A True Barre Babe: Why It Works Series

A True Barre Babe: Why It Works Series

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that I'm fitness obsessed.  Working out, whether I'm in a yoga or barre class, is a form of meditation to me.  When the Bar Method opened in Hoboken two years ago, I found myself immediately addicted and began attending classes four to five times per week.  As someone who, loves to focus on technique, the isolated movements work for my mind and body.  Bar Method is always my answer when people ask me why my arms are so toned. Fast forward to today, and I'm proud to announce that I'll be partnering with the Bar Method Hoboken to bring you barre inspired, monthly fitness tips.

Now that I was able to share the big news, I can tell you how I got that awesome ponytail in the ads.  My on-set hairstylist, Bethany Brill told me a tip that changed my life forever.

Introducing Bare Beauty NYC

Introducing Bare Beauty NYC

I was recently invited in for a treatment at a new spa, Bare Beauty NYC in the Flatiron.  Walking into the building, I was intrigued as it was like a We Work space for the beauty industry.  I walked past hair stylists, colorists and lash extension specialists before finding my way to the Bare Beauty suite – a perfectly set up, tiny room that only fit the necessities for Owner and Esthetician,  Wynter Hutchinson.  The facial, was one of the best I ever had.

How Are You, Really?

How Are You, Really?

I don't typically cover brand campaigns on my site, but Philosophy's latest spoke to me in a way that made it seem natural.  Their new campaign, 'How are you, REALLY' focuses on the honest state of our mental health.  How many times do you answer "How are you?" with "fine" or "great?"  I'm guilty of it all the time, because that's the expected answer.  No one asks to create an honest conversation.  In honor of Mental Health Month and with the help of Philosophy, that's all changing.
