Tuesday Tidbits


In an effort to not feel like a lazy swine, my friend Christi and I enrolled in classes at Arkansas Yoga Center. I was a student there about three years ago and, for a reason I seem to have forgotten, stopped going.


Well, I started again. Four days a week or so, we’ll be hitting the studio for “hot” Bikram yoga. If you’ve never done a “hot” yoga sesh, I beg you to try it. It’s like being placed in a sauna and told to do backbends. Over and over and over again. And when you feel like you may pass out? Do some more.

I’m a glutton for punishment, so obviously, I love it.

………

We branched out last night at the S household. We utilized bok choy in our chicken noodle soup. I realize for some of you far cooler people, this is an everyday occurance. For a girl who relies on staples like Velveeta in her cooking, this was a stretch.

I felt like friggin Ina Garten.

……..

I was cranky yesterday and seeing 5,287 posts on Instagram about the whole Vine app made me even crankier. I don’t get it – why not just upload a video to Facebook, YouTube or a blog? Why must we have a new social channel to hawk our animated .GIFs? It makes me le tired.

………

I love that the best advice doctors have for this flu epidemic is “stay home”. And for those of us that have full-time jobs outside of the home? Buy a plastic haz-mat suit, I suppose.

A VERY sweet blog reader named Jennifer picked up the H&M jacket for me - yep, the one I was coveting so badly! It fits to a "T" and I love how it looks on everything from T-shirts to dresses. In case you live near an H&M, it'd be worth a buy.

What's going on in your world today?

  3. I really don't understand vine app either. It doesn't have any appeal to me yet.

  4. I don't get the vine app either. How many social media buttons do we need??? Yeah for Yoga. Never tried hot...not sure if I'm ready for that.

  5. I've never tried hot yoga but I'm hoping to in the next month or so with some girlfriends. I'm pretty sure I'll pass out but apparently this is happens? That scares me!

    And this whole Vine thing is stressful. I am boycotting any additional social media. Twitter, Instagram and blogland is enough :)

  9. Oh heyyy- finding an H&M asap! Love that jacket! I've heard tons of great things about hot yoga! I'm going to have to give it a whirl (or a backbend).

  10. I can't take any more social media. I don't get why I'd want to do vine anyway.

  13. I really want to try hot yoga but am nervous. My latest workout venture (Pure Barre) almost made me pass out, adding high temps makes me nervous!

  15. The thought of MORE social media just gives me a headache. And makes me tired.

    I say we start a "vine boycott".
