#SelfcareSunday but make it festive. ❄️🎄Our annual family cookie baking adventure in DC was a success!

Winter White activewear:❄️Yay or nay? Not hard to tell where I stand with it. 😉 I’m all about festive colors, textures and prints (hence the velvet set I was sporting yesterday) and apparently I put them all through the sweat test at @dancebody. 👏🏻👯‍♂️ #DBSquad #Dancebody

⠀
It’s been way too long since I stepped into a #Corepoweryoga and now with the cold weather I’m super excited to reactivate my Black Tag Membership and get my booty back into their heated yoga sculpt classes! 🔥 ⠀

Let’s talk BALANCE TRAINING. 🙌🏻 Balance is a key component of all functional movement and it’s SO important to continuously improve upon it to help avoid injury. 💯 ⠀
⠀
Thankfully, yoga has so many incredible balancing postures to choose from. Each one helps improve mind body awareness, strengthens the more delicate muscles of the ankles along with larger muscle groups and really challenges us to focus and be present! ✨👌🏼⠀
⠀
Four of my beginner friendly favorites? ⠀
1️⃣ Humble Warrior ⠀
2️⃣ Tree Pose⠀
3️⃣ Warrior 3⠀
4️⃣ Twisted Chair Pose ⠀
⠀
Do you have a favorite balancing yoga pose that you like to practice? #YogaTip #MelDoesYoga #MyYogaLife

𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 🎄✨ Well here we are, the first day of the last month of the year! And to kick it off with the right mindset, here are the three themes I wish to focus on this month: ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
1️⃣ 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫: 🎄 Christmas is my favorite holiday not only because it’s a celebration of the birth of Jesus but also because there’s so much happiness surrounding it! I definitely want to celebrate to the fullest this year ❤️⁣⠀
2️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐨𝐲: This has been such an incredible year of milestones, both big and small. 👏🏻 I want to reflect with gratitude and approach each new day full of joy. ⁣⠀
3️⃣ 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭: I want to cut down on screentime and focus on enjoying the last 30 days in 2019! It also means saying yes to all the fun holiday activities and get togethers that I can possibly do. 🎁⁣⠀

1 DRESS, 3 WAYS: WHICH ONE IS YOUR FAV? ❤️ Not going to lie, I've been a big fan of the clothing rental industry for quite some time and when I heard of @Haverdash I was seriously intrigued!⠀
⠀
Think of it as a rotating closet where you can rent 3 different pieces at a time and swap them out as you please for just $59 a month! 👏🏻💕 I decided to rent one super cute "Cupcakes and Cashmere" dress for my trip to Florida and style it 3 different ways for all my needs. 🥰⠀
⠀
I really do my best to pack light so bringing one signature piece that can be dressed up or down is super ideal. 💁🏻‍♀️ The best part is when I'm back in NYC I can just send it back and get a new item!! It's a great way to experiment with different trends and styles in a more sustainable way. 🙌🏻⠀
⠀
Head to my Stories to see more pics from the 3 different looks! 😊 #Haverdash #Sponsored (📸: @christinewozzphoto)
