Fall

Hello dear readers,

Today I decided to stay at home. I know I know, I should've gone to school but instead I wanted to skip it and clean up my little cottage (it was a mess!!)  and update you guys of what is going on these days in my head.

I always like to share my readings although these last weeks has been basically about economy and global problems, I recently got borrowed this book "Organic Manifesto" that I highly recommend for everybody. You will discover how important is to keep our life away from the Big Markets and its unhealthy products and choose to live better without them. IT IS POSSIBLE!!

I also loved this week NYT Magazine The Body Issue. Fast Company has become a great source of news to me too. I am a designer student, so this kind of magazines inspire me to make great things.
And well, I plan to make myself an herbs oils moisturizing cream and scented candles, so wish me luck!!

I am becoming a little obsessed with natural things, then I though, well I can do that by myself.
I recently read that most of scented candles you find at stores are very toxic and and releases so many pollution. I heard about this some years ago, but I just realized it until now.


So, I know that there is nothing more relaxing and cozy than a cup a coffee, a nice book and a scented candle, but try to avoid those cheap candles from the dollar store, and pick a beewax with cotton wicks.
I leave you this link so you can check alternative options.

Hope you have a great and enjoyable season.
Lots of warm hugs
J.

Exposición

Not everyone has the courage to expose the truth about ourselves.

What is Yoga?

In words of my guru Tara Stiles:

 What is Yoga?

Yoga means union.
The sanskrit word yoga has many meanings: to unite, to join, to contemplate, and to be absorbed. When we practice it regularly, we unite our mind, body an spirit. We connect with ourselves, and we are able to connect more meaningfully with other and the world we are in. 

       Yoga is the ultimate act of self study. It is a daily dive deep into ourselves, where we come back refreshed and ready for all comers. Yoga goes much deeper than streching. How you live in your body, how you experience it, is how you live in your mind is tense your body is tense, and it dominos through the rest of your life. If your mind is out of balance, your body is out of balance, and your life can spiral out of control. If your mind is calm, open, and focused, your body and life also reflect and expand acordingly.
