Bunnies and ZEN

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As a newbie to yoga, I seem to be missing a lot of accessories, props and gear that I need to help with asanas or problems like SWEATY PALMS! I entered a giveaway on Instagram for Bunnies and Zen Yoga Accessories to win a new yoga towel, and by surprise I won! It really is incredible that I did because I have been eyeing this yoga towel for a while, there are such cute designs!

This is a fun loving company full of bright ideas and designs, which is what attracted me to them in the first place. I received my yoga towel in the mail after learning I won, and it came with the cutest origami bunny (pictured in the photo above), which I thought was a nice touch.

After feeling the towel for the first time, it felt really silky, but not a slippery kind of silky because the texture is a bit rough in a way. This had me hopeful for an actual NON SLIP yoga towel because I have felt some that were just too silky and soft and no matter what, it would always be slippery. After laying it out on the floor and playing around for a few minutes, the familiar sweaty palms started to kick in. What amazes me with this towel is the sweatier my hands got, the more grip the towel had.

Overall this yoga towel is incredible, and with so many designs to choose from that aren’t your typical lotus flowers and rainbows style. I’m so happy I received this towel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly absorbent, no-slip yoga towel.

Yoga on the roofs of Toronto

/1 Comment/in , /by

What happens when one of the coolest Toronto photographers, @thrumikeslens (Mike), wants to do a sky high shoot that is basically once in a lifetime? You say HECK YES and collaborate! Seriously, I never thought Instagram could bring so many opportunities to meet cool creatives from around my city, and this one was definitely one to check off the bucket list.

I follow Mike on Instagram and his feed is crazy good. He takes a lot of daring roof top photos, and after a few comments here and there, a roof top photoshoot date was set up. I can’t thank him enough for taking me where most people can’t go. Check out some of the photos from the shoot below, it was really so much fun trying to get to the top of this building, and almost had a run in with security but all good 😉

Behind the scenes photos taken by my wonderful boyfriend Martin, and the rest are by the talented @thrummikeslens www.thrumikeslens.ca Check him out!

It was SO windy but it all looks so surreal once you are up there. I really thought I would be pooping myself, but it looks so fake so high up!
