Every time I go to the parking lot at the sports complex in school, I take a deep breath in as I walk by the pool and think to myself, I soooo love the smell of chlorine. I have always, always wanted to have a pool in my house. Not an inflatable one, but the [...]

When I first started this blog, I wrote about the wheatgrass drink that I had tried.  I must admit I wasn’t super sold on the flavor of it, but the health benefits are supposedly very good so I have recently been trying to introduce it back to my diet. Ideally it would be nice to [...]

There are two things I will miss so very, very much now that summer is over. Summer is, after all, officially over literally and figuratively (I say this because besides the gloomy, chilly, wet and cold weather that I hate oh soooo much, classes have begun in the university I teach in so it’s back [...]

I am really grateful for this blog. I have so many blogs, to be honest, and I love them all dearly, but this one, I must say, has really been the most life changing one. It’s life changing, I suppose, because of the theme of the site in itself. I have said this time and [...]

It came out very useful when I started doing vinyasa classes because I sweat like crazy in that class. And when I say sweat like [...]

With one day left to my challenge, I met the goal! 30 mat practices (in class and on my own, that is!) on or before 30 days WOOT. It was nice to end the challenge with a Talikwas soft belly yoga workshop with Lucia Misa, author of the recently launched book Yoga in the Wild. [...]

When I first started with my diet, I decided I should give myself prizes for meeting goals I had set. However, although I met the goal, I seemed to have changed the prizes along the way. Haha. For example,  I never did get that scanner (although a friend of mine gave me hers but I [...]

Yes, I know it’s a few days early but I blame Facebook for this! Haha. Lately I keep seeing status updates about changing your profile picture to one of your mother in honor of Mother’s Day so I started looking for a good photo of mom and me. I came across this one and it [...]
