Keep Calm & Do Yoga

Lately I've been lacking big time in the exercise area and seemingly piling on the stress. So today I decided to try something new to solve both my problems. I did yoga! And it was so amazing! If you listen and really do as the instructor says it can be quite the work out and stress reliever. 

I feel rejuvenated and less stressed. I only caught myself thinking about what I had to do when I returned home twice...That's pretty good for a girl that keeps herself up at night going through mental to do lists and making sure she doesn't forget anything.

The studio I visited is called Sellwood Yoga. A fantastic couple owns and runs the studio. They are quite nice and it is obvious their genuine desire to teach yoga. The studio, itself, is gorgeous. The front desk is made from a fallen maple tree and the studio opens up to a beautiful garden and streams of sunlight. 

My instructor, Bill, for Yoga for Athletes

During class we did all sorts of poses and at the end we attempted hand stands. That was a sight to behold...a very humorous sight. All in all, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back.

If you live in the Portland area, 

definitely check out Sellwood Yoga.

Sahlia Michelle: Jewelry for the Urban Explorer

I recently discovered this wonderful Portland artist while cruising the web one day and I immediately fell in love with her designs.  Each piece is designed and handmade in her Portland studio. 

She uses semi-precious gemstones, hand-pounded sterling silver and her signature recycled molten silver droplets in many of her designs.  She is also a fan of using organic materials such as reclaimed leather, and feathers.  

Her jewelry is no unique, I just love it!  Not to mention, she also happens to be a total babe!  Here is just a tease of the beautiful work she has created:
