Lauryn Evarts talks to Privilege Boutique owner Donni Rae about fitness, diet, and health.

In the spirit of Mother?s Day I?m featuring mommy Donni Rae! She?s a total babe, a balls to the walls entrepreneur, & a mother to the most beautiful baby boy. Oh! She also happens to be carrying a bun in the oven ( exciting!! ).

Anyway, Donni practices my two favorite tips: eating clean & SUNSCREEN. Like she says below: ?I want to look like I?m in my twenties FOREVER.?

Yup, yup- slaughter up!

Happy Mother?s Day, lovas! If you?re anything like me you?re enjoying a fresh Suja ( green! ) mimosa- cheers!

+ Introduce yourself!

Donni Rae:?I?m a ?not quite 30? ( AKA 29 year old for life ), entrepreneur, fashion addict, & ( most importantly ) mother from Vancouver, Canada. I?m a passionate person, & I believe in doing what I love while living life to the fullest. I?m lucky enough to call my job my passion. I have two companies, Privilege Clothing Boutique which currently has two locations ( soon to be three ) & a jewelry line called Alden Rae with my best friend, Miriam Alden ( see below ).

I live by my values & truly appreciate the little things that bring meaning to life: most importantly friendships & family. I?m a mother to the cutest, & quite possibly WILDEST, little two year old boy?who never fails to keep life interesting.

I never truly underestimate the power of good people, & true, non-judgemental relationships. I live by the motto ?be nice to people.?

+ Tell us about your cute clothing site.

DR: Privilege Clothing Boutique was founded in 2007. About one year later, we opened our second location. The online store evolved organically shortly after. We cater to a wide demographic, carrying both men & women designer brands & premium denim. Privilege is well known for carrying renowned brands such as Rebecca Minkoff, Free People, & Hugo Boss ? alongside international and independent brands such as Wish ( Australian ), Peridot, & Zanerobe. We try to keep prices competitive & make sure we?re always offering a wide range of price points, from budget friendly to luxury items.

+ Quick skinny tips or tricks?

DR:?Eat real food. Find balance in your life. Exercise in moderation. Go outside.

It?s all about balance to me, and staying physically active everyday. I try to focus on eating whole, organic foods, although I don?t deprive myself either. If I want a cupcake, I?ll have a damn cupcake.

+ Weekly workout schedule?

DR:?When I don?t have morning sickness for two months on end?oops, did I mention I have another little one on the way? I definitely try to get to the gym five days/week. Sometimes I?ll substitute the track outdoors if it?s nice outside! I usually work out with my mom & my sister, so I get an equal balance of the social aspect ; ). I?m still not sure if I actually get more working out in or more chatting?

I do an equal mix of cardio, weight training, & chasing my two year old around the kitchen island. On the days I?m too busy to make the gym because of my hectic schedule, my fianc? & I often challenge each other to do ?hundreds?. It?s a hundred push ups, a hundred sit ups, a hundred air squats?AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Don?t laugh until you try it.

+ Favorite go-to healthy food?

DR:?I would have to say juicing is my favorite. At home, one of the ONLY things you can find in my fridge is fruits & vegetables for juicing. As much as I would like to consider myself a chef, we end going out to dinner more than we cook. We regularly juice foods like beets, lemons, apples, & carrots ? for a quick energy boost. We also try to choose healthier options when eating out for dinner.

+ Cocktail of choice?

DR:?I?d have to say wine, or champagne?which is noticeably absent from my life right now! Right now I will settle for a virgin Caesar?although you American?s may have to Google that, to find out the recipe!

+ Can?t-live-without beauty product:?

DR:?Sunscreen ( << yuppp. Ladies- take note! Love this tip! ). Since I want to look like I?m in my twenties FOREVER, I have a daily sunscreen regimen that I live by. It?s so important!

+ What?s in your purse?

DR:?Do you REALLY want to know? Interim drivers license, two laptops, princess diapers ( don?t ask ), my makeup bag, five Alden Rae wrap bracelets, & a roll of toilet paper?you asked? I have a cold. Nothing goes with a Louis Vuitton like a roll of toilet paper!

+ Quick, easy (healthy) recipe?

+ Kale Salad- there?s a local bistro that I have become addicted to for this salad recipe!

Raw kale, chopped

Baby bok choy, chopped

Tomatoes, diced

Red onions, diced

Sunflower seeds

Pumpkin seeds

Hemp hearts

+ Dressing:

Hemp oil

Udo?s oil

Balsamic vinegar

Tamari

Directions: mix to taste ( a little goes a long way? ). For best results, marinade overnight.
