    The best yoga channels on YouTube

    January 9, 2025

    With 2025 in full swing and the plethora of new year’s resolutions around exercising (or simply moving your body) more, I thought it would be the perfect time to share a few of my favorites yoga channels and videos. Whenever I’m looking to get back into movement and exercise, yoga is the very first thing I turn to. Probably because there are so many variations and ways to practice.

One of my goals for 2025 is to waste less and use more of what I already have on hand. And as much as it pains me to admit, plastic bags are something we always have on hand.

  • The cookie scoop is my new favorite kitchen tool

    December 31, 2024

    I never thought having a cookie scoop was a necessary thing. That was, until I got a set and started using them for everything but making cookies. I mean, I have used them for making cookies, it’s just not my preferred use for them. What really drove home the favorite status of the cookie scoop was when I made potato latkes this year for Hanukkah. It was the perfect tool for the job and helped to make the latkes uniform in size, making them cook more evenly. HUZZAH! So this post is an ode to the cookie scoop and all…
