tread lightly

The Daily Doodle: Back from skiing, but have not yet 'landed.'

1. Top of Telluride 2. and 3. Road trip through Durango to 4. and 5. Powder day at Wolf Creek and 6. Pagosa Hot Springs- What a soak!

gone skiing and worldview

The Daily Doodle: Off to Colorado! See you in two weeks, or if I can get my hands on a computer, maybe a little sooner. Sometimes I draw incessantly on vacation and other-times not at all. 

"Take a good look in the mirror, and consider this: the body you inhabit today is the outgrowth of your worldview and the choices that flow from them. If you want to transform your body, you must change your worldview. Once you summon the courage to question everything around you and begin to see the world with your own unblinking eyes, you will experience a great awakening." –- Natalia Rose, www.detoxtheworld.com

pack your stuff, free your self

The Daily Doodle: Pack in advance, plan party outfits in advance, outline menus in advance, set the table in advance... do everything possible in advance! I give myself three days minimum to start packing. This allows me the opportunity to lay out outfits – accessories and underwear included, edit, re-edit, determine the proper stowage, and make sure the house is spick-and-span before departure. In fact, packing is the perfect occasion to go over your closet with a fine-tooth comb. Try-on what you are taking and everything else! Early-birds also do laundry loads, have piece-of-mind, leave time to aid family members, and are tranquil during travel. Hopefully you have already shopped and wrapped in advance (aka months ago.) Don't forget to pack those packages!

lululemon will keep me warm

The Daily Doodle: Been busy with commissioned work, holiday parties, upcoming travels, living healthy, and, most importantly, keeping up with Lululemon's special editions! Haha. But really, I find Lulu always has the best swag come November/December, so if you are in need of active, or as in my case, semi-active, tops and bottoms that you, or whoever is on the other end of your Holiday list, will practically live in – get thee to a Lululemon. 

free to smoke a tree this holiday

The Daily Doodle: Merry-juana! I may not partake in, but am all for, that which is natural and organic (and keeps us away from pharmaceuticals!)

Cat Eye Sunnies under the tree

The Daily Doodle: Kourtney Kardashian in her cat eye sunglasses. I ruefully dabble in the show for the sake of its forward thinking fashion.

I'm dreaming of a nude Christmas

The Daily Doodle: Such pretty style. I love nude, I adore Nicole's look, I'm into the low pony, silver eyes, barely there lip, peach blush, plethora of rings and bracelets... the whole nine yards. Albeit, not a recent photo, this nude approach always feels fresh and is a wonderful option while playing dress-up this winter! 

To immortalize in doodle form one of your own favorite looks e-mail a photo (or more) to astridparkeryoga@gmail.com

this baywatcher welcomes December

The Daily Doodle: I know it's a day (or two) late, but these photos are from a December 1st walk on the beach, so, Hello December! What is your end-of-year intention?
