Our Love Yoga Review

Over the years yoga has gone from a rarely seen hobby to a mainstream topic.  Chances are you not only know someone who does yoga, you have someone on your holiday shopping list who does yoga!  Since they probably already have a mat and the necessary accessories, I'm going to give you a great alternative to buy for them.

The first item is Our Love Yoga's ChakraVee-Willfullness Tee.  The tee is part of their Chakra line of tees and you can get one featuring each of the seven charkas.  This tee has a very flattering v neck.  Not too deep, but enough to give it some style.  It looks more like a top and less like a plain tee.  Its burnout fabric also adds some depth.  Of course the graphic on the back really adds style!  However, its not overpowering.  This is a tee I'd throw on with a nice cardigan, as opposed to a tee you'd wear to bed at night.  I will warn you though.  You won't want to change out of it.  It is amazingly soft and comfy!












The second item I want to tell you about is the chakra burnout thermal.  Its the warmest, comfy long sleeve tee I have.  Unlike most of my long sleeve tees, it has a shape to it.  Its stylish and functional, something that's hard to come by.  The seven charkras are depicted down the back of the black thermal.  I keep throwing this top on to go to and from the yoga studio and then being disappointed later int he day when its dirty and I can't throw it on to hang out, read a book, etc.

Both of these tops would make great presents for the yogi in your life or the fashionista. They are not expensive, but good quality and fabulous comfort!

Love This Life Review

Know how you always wear some of your clothes over and over again because
they are comfortable and SO SOFT?  Well that's how you will feel about Love
This Life wear.  I was recently sent their Buddha hoodie.  I expected to
wear it before and after yoga class on the way to the studio.  Well it
quickly became a staple in my closet.  I took it out of my "workout" section
and put it into my "favorites" section.

The hoodie is made from soft cotton and flows with me as I wear it.  I don't
have to pull it down as it has a little extra length to it.  I love that I
can bend over or reach over my head and not worry about exposing my back or
front.



The arms are just the right length, again not too short like some hoodies.
It washed very well and is still soft.

The Buddha graphic on the front is calming and cute.  Its in silver which
adds a little pizzazz to the shirt.  I always get compliments when I wear
this piece.  Its truly a piece of your wardrobe, not just anther tee shirt.

And Love This Life has TONS of other clothing options!  Check them all out
here: http://www.lovethislifeshop.net/
They are not overly expensive as you'd expect a boutique brand like this to
be and the company is made up of genuinely nice people.
Their line would make great gifts for anyone in your life who needs a little
reminder of peace throughout the day, and who couldn't use that?

Halloween Running Costume

Okay because I'm a big fan of being comfortable, and I'm a big fan of dressing up in costume to run races, I really had to think through my Halloween costume for the annual local Halloween race.

I will admit that I own a few costumes and I've worn them a few times over the years.  My favorite is Minnie Mouse.  So when I started figuring out what to wear for the Halloween race, I was all over the place in thinking about what to wear etc.  Like I said I hate being uncomfortable.  So while I admire the runners who can run a race in a banana costume or with a bowl of pasta on their head, I'm not one of them.



Okay so here is what I decided.  I decided to reinvent my favorite costume running style:.  I purchased Running Skirts red mini dot skirt.  Its red with white dots just like Minnie's skirt.  I will add a black running top (dependant upon the temperature that day), my regular road shoes, black knee socks and my signature sequin Minnie ears (held in place by barrettes).  We will see how it all pulls together soon!!

Even Dogs Love Yoga :)

On a sad note, our Roxy was diagnosed with Lyme disease this week.  She is on medication and should be just fine.  She's a little tired and somber it seems, but loving all the attention she is getting from being sick.  She's also loving the daily peanut butter and cheese sticks she's getting that help me hide her pills!
