After I completed my RYT200 I wrote a post about the 10 things I learned in yoga teacher training. If you haven't already read that post, go check it out because this is part 2. Ten more things I learned in yoga teacher training as I just finished my RYT300. For those not in the know RYT is registered yoga teacher.

One Guiding Word 2018: Explore
Instead of setting resolutions for the New Year for the last 11 years I've chosen one guiding word to set intentions for the 12 months to come. I first started doing this is in 2007 when I was heavy into crafting and scrapbooking. I first saw the one word concept on Ali Edwards blog and immediately connected with it. My guiding word over the years have included: Focus - 2007 Change - 2008 Adapt - 2009 Balance - 2010 Achieve - 2011 Grow - 2012 Challenge - 2013 Thrive - …
One word – what did I DO in 2017?
At the beginning of each year I choose one word to set my intention for the year ahead. Rather than setting a ton of resolutions or firm goals one word is chosen as a theme to guide me through the year. For 2017 I chose the word "DO". I've mentioned before that sometimes the words don't always work the way you think they will, and this year was definitely one of those years. I had high hopes for 'do'. No more thinking or planning, instead just do! That was the plan, and while that …
7 Tips for using bathroom scales
This post is sponsored by Eat Smart for their battery free digital bathroom scale. Over the holidays I gained some pudge. Thanks to a 12 week whirlwind of a Hawaii vacation, Thanksgiving, birthday, Christmas, New Year, and culminating in a week at Disneyworld in January. If I'm honest though things were going South before that. 2016 was a pretty great year for me financially but I quickly realized that training clients 1-on-1 and teaching yoga classes has a limit. There is only so much you can …
Using one word to guide you through 2017
Since 2007 I've been picking One Little Word to set an intention through the year ahead. This concept was introduced to me back in my scrapbooking designer days by Ali Edwards. It's something I felt drawn to and something I've done every year since. Sometimes the words I've chosen have been amazing. Others, not so much. I get it, New Year's resolutions may not be something you do. However you may just find one little word something you embrace with open arms, and are more successful …

Vegan Cuts Beauty Box Giveaway!
Each month I get a Vegan Beauty Box from Vegan Cuts filled with vegan, and cruelty free cosmetics and skin care. I've blogged about them before here, and pretty much love their subscription service. In February something really unusual happened and due to a shipping error, on their part, I received TWO boxes. Rather than return it, they suggested I simply give it to a friend... which could be YOU! Yep, I decided that I'd do a blog giveaway. But wait, February box? This is March Di! Well I then …
One little word 2016 – Aloha!
Each year I choose a word for the year ahead. Ali Edwards first introduced this concept to me in 2007, and I fully embraced it. As I prepared to write this post declaring my One Little Word for 2016 I suddenly realized it's TEN YEARS of choosing a single word for the year. Wow, time flies. So why choose One Little Word for the year? As Ali says: A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be the ripple in the pond that changes everything. It can be sharp and biting or rich and soft and …
Less Stress at the Holidays with Lotus Foods
The Holidays can be a super stressful time, and this week leading up to Christmas is an 11 on a scale of 1-10. My schedule is screwy right now as clients have busy schedules, I had a birthday (I know you're thinking "Oh Di, happy birthday!" so thanks for the birthday wishes!), and basically we have no routine due to gatherings, parties and events, plus Bob got the horrible flu bug that's going round. It's times like this that meals and food prep gets put further down the priorities list and I …
