I see why you guys are afraid of yoga. You don't want to look like this: I swear up and down- I have no idea who this guy is or where he is practicing yoga (other than his pic says Vancouver, B.C. Okay, he's Canadian). This is more likely what you'll see: Going to a … Continue reading 9 Excuses Men Give for NOT Doing Yoga
Why isn't yoga in the Olympics? It's an insane workout... more so than say, shooting. And the perfection of poses could be measured similarly to that of gymnastics or rhythmic gymnastics... So what gives? I really wanted to post something about the Olympics this week, well, because it's a big dot deal and everyone is … Continue reading Yogalympics
I really really wanted to write about Bachelor Pad today. But seriously, it was so gawd-awful, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I mean awful.

But each week, mala after mala would be sold to someone... and although so beautiful, none of the … Continue reading Mala Mala Beads, Y’all
Since May 2012 I have been in a whirlwind- and never stopped. I went on trips to Thailand, Napa, and Jacksonville. I fundraised and attended an event for my non-profit. I put together a Fourth of July gathering. I had a cute Australian distracting me (in a good way) for three weeks. I continued teacher … Continue reading Club Meditate
No Vanna or Pat here, sorry! No, today's post is about two things- Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana) and being fortunate... i.e. gratitude. I wanted to bring this up today because everyday this week I've been feeling lots of love. Appreciation. Gratitude. We so easily want to see the things/people we don't have while completely being … Continue reading Wheel of Fortune
is what you get/feel when you visit the savvy, talented and insanely gorgeous Paul Norton, hairstylist extraordinaire. It's also what you see when you meet him. Ah, I remember when I first met Paul.
