{Bikram yoga makes me feel like this!! // photo via}

Getting back into the groove was harder than I thought it'd be. It wasn't anyone's fault but my own, and wow did I rebel hard against myself! It really is true, the only person losing out is yourself, but sometimes it is so hard to stay motivated! I've scheduled my 5 bikram yoga classes this week on google calendar + I'm determined to stick to it! I've got a friendly competition going on with Jo over at Pranayama Blogging, so that will definitely help to motivate me! I always love a good challenge. ♥

I love the transition to fall. The air starts to feel crisp and cold. The temperature drops in the evening slightly, allowing for cardigans + jackets, but still allowing a comfortable walk through the park. We savor the last few days of sunlight we receive here in Vancouver... and then we break out the tights!!

Usually I only buy crazy patterned opaque tights, but lately I have been in love with the transparent offering for fall! Maybe it is the fact that some of them have an almost tattoo like quality to them. I love that they make you look twice! There's been a lot of backlash against them, but that comes with anything that is not for the conservative girl. What's your take on this tattoo tight trend? Below is an example from tattoosocks on etsy:



As someone who loves tattoos, but doesn't have any (yet), I think these are a fun way for us non-inked girls to be a bit adventureous! Here are a few of my other adventurous favourites for tights this fall:

I'm one of those people that loves having lists. I like having multiple layers to these lists, and next to each item is a neat little box to tick off when that task is complete. For some reason this simple sense of achievement can mean the difference between me feeling accomplished or just feeling like I'm doing chores. With a list I have a challenge, and that in itself keeps me motivated. In order for me to make these lists, I recently found a nifty program called Todoist.

Not only is it super easy to use (you can make multiple tasks, with specific lists underneath each task if you like too), but it also pops you a clean + simple e-mail with your list for the day, and any expired tasks you may have missed. Now all I have to do in the morning is print out an e-mail while I'm sipping my coffee, and I'm good to go!
