I Tried It
In full disclosure, I was an immediate skeptic when I received my HeadPeace Headband in the mail. It was a silky material and that almost always means it’s going to slip right off my head. But I’ve always been a girl that likes to be proved wrong, and in this instance, I WAS WRONG. ...
Lessons Learned from my First Yoga Festival
This past weekend I had the JOY of attending my first yoga festival (for free!). I had no idea what to expect- Was this going to be full of Instagram-ready yogis? Would the physical practice be hard? I want to share my experience with y’all in the hopes of de-mystifying some of the ...
Watch out Crocs! There is another bulky, colorful, comfy shoe on the market- the Birkenstock® Arizona EVA sandal– and it’s ready to take your place. They aren’t the typical leather material that you think when you hear Birkenstock, but made of a rubber material. A couple weeks ...

How I Hacked my Coffee Break and Got Control of my Anger
