Hey Hey Barrebabes!
A real quick one form me today with some links to my equipment faves and some musings on feeling good in these crazy times.
Stuff and Things
As you know, my workouts are effective with or without special equipment, but a small investment in a few pieces goes a long way. thus, here are some links to things i like, by request :):

practices to help feel better when everything sucks
Amid the many emotions brought about by the pandemic, i have to say that a very genuine sense of gratefulness is one i feel every day. i feel fully aware of how lucky i am - and how fragile it is - to live the life i do. i am intensely grateful for my safe home, healthy family, and amazing job. but feelings of fear, guilt and frustration come creeping in, especially about systemic racism, climate change, the election/related and the coronavirus. i know i’m not the only one, so i humbly offer some actionable tactics for putting good vibes out in the world even when it feels a bit pointless:
1) put your phone down.the reasons for this range from protecting your posture to preventing the total breakdown of society (check out “the social dilemma” on netflix and you’ll know what i mean!)
2) act with courtesy and kindness to everyone. always.be anti racist in word, deed, and thought. actively pursue this always.
3) reduce.(then reuse & recycle). one small way i’m reducing is using less paper products for cleaning and using up all my skin care before allowing any more into the house. we also limit takeout to no more than twice a week (a move that saves in many ways all at once!)
4) have a centering, grounding movement practicefor your sanity, energy and long term health... like barre class (duh :)
what do you do to feel better/do better?
that's it for now, babes. till i see you again, do good and righteous things and TAKE CARE!
keep pulsing,
Annie
