Napa, California

My journey with the pill has been a complicated one. Long story short - I had been on it for forever up until the beginning of this year when I decided to call it quits. About 6 months in, I ended up back on it again when my skin started having a total freaking out (a doctor had assured me my skin issue was hormonal and BC would take care of it ... unfortunately this was not the case 🤦🏽‍♀️). Eventually, I realized that the pill just wasn’t working for me (please note this is a personal choice, and not necessarily the case for everyone!) - being off the pill for half the year made it super clear to me that I was much happier without it. (Contrary to what my doctor & therapist at the time said - the pill CAN make people feel depressed ~ again, not everyone, but some people!). After going off for the final time, it took me about 3 months to get my period back. Here’s what I was up to that I believe may have contributed:
—
💕 Adding more healthy fats into my diet. No need to fear the fat! Coconut butter from @capbeautydaily has been a favorite.
💕 Shifting my primary workout focus to lower impact, less cortisol-inducing forms of movement (i.e. pilates) - this has been a gradual shift that you may have noticed D and I making over the last couple of years. You’ll still see us in high intensity workouts, but just less of them as a whole!
💕 Weekly acupuncture - I go to (and love dearly!) @aieshaabel - she’s great with re-balancing hormones, among a LOT of other things.
💕 NRT (nutrition response testing) with Dr. Beth Forgosh - this has helped restore my overall health (still a work in progress here, but am feeling SO MUCH better all around … I can’t even tell you!).
💕 Ridding a lot of toxic products from my daily routine (they are endocrine disrupters!) - I’m definitely not perfect in this regard, but every little change counts.
💕 Lowering overall stress levels - meditation, yoga, breathwork, therapy, designating time to take off work (easier said than done when you work for yourself!), working self care into my week (like lymphatic drainage), etc.

Pulse163

🚨NEW STUDIO ALERT🚨 and this time in the sunshine state ☀️~ @PULSE163 North Miami Beach!

I stumbled upon this gem on ClassPass . It was convenient, only 45 mins, 6 credits (yall know we love a #10AndUnder), and a sculpting workout … so naturally I was sold. TBH, sometimes my NYC high horse kicks in and I set a lower standard for spots outside of the city. Let me tell you, I was proven wrong here and should seriously stop judging a studio by it’s location (i.e. it’ll be laid back bc it’s in miami!).. I definitely did NOT expect this class to be so intense.

The workout style reminded me of a mat version of megaformer pilates class mixed with barre. Our instructor gave next move cues during each move so there was no transitional lag time and there was lots of repetitive pulsing. It all made sense when we found out the instructor Vinny (highly rec btw) also worked at JetSet Miami (a super intense megaformer class).
-
We mostly used 5 pound weights throughout the class and our ankle weights were on about 80% of the time. There was tons of booty, arms, legs and abs - this was a FULL body burnout.

This studio was an all around amazing vibe and they also also offer barre + trampoline classes. We’d love to try those next time! Miami friends, have you checked out this spot yet? xx #ssssweats

QQ: DO YOU PROTECT YOUR HAIR BEFORE USING HOT TOOLS?

It may seem like a big deal in the moment, but heat protectant is basically like sunscreen for your hair. It’s SO necessary for preventing long term damage.

My go to for this: @NYMBRANDS of c! I use their ‘Youth Revival Leave in Tonic’ (it detangles, adds shine and offers heat protection up to 450 degrees - the highest I’ve seen!) It also smells UNREAL. Even though it’s meant be used on damp hair,I also spray it on dry hair as a quick refresh!  There’s no sulfates, dyes, silicones, parabens, phthalates and it contains 98% naturally derived ingredients. It’s also color safe. YAY. You can find it at @wholefoods. PS Happy Halloween!!🎃 xx #ssssweats #nymIRL

Punch Pedal House

A STUDIO WORTH CROSSING THE BRIDGE FOR: @PUNCHNPEDAL.
 You may have seen us at PUNCH PEDAL before, but if not - this is one of our favorite Dumbo spots for a sweat. They offer two types of workouts within the studio: one is their ‘PUNCH’🥊 class (a mix of boxing, running + strength training) and one is ‘PEDAL’ 🚲 (a 45-min high intensity spin class that incorporates weights & amazing beats). Today we took PEDAL and it was EPIC.  Not only was the workout (and sweat level) super solid, the vibes here are noteworthy. Upon walking in, you immediately feel like family - whether it’s your first time or 100th. It’s a mom & pop spot and you can totally feel their strong sense of community … the owners, Joey & Nada are total dolls. The space is awesome, too - it’s super well done and stocked with amenities (and of c, the good mints!!) - we always shower when we come by.

We highly suggest this spot for both their PUNCH and PEDAL classes - and if you want to check it out, they’re hooking our community up with 50% off any class pack (or single class!) for the month of November using code SWEATS.  Also a major bonus: it’s across the street from Westville. So grab a bestie, hit up @punchnpedal and get yourself a crack salad after.xx #ssssweats
