On My Radar

One word for the week? SNOW. I actually don’t mind the snowfall part so much. (It’s the brown slush that we have to trudge through the next day that I don’t like.) While the sidewalks are pretty gross, I have to admit that the city takes on a magical glow when covered in lots of fresh snow. 
Because of, I guess… winter, my body has been feeling super tight and tense. My shoulders scrunch out bracing myself for the wind in my face. Yoga has been a saving grace!!! I can’t believe just how much I love it. (Remember how nervous I was to start?!) I’m not doing headstands or anything– yet– but I’m getting so much better. Every week I feel stronger and more flexible. This week felt like a major breakthrough. My classes rocked and I noticed a huge difference in my body. 
Bam! Take that winter blues!
What’s on my radar:


ONE // Mary Cain is Growing Fast

I love reading about young women doing incredible things. Mary Cain is amazing! I read this article on the train and felt both totally inadequate and inspired to go for a run. (The icy sidewalks prevented that, but I at least thought about it, ha.) Definitely bookmark this article to read later if you don’t have time today… it’s really worth it.

TWO // Snapchat Resume

What’s the best way to get a job at Snapchat? This guy thinks a Snapchat story will land him the job. I was laughing the whole time. Really smart!!! I would hire him for the job.

THREE // Getting into good habits

Best. Article. There are so many good habits I wish I could adopt, but I always fall short. I burn out after a short amount of time. Who knew getting into a good habit isn’t that hard at all? It’s also interesting to see the ties between happiness and habits.

FOUR // Mexico!!!

So my sister and I were planning a girls’ trip… then it turned into a family trip. “The sooner, the better” was the general consensus. We wanted it to be warm… and we chose Mexico. We went to Mexico in 2012 and we’re all eager to go back. I did a lot of retail therapy this week in preparation: a striped rash guard, a new (one piece! ah!) swimsuit, the cutest hat, killer espadrilles… and a few more things, too.

FIVE // Bar Mitzvah Music Video

Need a good laugh? This video is amazing. I love this kid’s enthusiasm and commitment to the video… and his brother’s lack of enthusiasm is just as entertaining. The best Friday pick-me-up. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve watched/listened.

Anything good on your radar this week?
