4 CommentsMy blog lovelies, I’m finally leaving for my (almost three week) yoga retreat in Bali, Indonesia. I’ve been planning this trip since last November, so I can’t believe it’s actually here!
This trip is led by one of my favorite yoga teachers from Seattle, Jennifer Isaacson. I was in her class in November 2010 when she announced she’d be hosting this yoga retreat to Bali the next year, and I immediately knew I wanted to save to go. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect – I was upset over a botched trip with a friend to Thailand and not hitting my goal of traveling outside the country in 2010 because of said botched trip, and it was that night I stepped in Jennifer’s class and heard her announcement. It was a calling, I believe. That’s the hippie, yoga, fate side of me talking. 
I wouldn’t normally sign up for a “tour,” led by someone else, but the itinerary for this trip blew my mind and solidified my desire to go. Because Jennifer has relationships with locals in Bali (from her past trips), we’re going to enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind experience with local art, music, a purification ceremony, traditional Balinese massage, visits to a traditional Balinese healer, a Balinese cooking class, and more. You can read our itinerary here. Furthermore, I’m a “Type A” personality that has to research and plan everything myself, so it’s actually been really stress-free to sit back and let everyone else figure out the details for me.
I’m most excited about staying in the Lotus beach front bungalows on Candisdasa Beach (it looks absolutely breathtaking) and relaxing, while still challenging my body, in two daily yoga classes with one of my favorite teachers. I hope to come back relaxed, healthy and in even better shape.
Pictures and details coming upon my return. Until then, see you September 17th!
Currently Feeling: So nervous to travel for 24 hours to get to Bali! Just need to get over that mental hump.
Currently Anticipating: The minute I step foot off that plane and on Balinese soil.
Currently Reading: A choice of about 20 books I downloaded on my Kindle for this trip (excessive, much)? I hope to get through at least two or three and will report back to you on my fav! Tata.

8 CommentsConfession time.
I am unfathomably and incomprehensibly addicted to lululemon athletica.
I need an intervention! No, I’m serious. I’m not just being facetious.
I mean, I love that I’m free and clear to spend my money and time in any way I want, but I’m thinking that I should get knocked up just so I’ll have to spend my money on something else besides lululemon.
It started back in October when I received some good accolades at work. So I decided to “treat myself.” At that point, I’d been going to hot yoga classes for five months and sitting next to EVERYONE in their head-to-toe yoga clothes with that little tiny lululemon circle on their sides, back and butts. I’d been avoiding stepping foot in a store because of the price point and scoffed, “$100! Why would you need to spend $100 on a pair of yoga pants when you can get ones just as good for $30 at Target. Psshhhh.”
Yeah, okay. I strand corrected. They’re worth every penny of $100, and no, you cannot find pants like them at Target for $30.
Oh the thumbholes! And the brushed Luon! Oh fit! Comfort! Oh Stride jacket and Groove pant! You’re all going to be the death of my bank account.
There is nothing in the world like their Groove pant – it doesn’t sag, it holds all your lady bits in and makes you look more fit (I swear), and it’s oh so comfy. And if you want to purchase a zip-up hoodie you’ll never want to take off, buy a Stride jacket in brushed Luon immediately.
When I become fixated on something – I take fixation to a whole new level. Since October I’ve purchased two pairs of Groove pants, one pair of Wunder Under crops, one pair of Groove shorts, two Stride jackets, one Swell jacket, two Scuba hoodies, five yoga tanks and one jump rope. (Uh, for my suitcase?) In December, I actually drove an hour and a half south of Seattle, by myself on a Sunday, just to go to the lululemon outlet store. By.my.self. Now I’ve started searching eBay for “limited edition lululemon sweatshirt” cause some people sell styles that aren’t available anymore. VINTAGE lulu!!
The worst (or perhaps best) part about it is that I’ve realized now that working at a tech startup means I don’t actually have to get dressed and fancy every day. I work with boys. Who wear T-shirts and tennis shoes every day. So I started just to wear my yoga clothes to work since it saves me a step when going to pilates at lunch or rushing to yoga after work.
So obviously now I need an ENTIRE yoga (cough lululemon cough) wardrobe, so I don’t wear the same thing to work every day.
Ahh! Cut me off!
I’m going to be the little ole lady who lived in her lululemon!
Currently Feeling: Tired and “off” this week – is it a full moon? Am I getting sick again? Is it the weather? Hmm…
Currently Anticipating: Celebrating with MOST of all the people I love in my life on Saturday. I love birthdays!!
Currently Loving: Smartfood popcorn! I never buy the stuff cause I read somewhere it’s actually pretty bad (think it’s chocked full of trans fat). However, a friend bought it when she stayed with me last weekend and left it here. Damn. Forgot how GOOD that shiz is.

10 CommentsWednesday night I went to dinner with an old college roommate. We ordered two crepes, split a bottle of red wine, and discussed our upcoming New Years Eve plans. At sometime during the night I said, “2010 has been the best year of my life,” and she responded with – “Really?!”
Yes, really.
I have said more times than I can remember this year – I am SO happy right now. Happy with where I’m at with my life, happy with who’s in it (and who isn’t). Happy with my career, my apartment, my friends. If I could pick one word to sum up this year for me – it’s simply been, Happy. I could only hope 2011 lives up to the year I’ve had in 2010.
Below are just a few of the reasons that have made 2010 “my best year yet.” In no particular order, this year I…
- Made regular workouts a part of my life all year, for the first time ever. This included starting Sassy Fit boot camp, which I did for six months, and then starting my yoga practice! (Which began with a 30-day hot yoga challenge in June). Me + yoga = LOVE.
- Gave up consumerism for 30 days (as part of my 30-day yoga challenge).
- Paid of a ton of parking tickets that prevented me from buying tabs, bought new tabs to replace the previous ones that were expired for two years AND paid off my car loan. Booyah. What up responsibility.
- Took a bacon cooking class (where I learned to make a Bacon Explosion!)
- Traveled to New York, San Francisco twice and Miami (where we partied at a bar with the Jersey Shore cast. I was at a bar with Snookie in 2010. Enough said).
- Spent many fun cabin weekends with friends, including Chelan multiple times over the spring and summer, and Leavenworth for Oktoberfest.
- Booked my first trip to Hawaii!
- Co-hosted (with other Power Team members) at least a dozen Girl Power Hour networking events for women, which allowed me to meet tons of empowering, smart girls and be a leader in my community!
- Found $100 bill on the ground on Halloween night (dressed as Cruella DeVille).
- Bought an ice cream making machine and learned how to make ice cream for the first time!
- Started a “Good Friends and a Glass of Wine” dining group, where I met with four girl friends of mine once a month to try a rotating selection of some of Seattle’s most critically acclaimed and talked about restaurants. We met 10 out of the 12 months in 2010 – pretty great record, and lots of great food! We ate at Spring Hill, Root Table, Lark, Union, Mistral Kitchen, anchovies & olives, Spinasse, Osteria La Spiga and more.
- Coached a kickball team with friends.
- Took a long blog break, transferred my blog from Blogger to WordPress and redesigned my blog. Took another long blog break, redesigned my blog again. Discovered that part of my happiness IS blogging, and I feel weird when I leave it behind. Completed NaBloPoMo (without missing a single post!) to gain my blog mojo back.
- Crossed a few fun things off my Bucket List, including riding my bike to work (and walking to work most of the summer!), going to Teatro Zinzanni for the first time, meeting a blog friend in real life, planting an herb and veggie garden – and making recipes with my homegrown plants, cooking my first turkey and buying satin sheets for my bed (for ME, no one else).
- Spent a LOT, a lot, a lot of time with girl friends – made a ton of new friends (Hi loves, if you’re reading!), and became closer to my roommate and some of my best friends, who mean the world to me.
- Had my first career-related speaking gig on a panel at the Social Fresh conference in Portland, OR.
- Attended BlogHer and BlogHer Food for the first time (excellent, nerdy blogging conferences – right up my alley).
- Said goodbye to my trusty Sidekick (my friends called me Sidekick Sally for years) and bought an iPhone 4! Also was able to purchase a Kindle this year – something I’ve had on my “want” list for at least 2-3 years – and have read so many great books. I’m hoping to pull together a list of my top books of 2010, for those interested.
- Hosted a Girls Thanksgiving, and cooked my first turkey (and sweet potato pie).
- Repaired my own vacuum after it broke! lol. Pretty proud of myself for that one – I’m an independent woman!
- Moved offices from downtown to Pioneer Square.
- Threw a big, successful party – without a hitch – for work with more than 150 people in the Seattle tech community in attendance! Then received a raise a week later, and a new part time contract work for an awesome company two months after that! My career kicked major ass in 2010. I can’t believe I can say that I’m exactly where I want to be at 29, and love, love my job and industry every day. For THAT, I consider myself extremely lucky.
- Made giant steps toward a BIG life change that I’ve wanted to do, and have talked about, for years. 2011 looks like it could be my year!
As far as looking forward to 2011, I decided to not make a “New Years Resolution” for this year. Rather, I scrolled through my Bucket List and marked a number of them that I want to cross off, work on, or know I’m already on my way to completing in 2011. Some of them are a bit ridiculous, some trivial, some large – but all are realistic. It’s a hefty list this year with lots to work toward, but what is life but without high goals!
My Bucket List items I’m going to try to complete in 2011 are:
- Live in another city for at least one year
- Keep a savings account – with a balance – for more than one year
- Swim with dolphins (Planned for Hawaii.)
- Get my teeth whitened, professionally
- Teach myself to video edit (My job might depend on it. Kidding. But no, really.)
- Visit Bali and wear flowers around my neck
- Take a yoga retreat (Just so happens I’m planning a yoga retreat to Bali for August 2011. Two birds. One stone.)
- Buy a Mini Cooper (Currently on wait-lists for a black one.)
- Own a license plate with my name on it (As silly as this is, figured might look all right on new Mini.)
- Take a shower by candlelight
- Give up fast food for a year (Eh – why not. Thought I’d try this, starting January 1st. This could be considered a mini resolution, I suppose.)
- Make a cookbook of my grandmother’s recipes before she passes
- Go to dim sum for breakfast
- Dine in the dark at San Francisco’s Opaque restaurant
- Feel great in a T-shirt again (My tummy is my trouble area, and it’s been a long time since I could just wear jeans and a T-shirt and feel comfortable. I’d really like to change this.)
- Make a wine corkboard from bottles of wine I’ve actually drank myself (Been saving for nearly two years – almost there!)
- Go to Toastmasters and kick my anxiety with public speaking (This is a must. must.)
- Wine taste in Napa Valley
Happy New Years everyone!
Currently Feeling: Phew exhausted! This took all night.
Currently Anticipating: Getting my hair did and all fancy for the big NYE party I have planned tomorrow with a super fun group of friends from my neighborhood. Happy NYE!
Currently Loving: A cute new consignment shop in my neighborhood that has brand new designer jeans – tags on – for $70 and less! Pshhh. I’m totally not sharing the name.

When you start to practice yoga regularly, it’s quite common to want to bust into a yoga pose while in the bathroom getting ready, waiting for your food to to cook in the microwave, in the elevator at work, or wherever the moods strikes you.

There’s something ridiculous addicting about yoga poses – the strength it requires, stretching and lengthening your body, the beauty in the shape that your limbs make while in Dancer’s Pose, Warrior III or Eagle. If you’re a yogi, you already know this. If you’re not, you probably think I’m crazy.
Crazy or not, I know there’s a time and place for everything. I usually do these poses in the mirror in the privacy of my own home, or where strangers can’t see me trying to balance and lift my leg over my head. There’s a time and place for everything, that is, until you drink a few beverages. Then apparently you think it’s smart to practice yoga on the sidewalk in the pouring down rain, a little tipsy. Tipsy does not make a good balance pose. Tipsy does make a good nose dive face plant into a wet pile of leaves in front of cute boys, scraping your knee and tearing your pantyhose.
Okay, I wasn’t really wearing pantyhose, I was wearing jeans. Thank god pantyhose aren’t really my thing cause otherwise that would have been real bad.
Life lesson: Sometimes you can’t yoga in the streets.
Shout out to my little sis’ cause the title of this post is the advice she gave me after picking me up and dusting off my dirty clothes after my face plant.
Currently Feeling: Exhausted after a full day of running around – work, hot yoga, shower then dinner with some girls I haven’t seen in months! And I used to think Mondays were low-key…
Currently Anticipating: Going to the Dream It, Launch It, Live It conference tomorrow!
Currently Reading: A crazy mix of books right now – fiction for fun, and two books for work to make me smarter or something. It’s a book juggling act!

9 CommentsWell hello there, July 16th. Where have the last two weeks gone? Been busy soaking up the sun that finally came to Seattle – and as my GChat status says, “The summer sun makes me irresponsible.” Less time for blogging and computer playing, more time for outdoors, friends and barbecues. The best time of the year!
Life has been trucking along quite nicely these days – I’ve got a few little updates for you.
I finished my 30-day challenge – you can read my somewhat wrap-up thoughts here since they were the same for the last two weeks of the challenge. I was a couple days shy of the complete 30 days. It was tough to make it to class every day the last two weeks cause I became super burnt out. But for the most part, I did it! So, I’m back to boot camp a couple days a week, and hot yoga a couple days a week. I’m also walking to work now that the weather is nice! Two miles – 45 minutes of walking a day – so it’s been a great addition to my workouts.
Me putting the last star on the challenge board
My Fourth of July holiday weekend was one of the best ever. Choosing Lake Chelan over Seattle turned out to be the best decision I could have made since Seattle gifted everyone with grey skies and rain for the holiday. Meanwhile, I hung out in my bathing suit, drank BLs on the beach all day and finished the evening up with a crazy dance party boat ride to watch the Chelan city fireworks. Lots of funny pictures and memories of the weekend that, unfortunately, don’t belong on the Internet. Good times were had by all.
Left: All the girls at the beach. Center: Boating it. Right: Wine tasting on our way back.
My summer garden is rockin’ and rollin’. I had to upgrade my basil plant because I used it so much, I dried the first one out and killed it. So, I purchased a bigger and better one. I have basil for days! My favorite summertime dinner meal these days has been some whole wheat pasta tossed with olive oil, garlic, fresh mozerella, tomatoes and basil from my garden – finished with salt and pepper. Mmm. Someone told me our summers in Seattle don’t usually last long enough for peppers or strawberry plants, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed there. And I have a couple tiny green tomatoes that I’m watching with much love!
Caprese pasta - my summertime staple!
Turns out my work is sending me to New York City for the BlogHer 10 conference the first weekend of August. I’m super, duper excited and geeked out to meet so many bloggers and make some (hopefully) lifelong connections. I’ll get to hang out with Doniree for the first time, which I’m fantastically excited about. I feel like I’m the only 20-something blogger left in this world that doesn’t know her personally. I’ll also be hosting a fun Sex and the City walk through the city with a Kindle giveaway at the end. I think it’s going to be a fabulous, successful event, so that pushes my excitement that much further. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job? By the way – this will be the first time I’ll have visited NYC while 21 and over. Trouble to be had! NEW YORK…. These streets will make you feel brand new…Big lights will inspire you…Let’s hear it for New York, New York, NEW YORK.
Can you think of a better event?! Excited!
I’m heading over the mountain pass again this weekend for a bachelorette party for one of my high school girl friends – lots of longtime girls of mine will be there. I hang out with all 10 of them about twice a year, so this should be interesting and fun. We’re starting off with a night out in the tiny town our cabin is in, wearing ugly bridesmaid dresses. (Thank you, Goodwill, for mine). We’re also floating a river Saturday in intertubes and then heading back out in matching tie-dyed tank tops with nicknames on the back. Mine? G-Spot Je-Spot. Yeah. That’s right. High school nickname I can’t seem to freakin’ get ride of. (For no other reason than my name being Je Anna). Should have some fun stories and pictures to share with all of you. Happy weekend!
Currently Feeling: A little bit of a nervous belly.
Currently Anticipating: Relaxing this weekend in the sun before a SUPER busy work week next week. Time to recharge!
Currently Loving: The new Eminem CD. Seriously – it’s so good. He amazes me, and brings me back to memories in high school when I used to listen to his first CD, all at the same time.

Yesterday marked my 15th day of yoga – I’m officially halfway through my 30-day challenge.
Not sure if I’m supposed to shout it from the rooftops, or be all Zen like. But, either way, I honestly feel amazing. (I’m going to speak a little bit more about yoga here than giving up consumerism because the later has been easier than the yoga).
I have to say – it’s been more like 15 classes of yoga, not days. Because as much as I hate to admit it, life happened a couple times. So, I’ve missed a couple days, going twice the next day to make up for it. (Totally acceptable according to the challenge “rules”). The trickiest part of the challenge has been just to make time for a yoga class every day. To schedule it before nighttime events, dinners or happy hours. To get up and go even when I’m hungover and feel like all I want to do is nap. To squeeze it in on my lunch, to run there in the middle of my day, shower, then run back to work. Speaking of showering – I have never showered so much in my life. Two showers a day, every day. And my skin has never been so clear. No joke. It’s so soft; it’s almost shocking. There’s something to be said about sweating out the toxins on a daily basis…it’s like instant $150 facials for free-ish.
A lot of people have asked me how I like hot yoga, and here’s what I say: the first nine days were a tug-o-war, a love/hate relationship with my body. I was hot as hell every class, a couple times feeling so uncomfortable that it was all I could do to sit in the class a minute longer. The last 20 minutes were agonizing as I mentally begged the teacher to open the door, questioned what the hell I was doing and why, and thought about how great the cool air was going to be when I left the god damn room. #$@%@
Then it was like a light switch day 10. No joke – as dorky as that sounds. Suddenly my body became a little bit more used to the heat, making each class more bearable. I challenged myself to personally let go of all the impatience I held in during the last half of class. I told myself to simply enjoy it. Just stretch. Just push yourself a little harder. Take each pose a little further. Just breathe.
And what emerged was a crazy, euphoric feeling that is INSANE, I tell you. Absolutely insane. I still have a bad, hot-as-hell, impatient class here and there, depending on my mood. But most days, I sail to class – hauling my yoga mat and pounding in flipflops to get there in time to reserve a spot next to the door, knowing that when I leave an hour and 15 minutes later, I’m going to feel like a million bucks.
It’s not even a question of IF I want to go. It’s no longer telling myself I HAVE.TO go because of the challenge. It’s turned into what time of day, and which class, I want to go to. And thinking about how great it’s going to be when I get back into that 104-degree room. (What the…?!)
It’s like hot yoga has turned me into Holly Go Lightly – which is just weird, I tell yah.
“Oh, golly, gee damn!”*
*”Holly Go Lightly” and quote is from this movie, if you’re not familiar
Currently Feeling: Hungry – but it’s 11p.m. Dangit! I’m never good at going to bed hungry. But that whole “don’t eat past 5p.m.” is a myth, no?
Currently Anticipating: Happy hour tomorrow at one of my favorite Ballard bars, and a salmon & wine dinner on Thursday at a friend’s new condo.
Currently Loving: Fage Greek yogurt – YUM. I’ve been trying all brands, and have thought about doing a mini review. More on that soon.

8 CommentsNot to self: Eat before hot yoga (but apparently two hours before, to be safe). Had a bit of a queasy, weakling class last night that left be a bit panicky and now nervous to go back. I think eight hours without food, burning that many calories, is not a good combo. My bad.
On another note, I’ve completed seven straight days of yoga! Woot! I took off two pounds last week and my skin feels super clear. However, I’m still antsy as all hell during the last 20 minutes of class. It’s my goal this second week to try to let go of my impatience with my practice (it’s just so damn HOT). P.S. Didn’t that sound all official – “my practice.” I’m getting so yogi hippie.
Things I Wanted to Buy This Week But Couldn’t:
- Rad, matte fuchsia pink nail polish for $5.
- The Gratitude Journal app (which apparently Oprah swears by) that I read about on Mashable. Yes, I’ve cut myself off from iPhone apps too.
- A nifty salsa pot I saw at Trader Joe’s. It’s a pot full of all the herbs you need to make salsa!
- A $39 Pilates class on Groupon (yes, I’ve cut myself off from Groupon too).
I swear I’ll post about something else here soon.
Currently Feeling: Desperate for some summer weather – we’ve been drowning here in Seattle this past month.
Currently Anticipating: Starting a new book – I’m a little burnt out on the one I’m reading, but it’s a 500-pager, so taking awhile to finish!
Currently Loving: Caprese pasta with basil from my urban garden!

4 CommentsMen are stinky. Like really, really stinky. I’m going to open a yoga studio that has women’s only classes cause man if it isn’t bad enough to be stuck in a room like sardines that you can’t breath in cause it’s 95 degrees plus, then it’s absolute hell to have to smell some big dude’s body odor for that hour, praying his sweat doesn’t drip on you, and OH.MY.GOD. did I tell you he FARTED. Like huge. Like next to me and then said, “Sorry!” and the class was silent. I don’t know who I felt more sorry for, me or that guy.
P.S. I’m never eating garlic fries at a baseball game again.
P.P.S. Money saved these last two days because I’m against CONSUMERISM and can’t buy anything:
- $59 on a yoga towel with special grippers on the bottom, so it sticks to your mat. I WANT!!
- $13.99 on the “Away We Go” soundtrack, which is my fav movie of 2009 and features music from Alexi Murdoch. One song came on my Pandora station yesterday, and I was all…”Oh my God, his voice is amazing. I need this soudtrack IMMEDIATELY cause then I’d be all calm, soothed and relaxed thinking about how life is great every day!”
- $69 on Tom’s (again). God damn these things. They just released the cutest wedges ever this week, which is much more my style than flats. AND they benefit starving children in Africa.
Currently Feeling: A little groggy from my 6am class today. I always think it’s a good idea to go home and go back to bed, but then I just feel groggy.
Currently Anticipating: SUPER fun weekend ahead – trying out Lark restaurant with the girls tonight, then heading to SAM Remix for Picasso/Warhol/Kurt Cobain exhibits. Tomorrow is a high school throwback kegger, and Paolo‘s wedding reception. Then Sunday a Mariner’s game! Woot!
Currently Needing: More yoga shorts, not pants. Man the pants are hot and stick to me. Love ‘em to lounge in, but not for hot yoga.

This is me with soaking wet hair, no makeup because it all ran off (post raccoon eyes),
sopped to the bone with sweat, wondering what in the HELL I’ve gotten myself into.
All I can say is I’m grateful I didn’t pass out.
One star up. 29 more to go.

Hello June.
I’m starting you out by doing a challenge because, well, sometimes I’m a little crazy, but mostly I like to consistently challenge myself. So, I will be giving up my most beloved Sassy Fit for just one month to embark on finding my inner yogi.
A local yoga studio in Seattle, Urban Yoga Spa, is doing a 30-day yoga challenge in June. Basically, you can sign up to commit to three different levels. Level one is 20 days of yoga in June. Level two is 30 days. And level three is 30 days AND declaring one thing to give up during the challenge.
I’m going big or going home – level three all the way baby!
SO, I Jeanna Barrett, do hereby declare to give up…
CONSUMERISM
for the month of June.
Here’s the deal – I buy stuff. A lot of stuff. Like ice cream makers, and onion savers. And magazines. And eyeshadows, lip glosses and nail polish. Dresses to go out in, new leggings and boots, big earrings and dozens of bangles. Actually, more clothing, accessories and shoes than you could possibly imagine. I buy new furniture, water bottles, paintings, games, books, smelly soaps and wine glasses. I buy fancy candles, frames for my desk, Orchid plants…any little trinket “they” (people out to get me) put near the checkout stands. Sometimes when I’m bored, I’ll go to Ross or Target and just look for stuff to buy. Stuff, stuff, stuff.
Quite frankly, it’s embarrassing.
I thought about giving up consumerism for Lent. That never happened for one reason or the other. I continued to buy – then just before I received word on the yoga challenge, I read this post on Dooce.com about a woman who drew pictures of all the things she bought, every day, and posted them to her blog (eventually creating a book). A record in over consumption, I suppose.
Boy do I over consume.
So I’m detoxing – my wallet and my mind.
Today I’ve already saved:
- $12.95 on a Jack Johnson CD I thought I had to buy at Starbucks this morning (But I didn’t!)
- $48 + shipping on a pair of Tom’s I still feel like I can’t live without (God dammit they’re cute!)
That’s roughly ~ $70 richer. Seventy dollars that I’m transferring over to my savings. This is going to add up quick.
And tonight’s my first (hot-ish) Power Vinyasa class.
Wish me luck.
(And join me if you want!! Even if you’re a day or two late… leave a comment letting me know you’re on board, and I’ll create a little badge for your blog.)
Currently Feeling:A little nervous for my first class tonight – a Power Vinyasa to current pop and rock-n-roll music. I’m easing myself into HOT yoga (this one is at 95 degrees).
Currently Anticipating: Gathering all the photos from this weekend to share with you – SO much crazy fun.
Currently Loving: My new yoga bag that carries that mat on the bottom (hey – I bought it yesterday BEFORE June 1!)
