TranquiliT All-in-1 Update

September 18, 2009

You may remember that a couple of months ago I bought the TranquiliT All-in-1.  It was kind of a leap-of-faith purchase for me.  I tend to like my unstructured clothes to be comfy yoga pants or leggings and wrap toes.  When it comes to dresses, I am all about structure. But, after having lost some […]

How do I wish to stretch? {Wishcasting Wednesday}

September 16, 2009

Lately I have been thinking more and more about what it means to enjoy being physically active.  You see, I never get endorphin highs from exercising.  Even a great yoga class does not bring me to that point.  I also used to get awful headaches and rolling nausea post-exercise, despite being hydrated, having eaten enough, […]

{Beauty Monday} My Three Favorite Lip Balms

September 14, 2009

I love love love lip balm.  Oddly, though, I do not like minty lip balms. I far prefer sweeter smelling lip balms, and love just about any of them that have honey as part of the ingredients.  Over the years, I have found a few eco-friendly favorites I keep coming back to:  * Burt’s Bees […]

I Heart Fountains

September 13, 2009
National Gallery Sculpture Garden

Last Sunday, husband and I went over to the National Gallery.  Before going in, we sat for a little while in the National Gallery Sculpture Garden, which is one of my favorite places here in Washington, mainly because of the large fountain pool at the center of it, though I never tire of the sculptures […]
