As the days get shorter & darker, our October Betty Maddie Hout (aka Mads at the Betty Shop) is our eternal sunshine girl. She keeps our cozy corner bright with her glowing smile, but more so with her brilliant, beautiful spirit! We got the latest, here’s what she shared...

“I just graduated High School and now I’m attending Community College majoring in Kinesiology. I love to go surfing with my dad at C-Street (our homebreak in Ventura Beach), yoga, reading, photography and videography, cooking, being with my family and spending time in nature… 

“My most recent trip was this Summer. I went on a road trip up to Santa Cruz, Big Sur, and then Pismo Beach. My favorite part was driving along the coast of Big Sur. The views were so beautiful, and I loved using my drone to capture the amazing views… 

I get stoked for an early surf, and improving my longboarding skills. Right now I am really into health and fitness. I love sharing new recipes, workouts, and inspirational messages on my health account @wellness_withmads on Instagram. I have a YouTube channel where I post blogs, recipes and short films…

My goals in life are to combine my love for health, wellness and fitness in a way to help and inspire others, capture beautiful videos of nature and the world around us and to live in the present as much as I can.”

WE LOVE YOU MADS! Celebrating you all through October is gonna be as sweet as Halloween treats! Follow her adventures @wellness_withmads & @bettybelts
