lucky penny oftentimes catches herself quoting sh*t pilates girls say.

just before her reformer machine class at misfitstudio, they were squealing with excitement. is that a new bra? the answer is yes… and even better, it was on sale for twenty bucks.

the underpinning in question is the most awesome shade of pink… as in neon, duh. just like this lovely item on her wish list: marathon singlet in flash by lululemon.

not only is it lightweight and quick-drying (perfect for a hot yoga sesh or midday run), but also super pretty with dainty eyelets and scalloped trim… and long enough to cover her derrière.

it took about two months of pilates, but she finally learned how to stick out her butt. wheeeeeeeee!

lucky penny keeps the doctor away with an odwalla a day.

mother nature has been terribly moody as of late… summer one day, springtime the next week. to avoid sniffles or an unwanted sore throat, our heroine treats her cells to some superfood every single morning.

imagine apple juice and purées of peach, mango, strawberry and banana. all blended with wheat grass, barley grass, wheat sprouts, and spirulina, too.

grrrrrreen goodness. go!

***psst… also try mango tango and strawberry banana. a serving of fruit in a bottle!

lucky penny highlighted her textbooks in every fluorescent marker imaginable. each page was *also* brilliantly colour-coded in ocd glory.

if she successfully completed the 29-day challenge at misfitstudio, she promised to treat herself… with this neon-bright beauty by the cambridge satchel company at a2zane, which also happens to be right across the street. done and done. our girl even has the tiara to prove it.

the bag comes in a four different sizes… and every colour above the pot of gold. if she orders one online, her initials can be embossed for an extra charge. how cute is that?

***psst… image lovingly borrowed from hanneli mustaparta.

lucky penny is almost settled into her *new* home… boxes are nearly unpacked, and renos are finally over. now onto the fun stuff, like planning her birthday housewarming.

our mall rat was window shopping this afternoon, and her eagle eye saw the most adorable squeeze orange juice glasses at crate & barrel. she could not think of a better way to start every morning than with a daily dose of vitamin c.

hint, hint.

lucky penny did it!!!

she *successfully* completed her 29-day challenge at misfitstudio… 29 classes of yoga, pilates and reformer in 22 days. our girl is hardcore, baby. #killinit

founded by amber joliat, the charming studio is tucked away off an alleyway on queen street west. beautiful interior skylights greet every sun salutation, but the rock n’ roll soundtrack (or a whitney tribute) inspire “panther plank push-ups”.

lucky penny’s favourite classes are fusion, method, punch drunk (as in pilates + boxing = piloxing), reformer jump and restorative yoga… all taught by fellow misfits, lindsay, keri and david. there is even a broga class for cute boyfriend, and baby mamma one for her sister, too.

namaste.
