ASHTANGA YOGA
I really could go on and on and on about the magic of Ashtanga. But all I’ll say is: I’ve been practicing for four years now and I hope I never stop. It is the gift that keeps giving. It has taught me how to truly love myself and take care of myself. It has taught me how to let go. I have not practiced any other form. The handful of times I’ve done a vinyasa class it feels… wrong. Also, Willem Dafoe practices Ashtanga, too (how do you think he can do all those poses???).
Harvesting with a basket
It feels oh so darling to harvest with a basket! It’s a classic for a reason. Find one at the thrift, marketplace, ask your grandma etc etc etc
Having multiple library cards
The fun never ends, I get to explore new libraries and meet people, and what’s in circulation changes! They’re free and the opportunities are endless. I don’t pay for streaming services. I go to my library!
HAVING A TAILOR YOU LOVE
because it is MAGIC to fix your clothes and to make them fit. Tailoring breathes new life into old clothes. I’ve gotten dress sleeves, pants and cardigans hemmed. I’ll go back to my tailor to fix the hole in my winter coat. If you care about your clothes, you NEED a tailor! I found mine by asking around. Tailoring is a personal experience and it can be tough to find someone you trust and who doesn’t charge too much. I got the sleeves on this dress fixed and had my sweater cropped and I love them even more now
