Day 1 was Pigeon. This is one of my favorite poses to just hang out in. I also did Mermaid, since it's a way to deepen the pose. Day 2: Extended Side Angle Pose, Utthita Parsvakonasana, into Bound Extended Side Angle, Baddha Utthita Parsvakonasana. Day 3: Wide legged forward bend. Prasarita Padottanasana A. Day 4: Extended … Continue reading August Yoga Challenge – She's Got Legs – Week 1

Summer Splits Final Week
I really loved the summer splits challenge. It was a good combination of splits, hip openers, and arm balances. Below, I've posted the final few poses and then a before and after shot of Lord of the Dance pose. Want to see a HUGE improvement in this one? Click here. I'm using the wall, and … Continue reading Summer Splits Final Week
She's Got Legs August Yoga Challenge
I'm so excited for this upcoming challenge. The goal is to be able to put your foot/feet behind your head (like pictures #27 and #29), so saying I'm excited is an understatement. I've always been able to get my leg up, but I have this crazy fear it's going to get stuck behind my head … Continue reading She's Got Legs August Yoga Challenge
Independence ARMy Yoga Challenge Week 1
Here are the photos and a video from week 1 of July's yoga challenge focusing on arm strength. I LOVED the first few days because I really like downward facing dog and Hindu push-ups. I also don't mind planks at all. Chaturanga is one of my favorites because it makes me feel strong. And I've … Continue reading Independence ARMy Yoga Challenge Week 1
Summer Splits Challenge Week 3
Here is the 3rd week of the summer splits challenge in pictures. I wrote a few paragraphs on updates we've done to our house so far (sparked by the green door picture), but they didn't really seem to flow with a post about yoga poses. So for this pose I'll just share these pictures and … Continue reading Summer Splits Challenge Week 3
Yoga Every Day in May and the Topic of Yoga Selfies
For the month of May, I decided to do a 30 day yoga challenge. I did yoga every single day, without fail, and posted a picture on Instagram and Twitter. Some days I did a full yoga routine, usually the p90x3 workout because it's one of my favorites, and some days I focused on one pose and worked … Continue reading Yoga Every Day in May and the Topic of Yoga Selfies
Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
This recipe is for raw fig bars. First, because I used to love Fig Newton's as a kid (maybe because in my mind I thought they were healthy), and second because once I tried a raw fig bar from One Lucky Duck, my life changed. Just thinking about them gets my mouth watering, and they … Continue reading Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
Review: p90x3…5 Weeks Down
So I officially have completed 5 weeks of p90x3, and I really like it. I'm following the lean schedule and I've done all of the workouts. I didn't use any of the built in rest days, but I did skip a few days when I had a headache, and when my parents came to visit … Continue reading Review: p90x3…5 Weeks Down
Hard Water Skincare Regimen
We've only been in our new house for a little over 2 months, but my breakouts have been driving me nuts. Not only are they ugly, but they are really painful too. I've never been much into a skincare regimen, usually I just wash my face in the shower, and *maybe* apply moisturizer. After doing … Continue reading Hard Water Skincare Regimen
Shopping and Pho…A Weekend in Pictures
When we bought our house, I found out the hard way that we were seriously downgrading grocery stores. Our last Giant had a great (and expanding) organic section, and even a beer garden. Apparently this Giant got rid of their organic section a while ago and integrated the products throughout the rest of the store. … Continue reading Shopping and Pho…A Weekend in Pictures
