Delightfully Lost: My First Visit to Terrain

As an avid follower and customer of URBN Inc (Urban Outfitters, Free People, Anthropologie & [the newest] Terrain) when I heard of their newest concept, Terrain, I had to check it out for myself. With a day off, I took the trip up to one of their two locations in Westport, CT - the other in Glen Mills, PA - and found myself delightfully lost in an eclectic collection of plants and home and garden products. An employee even mentioned that at times she finds people wandering for hours. To completely tie in all your senses, there is a cafe and garden terrace that showcases local and organic meals as well as coffee, tea and sweet treats. (I indulged in an iced coffee and mini chocolate & vanilla cupcake) 

While still a new concept - the Westport location has only been open for a year - I believe that we will be seeing new Terrain locations very soon. Can you say Brooklyn? California?

Yoga Inspiration & Challenge

While I begin my journey back to the yoga life, sometimes I get stuck and need a little inspiration. 

The first video is of Briohny Smyth, one that I found some time ago. I can only hope to be able to have that much control over my body one day. Although I do believe that with dedication I can get there. 

The second video is of Meghan Currie. I just found this video today and I truly appreciate her take on yoga as art. The music, scenery, and movements of her body are captivating.

These videos inspired me to take on a little challenge that Free People suggested for one of their "Saturday DO" posts; 5 Sun Salutations each day, for 30 days. I'm going to change it up and make it one week (I'll be giving myself other challenges for the upcoming weeks) and add one minute of headstands. 

Ready, go! 

Or should I say namaste.
