Our Thanksgiving was INCREDIBLE! I love having a full house, using the fancy dishes, and spending the day with those I love most. Quite often holiday preparation feels like a marathon, and once the guests arrive the day transitions to a sprint. I must experience memory loss because every year — without fail — I’m surprised at how quickly I’m standing at the sink doing dishes. Exhausted. Sad that it was over so quickly, yet happy and grateful to have my amazing family and friends. We clearly have SO much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: Thank you so much...

This is the first in a series celebrating our happy customers. Bringing happiness into the lives of people is at the core of everything we do. Kathy’s purchase was a huge milestone for us because she was our very first customer. Since then, Kathy has been a supportive cheerleader and enthusiastic brand ambassador — and we are so very, very grateful. Connecting with our customers and learning about their lives and yogic journey helps us be a better company. When people like Kathy are so generous with their time and feedback it’s a tremendous value — one that we want to honor and celebrate....

You can probably feel it, too. Maybe you’ve been downloading supply lists for your kids, or reviewing syllabi for your own classes. You might be checking your budget for back to school clothes, filling out a FAFSA, or trying to narrow down extracurricular activities. Or maybe it’s 1:30 in the morning right now, and you’re huddled over a stack of old photo albums, tearfully...

I don’t know about you, but I am S-T-R-E-S-S-E-D. I’m swamped at work, my home is a mess, and all of my friends and their kids keep having birthdays, so I’ve spent significantly more time around clowns than I ever thought possible. But of course, whenever my schedule gets too full to handle, the very first thing to get removed is anything related to my own self-care. When so many other things need to get done, taking time for yourself feels kind of selfish, right? Well friend, I’ve gotta tell you something, and I want you to say it with...
