Ah! Holiday Season is quickly approaching. I love it.
I don’t believe in “off-setting” my indulgences or working extra hard to make up for the time I’ll be taking off. Instead, I believe in simply keeping up the good work.
Like — if I work out a few times a week, I try to keep that up, even if it’s just a long walk with loved ones or a morning stretch.
I also think this is a great time to go back to the basics — maybe refresh myself on strength movements or mobility exercises. It feels like the best way to stay in my routine without throwing myself into exhaustion.
Speaking of which.. this weekend we’re hosting an Introduction to Strength class in Boston. I would absolutely be there if I were in the area, and if you’re looking for a grounded, beginner-friendly way to move your body during the holiday season… you should join us.
Chat soon!!

The Hydration Generation: Why Water Bottles Became the New Wellness Badge
There was a time when drinking water was just… drinking water. Now it’s a full ritual with steps, tools, flavors, and personality.
We’re watching hydration become the universal language of micro-wellness:
• Electrolyte powders promising energy, recovery, or glow
• Reusable bottles designed like fashion accessories
• Chlorophyll drops and mineral blends in TikTok routines
• Hydration goals replacing outdated calorie counts
Science is simple: even slight dehydration affects mood, focus, and clarity. So people are treating hydration like a reset button.
A refill is no longer a task — it’s a pause. A moment to breathe. A tiny act of agency in a hyper-stimulating world.
No wonder “drink water” has become the modern version of “take care.”
Hydration has quietly become one of the biggest categories in wellness:
• Functional beverages projected to hit $200B by 2030
• Reusable bottle sales up 120% since 2020
• Hydration brands crossing over into mainstream culture
• Even soda companies pivoting to electrolyte drinks
In our community, hydration shows up everywhere — during walks, meetups, slow mornings, shared routines. It’s wellness without pressure. Togetherness without effort. A simple reminder that you don’t have to run yourself empty to belong.
The next era of wellness isn’t about optimizing every second. It’s about staying hydrated enough — literally and emotionally — to feel like yourself.
The smartest thing you can do today?
A sip, a breath, a pause.
