Ohh I love doing Yoga! ^ ^
It can be a little uncomfortable to do the first couple of times but it really helps your mind and body! ^ – ^

This is a bit why I started it as well. My doctor ordered me rest and weight gain this past year which has done wonders for my health but now I had all these newly rebuilt muscles that were super tight! I get therapeutic massages and they recommended I do some light yoga to help stretch out the tight tight muscles. Yin yoga is supposed to be best for those situations.

This is a great page of the yin yoga positions if you decide to look into it!

Yes!! This was “lightly sweetened” and it was sweet to the max. I really was hoping for a straight bitter coffee flavor but no :/

Still too sweet. This was the “lightly sweetened” version and it was still too sweet for me. Illy’s is much better I think :D

I loosely use recipes. You can google for mini pie recipes and just adapt your tastes. I keep my apple versions super simple with just sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and flour. Then i bake about 15 mins on 350F :)

I feel like Starbucks drinks are too sweet too! I got a lightly sweetened coffee drink and was shocked by how sweet it was. They must have used a lot of artificial sweeteners because it wasn’t a particularly high carb drink!

Ahh! I needed this! I’m having anxiety and heart problems (elevated heart rate) and my cardiologist and therapist want me to do yoga, but I was on bed rest for two months and feel to tight all over when doing regular workout tapes, so I quit. Maybe starting out with this will help! :D

Hi Jenny! Right now I would give a lot of have some pie, ice cream and good iced coffee. How was the Starbucks by the way? For me, their bottled iced drinks are usually too sweet. I really like your ivy in the glass jars, looks so tranquil.

I’ve started doing yoga too, but I’m not in it for all the lifestyle crap either, haha. I just want to help my body.

Do you use a specific recipe for the mini pies?

I love yoga, but truly, any way that works for you IS the “right way”. There’s a lot of styles and there’s nothing wrong with just doing what works for you — and I think it’s great. (: I’m glad you’re seeing results!

I love the bathclin products. I’ll have to try that rose one! That magazine looks right up my alley, too… ahh, aging. hahaha

Awesome!! I tried to get into yoga before but there was all this pressure from people to do it “the right way” but any way can be the right way! :D

I agree with you about the word “yoga” :D I do a self-made-up version of this myself. I don’t mind relaxing and breathing and such, but honestly I mostly do it to stretch my muscles to become less stiff. No studios, no cleansing diets or any of that, haha…
