Hello Darlings! I am on the computer constantly- both my job and being a blogger require it. So I know the slouched over, uncomfortable chair, lower back pain ‘uck’ that comes along with sitting in front of a screen all day. But just a short yoga session can ease some of that discomfort and allow your body to recoup from a day of sitting in a rather unnatural position. The basics are also incredibly helpful for loosening the body after a day of sitting (especially downward dog!) so, I ... Read More about Yoga Poses for Office Workers

Meatless Monday: Autumn Spice Almond Butter
Hello Darlings! This week’s Meatless Monday From A-Z’s ingredient was incredibly open ended: nuts.

Ingredients: - 1 Cup Almonds - 2 Tablespoons ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Autumn Spice Almond Butter
Autumn Drink Series: Mulled Wine
Hello Darlings! Mulled wine is an autumn and winter staple drink in my mind. My first recollection of falling in love with it was walking down the streets of Vienna when I was studying abroad.

But, nevertheless, the hike was still gorgeous and little miss Tink was super happy to hike and play in the water! Not a bad way to spend and afternoon (and keep checking things off of my Autumn to-do list!) I thought I would share ... Read More about Hiking Castlewood Canyon State Park
Yoga Poses for Runners
Hello Darlings! I’ve often heard that yoga and running are counterintuitive. One adds stress and tightens the body, the other lubricates joints and stretches while calming the body, essentially they are each other’s antithesis. What a silly notion! I think everything is about balance; why not practice yoga to counterbalance your running, or vice versa! I’ve geared this post towards the tight runners, and have included poses that help to stretch the large muscles in runner’s legs, twist out ... Read More about Yoga Poses for Runners
