Because movement should feel good, flowy, and nourishing—never stressful. ✨
One of my sons is now playing soccer about 6x a week, four practices and 2-3 games every weekend. We have tried a lot of gear at this point and him being smaller and shorter than his average 11 year old these are some of the things that have worked for us; its been difficult to find cleats for both artificial turf and grass and shin guards that fit properly.

If you’ve lived or visited NY you’ll know how unreliable the subway system can be. I prefer to be able to travel on my own schedule and it’s honestly pretty easy with all the new bike lanes but it can be scary at first. Unfortunately there’s so standard and the market is flooded with cheap products that barely work which I’ve had used before. I know there’s a lot of fear around electric vehicles and fires but they’re mostly caused by cheap 3rd party batteries and mishandling of the personal electric vehicles (PEVs). I’ve had multiple in my room for years and there has never been a problem other than the standard maintenance of the PEVs. Gotta remember all the ones I’ve tested so I’ll be adding to this list.

If you’re tall and tired of “ankle-baring” leggings or short sleeves, these are my go-to finds that truly fit.

These items make my life so much easier
Hey! I just want to share a little about my workout journey. As a busy single mom, there's no time for the gym. I consistently walk everyday, do pilates 1-2 times a week and have small weights. Home workouts are a great way to prioritize yourself while still handling all the day to day stuff.
