Acupuncture, Barre, Randoms and a Winner!

The start of the New Year means I am getting down to business.  I have been eating healthy and taking care of myself.  This involved trying Acupuncture and a Barre Class.  

I have wanted to try Acupuncture for awhile now.  I have heard such great things about it.  I went to a local place here called Charleston Community Acupuncture.  When I first walked in I was like this is so not for me.  There was weird hippie music playing and it just had an earthy vibe.  Those things make me uncomfortable.  I really wanted to leave.  However since I was there and had an appt I decided to give it a shot.   Since it is a community place you are in a room with other people, you are fully clothed but that part was a bit weird to me, so the owner gave me a semi private room which made me feel way more comfortable.   I was so nervous but Chad (the owner) helped me take a few deep breaths and relax.  The needles did not hurt one bit and it was the most relaxed I have been in a long time.  I seriously think I dozed off for a few minutes and I am not a napper. My mind and body just felt at peace and crazy relaxed.  I honestly forgot there were needles in me.  I know you need to go several times for results and I def plan to go back weekly.  

I bought a Living Social deal a few weeks ago for a set of  Barre classes and tried it out this week.  I am no stranger to barre workouts, as I own the Physique 57 DVDS which are basically the same thing.  But the class was way harder.  Maybe because people were watching me I pushed myself harder but it was an insane workout.  I went to Barre Evolution and highly recommend.  I was so sore afterwards which means it was a great workout. I went twice last week and plan to keep it up.  My body needs some toning for real and I think this is just the thing to accomplish that.

 

In other random news, I am obsessed with this Theory Blouse I got after Christmas.  It is on crazy sale right now, go get you one you will love it.

I found knobs for my Hutch, thanks to Caitlin Marie who alerted me to the Restoration Hardware sale. These beauties are going to look perfect.

We had perfect weather here this weekend and spent alot of time outdoors.   Crazy warm temps for January but we enjoyed it anyways!  A few snapshots from our weekend.
