My latest obsession was not on my bingo card: habit tracking. I’ve admittedly fallen into such a rut these past few years while working from home. I roll out of bed right before I have to log on for the day, giving me no time to prepare—let alone connect with myself. I’ve gotten less into […]
5 Reasons I Love Melissa Wood Health
I’ve been promising (or is it threatening?) to write this blog post for months. If you’re one of my friends IRL, you’ve most likely heard me talk—ok, maybe gush—about Melissa Wood Health. It’s an online fitness-and-then-some platform by Melissa Wood Tepperberg, a wellness influencer. Sure, you might be rolling your eyes at the phrase “wellness […]
I Tried Acupuncture: My ORA Experience
Disclosure: I received my services free of charge through ORA’s PR agency. However, they did not ask me to write this review, nor did they tell me what to say about ORA. I paid for everything outside of the main service myself (i.e. cafe and shop purchases). All opinions are my own. I have always […]
My Relationship With Fitness: It’s Complicated
Last night, I dragged myself to my first workout of 2020. Dragged is the most accurate word I can think of to describe it—I dreaded it for several hours leading up to it. Once I forced myself onto the spinning bike in the dark studio, I began to feel the endorphin high that used to […]
Vino & Vinyasa
I love yoga. I also love wine. So when I learned I could combine the two, I was sold. Drunk Yoga is a company that hosts—you guessed it—drunk yoga classes. So what does that mean exactly? Each class starts with a happy hour where you can enjoy a glass or two of wine while you […]
Work It: My Fave Workouts in NYC (and Beyond!)
Much to the surprise of my loved ones, and myself, I think I kind of like exercise. I can’t believe I just said that. Note that I didn’t say “love,” because I still prefer my marathons to take place via Netflix on my couch. But I have to admit that regular exercise has made me feel […]
Work it Out: The Best Playlists for Every Workout Mood
While most people swear by Spotify or Pandora, I’ve been a diehard 8tracks groupie for years now. Granted, their app isn’t the most reliable in regards to technical issues, but I swear by the content. You can use tags for any mood, artist, activity, etc. Even your most obscure moods will find an accompanying playlist on 8tracks. […]
Athleisure Outfit Ideas: From Yoga to Street Style (Part Two)
As I promised in my previous post, I took my athletic-wear from the mat to the streets. After an outdoor yoga session, I went downtown for a coffee and some window shopping with a friend. I kept my Fabletics top on, but I swapped my sports bra for a lacy bralette. I put on one of my […]
Athleisure Outfit Ideas: From Yoga to Street Style (Part One)
I’ve never been one to wear athletic-wear outside of the gym. While most of my friends have always been down to grab coffee or run errands in Nike shorts and a tee, I’ve always been more comfortable throwing on a cotton dress and sandals. It’s not that I think I look more put together, it’s just that […]
Relaxing With Rembrandt: Yoga at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
I’m a wannabe yogi. Yes, I envy the cool outfits, cute mats, and the Instagram opportunities. But more than that, I envy the relaxation and “zen” state that yogis are able to achieve. Unfortunately, I’m pretty much as anxiety-ridden as it gets. I’ve been told for years that I should try yoga, but the thought of […]
