I’d have gone completely insane this year if I didn’t “practice” yoga. I’ve been streaming videos from my fav studio VERAYOGA since April. They teach Vinyasa yoga, which is yoga as exercise… because exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, and happy people just DON’T kill their husbands. Very challenging but very worth it (hello, have you seen my abs???). Keeps me limber and grounded. They have good playlists, but sometimes I just put on Radiohead and pretend like I’m Dakota Johnson in Suspiria. Moody girl checkkk.

if you told me six years ago that I would be a devoted follower of a bay area yoga couple I would have probably believed you, but would've rolled my eyes. But after regular practice, taking stock of where I started and where I am now, yoga has changed my life. I do like the occasional class, but doing it at home is so much cheaper and you can build a foundation to know a little more about what you're doing. They have classes for all levels and a paid Patreon channel if you want longer ones (75, 90, 120 minutes🔥)
I'm normally not into the woowoo stuff, but something about Flo's assurances that you don't need to worry about how a pose *looks* only how it *feels* makes all the difference. Focusing on your breath and his vocal cues help tune you into parts of your body you forget about. And that awareness reaches far to so many other areas of your life. If you're at all curious about yoga, don't roll your eyes or by a cynic like 2018 me. Get into it.

I love taking fitness classes IRL and I think boutique fitness is so interesting and literally, like I said, could just make this whole thing about that. So if you ARE interested in recommendations of studios and teachers and stuff reach out to me bc I am going to STOP but I did wanna say-- if you’re someone who’s been practicing yoga for a long time, especially at home, it can get kind of monotonous- you start to be able to predict where you’re going next, like, Warrior 2, then Reverse Warrior, then Triangle. Etc. So I recently found this girl I am in love with and her name is Nicole and she doesn’t upload videos very often but they’re like the closest to an in-studio experience I’ve ever had at home. Her sequencing is so creative!! She’s an artist. It’s definitely for more experienced people, but if that is you, I think you will love her. She is amazing at coming up with crazy flows that are so fun and challenging. And a lot of them are a nice hour long!!If you are newer to yoga and are maybe burnt out on Adrienne, I think you would love Yoga With Kassandra... she’s really accessible.. this is all free on YouTube I should have specified

I live in NY now but lived in LA for about 5 years in my early 20s. I was a party girl and my fav thing to do on weekends was to sneak into luxury hotel pools. Chateau Marmont’s pool is easy to slip into if you have the confidence… walk in like you own the place!!! I’ll always have a soft spot for the Chateau because it’s the main character in my favorite Sofia Coppola movie, Somewhere (2010). My dear friend Chris Chang knows how much I love the hotel and sent me their signature candle via snail mail one cold winter. It’s such a warm scent and it brightens up my mood instantly. I only light it when I’m feeling EXTRA homesick for Los Angeles because I want it to last forever (I’ve actually burned through 3 of them at this point).

I don’t think I’ve ever read sci-fi before in my life, but when they (the industry) announced that the new film adaptation of Dune would be starring my angel Timothée Chalamet, I was like okay… hmm… interesting… My friend kept bugging me to read it and finally I was like, you know what, fine. I bought a copy at McNally Jackson (“gotta do it for Timmy” said the cashier… he knew). At first I was like, what language is this in??? But then I discovered the glossary and started getting the flow. Instantly hooked. The story is addictive and it felt good indulging in something totally new. It’s so not me… but I’m sick of me. I want an escape! I want to be on another planet! Arrakis!!!!
