Solstice in Times Square: Athleta Mind Over Madness Yoga

I started off the first day of summer with a yoga session in the middle of Times Square! Every year Times Square and performance apparel brand Athleta join to celebrate the summer solstice with a day of yoga classes in Times Square. Not only do they provide free yoga classes all day, they also give away so many goodies like yoga mats, coconut water, snack bars, and magazines! This is my second time attending and I must say, although it takes place in one of the busiest locations in the world, it is one of the most peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating experiences! I feel empowered, blessed, and grateful to live in such an amazing city and the opportunity to soak in the incredible energy of the city while doing yoga is pretty awesome! It was the perfect way to welcome in the summer season and I can't wait to do it again next year!

LA Delay!

At this very moment I was supposed to be on a flight to LA, but as you all probably know, Hurricane Sandy has swept through NY and caused major havoc on transportation, travel, and pretty much everything else. Then I received that dreaded email that my flight was cancelled. I was majorly bummed to say the least. Now I leave tomorrow afternoon but I guess I must see it as the universe at work. Maybe for whatever reason I'm supposed to be in NY right now. Luckily my entire family and myself are doing just fine. Considering I live in a high rise building in Times Square, I haven't had to deal with power outages and flooding. I feel very blessed to have gotten through this storm safe and sound and I'm praying for anyone who has had a rough time through all this and the people and families who were affected by this hurricane. Fortunately the storm has died down and I get to say farewell to NY tomorrow for a few sunny days. My schedule is going to be a little tight while I'm out there but I'm sure I can schedule in a couple of things so feel free to email me at michellejailine@gmail.com.

Birthday Girl!

Today is my birthday and I feel so happy, healthy, and blessed! I was able to spend the day with family consuming abnormal amounts of cake, candy, and ice cream! Overall, it was a great day and I'm glad to have another successful birthday to add to my list of wonderful birthdays.

Biker Chic!

So happy the weather turned out nicer than expected today! It was pretty chilly this morning but I threw on a tank top once I noticed how sunny it was this afternoon. Hope you liked my outfit of the day!

All Bright Everything!

Boy oh boy was the sun shining bright today in NYC! Glad I decided to throw on some really bright colors to match the beautiful weather we are having here in the city. Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Still Feels Like Summer

It's September and summer is making it clear that it is not going anywhere anytime soon! It was a hot one today in NY and it's fashion week! My sis took these photos of me on my sundeck. Hope you enjoy!
