Melissa ObayashiRackstar: Caylea
Ladner Rackstar

1. At the beginning of a New Year so many people resolve to get fit. Clearly you resolved to do this long ago (Caylea is also a yoga instructor). Has fitness always been a way of life for you or did you have an Aha moment that got you started?)
Yes! Fitness has always been a way of life for me, However, I really did have an Aha, moment when I was introduced to Yoga. It really is such a healthy form of fitness, it combines body & mind, in order to achieve overall wellness, it just makes sense. Everybody should try yoga!

2. Rockin’ and Rollin’...what song never fails to get you rocking? Which one gets the tears rolling?
My husband Jesse is a professional musician, so our house is all music, all the time. I will admit I will always Bust a groove to Jamiroquai’s Canned Heat. As for the water works, Jesse’s Lyrics often tear me up because unbeknownst to others, his words are usually about big things that are going on in our lives.

3. It’s the most magical time of the year here at The Urban Rack. Nope, not Christmas...a new season of fashion! What are you most excited to have hanging in your closet this spring?
Among many, I am super excited for the new Bardot line! I am looking forward to drapy fabrics, with a bohemian feel. I also dig a Funky look, & the ability to play with styles, (multi-wearable) so I plan on stocking up on Metalicus & Lilla P. Oh, and anything One sleeved, or off the shoulder! Ooo, and I’m totally planning on Rocking the coloured denim this spring, I’ll be the chick in the bright yellow jeans!

4. We love that Caylea is a woman of many hats. Rackstar, yoga instructor, and sales and marketing guru at a golf course where she helps brides plan their magical day. OK, Caylea spill the beans...do you have a Bridezilla story for us?
No, I have many… ;) Just kidding…or am I?

5. I love to play genie with our Rackstars...You are granted 24 hours to be wherever you want, with whoever you want, doing whatever you want...tell us what your dream day looks like. (PG rated remember ☺)
I would spend the day somewhere fabulous & sunny, with my Husband and our two Chihuahuas. We would ride our beach cruisers to some quaint little market, pick up a bottle of wine & a picnic lunch. Then sail our boat (I get to wish for a sail boat, too right?) take in a swim, and watch the sun set over the sea.


Coach's Corner
By Kristine Irving

In addition to running The Urban Rack, I have also trained as a Life and Business coach. It is this work that enables me to live the Purpose of The Urban Rack outside of the stores…Inspiring women to discover and embrace their Unique Beauty. Coach’s Corner is an opportunity for me to share quotes, tools, inspirational messages, and fun exercises to help us grow.

Is your Relationship Status in Need of a Fashion Makeover?

I am an analogy nerd. I love how seemingly opposite things can come together to form a picture that may help us better understand a situation, a person, or a feeling. And what area is more in need of clarity than the veritable land mine we call Relationships? Through coaching clients who face challenges in love, my own personal experiences, and the many, many, maaannny hours I’ve logged with frustrated girlfriends, staff, and family I feel I am qualified to offer you help with three common areas we often get stuck in during our quest for love. As a 2 for 1, and thru the magic of awesome analogies, I will also offer what you may consider even more valuable...fashion makeover tips.
