This owlet has it nailed! Check out that proprioception – he can even sleep one one foot! Also: Awwwww!!!! Do this now. Yes, right now. It will just take a minute. Probably less. Whatever you are doing, drop it (okay not literally, especially if you’re doing dishes – but then how would you be reading …
See, THIS is how I use foam in my workout: to stuff fake pieces of candy to pin to my Katy Perry costume for our annual celebrity- themed Turboween workout tonight! And seriously, how hot do I look with blue hair? I kinda want to dye it cobalt blue. Because kickboxing for an hour in …

See? He’s so cool he doesn’t even need a mat! The Times was right! Scorpio? Libra? Who needs a sign to make unfounded snap judgements about strangers? The zodiac is sooo 70′s! According to the NY Times, the new thing is to judge a girl by her yoga mat. (Because yoga is soooo, uh, ’70′s?) Actually …
I was kind of rolling my eyes until I got to #9. That question will haunt me until my dying day. “So I have a post idea for you,” a friend at the gym recently said to me. (Incidentally this friend is the only person I have ever seen do the Wicked Wiper in person …
