Park Show Supporting Local Artists

As a busy mom and yoga teacher/fitness instructor I find I struggle so much with my own personal style. I feel like yoga pnats are my sense of style somedays. EEEk! This weekend I am going to check out the Park Show. It's a local volunteer run organization that supports local entrepreneurs, designers and artisans. 

"PARK is a socially conscious organization that aspires to create opportunities for developing fashion designers and artists to share their work and sustain a profitable business.

We create spaces by hosting annual events that give creative entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their talents."

This weekend they are hosting a show to support these artists and you can get in on the fun! Grab a girlfriend and spend some time having some fun. (My favourite form of self care!)

You can actually shop some of these designers and artisans during the Showroom Market from 12:00 p.m to 5:00 pm which is free to attend!

Then check out the fashion shows happening in the evening!

Fitness Gear Review: House Of Koopslie Bamboo Headband

I will admit that I'm not much of a headband person. Not because I don't like them, but because I get irritated with them moving and always needing adjusting. I always figured I must have an odd shaped head.

Here is a big thing I like about this House Of Koopslie bamboo headband. I put it on my head it doesn't move. I taught an entire one hour, hot yoga class without it moving around. That's um sort of a big deal. Ha ha.

It keeps those crazy baby hairs that sort of grow wings and fly when you're working out tucked away. So instead of looking like Medusa, the baby snakes, err I mean hairs are tamed. 

In a hot yoga room or on a cardio machine we can all agree you are sweating right? Yesterday on the stairmill I had sweat dripping from chin, but was keeping a good portion of it out of my eyes with this headband. The only issue I had was the leather knot was at the back of my head so when I went to lay down for Savasana I had to move it over. Yeah, not really an issue. 

And finally, if not the most important. It's cute as hell. I wear it grocery shopping, teaching or working out. Sometimes with the combination of all three. As a busy mom of two the reality is I normally don't get to shower and get pretty between the gym and grocery shopping. Not when lunch and naps are required before afternoon playdates and activities. It's nice being able to workout/teach and then head out to grocery shop while getting to look sort of put together. The headband adds an extra cuteness to my messy workout bun. Like it's on purpose. 

And of course it's made locally in Edmonton by another busy mama with a fun and great attitude. Who doesn't love to support local business?
