Hello Darlings! In yoga foundation is everything. In regards to the physical practice of yoga (asana) this is taken quite literally. Without proper alignment and a solid base many poses are rather unattainable and can sometimes lead to injury. The great thing is that our bodies are our best teachers, and will let you know if you are doing something in a way that suits you! To help along that process, I thought that I would kick off my yoga posts with five foundational poses from which you can ... Read More about Five Foundational Yoga Poses

How To: Make Your Home Smell Like Fall
Hello Darlings! Welcome to day one of Blogtober! (Why, yes, I nicknamed the challenge I gave myself in my Autumn To-Do List- I’m a cool kid.)

From the ubiquitous Pumpkin Spice Lattes (which, strangely enough, I’m not exactly a fan) to roasting pumpkin seeds, to the crisp scent of cool air, autumn is chock full of piquant spices.

By adding a basil-lime pesto to quinoa, I brought a delicious herb-y brightness to the generally ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Basil-Lime Pesto Quinoa

To kick off the autumn series I’ve shared a cocktail that showcases two of my favorite spicy fall flavors, Cardamom and Clove.

Autumn To-Do List: 2013
Hello Darlings! A while back I wrote out a Summer To-Do list, which, although I didn’t check off everything on the list was really fun! Now that it is officially fall I thought I would make an Autumn to-do list and share all of my fall adventures! 1. Go on lots of fall hikes. Being a newbie to Denver and a native New England girl, I’m excited to see my first Colorado fall! I’m really curious as to how different the changing leaves will be! 2. Create a ‘Strange But Good’ ... Read More about Autumn To-Do List: 2013
