I LOVE people who think outside the box. Those who don't regurgitate the same old, same old ideas and information. I ENJOY those on the leading edge of creation who inspire others! This is my compilation of people who inspire me. They helped me see a new perspective.

If you've only ever known American craft breweries or English pubs, walking into a Czech hospoda for the first time is going to mess with your head — in the best way. Liter beers cheaper than water, food that tastes like your grandma cooked it (if your grandma was Czech), and a drinking culture that makes you wonder why we overcomplicate everything back home. Took me three trips to Prague and two to Brno before I stopped making rookie mistakes, so here's everything I figured out the hard way.

I’ve curated items that provide good formula, versatility and room for any personalized look while on a budget or not. Affordability and quality were the main focus when creating this storefront.

Whether it’s your full time job or just a side hustle to bring in some extra cash, bartending can definitely be a money maker. These are some useful tools of the trade that I’ve found helpful.

I am a woman who loves fragrances! And, I love all different fragrant notes. One day I could be wearing a woody scent and the next a floral. It all depends on my mood. Here is a list of some of my fragrance faves that give “Main Character Energy” because they just smell that amazing on their own without being layered. These are also great gifting options for friends and loved ones!

Body acne happens, and I’m not about to pretend it doesn’t. This list is all the stuff that actually helps me keep my skin clear, smooth, and feeling good. These are my go-to products for fighting bumps, calming flare-ups, and still smelling amazing while I do it. If you’re on your own “soft skin but make it acne-friendly” journey, here’s everything that works for me. No shame, just solutions! Disclaimer: Please choose 1 body wash, 1 exfoliant, 1 salicylic acid body spray, 1 exfoliating body lotion(amlacting,…) to alternate with 1 moisturizing body lotion, and finally 1 sunscreen!

Where I turn to for fitness (+accessories), mindfulness, nutrition, and fun! I love exercising and being outdoors. They bring me back to nature, our nature (www.anajohnsonauthor.com). Here are my favourites for walking, hiking, running, tennis, biking, weight training, skiing, and mindfulness (moving meditation, tai chi and strength training qigong). I also have to look after the body, so use heating pads for soreness, go for acupuncture and deep tissue massage. I use healthy creams for any injuries. For nutrition, here are my favourite protein powders and electrolytes to keep up with running, tennis, strenght training, and biking. Don’t forget the running/walking companion (Dalmatian 🐶)!

I used to think online workouts were boring, but then I found a few trainers on YouTube that totally changed my mindset. My favorite? A quick 20-minute HIIT session from MadFit and a calming yoga flow with Yoga with Adriene. These sessions feel like they were made for my mood whether I need an energy boost or just want to stretch after a long day. The best part? I don’t need fancy equipment, just a mat and my phone. It’s my little ritual that keeps me moving, even on days when I’d rather stay curled up in bed.

I used to be a fitness instructor and live in the gym. Now I like to do my workouts in the quiet of my own home. I have found a handful of instructors on YouTube that I follow. They keep things new & fresh with a variety of different workouts. Check them out!

Here's the best secondhand shopping tools and sites to help you shop secondhand first! We also included some of the best secondhand shopping in NYC Shopping secondhand first is an easy, meaningful way to reduce waste, save money, and slow the demand for new clothing production. With an estimated six generations of clothes already in circulation, far more than we currently use, choosing preloved items helps keep quality pieces in use longer instead of sending them to landfills. It’s a simple shift that supports a more sustainable fashion cycle while still allowing for personal style and discovery.
