Hi everyone! I know it has been a while since I updated you so I have so much to say and I will catch up gradually over the next few days. I need to tell you about the Arnold Classic and some incredible photo shoots that I have had recently, and even some catch-up from Pasadena as well as some upcoming adventures and opportunities.

About ten days ago I had my first ever beach sunrise shoot with Michael Palmer (http://www.michaelpalmer.com/), during his annual trip from England. The shoot was in Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic Ocean side, it was the night we lost an hour of sleep too!! I want to thank my makeup artist and hair stylist, Jessica Barton, for basically taking over everything that day, from commandeering a room key and waking me up at 5am and touching me up on site, and helping me untangle the teeny weeny bikinis and even showing me how to get my hair wet in the ocean without freezing!! Jessica is a model too and was recently featured in American Curves so she knows both sides. Anyone who needs really amazing makeup in central Florida check out her myspace page and get in touch with her (www.myspace.com/supragrl93). A couple of sample pictures are attached so enjoy and please let me know what you think.

Look for several updates this week and next week as I catch up .... I am dieting and training super hard right now for the Junior USA championships in Charleston on April 28th and I know that everyone will be pleased with the results! Please keep your words of encouragement coming my way and I'll talk to you soon!

Love,

Danielle

Well this is it, my last post before the Arnold!! We are leaving tomorrow for Ohio and I am feeling pretty good given the dieting circumstances .... running around doing last minute errands ... suit adjustments, new pumps, hair extensions, taking puppers to her temporary home ... and still doing that cardio too! You can check out my last set of progress photos on my contest prep page here: http://www.daniellerouleau.com/contest.htm


Also if you are at the Arnold pick up one of the goodie bags at Optimum Nutrition / ABB and you will get the brand new flyer for the first Danielle Rouleau Fitness Classic, to be held in Cleveland as part of Healthy Lifestyle Weekend in June. (more to come later) Finally I know that I am overdue for posting some of my pictures from the Ironman photo shoots (Femflex and Physique Modeling) so here they are. I will update everyone when I get back from Ohio, wish me luck!
Love,
Danielle
