MONDAY FITNESS: BIKRAM YOGA
My experience with bikram yoga (or hot yoga) has been one of extreme highs and lows. For those of you not familiar with bikram it is a type of yoga done in a heated room usually between 98 and 105 degrees. Each class you do the same 26 poses designed to strech your entire body and distribute fresh oxenegated blood to all your muscles, tendons, and organs. I did bikram pretty religously for over a year and I have to say it made me feel amazing...AFTER each class. During class I would experience a wide range of emotions from raging anger to extreme euphoria, but after class I felt refreshed and relaxed. It must have been something about the 100+ degree room that would bring to the surface all the emotions I had been trying to surpress during the day. Eventually I decieded to take a little break from bikram to try different types of yoga, my first "regular" yoga class in a "regular" air conditioned room felt like a trip to Disney World. But the truth is...I miss bikram. Well, maybe I don't miss bikram exactly, but the way it made me feel after I did it. I think I'll look into finding a hot yoga studio out here. If your in the Miami area this studio is awesome. Below are the 26 poses of bikram:

DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND
I LOVE old movies and last week I watched Gentlemen Prefer Blondes for the first time. It was cute, and all the outfits were so glamorous. Hence, the recreation of Marilyn's "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" costume. If you haven't seen it yet and have some room on your netflix queue I recommend it for a rainy day.

THE BACHELOR
I usually hate unscripted television but watching The Bachelor is my guilty pleasure. It's like a train wreck I just can't look away from. This season has been especially controversial because of Courtney, the house "mean girl". When I saw these funny pictures matched with some of her quotes from the show I couldn't help but laugh out loud (at work oopps). If you are following this season you may appreciate these.

ERNIE UPDATE
Ernie is now 7 months old and it has become very clear to me he is past his "baby" phase. He doesn't take as many naps anymore, ALWAYS wants to play, and is becoming more mischievous every day. He is now a toddler. Even though I look forward to every new day with him, sometimes I miss baby Ernie. Here is a look into the past for old times sake.

PRETTY IN PEPLUMS
Last Friday my amazing grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary! This was them at their wedding, where my grandma wore a pretty pale green dress with a peplum (A short overskirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse,dress etc). And now they are back in style! I'm not sure if I could pull one off as well as Nana, but there sure are a lot of cute options...
