The word “yama” in yoga signifies abstinence. It is one of the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga practice. In fact, it is the first of the eight – followed by niyama, asana and pranayama. The first four seem to be the ones that most yogis know, if not observe. And as we progress up [...]
never go as planned.
I didn’t end up having my “medical” spa day (<-read thread) because this happened:
and her medical needs (at a substantial financial cost…) took priority over my vanity. Hey, check out my foot making a guest appearance in the photo! Gotta work in a discussion about shoes any way I can.
Happy healing!!
Time to pretty up before the holidays. Granted, I haven’t even had time to put up the Halloween decorations but I’m definitely thinking about skin!
So first off is the get the infrequent stuff - Botox and Juvederm.
It’s really confusing to know which Juvederm is which! There’s Juvederm Ultra, Juverderm Ultra Plus, Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Ultra Plus [...]

I was on a sugar ban for 2 months. Lost some “lbs” on the way, though I’m too scared to get back on the scale and see if they truly left or went on vacation [...]
Your chakras that is!
Yogi’s say that “clearing” your chakras is much like wiping your windshield of all the junk. Or polishing your jewelry to make it shine and reflect. It assists your overall energy and well-being.
Who couldn’t use a lot more of THAT in her life?
A previous post referred you to a site to “test” [...]

Sometimes, change isn’t for the best. Sometimes you shouldn’t mess with a good thing (<-so true…so true)
I’m talking about the JCrew “Favorite” Tank.
