Wellness
I think it's important to make sure you get out and walk. If you can’t walk in your neighborhood, get in your car and drive somewhere. I think that really makes a difference.
I’m a trained yoga teachers so I do a lot of yoga stretches. And I’ve gotten really into a few online fitness classes. I like Melissa Wood Health and Megan Roup. I also love The Class — it's like meditation with moving and dancing. It’s really awesome and hard.
Alo Yoga makes a really great yoga mat. I have a white one which I leave out in my space and it’s not an eyesore. I like leaving out my yoga mat so that I remember to workout, it really helps.
Alo Yoga Warrior Yoga Mat
Staying hydrated at home is really, really important.
Walter Water Filter
The Walter Filter is the best thing ever. You just put a Berkey Filter in it and now I never drink from plastic bottles.
W&P Porter Bottle
I love my W&P Porter Bottle. It’s glass with a silicone cover so you can easily carry it around.
