3 inches taller

Hope you’ve had an awesome Thursday! <3 Some things from the day: -A posture and balance workshop. We used small balls and tennis balls for stretch and balancing poses, and wow. I feel 3 inches taller and like a NOODLE. My favorite one was on our back, placing a small firm ball on the back…

The sound of silence

We enjoyed last night’s taco dinner sans the usual background music of the TV. Our satellite provider was having some issues, so we turned the TV off for the night. I can’t believe how peaceful it was without it.. but I will be excited to catch up on Giuliana and Bill later today 🙂 Work…

Black Bean Quinoa Burgers

Hey friends <3 How’s your day going? So glad you enjoyed the step video and I’m happy to hear I wasn’t alone in the leotard over shorts craze.

It all adds up

Hi friends 🙂 How was your Indian Food Wednesday? Did anyone celebrate? I find it very appropriate that today’s Tucson Groupon is for Indian food. We might have to hit that up…. I just got home from a full day of teaching/assisting at work, and snuggled up with the pup and a bowl of popcorn.…
