined her love of travel and bargain shopping into “Chic” shopping tours with regular excursions to China, New York and Italy.  Alicia completed a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Clothing and Textiles from Brigham Young University.  She and her husband stay very

busy raising four children.

Camille is the oldest of the six sisters from the popular blog, Six Sisters' Stuff.

Camille graduated with a degree in elementary education, but decided that she really enjoyed working in retail and managing a business, so she never actually taught school (although she swears she uses her education every day raising her children). Camille loves being a stay-at-home mom, but always wanted to do something to help pay the bills. Before blogging, she ran a successful online eBay store and helped put her husband Jared through Physical Therapy school. When her sisters started blogging, she put her store on hold to see if they could make something happen with the blog. She has loved watching it grow into what it is today because of the family's hard work and determination. Blogging has opened many doors and Camille is now a regular contributor on a couple local lifestyle TV shows, has done multiple radio, newspaper, and magazine interviews across the country and the sisters just finished writing their second cookbook after their first book was a #1 best-seller on Amazon. In her spare time, she loves to go to the gym, read, catch up on TV shows with her husband spend time with her three children.

Stephanie is the 4th of six sisters from Six Sisters' Stuff.

She recently graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Communication Studies. She is now the full time Social Network Specialist for SixSistersStuff.com and loving every minute of it (the sisters consider her to be a social media master)! She recently married her best friend Andrew and they are loving life as newlyweds! Steph loves reading and will sometimes disappear for hours just reading a book. She also loves running and has completed numerous half marathons, Ragnar Relays, and recently ran her first full marathon last fall. She keeps up with her favorite shows New Girl and Grey's Anatomy faithfully.

The sisters are excited to share their expertise about blogging, strategies for meal planning, how to bring your family together, family dinner ideas, and other ideas to help you realize how incredible you are and what you are capable of.

Jared is a physical therapist and the guy behind the fitness blog, Tone and Tighten.

With a doctorate degree in physical therapy, a bachelor's degree in exercise science, and a career that focuses on exercise prescription, Jared knows what it takes to be fit. He also understands that many people don't have a lot of time to workout or don't know where to start, so he decided to focus his website on real fitness for real people. He shares his ideas for quick workouts that will have you sweating in a matter of seconds and teaches you what it takes to reach your fitness goals.

Jared is married to Camille, the oldest of the sisters from Six Sisters' Stuff and many of his workouts are inspired by her. After having three kids, Camille wanted a way to get back in shape and lose her baby weight and Jared wrote a couple programs to help her do that. After sharing his workouts and programs with friends and patients, the requests for more kept coming, which helped him decide to start his blog so that his workouts could be used by anyone looking to become fit and stay fit.

Jared loves to be active- skiing, golfing, exercising, weight lifting, biking, and spending time with his family are his greatest passions in life. He is excited to share with you his strategies for squeezing fitness into your daily routine, tips for healthy eating, and workouts that you have you toned and tightened in no time!
