Empowered to enhance the lives of those that encounter her path, Massiel Reyes coaches many individuals to improve their bodies inside and out.

Reyes started her fitness journey a tad different than some. "My life was being consumed in stress. I had a regular desk job working in business administration and I was

miserable. I started working out because my body needed a change. [Massiel] Became SO passionate that my results began speaking volumes.

I always had a love for helping others one way or another and being so frequently approached because of my results, allowed me to feel fulfilled in helping others achieve their own goals as

well. That’s when I knew I was born for this & had to run with it!"

With years of experience as a personal trainer and WBFF FitModel Diva, Massiel is a consistent spectator of the holiday excuses that roll around every year. One of the greatest misconceptions I’ve heard of is people looking at fitness

as a hobby. It’s important to look at health and fitness as a lifestyle so when the holidays do come around, you understand that it’s okay to be lenient and enjoy yourself during that one meal, being cognizant that your healthy, fit lifestyle will continue the next day." To prevent being a couch potato this holiday, follow Reyes' tips & workout routine.

IF YOU’RE CONFUSED ON WHERE AND HOW TO BEGIN YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY, YOU CAN FIND A COMPLETE GROCERY LIST AND WORKOUT PROGRAM ON MY WEBSITE [MASSIELREYES.COM] ALONG WITH OVER 40 VIDEOS ON HOW TO PERFORM EACH EXERCISE TO GET YOU STARTED!

SMALL STEPS ARE STILL STEPS!

Set small, realistic, attainable goals BEFORE the holidays so you know how and when to get right on track when Thanksgiving is over.

MAKE A HEALTHY CHOICE! Make healthier choices if possible! On my YouTube channel I have a “how to” video on making a sweet potato pie that’s just as delicious with all natural ingredients. This can be an example of staying healthy while also enjoying yourself!

PREPARE .

If you know you’re going to eat not so healthy, challenge yourself to an extra 30 minutes of exercise the next time you hit the gym.

CUT THE EXCUSES! Don’t use the “It's the holidays" excuse to create bad habits. Have your fun on Thanksgiving guilt-free knowing that the next day you will be right back on track.

TIME TO WORKOUT!

"A GREAT way to look at Thanksgiving dinner, is seeing it as the best pre-workout meal ever!"

GARCIA

You are known for your award winning modeling, TOI: acting, and directing internationally for over a decade.

What intrigued you to start your prosperous and consistent career in the entertainment industry?

TAZ:

The love, passion, and challenges that come with the performing and entertaining field.

Looking back at every film you've been a part of, TOI: whether acting or directing, which one had the most unexpected challenges occur?

I have to say it was more of a learning curve and TAZ: not an obstacle when I was directing my first film ("The Briefcase").

Anyone who knows you knows that you are one of TOI: the few individuals to create and/or be a part of a nonbudget film. How did you come up with the conclusion that a non-budget film is possible? Did you ever have any doubts throughout the process of going through with a non-budget film?

The passion and go getting nature drove me to TAZ: create work instead of just wait to be a part of someone else's work, and with out any doubt in sight I believed in myself, the project and team or I wouldn't have gone too far beyond the start line.

You've been in the entertainment industry for so TOI: long and have the awards to add to your success; are you content or are you going to continue acting and directing?

Never content. Never cruise control. You never TAZ: want to just settle. Keep the same motivation you had when you were the underdog and you will keep moving forward.

Are you working on any films currently?

TOI: A buddy cop movie that will bring everything you TAZ: loved about bad boys and rush hour with a very unique element to the mix.

TOI:

Okay Tazito, we know that you reside in Canada and Thanksgiving has passed, but in the U.S. it hasn't yet!! So for the sake of your fans in the United States, we would like you to tell us what is the one thing from 2017 that you are exceptionally grateful for?

TAZ:

I`m always grateful for many things. Everything I have and strive for...but if I were to choose just one, it`s to be able to get up healthy in the morning and do what I love and love what I do.

THE GLORIOUS BREAKTHROUGH

OF KASSIDI FOY

A REASON IN THE SEASON FROM PROFESSIONAL MODEL TO A REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIST FOR TERRI SAVELLE FOY MINISTRIES, KASSIDI FOY SPEAKS ON HER VICTORIOUS BREAKTHROUGHÂ FROM GOD WHEN IN THE NATURAL, THINGS SEEMED TO BE A TWISTED, DARK JOURNEY FOR HER LIFE, CAREER, & BODY-IMAGE. IN HER OWN WORDS, HERE IS HER STORY.

D

uring the summer of 2016, I was living in Europe, modeling full-time and trying to make it in the industry. Modeling in Europe sounds very glamorous and amazing, and some of the time it was, but most of the time, it was anything but that. I learned a lot about myself, my body-image,

my standards and morals, what I believe and don't believe while I was over there. I battled with staying thin enough for the industries standards (a size 0 was too big for most of my clients) and I can remember just feeling completely stuck.

Finally, I flew home because I knew what I was going through would never stop. I was in bondage to food and felt like I had no say in my body-image.

My first few months home, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing with my life. I put all my focus on modeling; I didn't have a backup plan. I'd say that was probably the hardest season of my life out of all of it — trying to figure out what I like and what I wanted to pursue; feeling like a failure because I up-and-quit modeling. During that season, I felt like I had to have everything figured out all the time. After having gone through that season, I've realized that it’'s okay to not have everything figured out. I heard Steve Furtick say “What's next in your life is always connected to what's now.” I totally believe that statement to be true. I had no idea God was preparing me

"The beginning of 2017, I decided to make a career change and work for Terri Savelle Foy Ministries, my mother's organization, just to help out with their social media while I was getting my real estate license. I started learning the insand-outs of online marketing and how to grow the organizations rapidly." Since that time, Kassidi has grown TSFM by almost 50% in only 9 months by " implementing simple marketing techniques and strategies."

Using the advice she gave those who may be experiencing the same battle she fought and came out victorious in during mid 2016, she began to see exactly what affect she had on others businesses that Satan deliberately tried to block.

Although, when you know that he has already been defeated, you only lose when you quit. We asked Kassidi what made her desire to seek the career of a social media strategist . How did she know that that career was for her? She simply replied," I saw the impact I could have on an organization and the success I could bring my implementing the skills I knew and learned about marketing. I love seeing businesses and organizations with a good cause thrive. You can locate your passion when something frustrates you. I used to get frustrated when I would hear about something amazing like a safe house that had successfully rescued hundreds of girls out of human trafficking, I would want to tell my friends about

"I never once felt sorry for myself..." to start my own marketing business. I believe starting this business is preparing me for the next thing. I also found peace by journaling my gratitude every morning. That alone helped me keep a positive outlook during that time. I never once felt sorry for myself but instead, found something to be grateful for everyday during that time.

K

assidi Foy's story is inspiring, uplifting, and gives a sense of light to many who may feel lost in their purpose. That is definitely not true and Kassidi gives light to those who may be experiencing these feelings. "Everything will eventually work out. This is a short season.

You're going to learn something from it and come out stronger so you might as well not stress so much about it. " Currently, Kassidi is a social media strategist for her mother's international organization, Terri Savelle Foy Ministries. When she began working at TSFM, the only thought into her head was just to get rid of some down-time while she went after her real estate license. Instead, she came out with more than what she initially anticipated and increased others while doing so.

it, but they had no online presence. There was no way to get connected with them. I've seen the benefits of having a good online presence and the success it can bring to and organization. If I can help someone help other people through an Instagram post, a Facebook ad or a YouTube podcast, then I'm happy."

L

aunching by January of 2018 is Kassidi Foy's social marketing agency, The Social Zoom Agency. With her purpose in mind, she thrives and excels at being adamant on her goals and God's plan for her life. Failure is not an option for Kassidi Foy and definitely won't be one that

she will take for her new clients. Congratulations Kassidi on your new business! She will be enjoying the rest of her holidays with close family and friends, but for Thanksgiving she just hopes that she'll be "eating a lot of mashed potatoes."

Honestly, who can blame her!
