Bag Free @ Healthy Green Goods

Hey green Evanstonians: today's Chicago Tribune local features a story about Healthy Green Goods on Main Street and how Dr. Marny Turvill, the store's owner, has been bag-free for a year now.


"Most people don't even react," she says. "They just pick up their stuff and go."


Do you shop with your own reusable bags? Know of stores that do? Please share below.


Thanks to your smart shopping choices, Healthy Green Goods, and other earth-conscious stores, Evanston will save money and the environment.

Focus Forward Friday: Take Your Yoga with You!

Focus Forward Friday: A weekly ritual for deepening your Bikram practice.

Today's focus: travel! It's time to celebrate the upcoming trips that Hubs and I have coming up: Thanksgiving in Minneapolis, first week of December in Puerto Rico (for work), and Christmastime in California. I'm so excited!

I'm also thrilled to try some postures in exotic locations: maybe on the beach, in the woods, or even by a lake. Perhaps I can fit in a few classes at new studios.

Do you take your yoga with you when you travel?

I love enjoying nature in an urban setting. Nice Standing Bow, lady!

I just discovered these incredible pics on a sweet blog called The Rockstar Diaries that my cousin follows. If I were a ballerina, I'd be rockin' this look for sure. Aren't they stunning?

The Ballerina Project on Tumblr features some pretty incredible women.

Another, because I couldn't resist!
