healthy and beautiful

lauren and I are no strangers to airplane rides or adventures. I’m sure our shared history traveling on Semester at Sea and desire to live FULL lives are two of the reasons we work together so well. This past year, I made it a priority to say 'yes' to as many escapes, adventures and retreats as my calendar (and bank account) will allow. Rather than having a Year of Yes (great book by the way), I think of it as only saying YES to things that make my body feel really good. Food, movement, and good people are my priorities. ( yogascapes  Moab with  Kerri Kelly  +  Jason Bowman )  I should share that as an anti-type A person (more type Z), retreats are my favorite way to travel. After showing up in Thailand itinerary-less a few years ago, I’ve realized that planning, or outsourcing the planning, is in fact wonderful and necessary. Interestingly, lauren is a self-confessed type A-person and likes outsourcing the organizing too. This way, she can obsess about somethin...

Our newsletter today focuses on healthy rituals. We culled top food and fitness experts for their daily rituals and the answers were inspiring (and funny).   Some responses were too in depth for our monthly newsletter and so we’ll feature them here this week. In the meantime, the newsletter also mentioned those rituals you wish you did which we call “wishuals”. Meditation has been a wishual for me for some time. I think it’s been a New Year’s resolution.   I’ve polled my Facebook friends to find out their favorite meditation teachers,  I even went to an intro session on transcendental meditation (the twice a day requirement and weird cult-like infomercial ruined it for me).   This past summer, I registered for a meditation retreat at The Garrison Institute retreat taught by Jack Kornfield (who I had heard about as I own one of his books). But I didn’t go; I didn’t read the book or attend classes either.   And if New Year’s resolutions were superstitions, I’d be...

Friday, I ventured back to yoga for the first time in two years. Way back when, yoga and I didn’t have a casual relationship. I joined Pure Yoga (membership based = unlimited classes) and approached yoga the way I do all things- obsessively. I swung toward hot yoga, sweat buckets and was even known to frontload my yoga with a run. I enjoyed the yoga, the music, the dark-ish room and eventually could bind and contort into some of the more difficult poses. However, this was not a mind/body journey for me. It was a body, body journey where I tracked by progress versus the yogi aficionados in the room and looked for physical evidence of yoga strengthening me. Simply put I didn’t get it. I questioned if I was sweating more than strengthening and defected back to barre classes as soon as they were offered. Recently (some of you have commented on my posts) I have been more aware of my need for “mind” work. I always suggest it for others and believe in it. And one can only give so much money ...

The men will be upset and feel hopeless that failed to perform his duties as a real man, especially to be able to perform in bed with his wife or the woman he loves. Although a man has a lot of money and wealth in abundance, but there are things to be feared by men since ancient times, which that their penis cannot stand up straight, or experiencing sexual problems like premature ejaculation .  Passionate love is everyone's dream.   Image: free13k.com Surely the men will be disappointed if his girlfriend or wife is not satisfied or orgasm.
