I’ve made versions of this off and on over the years and have found the right combination of ingredients. This ratio of chocolate to peanut butter to crunch is just what you need when you need a sweet treat. These are gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. They take not even 10 minutes to put together, don’t require any baking, and are SO good.

I fell in love with it but was also terrified by everything about it. To be outside, in nature, moving my body in the beauty of snow covered trees was awesome. But also, learning a new skill is hard as an adult! Fast forward to our 3rd ski trip & after a first shaky run I was in it and I finally felt like I had it - kind of like that "remembering how to ride a bike" feeling. I also have to add that the strength I have thanks to pilates has made all the difference. I have incredible core strength, balance, and stability which goes a long way when sliding down slopes on skis, let me tell you! This year we went up to Catamount Mountain Resort which is at the base of the Berkshires for a weekend ski trip and it was great! We stayed The Little Cat Lodge which was literally at the base of the mountain. Keep reading for the details on the ski weekend we loved upstate! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7c734192-9dbd-4d5e-95be-1c8afde06d63/View+recent+photos.png Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain We drove up to Little Cat Lodge in Hillsdale, NY around 7:45 on Friday night - there was no traffic and we were there in just under 2 hours. I had heard how cute this inn was and how convenient it was being right at the base of Catamount. Check in was a breeze as there was a lock box at our room since we got in late. The staff was still around though and after setting our stuff down; the front desk made my son and I a hot water with lemon which hit the spot to help us wind down for bed. Each morning they had a low key breakfast buffet that had something for everything for everyone. There weren’t any espresso drinks available but the hot coffee was good and hit the spot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/085089eb-0c10-4364-9d97-5d6dae04155e/IMG_4515.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain I booked 2 days of lift tickets and ski rentals at Catamount Mountain Resort. We got there shortly after they opened at 8am and it was a breeze to pick up our ski rentals. My husband and I have invested in helmets, goggles and ski boots from SureFoot but have opted to keep renting skis. Obviously for our son we rent everything since he’s still growing and we go 1x a year. We hit the bunny slopes, then made our way up the mountain to various green runs. The mountain was never packed which was great considering we are beginner’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/fd7431a4-c076-4631-98db-d34eb3c0d9dc/IMG_4517.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain After a good 4 hours of skiing, we left for lunch at Roe Jan Brewing. This had elevated “bar food” but also had an open kitchen. They had something for everyone, was very cozy after a morning of skiing and it was very good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1771808293585-8VIRHLH2TE0TPB4YBRIQ/IMG_4527.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1771808345818-VELNQO1W2H5IFM6QHXWW/IMG_4522.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1771810254654-MODS3DWYA2Y3VDQEJ2GP/IMG_4529.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1771810288189-7CYZQHBDOGPBMOKXLU7M/IMG_4537.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4568705b-56bb-4c95-a364-a107a3d9b1e2/IMG_4541.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain We got back to our hotel and all took a little quiet time of reading and relaxing. We then headed to Little Cat Lodge’s restaurant: Edward’s Tavern. We had a cozy table by the fireplace and grabbed a board game from the lobby area to play while we waited for dinner. The menu had something for everyone - the crab cakes were definitely a standout dish. I got the special cod in ratatoullie, my husband the pork schnitzle, and our son steak frites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1771808073360-URO254CSPVWZLG9QPHCF/IMG_4553.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1771808059189-DAZI3T2RX3SYRZF0WNEI/IMG_4550.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1771808065957-W348GXSBKR7YAU7DW662/IMG_4552.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend Skiing at Catamount Mountain https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/february-2026-conscious-covets monthly 0.5 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/02f2a956-f16e-41f0-a76d-cb6ca6d5aa96/february+2026+conscious+covets.JPG Conscious Living - February’s Conscious Covets - Winter is here to stay According to the groundhog so I guess I’m all in on winter right now here in NYC.

This being said, I never really apprecaited it. I have really come to embrace it in the last year between my knee injury and getting a puppy. When I couldn’t run, walking at sunrise is how I still got my endorphin and sunrise fix to start my day off on the right foot (no pun intended!). When I got my dog, I thought it was going to stress me out taking him out for walks. But actually, going out for a quick am, mid day or post dinner walk has been quite the stress reliever.

It’s literally the best way to work out the kinks. It’s also so fun to see what people are up to in pilates studios around the world. We checked out the beautiful studio, Pi Pilates. It’s all glass and you feel like you’re working out in a birdcage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759689187593-89O53E4ELO9EOYGFQXTO/grainger+and+co.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759689195504-D9FTXMZ67PG8H8Y2SU8M/union+ice+cream.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759689327562-CI7DPJ0AVUOGTWKPCYJQ/victoria+and+albert+museum.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759689328236-EZMHUQE9Z0W9QW51NWCN/victoria+and+albert+museum+1.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/95b694cc-784d-4de9-9c29-c3aa76eb39df/dishoom+london.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London We finished off our day at Dishoom in the Battersea Power Station - it’s not a trip to London if you didn’t eat at Dishoom. It was so good, full of flavor and hit the spot after a long day of sightseeing and a red eye the night before. The broccoli salad was a hit and my lamb was perfect. Highly recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610644942-APAO6U46HZ4DSABZX4QL/albert+bridge.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610646384-669EIYOGQ7072UFRBETD/london+peace+pagoda.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e21f3fdc-e122-4b52-89f5-aa0285c883a4/firebird+restuaurant.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London As per a friend’s recommendation, we ate at Firebird. It was so good and I definitely recommend sitting at the chef’s counter so you can watch them prepare all the food on their tiny grill. Very unique flavors, we got the halloumi salad, the roasted sea bass, the kale, and the roasted potatoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610235974-P87F2U1GLL17ZZ6QXR6C/london+portrait+museum.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610237750-KE0EAGTS2J9YSJQNG5J5/london+portrait+museum+1.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e17da478-542f-4246-a23d-4aa856625ef3/birdhouse+coffee.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London We found a super cute coffee shop with delicious coffees and breakfast called Birdhouse in Battersea.

I found Fishoria and it was authentic, delicious and had a gluten free option which I loved! We started with a salad that had a nice briny dressing which was the perfect compliment to the salty entree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4de9b2f5-a9ea-42eb-82e7-bcd3276a04bf/stranger+things.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London We saw “Stranger Things” on Broadway in the West End and it was fantastic! I would have never chosen this show but decided to go for it as per my friend’s recommendation. I’m so glad I went! The production was so fun and good. Highly recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610173600-T4S32M491YSWRC8R9V56/nopi+4.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610161009-BQU3X7INRJP3CR176VRK/nopi+2.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610173061-8FKAJGL63WXPBNBWE43K/nopi+3.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1759610160436-TOSM4EBL93X1UN36HL4N/nopi+1.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in London https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/octobers-conscious-covets-2 monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/05c0e361-63fb-4dd9-bd39-b6f3e0af3557/october%27s+conscious+covets+cover.JPG Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - October is here and I am hoping for some sweater weather soon! I LOVE summer but the change of seasons always feels good. It’s nice to wear layers, read a good book by the fire, eat a cozy meal, etc. Keep reading for what I’m into this month! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/9285b48d-cc04-4f31-98b7-4b8a16dde27b/10%3A6%3A25+concious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This book was SO GOOD! I couldn’t put it down. If you love a good NYC story, mystery and more - this is it! I would love to see this be a movie one day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/c66409d8-ff08-4cf7-bcbf-8a5f19da9a40/9%3A29%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This is what all our fall salads need!

I have super sensitive skin, especially under my arms. I also don’t like using the toxic run of the mill deodorants at the pharmacy. Their smells are terrible and ingredients worse. Enter Nala Care Deodorants. They actually work, have both unscented and scented options and have ingredients you can feel good about. If you’re looking to transition to a natural deodorant but are nervous about it, what worked for me 20+ years ago was alternate every other day your traditional deodorant to your natural, then switch to every 2 days your traditional, then every 3 days, and so on and so forth. Eventually you don’t feel like you need your old school “Secret” deodorant! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/75c63c52-2a0f-488e-8481-e6efcd2b1150/10%3A20%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I hate holding my phone in my hand. It makes my hand hurt but also, makes me use it more than I need. Most importantly, I hate being on my phone in front of my son but also, phones are part of our world now. This allows me to have it close by but also not “in my hand”. This has been so handy and can’t recommend it enough! Ina Seifart’s phone necklaces are so cute and in such happy colors. I think this is going to become my go to gift this holiday season! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b67830cd-b9c4-43de-9253-bd2756785284/10%3A20%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out If you read today’s newsletter, we talk motivation vs. discipline. This article has some great opinion and insight - I loved the message in our world of overbearing opinions in regards to our fitness and wellness. This is a quick but inspiring article and recommend checking it out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/df3f4cb7-f2c1-494a-b733-bcd98635bbe7/10%3A27%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I love Stellar Eats products. They’re so good and are made with 100% great ingredients. These single serve packets are great when you want a sweet treat but don’t want to make a whole batch - they’re especially good for our son! It allows him to “eat the whole thing” which is great for autonomy in the kitchen and when it comes to treats for him. I have been making them in ramekins in the oven I don’t love microwaves personally. I recently made 2 packs worth and put it in 3 ramekins and it was the perfect after dinner sweet treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/59912152-0c15-465e-969a-9931ee20ed4c/10%3A27%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out Creating habits is a key to seeing and feeling long lasting results. When doing some research on this for the last newsletter of the month, I came across this article and felt like it was worth sharing. Take a read and try to apply what they have to say to your own life and see how it goes! It definitely takes a little bit longer to make a habit stick than I thought! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/septembers-conscious-covets-1 monthly 0.5 2025-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3d91f598-3f58-43ca-ae8a-4cc26fdec2f4/septembers+concsious+covets+cover.jpg Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - August flew by even faster than July did… And now here we are in September! This month I’m sharing my new favorite recipe plus a number of books I read in the last month. We’re all busy at this time of year getting ready for “back to school” even if we don’t have kids or school going on so I’ll keep this intro short. Keep reading for some quick inspiration to get you through this month! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/acb2d339-fca4-460d-95aa-6c053004ce38/9%3A1%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I am obsessed with this chicken recipe! It is so good and so easy. You marinated it quickly in the morning and at night you simply roast the chicken in the oven. Pair it with roasted veggies, rice and a quick tahini sauce and you’re good to go. Highly recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6589eeb8-27e0-4e6f-8394-dae47135baaf/9%3A1%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out If you need an easy escape read, this is it! It’s satire at it’s best but also representative of NYC school and motherhood culture. It’s a page turner once you get going and perfect for winding the day down. You’ll be done in less than a week! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/05386503-55da-477c-a476-baa8f6422616/9%3A8%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I love Stellar Eats products. They are convenient, delicious and full of good for your ingredients that make food that actually tastes good! Pizza is one of my favorite foods and this dough is great. I make 2 small pizzas in my cast iron skillets and they come out with the most perfect crunchy crust with all the toppings. Stay tuned for an easy recipe on how I top them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5f289f06-82c5-4783-a096-33df02fda922/9%3A8%3A25+conscious+covet+2.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I’ve always “made do” with my containers I would use to bring my lunch to work. And then this summer I decided it was time to upgrade what I had to make things easier for me. I purchased 2 different kinds of containers for my work lunches, this S’well bowl being one of them and it’s great! It’s well worth the investment and having this at home sets you up for success with your meal planning. They have all kinds of fun colors which will make pulling your lunch out that much more happy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/08a22c4c-bcf4-4a33-af79-46ea5a41e24d/9%3A15%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This book was SO good! It takes a minute to get into it and then you won’t be able to stop. It’s as powerful story on love, loss, lust and more. Highly recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3afc40e4-5b72-46d7-ae23-4fed40254da0/9%3A22%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I always have a bag of frozen wild shrimp in my freezer. This way in a pinch, I have protein to make for dinner. I was needing to mix things up in our dinner rotation and had a craving for a stir fry of some kind. I had shrimp and broccoli in my fridge, did a little search and came across this one! I swapped out corn starch with arrowroot flour as it’s a better option. I will definitely be keeping this in the rotation for the future! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ac98a90f-219b-4df1-9b44-be6c01396dc3/9%3A22%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I’m not much of a snacker but now that we are back to school and my son has lots of afterschool activities, I am needing a snack of my own to hold me over until dinner. I love a fresh veggie, etc. but having something that’s fast and easy to grab/keep in my bag is definitely helpful. These are so good and definitely check the box for effective snacks that all my bCheck it out!oxes - high in protein, fiber, and flavor! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/augusts-conscious-covets-2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e787048f-50ac-497f-8c17-3d1b32fea3ee/xirena+skylight+dress.JPG Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - August has started out absolutely beautiful here on the east end… August always feels like a month of abundance. From the produce to the long summer days. It can feel so full but also tiring working to enjoy it all. I bought this dress for the hot days/cool nights that come around in August and it’s amazingly comfortable but also cute. Keep reading for all I’m loving this month! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/2af52d18-5272-4ec5-b764-cd201a8f9386/8%3A4%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I had the pleasure of meeting Zarna Garg 2 months ago. Aside from the fact that she is SO FUNNY she is also wildly inspiring. This book will floor you, make you laugh, and have even more respect for Zarna. You will love it and won’t be able to put it down!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ca3ad71a-db44-47d6-adb6-ec926d227e69/8%3A4%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I bought these mats for all my classes and events this summer. They are fantastic! They feel great, let you move well with the no skid material and give your body the cushion it needs to move without pain. I HIGHLY recommend investing in one - the link below will give you $10 off! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/c2faed5b-4f4f-4aef-a4f5-e30b10ce661e/8%3A11%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This show was so juicy! Murder mystery, family drama, gorgeous setting, and more. It was an easy watch and I definitely recommend.

They are perfect to use to dip into my salmon or tuna salads. Pair these with some chopped veggies plus a salad of your choice and you have the perfect meal full of protein, fiber, crunch, carbs, and more! That combo has been in heavy rotation for me this summer. Order them in bulk so you have them on hand for when you need a crunch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/665ca9d5-c10a-42d8-a3a2-912e48ae18dd/8%3A18%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I bought this for my East Hampton Outpost as a way to lightly scent the room between clients. It’s a no fuss no mess wall plug in diffuser using only essential oils! I chose the citrus for the energizing properties they have. I will be buying this for the city when I’m back as I love how easy it is! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7c342af6-9e54-493f-b9f2-71eb6eeb3256/8%3A18%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I am obsessed with this dress. I’ve worn it probably 10 times since I bought it. It’s so comfortable but also chic with a sandal. You could wear it as a beach/pool cover up too if you were going to do lunch/dinner out before or after! I love the light blue but there’s tons of color options! It’s timeless so will last for seasons which is always a plus for me. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/spiced-pecorinoromanoroasted-carrots monthly 0.5 2025-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a25eb020-155c-4144-959e-9415d326b086/spiced+parmesan+carrots.JPG Conscious Living - Spiced Pecorino Romano Roasted Carrots - I look forward to young carrots every summer… Carrots aren’t really my thing. I don’t think they taste great except for these! These skinny carrots or “young carrots” are so sweet and full of a unique flavor. Roasting them in spices and pecorino romano cheese gives them the perfect salty crunch that pairs perfectly with the soft roasted carrot. These take no time and you will be making them again and again I promise.

I love a muffin. It’s the perfect antidote to eggs in my opinion. These aren’t too sweet so you also don’t feel like you’re starting your day with a sugar bomb.

I always feel like my kitchen towels can use a facelift so these are a great choice in my humble opinion! Add in a cute design and bam you’ve got yourself a useful and thoughtful gift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1751247351077-NLDNSM1HHDR2IYVXMHBH/hostess+gift+guide+red+onion+square.png Conscious Living - Summer Wellness Hostess Gift Guide - Homemade Pickled Red Onions I LOVE pickled red onions and put them on everything. These are so easy and good and make a great homemade gift. Repurpose a jar that you’ve taken the label off or go for a Weck Jar which looks great and keeps things fresh for a long time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1751247217910-3KNUI9OCIS2GMDM0XDRC/for+bitter+for+worse+hostess+guide+square.png Conscious Living - Summer Wellness Hostess Gift Guide - For Bitter For Worse Mocktails I LOVE these drinks. They taste by far the best of all the NA drinks out there in my opinion and have great ingredients. You can order cans OR buy their beautiful bottles in specialty stores. I always keep these on hand for an easy gift or evening “drink”. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/summer-in-a-bowl-salad monthly 0.5 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a5c1acbb-dbee-4715-bc4d-454a531dcc15/summer+in+a+bowl+salad.jpg Conscious Living - Summer in a Bowl Salad - Summer produce is here! Eating seasonally is such a great way to mix things up, keep food interesting, and get new nutrients into your body. Summer is the best because of all the fruits - I LOVE a fruit in a salad (I’m not much of a fruit eater otherwise) so this is how I get them in. If you grow basil in the summer, you’re in luck because I throw it into the dressing for a real kick of flavor. Keep reading for the how to on this one. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/junes-conscious-covets-1 monthly 0.5 2025-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3a521609-02d1-4da8-916a-c422d21deaf7/june%27s+conscious+covets+cover+.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - June is here and that means summer is officially about to start! Sharing all that I am getting into this month and ready for summer. I am very much hoping that it will actually start to feel warm here soon. We kicked off June rolling in with an incredible trip the the Longhouse Reserve in East Hampton. It’s an outdoor garden and museum and was the perfect immersion in nature we needed. See to the right for one of my favorite installations! Keep reading for the inspo you might just need as we move into June! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/9b28d090-7512-4dfd-bdf5-c70569c7a572/6%3A2%3A25+june%27s+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I have been LOVING this book. It’s so easy to read and is an interesting insight to Iran in the 50’s and 60’s. It’s a great end of day book because it’s equally light as it is full of story. Perfect for a summer beach read! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/774c81b1-7f52-469c-9a59-a3c7e641cdda/6%3A2%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I have to give my husband credit for these. He found a few pairs of these when we were in Austin, Tx and I immediately stole a pair from him. Aside from the fact that they are light and good looking they are priced right! I have lost sunglasses, broken them, etc. - all of which were expensive and I’m sick of that. Enter, Izipizi - definitely recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/12abe68a-4c03-4f50-b0a1-62d7c9f455e3/6%3A9%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This month’s focus is staying consistent. But you might need some motivation to get started or perhaps a mindset shift. This interview that Mel Robbins did with Dr. Alok Kanojia, MD is very interesting in how he “reframes” how you look at your goals so you can actually achieve them. It’s a great and interesting listen! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/594a181a-5971-4217-98c9-47c9f10b9588/6%3A9%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I love Lack of Color Hats! They are chic, functional, and priced well. I have many of them and have replaced my straw hat every two years or so - always with this same hat! It has a chin strap so it stays put when it’s windy on the beach. It comes in a fwe colors but love this shade typically! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f5f0e345-337e-43dd-8a34-a854a9416786/6%3A16%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This is a “binaural beats” for focus playlist via spotify that I have been listening to and having my son listen to. It’s deeply relaxing and focusing and I have really been enjoying it. I’m sure you can make your own but since I am just venturing into the binaural beats scene, I started with this! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5e120d5c-77e5-4819-8139-36cd43c96794/6%3A16%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I know I know, Dr. Huberman is rather polarizing. But he does cover good content. This caught my eye a few weeks ago and I decided to give it a listen. I found it very interesting and when I did my own research after the fact it all added up for me. This is a short but sweet podcast focusing just on balance, learning and focus. I have been using binaural beats (referenced above) since listening to this and I do think they work! Definitely worth a listen imo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f5429590-316d-4887-a767-f7cd41edf2bc/6%3A23%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I left my copy of the Lion Women in Montauk so I decided to start something new while I waited to get back out there. I’ve heard a lot of buzz about this book and it was so easy to read. It was equally light as it was real. It’s a perfect summer read if you’re looking for something while you’re laying on the beach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/343d0546-a73a-4cac-85b3-3efae43abf48/6%3A23%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I bought this sunscreen when in Paris last November and it is SO good. It’s so light, you don’t even know you’re wearing it. I use this first and then wear a different tinted sunscreen over it. I love the protection from the sun and the coverage. I invest in my skin so wearing a sunscreen like this is an important part of maintaining the results. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/southwestern-bbq-chicken-salad monthly 0.5 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/c5a9819d-5576-45c8-a2d5-74bc730981e2/southwestern+bbq+chicken+salad.JPG Conscious Living - Southwestern BBQ Chicken Salad - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/buffalo-chicken-salad monthly 0.5 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e19fd46b-dd38-4bba-88e9-470ee31a85ee/buffalo+chicken+salad.JPG Conscious Living - Buffalo Chicken Salad - I am OBSESSED with this salad! I eat a salad for lunch most days. Not because “its healthy” but because its’s an easy way to get lots of nutrients, use what’s in my fridge and generally doesn’t take much time to put together. Enter the Buffalo Chicken Salad….It’s so good and so easy. Make things simple and buy a few of the ingredients already chopped. I batch chicken every week so this plus the ingredients on hand are easy throw together in the morning. It in total takes not even 10 minutes and is full of flavor. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/mays-conscious-covets-1 monthly 0.5 2025-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/be6e54e9-84d1-4cfd-8ac5-75d6d2b753d8/may+2025+conscious+covets+cover.jpg Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - May is Women’s Health Month I’m so excited for this month’s focus! We will be looking at things that make us live and feel better, healthier lives all month long on this covet's list. Inspiring women to take the best care of themselves is something I have been passionate about for years so this one is especially for you! Keep reading for all I got into below! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/0ffce7b7-3b24-47ad-95bf-322895042859/5%3A5%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I have had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Suzanne Fenske a few times and now she’s my Doctor. She’s an expert in women’s health for those of us over 40. She’s also the big sister you want when you’re in the Dr’s office talking to her about your health. She’s double board certified in Western and Functional Medicine. Here she speaks with Gwenyth Paltrow (who also happens to be her patient) about all things menopause. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/8c1cd72a-3f95-4130-94ac-357c5f45fcad/5%3A5%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I’ve slowly been swapping out clothes that have PFAS and are made with synthetic materials especially in my undergarments. I found these underwear by Pact. They’re made with organic cotton, free from junk materials AND they fit/feel GREAT! Highly recommend swapping things out as needed because this is an investment that’s definitely worth it especially when toxic PFAS could be near our reproductive organs, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7da00a72-9fe3-4fe4-a20d-0cb6b0b3d059/5%3A12%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I am so into these! They are the perfect thing when you need a little crunch in your lunch (or snack!). I have been packing them for a quick and easy lunch with sliced turkey, cheese, avocado slices plus as simple greens salad on the side. Or, whip up my tuna or salmon salad alongside sliced peppers/cucumbers or some arugula. These are high protein, easy to make lunches that travel well - perfect if you’re on the go. They are loaded with good for you seeds, fiber and protein - no gluten or junk ingredients. Highly recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/809578d1-8458-4a66-9fe9-0bf2e1c58e03/5%3A12%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out Holy moly are these good! I mean, so good! They are individually wrapped bite sized chocolates that have a unique flavor. There are 3 different flavors you can try, this is the only one I have gotten my hands on yet. Right now, you can only buy them in person at Whole Foods, Kroger or your local store (they have a store locator here!). If you live on the UES here in NYC, I got them at Matter of Health on 72/1. I hope you LOVE them as much as I do :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/55a7be27-74c4-41cf-82ff-6e2372e24a36/5%3A19%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I am loving these sandals for the summer! They are super cute, slightly elevated in look and very comfortable. I walked miles in them the other day while out for lunch with a friend and my feet were just fine at the end of the day! You can dress them up or down depending on what you pair them with so you can really make them go the extra mile. They aren’t cheap but they won’t break the bank either - I snagged a first time buyer discount when I signed up for their mailing list. What I love most about them is they aren’t trendy so they won’t feel out of season next summer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7568a456-b08a-4765-b056-edc23c3f1e1c/5%3A26%3A25+conscious+coverts+1.png Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This book was a bit slow to start but I could tell it would get good. It quickly caught my attention and took me to another time in history. It can be a bit hard to read as it’s about rape, inequality, etc but was very good and I would recommend. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/exploring-health-and-wellness-in-austin-texas monthly 0.5 2025-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a2be09fb-888c-4415-9083-9afb68b484c6/cowboy+boots.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas - I spent the last week in Austin, Texas to see family, friends and explore during my son’s spring break. I’ve not really spent time in Texas and I’ve heard so many good things about the city so I was excited. It’s definitely a hub when it comes to health, wellness, technology, vibes and more. I often give a breakdown of how I spent my travels but this one was very family centric so instead I am highlighting all of the health and wellness related stuff I got into as a guide if you’re looking for recommendations during your next trip to Austin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1745198849113-9AAHK24VXBOY4C7T7SH4/lincoln+playing+at+colton+house.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1745198861043-IUX22HXN4MUKXJ6HFZ2O/colton+house+hotel.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1745198876802-8WHHSSCU21ME4KEFMQPD/colton+house+room.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1744744347638-FAII4IGHKBYC2CGCDRAX/vinnaigrette+salad.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1744744396358-499HLJXWXIUOF6FOXZDT/loros+bbq.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1744744422884-E7RVAYXJFEM1ILDHFAMM/fresa%27s+cesear+salad.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1745090121526-8FFRFIOPCJRQ84H8EWAS/leroy+and+lewis.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1745198560977-3JE1JS1N5YW184X1VIDS/am+radio.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1745198569056-HEISEQGZEDQYLE47X7D6/colton+house+gym.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1745198808507-E8XIIYLSE1NO3Y6CW5MW/lady+bird+lake.JPG Conscious Living - Exploring Health and Wellness in Austin, Texas https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/how-i-fit-in-recovery-workouts monthly 0.5 2025-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/821487e2-6c7e-4066-a543-0674f2b2fafc/cold+plunge.jpg Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Recovery work can go a long way… Honing in on recovery has been a game changer for me. There are so many options now it’s fun to spend the time checking it all out. I LOVE a cold plunge - but I get it when you’re like OMG no. It takes time and breath work to be able to sustain it. At the same time, warmth is actually the MOST healing thing you can do for your body. The ice bath is great but if it’s not for you don’t worry, go the warm route. There are actually studies about how women don’t need it to be as cold and how they respond better to heat. When you’re done reading all that I’ve shared below, take a listen to this podcast with Mel Robbins who interviews Dr. Stacy Sims (an expert on all things women’s health) here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743455896479-8AICTUQUACP1R65ZQMO7/Red+light+compression+boots+blog+image.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Jet Boots PRO Plus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743456019557-HJKGA6Z23TB3GGNQKXKG/therabody+mini+massager+blog+photo.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Theragun Mini https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743456081377-DHT4C1EA5A5F5IVEWPXH/toe+separators+shop+template.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Toe Separators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743456143294-4HLZTYYIG3T5ITHBBC1H/higher+dose+shop+template.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Sauna Blanket https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743456385215-CSQ4VFL0Y4INOPNVXSID/melt+method+ball+kit+blog+photo.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - MELT Foot and Hand Therapy Ball Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743456500118-5143G0MUX5UNZUG4EMHO/pso+rite+blog+photo.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - PSO Rite https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743456617431-OZOD4LQ4K0I4UQQABUHN/trigger+point+foam+roller+blog+photo.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Trigger Point Foam Foller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743857331306-01ZDJOOVA70NN7PHHCVR/lacrosse+balls+shop+image.png Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Lacrosse Balls https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743542715143-0RRQQPJO3UH1OY2M0IDW/sauna+in+windham.JPG Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Sauna https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743542725163-881ZQ84ACR8AMQJVP721/body+roller+photo.JPG Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Body Roller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743542966072-OHXA6UCQRWW81Q39IJ0W/updated+bath+photo.JPG Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Epsom Salt Baths https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1743542971462-PXFQXBVB7OJ4NVN13K4H/updated+red+light+photo.jpg Conscious Living - How and Why You Should Fit in Recovery Workouts + Other Healing Modalities - Red Light Therapy https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/aprils-conscious-covets-1 monthly 0.5 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/116ceb1b-db43-4af6-914c-03f4ebbbfac8/april%27s+conscious+covets+cover.JPG Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - April is a LONG month and I am so happy about this….

I love even more keeping it hot when I’m off to my son’s baseball games, etc. This super cute little Yeti fits perfect in my car cupholder and is small enough to throw it in my bag when I’m done and out and about. Not to mention the happy color. If you’re a make coffee at home person, you need this for when you’re on the go! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/85c3009b-826e-4782-b7ea-2aa1817e5b24/4%3A14%3A25+consicous+covets+3.png Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out A client and author referred me this book and I am loving it! It’s about ballet dancers so really touches on my background. It’s an easy read that really takes you to a new place. Definitely recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/effabf38-de49-49d1-a012-b697c11c98cf/4%3A21%3A25+conscious+covets+4.png Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I have been wearing Deborah Lippmann nail polish for over a decade. They’re low tox, last long, and she has the best colors. I’ve been into this read which is called “It’s Raining Men” as I think it’s the perfect “spring into summer” color. If you live in NYC I love getting my nails done at PH7 but I often buy my own colors as it’s a little more sanitary in my opinion and a great way to touch up your nails and make your manicure last longer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e84a6e9f-ae25-4060-b25d-a387c4540def/4%3A21%3A25+conscious+covets+3.png Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out To get ready for Austin I started listening to some country music and really got in Morgan Wallen. It’s catchy, a little pop and a little country. If you’re looking to mix up your playlist, I recommend checking him out if you’re not into him already! Definitely likely I am late to the party on this one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f30425c2-7383-45a9-916f-377e6f5226e9/4%3A21%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I am OBSESSED with these jeans. They’re so comfortable and flattering. I have worn them like 5x since I bought them and am contemplating buying them in more colors. I don’t enjoy wearing tight clothes outside of work since I wear leggings so much so these are the perfect antidote to workout clothes.

I’ve been making these for years and have tried different iterations of them. These are the perfect go to when you want something delicious and cozy but also healthy. My son loves them and we typically don’t have leftovers! I like to pair these with a roasted chicken and greens. These aren’t hard to make and if you’re doing them during the week and are tight on time, you can boil the potatoes in the morning so when it’s time to make dinner all you have to do is pop them in the oven.

After a very cold February in NYC it is March and you can feel that Spring is just around the corner. To kick off the month I got outside and went for a gorgeous weighted walk with ALL of my Omorpho weighted gear on - my pants, tank, long sleeve, and vest. It is a total of 10lbs! It’s a great way to get a little extra work in while going for a walk on a beautiful day, it adds up fast I’m telling you! This gear is an investment but as someone who has been wearing some of it for 2.5 years, it lasts and is worth it I promise!

Her products are amazing and I love this new lip color as it changes for each person who wears it leaving a subtle stain that lasts for hours. It’s a non makeup makeup look. RMS was at the beginning of cleaning up our beauty products and I can’t recommend this enough! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6320d851-de3e-42bd-845c-1efe64001654/3%3A3%3A25+concious+covet+2.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out My favorite part of my job is getting recommendations from clients and this is one of them!

It’s on Max so if you’re like me and have subscribed for the sole purpose of The White Lotus, then you’ll get more out of your membership with this one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5ff75b27-4933-4720-af6c-91f827500764/3%3A10%3A25+consicous+covets+1.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I stumbled across this brand while shopping at one of my favorite health food stores in the Hamptons. They make easy and delicious mixes of baked goods, pizza doughs, etc. I have tried many of them now and would recommend! Nice to have on hand when you’re in the mood to bake but don’t want to put in much effort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f7b26696-5585-48ab-adfb-382d290171d0/3%3A10%3A25+conscious+covets+3.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Kalaichandran and listening to her speak at a private dinner a few months ago. In this book she shares her journey of healing herself while also being a practicing MD. If you’ve ever felt like you’re on a wild goose chase with your own health, this book will make you feel seen and heard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f6e461d5-4fe1-4918-b1c4-c9ce8ccb3678/3%3A17%3A25+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out After years of fancy, expensive fashion sneakers, I have finally had to come to terms with a more sensible sneaker. Income, New Balance sneakers. These are so ugly they’re cool and are a great neutral color to go with all kinds of things. Not to mention, my feet and knees are feeling better in them! Highly recommend if you’re in a similar situation! Not to mention, they’re much cheaper than my fancy old ones! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/19fc122c-899c-45e1-b83a-0d810298ebbf/3%3A17%3A25+conscious+covets+3.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out Adding in rebounding to my workouts has been my first step into jumping/higher impact work since incurring my knee injury. This is a GREAT low impact way of jumping. There are SO many benefits of this kind of exercise! Detoxing/flushing your lymph system, building bone density, working your cardiovascular system, makes you engage your core, improves your circulation, releases endorphins and is so fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e37c7d16-38f1-4964-80b4-7b047ca32ca3/3%3A24%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This recipe is SO easy and so good. I love that it incorporates cabbage as cabbage is an under eaten veggie in my opinion that is packed with good for you nutrients. Buy it pre washed and chopped and this meal is literally made in less than 15 minutes. Perfect for a quick week night meal. I’ve used this blog a lot for inspiration and recommend you do too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/41cd29d9-6ce1-4933-832c-308aad876b0f/3%3A24%3A25+consciuos+covets+1.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I can’t do tote bags anymore unfortunately. They kill my upper back and make it ache/spasm. I have been on the hunt for a good looking backpack that is functional yet chic. This nylon YSL backpack was a total splurge but totally fits the bill. I can be a mom and pilates instructor but also not look like a college kid. If this is you, I’d start here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f46f20fc-6a3f-4870-a096-4e9abb256c22/3%3A31%3A25+conscious+covets+8.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I am always looking for clothes to teach in that aren’t tight but also look good. I founds these toile pants and they’re so cute! They are comfy, have a unique fit and are great for wearing from the studio to the street. I paired them with a navy ribbed long sleeve and it’s the perfect spring uniform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/21b6fd98-5505-4031-817d-ff01fa1bfb44/3%3A31%3A25+concious+covets+7.png Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out While recovering from my knee injury I’ve gotten really into weighted walks with all of my Omorpho gear.

It was beautiful, barely 2.5 hours away and just what we needed for a little winter adventure. I only learned to ski last winter but fell in love with it and everything that comes along for the ride when you’re on a ski vacation. I also know very little about upstate New York and am still learning the ropes on ski trip life so I put together a guide based on our trip for those who are interested to book their own adventure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/07cabd1b-361f-4ce7-aba8-b50cea3a16b6/catskills+ski+gear.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills Last year when we went to Breckenridge I invested in great ski gear to stay warm and look cute at the same time. I love Half Days because it’s super comfortable and makes me look the part while I am learning. I also invested in a cute belt bag which is probably one of the best things I’ve ever bought to be honest. It carries the essentials, looks great, and keeps me hands free. Aside from my phone and wallet, my #1 essential is this hand/lip balm from Waxlene as it keeps me moisturized and not drying out from the cold air. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1740339447778-XZMDDR0YE78GK6VJN9I5/catskills+wylder+hotel+5.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1740339429008-GZL3P9R925V4XQM6BS8X/catskills+wylder+hotel+4.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1740339371388-95PEPQSNOC270412H79Y/catskills+wylder+hotel+2.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1740339431350-UU5YAYVH26LAZBD88S27/catskills+wylder+hotel+3.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1740339372200-VUR7VHEVA2BU62EMQ0PM/catskills+wylder+hotel.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ff4c3605-862e-4fa2-b92d-9d51fbdf57b2/catskills+wylder+smores.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills The Wylde was super cute and very family friendly yet also had a very cool low key vibe. Not to mention had a great nightly rate. They have a main house where reception is, the restaurant/bakery, a cozy lobby with a fireplace and hot toddy station. There are a number of big “houses” on the property which is where all the rooms are. We were across the street which was easy enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/98050885-6aa4-4e5a-bff7-b92ebbf3157d/catskills+babblers+breakfast.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills Friday morning we got up early and had breakfast/coffee at the hotel Bakery. They had lots of pastries plus eggs and gluten free options. I opted for coffee out of a mug because it tastes better and paper cups are lined with BPA/are bad for the environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/8ff8b7f7-5d1b-4e4f-aff8-d49dc7989d0b/catskills+ross+and+ashley.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills For our first day skiing on Friday we put Lincoln in ski school all day from 9-3. I took a 2 hour lesson and finished the morning off skiing by myself for a bit. While I worked on the green runs, my husband skied solo on more challenging runs. We then met up, checked out the dining options and had lunch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/188527ba-67b6-4881-96d8-dec5ec3561cb/catskills+ski+lodge+salad.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills Because Windham Mountain is partially private, certain restaurants are not available. We ate at Seasons, the Lebanese style restaurant upstairs in the lodge. I had a salad with chicken shawarma and it hit the spot perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/be03361b-d303-4b04-87e6-a893f0e26bd4/catskills+coffee+shop+2.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills After skiing we stopped by Clutch and Throttle for coffee and a snack for Lincoln. It was so cute and the coffee was so good. They also had markers and coloring books for us to take a break and recharge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/2cdb4cb0-ead9-4acd-bce3-08809445d516/catskills+windham+book+store.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills We finished the night off playing games in the hotel’s game room then hit up a local book shop, Briar’s and Brambles. We then met up with friends from Lincoln’s school and ate at Union and Post which was very good and super family friendly as they had a little play area for the kids to burn off some steam during dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/9a6e51a8-de39-4c85-801f-184c67260f71/catskills+family+ski.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills Saturday we started the same with breakfast/coffee at Babbler’s at the hotel. We skipped the lessons and skied as a family in the morning, had lunch again at Season’s and finished off the day with a few more green runs. It was getting icy so we decided to call it a day. We then hit up Clutch and Throttle for another afternoon coffee break. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/d86d17eb-03c3-4180-a9cf-c0cb98e02ce3/catskills+wylde+hotel+6.jpg Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills We headed back to the hotel for a little r&r before dinner. Lincoln and I hit up the game room while my husband rested. My favorite part about ski vacations is that for now the last two times we have gone our son watched no TV. We don’t do screens like ipads, video games, etc. and because a ski trip is so active there’s little downtime and when you are finished, you’re so tired you go to bed early and start over the next day. The Wylde Hotel did have a downstairs game room with every billiard you could imagine plus Pac-Man which was super fun and gave our son a little fix without sitting down to watch TV. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7043731d-c463-43e4-9189-7d9e4aa8a219/catskills+sauna+1.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills I then hit up the barrel sauna (you reserve yourself a private spot) to warm up and sweat it all out. We then freshened up and shopped around Windham while we waited for our table at Millrock to be ready. The one thing I WISH we could have done would have been able to see the Magic Show, it was sold out unfortunately but I heard it was very good! If you’re heading up, I recommend you book ticket. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5f158559-96bb-415e-81d8-e71aec38efa0/catskills+windham+walk+2.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills Sunday we had a slow morning but eventually made it for coffee and breakfast at the hotel one more time. We then went for a rather icy walk on the 1.5 mile trail, “Windham Path”. It was fun and a great way to get some fresh air and move the soreness out of our bodies from skiing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5bca3e7b-4aa0-4052-9a9c-bb98c4d7f726/catskills+tubing+1.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills Our last big activity was the Windham Mountain Tubing Park (be sure to book in advance) where there were multiple runs happening at once plus a magic carpet to bring us up to the top of the hill. I think we did at least 15 rides and it was SO fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/66ef22ff-6864-4abe-b264-e8dcbdf1c533/catskills+chicken+run.JPG Conscious Living - 3 Days at Windham Mountain in the Catskills We finished off our trip upstate with lunch at The Chicken Run which was a very low key yet delicious lunch spot.

January can often begin with high hopes and then life gets to life-ing. I finished off my January with these gorgeous Italian Ranuculus. They are one of my favorite flowers and my local florist whom I love always gets them at this time of year and they’re just what you need during the dreary days of winter. Flowers for yourself always make things feel better!

They are PFAS free and made from recycled materials. This sweat set is SO cozy and fits great. And their colors are spot on. I love a cozy yet cute sweat set that doesn’t look like you’re wearing pajamas. You can still style it so you look put together yet cozy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/db3eeecf-ccb0-4449-855e-33c3253763fa/2%3A3%3A25+conscious+covets+book.png Conscious Living - February’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I’m about 125 pages into this book and I am enjoying it!

This combo is truly a life saver! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/81e6f332-3258-4c12-b15f-edfb93935e2b/2%3A10%3A25+conscoious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - February’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out Put this on after the oil and your body is good to go. I love how fast it dries without actually being “drying” due to alcohols in the formula. I’ve been using Osea products for years now and truly love them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/07c30799-6323-44f4-98dd-d22f8c4009c1/2%3A17%3A25+conscious+covet+1.png Conscious Living - February’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I got a HORRIBLE stye in my eye a few months ago. It took a few months to go away and eventually became so big that I panic ran to the doctor worried I had eye cancer. I am guessing it is from the oil based eye make up remover I have been using these last few months (and loved). But, it is not worth it nor do I love it anymore now that I had that happen. Enter this lovely micellar water that has no fragrance and is light/gentle on my eyes yet easily removes my eye makeup. A dear friend got me this after my eye episode and I love it! Eye makeup can collect under your eyes and cause buildup/make you look like you have dark under eye circles when you actually don’t, it’s just old eye make up (yuck). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b310507f-2dc2-483c-a279-5beb9835c9e4/2%3A17%3A25+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - February’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I have actually be listening to this book on Spotify (if you’re a premium member, you get free audio books). While I know/understand a lot about the basics of longevity, this book is eye opening and truly a great resource. I think everyone should be required to read it. While yes it has LOTS of medical jargon in it (thus the reason I am listening to it, it’s just easier to digest) it truly outlines/highlights the importance the 5 pillars of health that I talk about all the time. This one is worth it! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/januarys-conscious-covets-1 monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/58a2babe-52b5-4941-b8b1-53dad1578fee/january%27s+conscious+covets.JPG Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - January and cold weather are here And I’m all about staying warm and hydrated. I bought this pink hat in Paris and love how fun the color is now that we’re moving into grey January, not to mention it is also warm!

Add in the cold NYC air and my skin definitely needs some extra love. This mask feels so good and really softens my face. I do it at night so it can stay on for a while, I then rinse it off and layer on a great night time moisturizer and I wake up with skin that feels softer and more nourished. A little goes a long way and I’d say that this jar is the perfect amount to get you through the winter months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a446428f-53cc-44c1-ae0e-6468c7a51817/1%3A6+conscious+covets+template.png Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I’ve only been taking this a few days now but wow have I felt a difference in my sleep. Magnesium is a mineral most people are deficient in. There are different types of magnesium with different effects. This one in particular helps your body recover and restore for the next day. I mix it with a few ounces of water before bed, swish it down and hit the pillow. Definitely worth checking out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/25f32420-2035-4fa8-8f53-ac037d466e1d/1%3A13+january+conscious+covets+1.png Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This deck is great if you know you need to do more breathing to help calm your system but also don’t know where to start. My friend Biet put this together and it’s great for “breathers” of any experience! There is something for everyone and every feeling. I keep this by my bedside for breath work before bed and I could see it being a beautiful gift for someone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/526437d0-6117-4c4d-9e73-436076d20d13/1%3A20%3A25+conscious+covet+4.png Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I started this Friday night and am almost done and cannot stop reading it. Wow, what a story. It’s a heartbreaking memoir of addiction with incredible insight.

I watched this while lying in bed sick last week and it really makes you think twice about hating on yourself for aging. Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quade are so good too! Highly recommend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/c47eba74-d57b-4d36-a9e0-4578429ac4f2/1%3A20%3A25+conscious+covets+3.png Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out If you love spray avocado oil for cooking and have been buying it at the store then THIS for you! I love this device - you simply pour in the avocado oil and it turns into a spray - without aeration. Not only do you save money by not buying more spray bottles full of avocado oil but you also save the environment with less disposable stuff going into our landfills.

It’s not been fun to be on antibiotics. I threw these together a few weekends ago when I was on an immunity boosting kick in the kitchen. How we care for ourselves can make a big difference in if/how bad we get sick. These are great to keep in the freezer for anytime to throw in your tea - I love them in a ginger tea to really up the ginger flavor. They take about 5 minutes to make, pop them in the freezer and they are good to go.

When I wake up tired and puffy this is my go to so I can shake it off and look refreshed for the day. I leave it in my freezer and when I take it out roll it on my forearm 10x to warm it up just a touch and then go all out all over my face, especially around my eyes.

I put it on my hands, feet, and lips every night before bed. It’s especially effective in the winter time to prevent chapped hands. It absorbs quickly with out the use of “drying” alcohols. I also used this on Lincoln’s bottom when he was as baby. It’s truly an mulitpurpose balm and I can’t recommend it enough! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/aa6affce-c083-402d-9503-11d5bd41c137/12%3A16+conscious+covets+email+template.png Conscious Living - December’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out Grab a box of tissues before you watch this one. If you need some inspiration, this is your documentary. It’s an interesting story of Christopher Reeve’s life but also how he turned his tragedy into purpose. We “rented” it through Google if it’s not streaming on a channel you get. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/744e6c80-58fd-4087-9eb2-2a6e0cda1143/12%3A23+conscious+covets+1+email+template.png Conscious Living - December’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This is one of my new favorite recipes - I’ve made it once a week for a few weeks now. This is great because it takes one sheet, takes about 10 minutes to prep and has ingredients you can keep in your fridge for an easy week night meal. If you don’t, I highly suggest that you subscribe to the NYT Cooking App. It’s around $40 and has SO many great, easy and delicious recipes. I used it every week. It would even be a great holiday gift! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/421dc23d-6ff0-4f67-9ada-983c7e2eea37/12%3A23+december+conscious+covets+2.png Conscious Living - December’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out These are so good! If you need a little afternoon treat these are a great go to as they are refined sugar free but also have cashews in them so the fat/protein will help mitigate a blood sugar spike. The subtle vanilla flavor gives them a little extra flavor. I’ve been carrying them in my bag for an easy grab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b6e32026-a6d4-4aed-ad8f-316e543ea2ce/12%3A30+gap+sweat+set+email+template.png Conscious Living - December’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I LOVE these sweat sets!

This was something on my list. We then made our way to dinner at Ogata which was a fabulous 3 course Japanese dining experience. It was unlike anything I’ve ever done and would highly recommend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/cc1f5d6d-0f97-45c7-8e6d-402407fe8a99/biologique+recherche+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris Friday I had a facial booked at the flagship Biologique Recherche. I love their P50 lotion - it is amazing for your skin so I wanted to see what it was like at the mothership. It was great and different than the BR facial I get in NYC - I would definitely recommend! We then met for lunch at the very chic Gigi which wasn’t far away so an easy walk. It was so good and had beautiful views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731935043483-YJSNANU4IX0IM0VPSN3N/dior+museum+1.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731935086956-XGYPB30S2CX33HKTKEND/dior+musuem+3.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731935774515-9BORRUW7SZHIKF9CG9KL/dior+museum+2.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5416e92f-9ffe-444e-b2da-f0b6c653248d/verjus+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris We shopped around a bit at Galleries Lafayette after the Dior Museum and I got my husband some great stuff. I also found the brand Sessun - I grabbed this jacket plus a few other things that I can’t find online in the states, which is a good thing! It was chic, priced well and unlike anything I’ve seen in the city style wise. It was just what I needed to update my wardrobe. We finished the day off at Verjus which was a 4 course tasting menu. It was AMAZING. It was minimal, creative and such a lovely dining experience. One of the most exceptional I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1ac29870-4de1-4709-9f11-d5983c7ec819/l%27orangerie+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris Saturday we started our day at Copains in the Marais for gluten free pastries and coffee. We then headed to the Musee de L’Orangerie which is the museum with all of Monet’s Waterlilies. It was incredible and wow to see them so close like that displayed in this way, I can’t recommend it enough. This is a small museum so doesn’t take long to get through. When you’re done, walk through the Tuileries Gardens - it’s a great way to see a lot of beautiful Paris. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/88f7d826-4fa0-4ff8-a88c-6f39548a4309/paris+hundred+pilates.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris - Hundred Pilates After our museum visit, my sister and I headed to Hundred Pilates which is a very chic studio not from Place de la Concorde or the Marais. We stumbled upon it on our way home from Verjus the night before. My sister and I took an Advanced Reformer Class and it was good! This studio is affiliated with Real Pilates so it’s quality not quantity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731937024044-OHR9AV47EW8AK415Y9YC/tigermilk+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731937067683-7FLLXKOKCARCBMZZPYB1/macaroons+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731937142925-WI25XKZ6VY33RI9LLP32/sezanne+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6782c278-c030-4234-a8b8-e8a9c46fa482/camille+steak+frites+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris We finished our day with steak frites at Camille (their fries are gluten free FYI!) and it was delicious and just what we needed after a busy day plus two previous nights of fancy dining. After we wondered home down Rue Montorgueil which has so many markets, restaurants, etc which is fun to check out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/79d9720c-c1b8-4699-8c0c-0dc7daf72d7e/savory+crepe+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris Sunday was a lazy morning where I slept in, had a coffee at Berry across the street from our flat and then I headed to pilates with another instructor at Antoine Gounet. After, I headed to Breizh Cafe in the Marais for crepes - they are SO GOOD. I had a savory egg, ham and mushroom crepe followed by a shared chocolate with ginger and ice cream. These are gluten free and made with buckwheat flour which is a super food. This place is a MUST when in Paris. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/834afcdc-7357-484f-9f43-bde0849f1ba1/picasso+museum+paris.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris After lunch we went to the Picasso Museum which was right around the corner from Breizh Cafe. It was fantastic and right now is showing a Pollock exhibit as well. I didn’t realize Picasso was such an avid sculptor as well. I would say we spent about an hour here and it was more than enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731938771821-UBG5WXXQE8E5EF0CPBJS/jules+verne+paris+3.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731938842288-WKOHI3849CPDPHPNYSZC/jules+verne+paris+2.JPG Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1731938869469-C2YT012LCOOUK05M98HD/eiffel+tower+paris+2.jpeg Conscious Living - 4 Days in Paris https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/quinoa-and-veggie-loaded-meatballs monthly 0.5 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/bf4fad04-3490-4a56-affb-dc8885d49552/quinoa+and+veggie+meatballs+1.JPG Conscious Living - Quinoa and Veggie Loaded Meatballs - I love a recipe that checks many boxes… And this is one of them! It has quinoa, veggies, protein, and is full of flavor. Plus, it’s quick and easy to come together so is perfect for double the batch to have extras for the next day. Keep reading for the how to and how I serve these! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/8f43801c-bb49-490f-b33a-27f6d5b89dea/quinoa+and+veggie+meatballs+2.JPG Conscious Living - Quinoa and Veggie Loaded Meatballs I like to serve these in a red sauce over zoodles. While the meatballs are cooking, heat up your favorite marinara sauce in a pan. Once they are cooked, place them in the sauce and let them simmer for 2-3 minutes to let all of the flavors come together. Meanwhile, in another pot, bring the water to boil and place the zoodles in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes so they cook through but don’t get mushy. You can also make spaghetti as an option for everyone. Drain the desired noodles and plate in a shallow bowl and top with meatballs and sauce. I love to use pecorino romano to top it off as it’s sheep’s cheese and easier on my stomach. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/novembers-conscious-covets monthly 0.5 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1a7567c1-bdf4-4585-9426-4e3442e3f818/wildflower+farm.JPG Conscious Living - November’s Conscious Covets Fall is in full swing now that it is November.

I can’t stop reading it! It’s the perfect fall cozy murder mystery you need to curl up as the weather changes. I started this while upstate last weekend and cannot put it down. I might be speed writing this just so I can get back into it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/aa06b9ad-d210-4e86-9353-084382f06e20/11%3A11+alice+chocolates+email+template.png Conscious Living - November’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out My sleep has not been great lately, I’ve been waking so much and it’s been driving me nuts. I’ve been hit up by Alice for a while with their ads and decided to give them a try. I will say, I have definitely gotten improved sleep with them! They taste good for what it is (I wouldn’t call it a treat but it’s a tiny square and tastes good enough to enjoy and swallow). I take an hour or so before bedtime and have been getting significantly better sleep. Definitely recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ffd58fbd-efed-4ed9-a165-a58f8c086366/11%3A11+swedish+dishcloths+email+template+.png Conscious Living - November’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out My mom gifted me one of these last year and we liked it. It got used and thrown away and I kind of forgot about them. But then, I started getting sick of using so many paper towels - it’s wasteful and not good for the environment so I decided to buy a pack and commit to making a better choice. Aside from the fact that they are better for the environment, they also work so much better than paper towels for kitchen clean up! Can’t recommend them enough and would even say that they would be a great housewarming or hostess gift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/2b3c5588-1648-46c5-bfa1-a82d61c03d79/11%3A18+husbands+and+lovers+email+template.png Conscious Living - November’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I recently started this book and am loving it. It’s equal parts light and fun but also there’s an underlying story that has depth. I’m not done but I’ve definitely had a hard time putting it down at bed time and would recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3115ef27-bd6a-4b97-8fc0-1fec00b397bb/11%3A18+martha+stewart+eamil+template.png Conscious Living - November’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out Martha was the original influencer! This documentary is not only interesting about her life but also takes you through a tour of history in the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. She was truly a pioneer for women and an inspiration to many. I enjoyed this and would definitely recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b9d73c62-1ab4-4c07-bd89-50627c9aa0cc/11%3A25+cuticle+oil+email+template+.png Conscious Living - November’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out I don’t often get colored nail polish but do get manicures to keep my nails looking good since I work with my hands often. I love this cuticle oil as it helps my nails/hands look good and fight the effects of drying out, winter, hand washing, etc. It’s a quick way to upgrade how your nails look and extend your manicures! Not to mention, PH7’s products are free of a lot of junk other beauty brands have. I get my nails done there consistently in NYC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/8dd062fd-6b78-4113-bfcd-7e0f85e9aacf/11%3A25+all+the+bitter+email+template.png Conscious Living - November’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out The sommeliers from French Laundry out in Napa created these as a way to make gut healthy mocktails without all the junk/sugar of other mixers. These are herbaceous and have feel good ingredients like holy basil.

My husband picked up this granola and to my surprise it's got AMAZING ingredients and my son LOVES it. There's no added sugar, is full of all kinds of good for you seeds, has tiger nuts which are actually a vegetable AND is grain free so no glyphosate from oats. They recommend putting on a salad, soup, etc. which sounds like a great idea to me too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f31d652e-8881-47ad-b5f1-f1efc8b73614/9%3A30+us+email+template.png Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Make it stand out This song popped up on my Spotify and I'm obsessed.

Then, pair them with a basic short sleeve t shirt and a cashmere sweater (I have been loving J Crew's light weight cropped cashmere sweaters for shoulder season!) around your shoulders in the event you get a little cold. It's the perfect mix of still holding onto summer and gearing up for fall. Last, you can't forget about a hat (Lack of Color makes the BEST hats!) because protecting your face is one of the best things you can do to proactively age!

They’re so easy to make and I think are extra delicious since the cheese gets all melty. Plus, you can top them with whatever you have in your fridge.

They’re known for helping with cramps, upset stomachs, constipation and period pain. I’ve personally felt the difference in using them and wanted to share the wealth! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/julys-conscious-covets-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/36fc97c7-75d4-4dae-a3e8-b17305bcd7c5/leallo+cream.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covets - July came and went, but I think I say that about every month. Time seems to go faster and faster but I really am trying to stop and smell the roses along the way. Keep reading for what I got into this month. To kick things off, the outfit I’m wearing here on the left is my new favorite brand, Leallo. It’s cute, SO comfortable, reasonably priced and is a step above “athleisure”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e5ab91a4-9d59-4522-b7fb-a6633a420c98/TACO+HOLDER.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covets - Taco Holders I bought these at the end of last summer after having a few tacos fall apart on me. We’ve all likely used these at some point at a restaurant and now that I have them I totally see why they’re so great! It’s easier to build your tacos and keep them together as you’re eating them. They stack neatly in your kitchen and I haven’t looked back after purchasing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/d7f9008e-a157-4413-8297-e1f713e1acc0/GOOP+LIPBALM.jpg Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covets - Goop Lip Balm This stuff is the best - I’ve been using for years actually! But this summer my lips have been feeling the effects of the sun have been making my lips extra dry this summer and this stuff alway does the trick. I rarely wear lipstick/gloss this is my daily go to and I love it! Also, I have to mention that most lip balms make my lips break out and this does not! I buy 2 at a time and keep them in my purse and one in my vanity as a back up! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/411a270e-ce13-4999-98d0-ed59be911841/weighted+vest.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covets - Weighted Vests This is my new thing and I can’t recommend it enough! Wearing a weighted vest is proving to add increased bone density to our hips which is so essential as we age. Wearing one for a walk, run, housework, workouts, etc. is a great way to up the ante and give us that extra bone density and muscle mass we all need in a way that requires little to no extra effort (aside from the extra work we will get out of wearing one!) I love Omorpho - their 5 pound vest is one of my favorite things I’ve bought this year!

They are an easy way to be beach chic but also reasonable with your shoe choice. I’ve been wearing them all summer and are perfect for a trip to the beach, a sundress, or cutoffs. I brought these on my recent trip to the midwest and they were one of 3 pairs of shoes I brought for the whole trip. The best part is they won’t break the bank! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/32d74557-b145-40db-8c7c-a3f0cc47f801/THE+BEE+STING.jpg Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covets - The Bee Sting Honestly, I couldn’t get into this book and I didn’t even finish it!

I whipped this up the other night with ingredients from my garden, my CSA and local fish from the market. It turned out SO GOOD I had to share. It was so easy and took less than 15 minutes. This would look beautiful served at a dinner party.

Honestly, I think these are better than what you’ll get at a restaurant and not just because they’re a healthier option. The secret that makes these crispy and delicious is giving them an ice bath first. It sounds crazy I know but it’s an extra step worth taking!

This combines two of my favorite things - pilates AND nature! The beauty of doing pilates at home is just this. Fitting in a pilates workout on a beautiful day is truly the best! Aside from this, I have so much to share!

They’re so delicious and are full of functional herbs and ingredients that not only make you feel good but ease your stomach too. Summer can be notoriously “wet” and full of drinks at the beach, soirees, and more. One of the best ways to balance all this out is to have a mocktail in hand. Check these out, I promise you will love them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e7e8298f-5bc9-425f-a040-82879e59fac6/scalp+massager.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Vegamour Scalp Massager Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/73d86a1b-b241-42fd-a059-4b5198db8bd6/perry+street+reflexology.JPG Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Foot Reflexology I took my sister out for reflexology for her birthday a few weeks ago and it was amazing! It was such a fun way for us to spend time together and get some TLC in! We followed it with a great dinner in the West Village. If you live in NYC or are visiting, I’m in love with Perry Street Reflexology. It’s so cute and the coziest spot for a date with a friend, partner, or spouse! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/122fee4e-2121-4a61-b86d-11abebeecedb/beyond+yoga+crop+top.JPG Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - One Shoulder Beyond Yoga Crop Top This top is so cute with the one shoulder look keeps things interesting.

It was a powerful story on love, relationships, and life but sometimes I just wasn’t into it. Other times, I loved it. Bottom line, I’d recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5e9d10d2-d98b-4824-906e-aad1f1a75650/presumed+innocent.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covets - Presumed Innocent Okay this show is so good. It’s suspenseful, feels real life like and has great actors in it. They are releasing a new show each week so you have to wait to see what happens next which is kind of nice considering how most shows can be binged these days.

They add the perfect sweet, juicy-ness that really makes a salad pop. Pair this with fresh herbs and it’s full of flavor, keeping things interesting. This salad combo is great as a side during a summer dinner party, or with added quinoa and protein for a fun weekday lunch.

Pair these ingredients with crunchy, chunky croutons and you’ve got the perfect salad. These are so easy to make and much better than anything you’ll find in the store. It’s one of my favorite ways to make use of bread that’s about to go bad so a double win in my book.

It was a super busy month as my husband and I were both traveling, my mother was visiting, and my son is in full swing of baseball season (no pun intended). I was able to take a moment to read, watch, eat, smell and more.

It’s based on a true story and is deeply disturbing. It has a great cast including Elvis’s Great Grand Daughter, Riley Keough! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6d59f76d-40d5-47b7-bca5-86c956a097a2/the+people+we+keep.jpg Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - The People We Keep I loved this book. It’s a beautiful story about a woman finding her way, finding her people, and finding love both of herself and others. The subtle message of how the people we keep in our circle can define us, bring us up, or bring us down. I checked this out from the NYPL and can’t recommend it enough! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/03b27bb8-b27d-4309-8c39-636ddb93479b/peonie+arrangement.JPG Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Peonies Peonies are in season and they’re SO beautiful. They’re one of my favorite flowers. My dad is a florist so I have a natural attraction to flowers and if you follow me on instagram or do my videos you know I love having plants and flowers around. This combo I recently put together is perfection as it has height, depth, volume, and is beautifully fragrant. It’s a combo of pink peonies, lily’s, and delphinium. If you have a local florist or market I highly recommend buying from them and not a supermarket. The quality will be SO much better and you’ll be supporting a small business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/915c8ac9-1701-42b0-ae25-c609d03dfe74/suzie+kondi+terri+cloth+set.JPG Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Terry Cloth Suzie Kondi Sets This is the newest style from my favorite, Suzie Kondi. Her clothes are so comfortable, timeless, and work both in the studio and out. I don’t buy for trend I buy for comfort, fit and style. I love supporting small female founded brands and this is definitely one of my favs! The cut of the top is very flattering and makes your posture look great. The pants are flowy so super comfortable and perfect for a warm day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/35ec5a2f-9c13-4827-a9bb-b88630487462/doughy.jpg Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Doughy Cookie Dough I found this in the health food store I go to in Montauk and WOW is it good! We ate all of the cookies in one night! It’s dairy free, gluten free, grain free, low in sugar and the perfect thing to have in your freezer when you’re craving a sweet treat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1b804eb5-6242-4f9d-9e87-84347a8119c6/montana+handkerchief.JPG Conscious Living - May’s Conscious Covets - Neck Scarves I had the privilege to travel to Montana back in May. I stayed right at Yellowstone and it was so fantastic (blog post on that coming soon!). I love spending time in nature and exploring new cultures. I stopped in Bozeman on my way to/from the airport and picked up this embroidered handkerchief. It’s the prettiest color and is lovely around the neck. It’s cowboy meets old school chic. I will be keeping up this look with some of my other neck scarves to protect my neck from the sun this summer. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/my-go-to-salad-dressing monthly 0.5 2024-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/815cee54-2329-4665-83ff-93932e42eef5/go+to+salad+dressing.JPG Conscious Living - My Go To Salad Dressing - I have PTSD From being served bottled salad dressing as a kid. Hidden Valley, Wishbone, etc. They were all so gross to me and were the only seeming salad option at time. So to say the least, salad was never very appetizing to me. Fast forward a few decades and I now make my own salad dressings each week. They are delicious, easy and full of good for you ingredients.

What is this exactly? No, it’s not multitasking. It’s when you stack many tasks into one activity. It’s self care meets consistency meets getting shit done and feeling good all at once. It’s one of the many ways I fit it all in and don’t loose my mind trying to do so. In fact, I’d say some of these stacks keep me from going off the wall. Jokes aside, recovery is essential for performance both mentally and physically. If you want to keep it together as a mom, you need to care for yourself. The same goes for you when it comes to your fitness goals. In order to perform well, you must equally prioritize recovery. Keep reading for some of my favorite habit hacks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/9f9a2ed1-fcad-4222-b671-67822ad8f806/IMG_6780.jpg Conscious Living - Habit Stacking Red light therapy is amazing for your nervous system, your skin, your energy, inflammation and more. I am obsessed with the LightStim machine at Stretch*d near my house on the Upper East Side. I love to pair it with their compression boots and lie on an infrared PEMF mat. Before I lie down I put on a meditation and after 20 minutes I feel like a new woman. I’d argue it’s better than a power nap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ca7e93b4-e2f5-4cdf-9f3d-12ce592bc38a/book%2C+legs+up+the+wall+with+toe+separators.jpg Conscious Living - Habit Stacking Almost every night I put my legs up the wall as a way to drain them, promote good circulation, and ease my nervous system. I love to put on my toe separators to stretch out my feet while I do this to maximize my efforts. Add in a good book using an amber reading light and you’re relaxing your mind, your body, your nervous system, and getting ready for some seriously good sleep with feet that will feel good when you step out of bed in the morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f58046db-065c-4ce2-ac55-fc9682974516/compression+boots+and+laundry.JPG Conscious Living - Habit Stacking If there’s one household chore I don’t like, it’s folding laundry. I have no problem doing laundry but it takes so long to fold it! My solution to avoiding this task was habit stack it with things I actually enjoy. While I don’t watch TV that often when I do find a show I like I’m in 100% until it’s over. I love my Therabody compression boots for decreasing swelling after standing for hours a day so I throw them on, turn on the show, and get to folding. After an hour I’ve gotten so much done for my body, my to-do list, and a little chill time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3354bd30-c36e-4b7c-8b09-f40741e96351/hair+mask+and+run.JPG Conscious Living - Habit Stacking I go for an early morning run a few days a week so I can start my day outside, in nature. It’s one of my absolute favorite things. I’ve recently started adding a scalp detoxifier and hair mask to my hair before I get going so while I’m outside my hair is getting a treatment. I then come home, shower and by 7:30am I’ve not only checked my run off my list but also have a great hair day going for me. I’ve been loving Vegamore’s Scalp Detox and Leave-in Conditioner as they consistently give me good results. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/easy-chocolate-bark monthly 0.5 2024-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b771e9c4-3d9e-4eff-8cb0-f56050c2f727/chocolate+bark.JPG Conscious Living - Easy Chocolate Bark - If you’re craving a sweet treat, But don’t have much in the kitchen this will become your go-to!

I don’t know if this is a thing in other countries, but if you were raised in America in the 80’s and 90’s you definitely ate grilled cheese as a kid. I have so many memories of piping hot tomato soup and the gooey-ness of a grilled cheese. It’s the perfect combo. Now that I’m a grown up I still love this combo but need a bit more nutrition to really fill my cup. I present you with, kimchi grilled cheese!

It’s so good, definitely twisted, and a great follow up to “The Women” if you read that. There’s some tough topics covered like trauma and sexual abuse but it’s also a story of connection and coming into one’s self. This would make for a great mini series or movie. Highly recommend! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a66e6f21-1435-4f37-addb-cd3f480f5849/IMG_5093_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - Body Roll’r at Stretched in NYC I’ve been doing the body roll’r for about 2 years and while this isn’t a “new” favorite I decided it’s time to share the love. There’s a fantastic regeneration space around the corner from where I live called Stretch’d. They have 2 NYC locations and I’m sure that if you don’t live in NYC, there’s something similar near you! You can search “body roller/lymphatic drainage” and you will find what you need! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7acae861-8149-4810-a1de-4369b17c48e5/minerals+and+chill.JPG Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - Minerals and Chill Adding minerals to my day to day has been a game changer for me. If you feel depleted, low or anxious you could be feeling adrenal fatigue as a result of being low in minerals. My friend and IHP introduced this brand to me and it’s full of good for you ingredients and NO “natural flavors” or other junk we don’t need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5fdcbace-e886-4a2c-8fc1-a5a30ad80070/green+sambas.JPG Conscious Living - April’s Conscious Covets - Sage Green Sambas Sambas are all the rage right now. They’re equally chic as they are functional in my opinion. As someone who wears a lot of athletic wear having a strong sneaker game for me is like business casual for those who work in an office. I found these on Farfetch and love the color. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/chimichurri monthly 0.5 2024-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7a53aa80-55c8-4c2b-9aa1-6dfd1d4617a9/chimichurri.JPG Conscious Living - Chimichurri Sauce - Chimmichuri is the best When paired with grilled steak and vegetables - especially in the summer time! It’s so refreshing and easy to whip up to take a meal up a notch in flavor. I always divide this into 3 portions. One for that night, then 2 for the freezer.

It’s only been a few days but you know what? I am seeing a difference! My eyebrows/eye lids really do look better! I always hesitated to even try this because it sounds like it takes a long time. After the first time I tried this I quickly got into a rhythm and it now in 5 minutes or so I see a big difference! Not to mention, it feels really good and has been a great way to relax tension in my face, neck, and shoulders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6c13a183-5d9e-4f9f-b678-5f1d5480c9a4/IMG_4160.JPG Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Hyppo Ice Pops These ice pops have such fun flavors and a slim ingredient list. While they do have cane sugar in them, there’s no filler, artificial colors, or other junk that has no place in our food. This flavor is strawberry basil and has only strawberries, sea salt, basil, water, and cane sugar. You can custom order any flavor arrangement based on your home’s preferences. We will definitely be stocking up for summer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/eb6e5eb6-8dd3-4e39-be4f-4db0a62601e7/linguine+with+clams.JPG Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Linguine with Clams and Fresh Red Sauce I made this for Easter dinner last weekend and it was SO GOOD. I used fresh clams and made my own clam broth by steaming the clams first before I went into the rest of the recipe. This is an easy step that doesn’t take long and highly recommend doing so! We used baby San Marzano Tomatoes and wow did they make a difference. If you have a special dinner coming up, I highly recommend this dish! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e911788c-8468-483e-bd0c-cf6f73b83402/IMG_4102.JPG Conscious Living - March’s Conscious Covets - Anima Mundi RELAX I’ve been adding this to my tea at night and wow does it work.

And then I got pregnant and that all changed. First of all my mercury was on the high side because I ate so much fish. Second, it sounded good to me And third, I decided I never wanted my child to hear me say “I don’t eat that” so they would grow up with a healthy relationship to food. We live in a house where we eat/try everything and as a result I now enjoy a steak or hamburger from time to time and simultaneously my son will the the broccoli before anything else on his plate. This marinade is a combo of things I have tried over time and I feel like it really gives a lot of flavor! I use Coconut Aminos instead of soy sauce so it’s gluten and soy free. There is a secret to it - keep reading for the details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/64fc6286-d9bc-47e0-8e9c-bf8d13f654ed/IMG_3829_jpg.jpg Conscious Living - Go To Steak Marinade - We love serving this with roasted veggies, sweat potatoes, and chimichurri (recipe coming to the blog soon!). Get your sweet potatoes in the oven, followed by the veggies roasting and then get your steak going. It will all come out in perfect timing. I make chimichurri and freeze it into small containers so I have it on hand for future days! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! The acids in the kiwi help break down the proteins in the steak so it becomes so tender and sears perfectly.

Some of it is super helpful and some of it is totally unnecessary. Why? Because at the end of the day, exercise, eating well, drinking water (not alcohol!), spending time in nature and quality sleep are what will help you feel your best. That being said, I use a lot of these tools on a weekly basis for general wellness and some of them even more so while training for my race. They help me do the aforementioned, better. If you’re looking to invest in your wellness and recovery, this list has you covered with an honest review of what I think is worth it! Read all about it below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1cdbd67a-f29c-4208-8b6d-117ee1ff36bd/therabody+compression+boots.jpg Conscious Living - Wellness Technology I Love - Compression Boots My husband gifted me these for Christmas last year and I love them. They are so great for recovery, feel amazing, and have become an almost nightly way for me to relax and unwind while simultaneously making my body feel better. He splurged and got me the wireless ones which i recommend because you can do them anywhere in your house. We keep the charging cord tucked away and charge 1-2x a week. I used this a lot while training for my half marathon. But even if you’re not a big runner, these are great for circulation after a long day of sitting/standing/travel. Whether this is a gift to yourself or someone you love, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Your legs will thank you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a2ff9a91-246b-4630-9d86-ac76182a3fd7/oura+ring+gold.jpg Conscious Living - Wellness Technology I Love - Oura Ring I’ve been wearing an Oura Ring for about a year and a half now. I love the data it gives me for my sleep and recovery. It’s been a helpful guide for my training but also life to help lean into my energy levels and make appropriate choices for the day based on them. What I love most about it is that it helps me track my period. I love this because it takes the thinking out of it and helps me align my workouts and other activities with my cycle which has been super helpful. The below link will give you $40 off your purchase! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/0fd559d4-89da-43a3-bc4b-0f78790829eb/airmax+pro+headphones.jpg Conscious Living - Wellness Technology I Love - Apple Air Max Pro Headphones I love these headphones because the Apple Air Pods fall out so easy from my ears. This are comfortable, have great sound, and help block out the noise (literally and figuratively). I wear them for running, working, and walking around NYC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/def1b7a3-5e61-49ab-b2a7-8a0a553c6892/vitruvi+cordless+diffuser.jpg Conscious Living - Wellness Technology I Love - Vitruvi Essential Oil Diffuser I love this diffuser. I think of all the diffusers we’ve bought over the years, this is my favorite. Vitruvi products work better than the others too. We have 3 different styles between our bedroom, my son’s bedroom and the studio and I like this one the best because it can be cordless. It makes it easier to fill and you can move it around your home so you don’t actually need more than one. Our favorite oil to diffuse at home is Sleep because it smells so good and reminds us of bedtime. At the studio I love Pacific or Retreat - they smell amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/108ca50d-9e0e-4485-9f28-ed9ec2ad560f/vitruvi+cloud+humidifier.jpg Conscious Living - Wellness Technology I Love - Vitruvi Cloud Humidifier A humidifier in dry NYC during the winter is a must. It gets so dry and keeping this going really makes a difference in our sinuses and respiratory health. What I love most about this is the sleek/slim design and the fact that the bucket inside is dishwasher safe. I don’t have time right now to be hand washing humidifiers! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/pickled-jalapenos monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f575acce-7bb3-40cd-87d1-00a4b50d6c02/pickled+jalapenos.JPG Conscious Living - Pickled Jalapenos - These are my latest obsession Pickled anything is full of flavor and nutrition.

It’s also meant to be fuel and give you energy. One of the things I’ve changed in training for my half marathon is eating before my long runs. Quick carbs have gone a long way for my energy and endurance. My go to meal has been a banana muffin with a good spread of almond butter, some sliced banana, and a sprinkle of flakey sea salt. This banana muffin recipe is gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and so good. They’re a bit crispy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside.

I am back from what was an epic ski trip to Breckenridge, Colorado. Honestly, it was amazing and I am hooked for life. Winter in the mountains is so much fun - I have outlined our whole trip below. I scouted out so many great restaurant orders (many of which are farm to table, my fav) and of course pilates and other fun things off the slopes. Keep reading for the slope scoop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1708890262596-CNATZDHZACX5BR2JKC5J/hey+bangkok+1.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1708890258476-0CPBGPVEJ13XZGQT9M1S/hey+bangkok.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1708890099148-YLVRHJMFLVL88RNHBT7T/hey+bangkok+2.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/005105cf-415d-4f87-a04a-2b3b46615673/ski+butler.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge This was our AirBNB. It was cute, clean, and very convenient to the gondola and town. While you couldn’t ski out of it onto the mountain, you can ski the 4 o’clock run directly back to it. Shortly after arriving I had Ski Butlers arrive with all of our ski gear. They’re a service that bring you all the ski gear you need and pick it back up from you. I always equate saving time and effort with spending a little extra money to be worth it. They’re owned by Vail Resorts now so you’ll likely find them all over the country. We then grabbed dinner at Sancho’s Tacos and Tequila and it was the perfect casual meal after a long day of travel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1708892888369-LW0RDDGMCBRDX1SZIY9T/gondola.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1708892879810-KUGJAUTQKZD0PX0UONKS/halfdays.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/0904df28-2de5-4113-8ea9-602c2d906e45/tbar+salad.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge - To stay fueled for our first 2 days, We ate at TBar for lunch and they had a perfect salad of mixed greens, quinoa, pepitas, feta, grilled chicken and a maple vinnagreite. Our second night we ate at Fatty’s which was another casual restaurant that had something for everyone - I had a burger with a gluten free bun. The next night we ate at Cabin Juice in the Gravity Haus hotel. I didn’t love my entree but the soup and salad appetizers along with the side of potatoes we ordered were great. The best part was there was lots of potatoes leftover to use the next day at breakfast with scrambled eggs and avocado. A perfect pre ski meal if you ask me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7abb8ceb-e7c7-4b89-843c-7d0e9aaaf5fd/spheeris+pilates.JPG Conscious Living - Ski Trip to Breckenridge - On our 3rd day in Breckenridge, we took a break from skiing. Whenever I travel, I always try and take a pilates lesson or class. I booked a lesson at Spheeris Pilates which is a classical pilates studio in Breckenridge. It’s such a great way to not only get a workout in but also get inspired by other teachers and studios.

Cut them into squares and keep them on hand for a treat that sustains your energy and won’t spike your blood sugar. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/thai-inspired-shrimp-salad monthly 0.5 2023-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/108d07c7-580c-4260-9c2d-729905e30da2/thai+inspired+shrimp+salad.JPG Conscious Living - Thai Inspired Shrimp Salad - THIS is the salad your work lunch needs I made this a few weekends ago and it was so good. I was going through my fridge trying to decide what to make for lunch and realized I had everything to make this. It is a rendition on a recipe I had recalled a year and half ago or so and made it my own. This dressing goes a long way so you’ll have it for many meals however the recipe serves 2.

Whereas during the week I opt for quick grab and go muffins with boiled eggs, granola and fruit, etc. One of my favorite things to do is poach eggs. Years ago I learned this technique in a cooking class and have used it ever since. You do not need anything but a pan and some vinegar.

It’s an easy way to add lots of flavor and nutrition to any meal. I use it for pasta (obviously), to fry eggs in (see this quick and tasty meal idea), on pizza, as a spread on a sandwich and more. Most store bought pestos use canola oil which not only doesn’t taste good but is also highly inflammatory. Additionally, I prefer to use Pecorino Romano which adds a little more flavor and it’s made from sheep’s milk so is easier to digest. I’ve followed many recipes over the years and have come up with this which uses you have in your fridge to make it quick, easy, and a great way to use up what’s there. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/healthy-swaps monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/52b64913-1df9-4dde-9c33-34c18a0848e5/healthy+swaps+i+love.JPG Conscious Living - Healthy Swaps I Love - My number one rule when eating is to only eat things that taste good. I typically go for healthy, feel good foods that love me back and would never settle for a “healthy something” that doesn’t actually taste good or satisfy me just because it’s “healthier.” Rather, I prefer to lean into what my body is telling me with a more intuitive style of eating. One where I prioritize food that is abundant, full of color, and is truly satisfying. Eating whole, real foods is always a priority for me. This being said, there is a place for processed foods in our daily lives. And, there are so many delicious healthier options out there that are truly worth it! I wanted to share some of my favorite brands that help me eat and enjoy in a more conscious way. I intend to make this an ever growing list of things I come across and love.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. By committing to one you are not only supporting your community farms but you are getting the most fresh and local food you can buy. Eating seasonally will make the foods you are eating exponentially delicious and easier to create meals from real whole foods. Typically you receive recipes to go with the foods in your box for easy inspiration. If you are on the East End like I am, I joined Amber Waves Farm and cannot recommend it enough. Swapping store bought produce for local will be a game changer for you I promise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/13caec47-4b9b-4c25-9944-fba57663804c/montys+cream+cheese.jpg Conscious Living - Healthy Swaps I Love - Monty’s Cream Cheese Whether you have a dairy allergy or not, Monty’s Cream Cheese is amazing! I love spreading it on a bagel, in my ultimate veggie sandwich, and mixing it up with eggs to make them extra creamy. You have to order 4 at a time so I freeze them and pull out as I need. I love the plain, the scallion, rosemary truffle, and their cinnamon butter (as does my son!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/cb20533b-5922-4180-b8f5-3cab0b490ef3/knead+love+bagels.jpg Conscious Living - Healthy Swaps I Love - Knead Love Bakery Will change your life. Their baked goods are so good - you will never look back! I order their breads (tumeric is my favorite) and slice it up and freeze it so I can easily defrost a few slices at a time. Their bagels are highly fermented and extra digestible. And last, their brownies I am legit addicted to. I always do a big order and freeze it all! The best part? 25% of the ingredients are local and Sarah who started it is the nicest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3342b37c-314e-41ce-b77e-f10d1e7822fa/hu+kitchen+baking+chips.jpg Conscious Living - Healthy Swaps I Love - Hu Kitchen Baking Chocolate I love chocolate and eat it basically every day.

They’re so delicious and when paired with homemade sweet potato fries it’s truly a home run dinner. Most ketchup found in stores is crap loaded with corn syrup - this one is not and tastes delicious!

I love both the spray and pour bottle options. It’s safe to cook with at high temperatures and makes your food taste so good. Seed oils are very inflammatory and avocado oil is really a great neutral tasting oil alternative.

I’ve loved our experience this summer and highly suggest you find one in your area. This salad uses a lot of what came in last week’s box.

But the reality is alcohol often makes me feel like crap these days and not to mention the studies out there are not a good look for your health. No judgement from me here though, I’ve had my own journey to switching from cocktail hour to mocktail hour (that’s a post for another time).

I love this as an alternative to a “spritz” as it’s so refreshing. Curious has other flavors but I will be honest this is the only one I’ve tried mainly because I love it so much! There’s a perfect balance of sweetness, bitter herbs, and a hint of effervesence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/203a0268-821e-484d-8a35-72baa0dd89d6/IMG_9018_jpg+2.JPG Conscious Living - My Summer Mocktail Guide - Golden Hour by De Soi De Soi was started by Katy Perry and is delicious.

Their tag line is “Real Plant Magic” and it’s true! I started drinking their drinks a few years ago on my sister’s recommendation. The CBD goes a long way after a long work day. They also have adaptogenic drinks that are equally effective. All of their flavors are delicious, unique, and small batch made in Colorado. They also test for toxins in their water that is often found in other seltzers. Cannot recommend them enough! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/0abf7ee2-b7c1-4a32-9b73-ca21e973370c/non+alcoholic+drinks+6.JPG Conscious Living - My Summer Mocktail Guide - My other favorite water combo… Is lemon and cucumber.

It also utilizes lemons, onions, garlic, olives and capers which many people often have already in the kitchen.

I love the delicious breakfasts that come with the meal plan. I personally need a little extra protein and fat in the morning so I always add 2 eggs - poach them, scramble them or boil them and put them on the side. You can eat the eggs first to help stabilize your blood sugar as well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/d20812fb-0ae3-4aaa-ba26-0731c1c612e3/IMG_0007.JPG Conscious Living - How I Maximize My Sakara Membership - Set your lunches out in the morning. I personally think most food tastes best either room temperature or cooked (if it’s supposed to be). I always take my meals out in the morning and leave them on the counter for when I’m ready. Sometimes, there are toppings that Sakara says to heat up. Sometimes, depending on the toppings even if Sakara doesn’t mention it I will still heat up some of the toppings as I feel that it makes them taste the best this way - especially if it’s the winter and you need more of a “warm meal”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/d3642bdd-1467-44f7-81b8-c18876d582f8/sakara+life+granola.jpg Conscious Living - How I Maximize My Sakara Membership - Stock up on staples.

This is also how I incorporate Sakara into my life when I’m not using their meal plans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e1150baa-8113-4d18-9390-b9fd4b04c64a/sakara+detox+water+drops.JPG Conscious Living - How I Maximize My Sakara Membership - Enhance your water. I love the Beauty and Detox Water Drops. I add them either to my green juice in the morning or to a glass of lemon water in the afternoon for a little nutrient boost. It becomes a bit of a “Green lemonade” after you stir it up. These help replenish mineral depletion as well as detoxify you. I always choose these as my “add on” in my subscription but also keep a larger bottle set on hand as a back up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6a294d05-5fab-4df8-b3cf-2ccb299aa3fd/sakara+tea+at+airport.JPG Conscious Living - How I Maximize My Sakara Membership - Travel with tea bags. Order their teas and granolas to keep on hand. I love their Detox Tea for night time and the Digestion Tea in the morning. It helps keep everything moving if you know what I mean. These are also great to take while traveling and maintain some of your routine while on the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b435b25b-cb5e-44c4-8cfe-0ab429d7ca70/IMG_4242_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - How I Maximize My Sakara Membership - The best part about Sakara? It can literally be eaten anywhere. I have eaten meals on the airplane, in my car on the street in NYC, on a park bench, on the beach, on a picnic, and while running around with my son. I can’t tell you how having easy access to nutrient dense food will change your life. I promise! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3bd74cd3-78cf-4434-be03-cd74c32d3864/IMG_0012_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - How I Maximize My Sakara Membership - Most importantly… Enjoy the beautiful and abundant food that comes with Sakara’s meal plans! One of the best things you can do for your health is to eat a variety of foods daily and weekly. This will keep your microbiome healthiest and happiest.

Spring feels like a breath of fresh air and gives you that pep in your step we all need after a cold and grey winter. But if you’re anything like me, you’re also an allergy sufferer! I live for spending time outside, especially crisp runs in the morning amongst the blossoming trees and flowers. I don’t take typical over the counter allergy medicines because of not only what they’re made of but even more importantly how they make me feel (like I’m on speed with a super dry everything!). Below is my personal remedy that has done wonders for me - a lot of it was recommended to me by my amazing acupuncturist, Sharon Yeung at Five Seasons Healing. I have to mention that this is not medical advice but purely what I have found to be tried and true and that most importantly makes me feel good! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/07f6841a-e034-485d-9854-9d3223bc793b/IMG_7226.jpg Conscious Living - How I Fight Seasonal Allergies, Naturally - Use a Neti Pot Daily I have been using a Neti Pot daily for almost a decade. You use a special salt for it that rinses your sinuses. You could say that I am addicted to the feeling. It wakes you up, cleans everything out (literally), and helps prevent that itchy nose that comes with allergies. You have to boil the water first to kill all bacteria in the water, pour it in and then let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. I like to do this at the end of my shower once my nasal passages have softened a bit. It’s also amazing when you have a head cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a62ba716-2d25-4f57-b321-d6629268d18a/IMG_7225.jpg Conscious Living - How I Fight Seasonal Allergies, Naturally - Quercitin During high allergy seasons I take Quercitin to help keep allergy symptoms at bay. This was recommended to me by my accupuncturist and I can tell you first hand how much it has helped me! I really like the one made by Cymbiotika. As always, before you start taking anything please consult with your Dr, accupuncturist or other health professional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/127ae12d-16d4-485c-8c60-b78c7c0927e2/IMG_2087.jpg Conscious Living - How I Fight Seasonal Allergies, Naturally - Change your pillow case and/or wash your hair frequently By going to bed with freshly cleaned hair and a new pillow case, it will help prevent you from breathing into allergens all night long. When I’m in an acute phase I prioritize this and have felt the benefits of it. If I can’t wash my hair, swapping out a fresh pillow case before bed can be just as effective for me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/72bd23b0-73ef-4eca-a564-45469a6260fe/IMG_7227.jpg Conscious Living - How I Fight Seasonal Allergies, Naturally - Accupuncture I started seeing Sharon, my acupuncturist for allergies about a decade ago. She was so helpful in treating me for the symptoms and guiding me along the path of what you’ve just read above. Since then, I go to her often for other things! I cannot tell you how much relief I have found using this special treatment and highly recommend! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/make-coffee-with-me monthly 0.5 2023-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/cd0212b6-ed41-4e46-b2d9-ab1bfab5c6ac/IMG_3490_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - Make Coffee With Me - My triple cappuccino literally gets me out of bed I mean a lot of things get me out of bed in the morning, but the beautiful, creamy, and delicious triple cap I make every morning is definitely helpful. Not to mention, disposable coffee cups are so bad for the environment - it’s estimated that 50 Billion coffee cups are dumped in the US alone each year. In addition, many cups are lined with BPA or PFAS which are not good for you. You will save money, the environment, and your health by switching to a homemade coffee! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1cefe35f-8957-4167-bea7-e9103e9ae07c/cymbiotika+magnesium+threonate.jpg Conscious Living - Make Coffee With Me - Set yourself up for success before you drink your coffee I started taking Cymbiotika’s Magnesium L-Threonate before my morning coffee about 6 months ago and it has made a huge difference for me. It really helps how your body absorbs caffeine and I notice I don’t get that post coffee crash layered with some anxiety. I love all of their products as you don’t have to swallow a lot of pills as they’re liquid. Highly recommend to add to your morning regimen! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/161ca677-9057-4787-afd4-929f88563eb6/IMG_3787.JPG Conscious Living - Make Coffee With Me - Blue Stone Lane Capsules These are great because they are compostable and not made of plastic! They literally disintegrate in my Lomi Composter, it’s amazing. I have a huge stock in my kitchen so I never run out thanks to a subscription. I get all three flavors to keep things interesting. I go for 3 each morning and then call it a day on coffee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/cf964ca9-0fc4-4ade-acc5-78819fbffa1d/nespresso.jpg Conscious Living - Make Coffee With Me - Nespresso Pixie We bought this machine over a decade ago and haven’t looked back.

Maple won’t spike your blood sugar and has the lowest amount of sugar as far as coffee sweeteners go. I always buy this in bulk from Thrive Market! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/2c174844-bd52-42d5-8bce-150d176a197c/IMG_3791_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - Make Coffee With Me - Grass Milk I don’t consume much dairy but when I do I try to make it grass fed, organic, raw if I can (obviously this is not raw), and often opt for sheep or goat’s milk. For this though, I have settled on organic grass fed milk and it works great for me. It’s getting easier to find grass milk in the stores and highly recommend if you can find it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b5570663-2fe2-4b26-8f08-5381df2b2c00/IMG_7285.jpg Conscious Living - Make Coffee With Me - Nespresso Aeroccino This milk frother is amazing! The best part is it is dishwasher safe! It makes cleaning up my morning routine very easy.

I often cook up a bunch of chicken and shred it up for the week - insert some of that here and you’re good to go. Or quickly defrost a pound of shrimp, beef, etc. (I always keep my freezer full of stuff like this). You could also simply drain 2 cans of black beans and you’re set. I personally love the Siete brand, they’re products are delicious and make eating a low grain/clean diet very easy.

Start with your bread of choice. I usually go for a gluten free option to make it low inflammatory. My favorite is the breads from Knead Love Bakery (they ship!). This bread you see here is a sprouted seeded bread from Orwashers (a great bakery in NYC) unfortunately they’ve discontinued the bread which is REALLY unfortunate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e04cab0b-01ad-4080-9629-4088560a964a/ultimate+veggie+sandwhich+2.JPG Conscious Living - The Ultimate Veggie Loaded Sandwich - Add some green Spread on 1/4-1/2 of an avocado on the other slice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1ce08bfa-9fc1-4add-86a7-45f6c711fb10/ultimate+veggie+sandwhich+3.JPG Conscious Living - The Ultimate Veggie Loaded Sandwich - Use a mandolin for super thin cucumbers Keeping them thin will help you layer them easily and not make the sandwich too bulky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e3695186-8728-4c39-a5ec-10c27f92151f/ultimate+veggie+sandwhich+4.JPG Conscious Living - The Ultimate Veggie Loaded Sandwich - Use a veggie peeler for thinly sliced carrots This will also help them layer easily and keep the sandwich tidy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/dd8c65d8-25e6-4c05-80a5-99f5f48fb267/ultimate+veggie+sandwhich+5.JPG Conscious Living - The Ultimate Veggie Loaded Sandwich - Add your protein of choice My go to is wild smoked salmon because it tastes so good on this and packs a lot of protein and nutrients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3006a678-dc46-41bd-b5b7-b1b28e6e0c75/ultimeate+veggie+sandwhich+6.JPG Conscious Living - The Ultimate Veggie Loaded Sandwich - Add more greens Layer whatever you have in your fridge but typically I am a fan of spinach or arugula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/320e1591-3f07-4784-bb71-5ec1f2569918/ultimate+veggie+sandwhich+8.JPG Conscious Living - The Ultimate Veggie Loaded Sandwich - Pack it to go I love using glass containers because they are much safer than plastic.

These are great! First of all they don’t fall out of your ears like the little ear buds and fit your head perfectly. I actually bought these “pre owned” off Amazon and got them for $150 less. They cam in the box with all the packaging, charging cord, etc. and were in perfect condition. If you see this as an option, I would recommend based on my experience! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/fe401472-37be-44f9-81f1-05ca4a6f6146/the+secret+history.jpg Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - The Secret History by Donna Tartt I am almost done with this and am really enjoying it. It’s a smart, mysterious book with characters that are complex. The story is unlike anything I have read and would definitely recommend. She also wrote the Goldfinch which I could not get into - this is different and so if you felt the same, I would still say go for it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/01f889f3-2ec7-4dae-bcde-e226e878ea53/amber+reading+light.jpg Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - Amber Reading Light I got these for my husband and I in our stockings at Christmas and we love them. What is so great about them is that they don’t disrupt your circadian rhythm when reading at night before bed. They are bright enough to read your book but also dim enough that it won’t disturb the people around you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/49f7c9b8-fcfd-41a2-84c8-098a7592a58f/vybes+drink.jpg Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - Vybes CBD Drinks I found these when I was in LA and fell in love. They are SO GOOD! I don’t know who carries them in NYC but thankfully they ship so I ordered their sampler pack and every flavor they sent me is delicious. If you need something delicious at the end of the day to drink that isn’t alcohol but will also take the edge off, this is your drink! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f1633623-9e31-4710-849b-7e7b2037a442/elvis+the+movie.jpg Conscious Living - January’s Conscious Covets - Elvis the Movie I loved this movie. First of all, Baz Luhrmann produced it so it was very visually pleasing. Second, it was so interesting to learn about Elvis’ story.

I certainly do! And I love having some kind of treat most days. Usually something small most days and these are a perfect choice. They are easy and quick to make and store well in your fridge/freezer. You can also swap out the ingredients depending on what you’re feeling. Most important, they are refined sugar free so they won’t make your blood sugar crash or put you in a sugar eating spiral. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/erewhons-salmon-detox-salad monthly 0.5 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/bbc3b09a-d86d-4495-940c-c3da52837c68/detox+salmon+salad+12.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - When I was in LA, I went to the infamous Erewhon Market a few times. On my way to the airport I stopped and picked up lunch to eat on the airplane back to NYC. I am always looking for new salad combos and love what I got. It was a beautiful piece of salmon over a cabbage salad with all kinds of nuts/seeds for crunch, sweet potatoes to keep the flavor interesting and a refreshing vinaigrette. I snapped a photo of the ingredients list and made it recently and I think I pretty much nailed a variation of it. The best part about cooking is that you can always sub out ingredients you don’t have and typically end up with something just as good even if you don’t have the original items required! I will definitely be putting this in rotation and I hope you do to! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/0247638a-2b2c-4cfa-80ec-56f4bd2a9441/detox+salmon+salad+1.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Start out with a big salad bowl I love big salads in big bowls because you can throw it all in then cut it up and mix it all around so all the flavors mix up perfectly. We have this set of glass nesting bowls but also love Rachel Ray’s multipurpose bowls as they’re great to have for all kinds of thing around the house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/627abdc2-6cdd-4c9b-93d5-d111d575adec/detox+salmon+salad+2.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Add in a pre shredded cabbage mix Save yourself time and effort and buy a big bag of pre shredded cabbage. This is great because you get a number of different flavors and colors all in one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1648d928-15e4-4952-b6b8-d7cb40a50676/detox+salmon+salad+3.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Add in a small handful of chopped almonds If you can, go for raw and sprouted almonds for the most nutritional bang for your buck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/c7d4db6c-f72e-40b4-aba1-49dd38603168/detox+salmon+salad+4.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Add in a small handful of sunflower seeds Same as the almonds, go for raw and sprouted sunflower seeds for better nutritional benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/07218997-9781-4ddf-a7f5-677f0fc43567/detox+salmon+salad+5.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Add in chopped parsley or cilantro The beauty of cooking is that you can easily swap out what you need with what you have. Erewhon’s label had parsley but I had cilantro and it was great. Cilantro is also highly detoxifying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/85996660-0402-4dc8-b74c-69c3a2a10c31/detox+salmon+salad+6.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Add chunks of roasted sweet potato This is an easy prep you can do in advance if you plan to bring this to work. Having roasted sweet potatoes in the fridge is great to throw into salads and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/fd571e1f-ab4a-48e0-8809-564e9698b64a/detox+salmon+salad+8.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Making a dressing I usually eyeball and taste test dressings. Make a batch of this in a jar, shake it up and keep it in your fridge fo the week! The ginger adds in an extra kick of flavor. But here is my best assumption on quantities: 2 tbs olive oil 2 tbs apple cider vinegar 1 tsp raw honey 1 tbs dijon mustard 1-2 tsp grated ginger Salt and pepper to taste https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b81c6086-eb6c-4c54-84cc-c73ec84f1ef7/detox+salmon+salad+9.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Dress your salad Start with a little and add more as you need! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/93a030d9-9a6a-415e-a9ef-6d0d928703bf/detox+salmon+salad+10.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Add your wild salmon For this salad I used leftover salmon from the night before - I recommend you do too! Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle a little olive oil and salt/pepper and roast for 15-20 minutes. I prefer my salmon more medium rare. For this specific salad I heated the salmon up in the oven again for about 5 minutes but when I ate it on the plane it was room temp and still great. Perfect for weekday lunches! If you can, go for wild salmon. Even organic salmon has tons of additives and if you do a little research on how organic salmon is raised it will not be appealing. Opt for froze salmon filets or treating yourself to fresh occasionally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/d530876d-97b0-4aa0-8c15-a85254c49f84/detox+salmon+salad+11.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Add silverware and admire your salad! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6152f5fe-e0eb-43bd-bdf3-78b36165c933/detox+salmon+salad+13.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Cut it up and toss it around I love lots of flavor in each bite so take a minute to mix it all together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4e7c794c-5b4e-4509-95b8-99a4329a8652/detox+salmon+salad+12.JPG Conscious Living - Erewhon’s Salmon Detox Salad - Most importantly, enjoy!

We caught up for a little bit and then took the long way and walked to Love Yoga. This yoga studio used to have a Montauk location so I know a few of the teachers. It’s great and so are all the teachers. Afterwards, we walked home, cleaned up and met our other friends at The Great White for dinner. It’s very chic, light Californian flare. We sat outside under the heat lamps and then strolled home under the Venice sign. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1673304773199-4RL9G10NNLUQAMR3KAZU/post+venice+beach+run+.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend in Venice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1673304713293-HHPNCSZQVBJZTDRLQZ3H/venice+beach+run+views.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend in Venice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1673305087915-QF78LEO607VMRBK2Q1GI/santa+monica+pier.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend in Venice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/084ada46-da4e-4805-ac91-a41c0e055330/strawberry+glaze+smoothie.jpg Conscious Living - A Weekend in Venice - Saturday Breakfast Saturday was dedicated to our friend who is expecting a baby. We hosted a baby shower for her at Crash Acting. On our way we stopped by Erewhon Market which is known for its amazing (and over priced) selection of organic food and smoothies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ca5d2243-50b0-4951-ba4f-f93048d30e2e/erewhon+smoothie.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend in Venice I got the Strawberry Glaze skin smoothie also known as the Hailey Bieber smoothie. It was delicious and beautiful. But the “glaze” is a mix of strawberries (totally fine) and simple syrup which is definitely not good for your gut. And if it’s not good for your gut then it’s not good for your skin. So was it fun to try? Yes, would I recommend on the regular? No. Also, it was $18… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b2eda83d-0a18-4209-be28-1342d9af8c0b/coffee+at+intelgentsia.JPG Conscious Living - A Weekend in Venice - Sunday Sunday I woke up early again because of the time difference from NYC.

Luckily the skateboard I had bought for my son at Arbor fit decent in my carry on. On my way to the airport I made one more stop at Erewhon to pick up lunch for the plane. I got the Salmon Detox salad, puffed water lily seeds, and a gf/rsf brownie.

It’s one of my favorite ways to pack in all kinds of colorful veggies, clean out my fridge, and nourish myself with foods that make me feel good. In the winter, I definitely need a heartier salad with some cooked grains and/or veggies to ground me a bit more. Keep reading for one of my go to combos right now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3c404334-8d62-423e-9a30-feede3a32861/winter+salad+1.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Start with lettuce Really anything works but in this instance I did mixed greens. You could also do arugula, spinach, baby gem, or a mix of all of them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/28e9542f-24f9-4e02-8dd3-0206289fd6bd/winter+salad+2.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Throw in a handful of fruit I’ve been doing either pomegranate seeds, pears or blood orange slices because that’s what is in season. But if you don’t have that apples or strawberries would work well too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/34edef0b-b68a-435c-8b97-6f2419df8f8c/winter+salad+3.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Add chopped red onion I love red onion but a little goes a long way. Pro tip: slice the onion in half and chop one half and leave the other half in tact so you can use it how you want another day (thin slice, chop more, etc). This will save you prep time in the future! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/efcf39be-133f-4f2f-b3e4-da933299edbf/winter+salad+4.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Add a starchy vegetable I love roasted butternut squash. I could eat it every day in the winter. Whenever I roast some I always do a big batch so I have some in the fridge for salads another day. If you want to save time, buy it pre chopped and then cut the pieces a bit smaller (you’ll have more in each bite of your salad!). To make: toss with olive oil and s/p. Roast at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes flipping halfway through. I like to do the first 20 minutes on the bottom rack then after I flip them switch to the middle rack so they don’t get too toasty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f1f19957-dd88-440f-9ce4-cf66497dd997/winter+salad+5.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Add nuts for crunch I love a candied nut in a salad. It’s the perfect mix of crunch and sweet. This is my favorite recipe for Candied Walnuts - make a big batch and store them in an airtight container (I love Weck Jars) and you’ll be good for a while. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/31f184ca-0d48-44f5-8d3b-7ed065b22971/winter+salad+6.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Add some feta cheese I love feta because of it’s sweet/salty-ness. It’s also typically made from sheep/goat cheese so it’s much more digestible. I don’t eat a lot of dairy anymore because it can be rather inflammatory but opting for sheep/goat plus if you can find grass fed it actually is a great choice (Mt. Vikos it’s a great!). Often “fake cheese” is loaded with crap ingredients that in my opinion aren’t worth eating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5fcbeb07-57f4-4ec0-b975-15d9d9520a34/winter+salad+7.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Add your protein Adding protein to your salad is how you will stay full, keep your blood sugar stable, and add more flavor/nutrients to it. I love using chicken from the night before to make it quick and easy. My current fav is Sam Sifton’s Miso Chicken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/63e77211-b004-4891-ba44-43de14d205a7/winter+salad+8.JPG Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Add your dressing I never buy store bought dressings I think because I have PTSD from eating dressings like Heinz as a kid. I always make them and it’s so easy, cheaper, and better for you. What I’ve been using for salads lately I got from Half Baked Harvest: 1 tbsp fig preserves 1/3 cup olive oil 1/4 balsamic vinegar Put it all in a jar, shake it up, and store it in your fridge. It’ll keep for a few weeks just fine. I reuse the dressing containers from my Sakara meals to carry portion it out easy for work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b69ee1c6-302e-4047-8f19-d907b055d3e5/winter+salad+9.jpg Conscious Living - The Heartiest Winter Salad - Pack it up and you’re ready to go I always use glass containers to store my food because they’re better and safer for you. I love these containers because they snap shut and won’t leak. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/shakshuka-with-extra-greens monthly 0.5 2023-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/2005003e-453c-4580-8f6b-08e48f7feb64/shakshuka.JPG Conscious Living - Shakshuka with Extra Greens - Shakshuka is one of my favorite dishes It is the coziest meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I originally founds this recipe by Melissa Clark from NYT Cooking but I’ve upped the nutrition content by adding a bunch of chopped spinach for extra greens and added a few other mindful tweaks. This dish originated in Northern Africa but many cultures have adopted this dish. It’s full of flavor and I hope you love! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ced553f9-2e4a-4890-aef4-d27376894615/shakshuka+2.JPG Conscious Living - Shakshuka with Extra Greens https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/31-days-of-consciousness monthly 0.5 2023-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4c00a59b-a72e-4c1e-856e-a0f9fff3c9b6/31+days+of+consciousness.jpg Conscious Living - Start your 2023 with 31 Days of Consciousness - 31 Days of Conscious Choices This blog is a list of 31 different things you can try this month to start your year off that are tried and true.

Giving someone the opportunity to take care of their mind and body is a gift that will keep on giving. I have a special year long membership at $175 (normally $240) or you can opt for a gift certificate and give the person the option of what their pilates commitment style is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/781e2ca6-3bde-4f74-8f54-40bedd91f170/Sleekform+August+Editorial+Lifestyle+Web-50.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Sleekform Ergonomic Chair You’ve heard me talk about this chair before and that’s because it’s amazing! It helps you sit at a better angle that way your hips and back aren’t overly cramped after hours of sitting. This has been a game changer for me sitting at my desk running my business. Whomever you gift this to, their back will thank you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/073f21af-8ab4-4ab9-a177-ae3d44015fe9/nick+cave+yoga+mat.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Nick Cave Yoga Mat I have this mat in my NYC apartment and love it. It’s so happy and has a good amount of squish so your spine is protected nicely during our rolling exercises. If you have someone in your life that is drawn to pilates and art this would be for them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b308f34d-5043-4dc2-aff4-45930781d950/sakara+holiday+popcorn.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Sakara Holiday Popcorn This stuff is amazing. It’s like the popcorn trio you ate as a kid but 10x as good. Its dairy and refined sugar free yet full of flavor. It is the perfect hostess or foodie gift!

It was started by Katy Perry after she became a mom and wanted something to help her destress that wasn’t mind altering. This is refreshing, delicious, and calming without the effects or sugar that alcohol brings. This is the perfect gift for someone who is conscious about their alcohol consumption or even for yourself to have on hand in the fridge. I love that it comes in a wine bottle shape so it still feels festive even though there’s no alcohol! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/24db9c99-8df5-4eaf-a65b-34d162564b40/IMG_2289.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Fancy Peasant Olive Oil This olive oil is life changing. It is so noticeably different in taste. I am addicted to using it and love the packaging. It’s perfect for anyone who loves to spend time in the kitchen - they will appreciate this gift with out a doubt! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/d68cd4d0-ef90-4f52-9d16-8c74ad4f899e/hot+mess+roller.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Hot Mess Ice Roller I love this thing. It is amazing for to de-puff your face, wake you up, smooth lines, and have your serums/creams absorb better. I use this every morning. If you know anyone who is into their beauty routine, this would be for them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/8ebd83f7-b19d-45c2-8d51-652e2f98a48d/IMG_2328.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Clare V x EMC Every Mother Counts is a charity that means a lot to me. It brings birth equality and safety to both mother’s and their babies. They do meaningful work around the world. They have a number of brand partnerships that make some really great gifts. I love the sweatshirts by Clare V - where 30% of the sales go straight to EMC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/262ef95d-f0e6-4135-b5ce-9c914b965fdd/IMG_2330.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Therabody Compression Boots These have been on my wishlist because they are amazing. They help your body to recover and destress leaving you ready for your next workout. We are very much hoping Santa brings them to us this year! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/98b24677-8463-4991-bb26-8f68abff181b/H22_L_T-CURHT_SD8255_B-CURHT_SD3452_1257.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Gifting: 2022 - Beyond Yoga Spacedye I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - Beyond Yoga is beyond my favorite. It is so soft, flattering, and has such great colors/styles. It is my daily uniform in a rainbow of colors.

They are used over and over in my classes and are not only the perfect add on but also look so chic when not in use. I’ve used a number of other weights and these are by far the most comfortable. These would pair perfectly with a gift certificate to my classes!

I spend hours a day working on my cell phone and it is essential to my success. You can also argue that cell phones are a wild distraction and time suck for not only the minutes of our day but our energy, emotions, and more. Over the last year or so I have set some firm boundaries with my cell phone that have really helped me improve my quality of life but still keep me connected and efficient. I highly recommend these tactics and working to implement them one at a time into your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1e935025-ef1e-4410-8061-52923e546cea/sleekform+chair.jpg Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Sleekform Ergonomic Desk Chair Sitting is literally the new smoking. It is so bad for you. But, it’s inevitable if you work, go to school, etc. I found this chair last spring and I can’t tell you how much I love this chair. It is ergonomic so you sit better, can easily change your position, gently rock so you’re always moving a little. It makes a huge difference in how your hips and back feel after a long period of sitting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1d41be1f-b930-4172-a10c-a1ff75dd9a0f/5EDB0432-8796-4E95-917E-0865B4E1E681.jpeg Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Parks Sweatsuit Set I love this set! It’s so cute and so comfortable. Even better, every purchase donates money to our National Parks around the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/40157dee-65bb-4492-b47a-4ab8270e5ed9/vitruvi+x+mejuri.JPG Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Vitruvi x Mejuri Aromatherapy We love aromatherapy at our house. My son has fallen asleep to lavender every day of his life. I believe in the power of essential oils and it helps when your diffuser is beautiful too! Virtuvi is known for making great diffusers (we’ve tried a few different brands and this is by far the best in our opinion) and when they teamed up with Mejuri Jewelery, they’ve created something that is equally beautiful as it is useful. I love the gold color and it’s great because it’s cordless if you want to move it around with you while at home or work! Their Sleep Oil is our pick for night time and Boost for day time to get energized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/fcceff17-22ae-4c0a-be7b-380c9cf3c54c/sweet+laurel.jpg Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - Sweet Laurel Baking Mixes These are amazing! They are delicious, refined sugar free, gluten free, and perfect for a special occasion. I made the chocolate cake for my husband’s birthday and it was delicious. My son loved the pancakes and I can’t wait to try the scones. I highly recommend ordering this for your next special occasion. If you do make the cake, I used this refined sugar free chocolate frosting recipe (I used grass fed butter instead of margarine) and it was the perfect combo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/089f74fd-8de4-484d-8f57-7eccafe9cc1d/city+of+likes.JPG Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - City of Likes by Jenny Mollen This book is ridiculous and a great read all at the same time. It’s also not a bad reminder that social media is equally a fun yet unrealistic place to hang out. If you need a light read to unwind at the end of the day, this would be it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4fdeb30f-2bcd-493e-a25e-e2cf95a9de8c/57C4654F-DA2A-4D8A-B8D5-BD16B14ABB1E.jpeg Conscious Living - October’s Conscious Covets - NSDR Guided Meditation If you’re at all like me, I often hit a slump in the afternoon. I don’t generally drink more than one coffee a day so I try to reach for other options to help give me a boost. This meditation is a “Non Sleep Deep Rest” protocol that really helps your mind/body unwind, reset, and get you ready for the rest of the day. I feel a significant difference after going through this 10 minute series and can’t recommend it enough. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/xqxmc3xal5suhkdmfjoa3iqcnf60c5 monthly 0.5 2023-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/bb2cbd43-b889-43b6-83ac-71976c544de6/IMG_9165_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - The biggest change I made in September… Was cutting out all alcohol. After listening to Huberman Lab’s podcast back in August I decided it was time to take a break from drinking. I don’t drink much anyways but aside from being pregnant I hadn’t ever taken a real break from occasionally consuming alcohol. I have committed myself to at least 60 days as Huberman suggests that after not drinking for 2-6 months you can reset your neuro-plasticity. The number one thing I can tell you about this experience is how much better my mental state and mood is. I have less stress and anxiety as a result and feel significantly more balanced on the regular. If you haven’t done something like this I highly recommend. I feel a big shift in myself and feel like I am resetting habits. I’m not sure that I can say I will never drink again but what I can tell you is that I plan to keep up with my new habits after my hiatus. Keep reading for a link to the podcast I am referring to as well as the things I loved this month that coincided with this personal choice! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/70e30b64-60d6-4114-a2ce-e97cae7a7660/energy+effervescents.jpg Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Sakara Life Energy Effervescents Sakara recently came out with the most delicious effervescent drink mix to inspire energy, enhance mood, improve focus, and to support mental performance. Most importantly, these are easy to throw in your bag for when you’re on the go (although I keep my studio stocked with these), they taste great, actually work and aren’t filled with any junk ingredients or sugar. Adding this in during the afternoon has been a nice add to keep things interesting. If you’re new to Sakara, be sure to use xoAPP at checkout for 20% off your first order! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/731a4818-f6dd-4e4f-88b2-52c4ac92d97d/IMG_9018_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - De Soi Non Alcoholic Beverages Katy Perry launched this drink line after having a baby and wanting something to drink that was calming but also non alcoholic. This is so refreshing and has a nice vibe to it without the sugar and negative effects of alcohol. She has a number of flavors that come in both cans and wine bottles (perfect for a party gift!). My favorite flavor is the Golden Hour shown here. Serve it in a fancy glass to make it extra special. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/85f82f43-e66d-4611-a53d-4ef9839c62ae/red+light+therapy.jpg Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Red Light Therapy at Restore Biohacking has been a thing for a while now. There are so many ways to help hack yourself into better health and wellness. During this last month of no alcohol, I have been seeking out ways to make me feel better. Restore is a chain around the country that has affordable ways to bio hack yourself into better health. I tried the red light therapy followed by the cryotherapy and it was amazing! I was in and out in 30 minutes, wasn’t all hot, sweaty or wet and then went on with my day. They have an intro package and memberships you can buy to make it affordable. It’s a franchise so they likely have a location near you! I highly recommend checking this out as a way to level up your self care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e1906b2e-04fb-4dbb-8ef0-902012b346ba/IMG_9152.JPG Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Toe Spacers My feet have been asking for extra attention lately. If you’ve ever taken a class or session with me, you know I am obsessed with the feet. The feet can tell the story of your whole body, they can cause injury and can also help injuries heal. I used to use toe separators but took a break but with book season upon us I decided it was time to invest in a pair and give my feet the attention they deserve. Pair them with legs up the wall and you’ve given your whole body a lot of care with very little effort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/db46eec4-ca7f-4a86-9faf-d946354cc6a2/huberman+lab+alcohol+podcast.jpg Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - Huberman Lab Podcast I found Dr. Huberman and his podcast a few months ago and truthfully, I’m hooked! He’s full of great insight on all kinds of things, is incredibly smart and revered. I am actually going to see him speak in November at the Beacon Theater here in NYC. This podcast about the effects of alcohol was very eye opening for me and was the impetus for me to take a hiatus from alcohol. I highly recommend listening to this and his other episodes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/cca1655d-35d8-4e17-94f2-17c63df0f846/the+book+thief.jpg Conscious Living - September’s Conscious Covets - The Book Thief I might be late to the party on this book but I loved it. It was a beautiful and sad story of Nazi Germany. The way it is written is so interesting you really have a great perspective of what is going on. For a few years I was too tired to read being a new mom. Now reading has become one of my favorite ways to relax and settle my mind at the end of the day in lieu of a glass of wine. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/set-yourself-up-for-success monthly 0.5 2022-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f83e0ed4-8782-49b0-823e-90baa74c82d2/IMG_8201.JPG Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - That back to school feeling… Never really goes away. Whether you have kids or not the fall always feels like a time to get back into the swing of things. The lazy feeling of hot summer days is quickly gone and off to the races we go. In order to get through this I think it’s all about being prepared and setting myself up for success. Below you’ll find what I’m doing, cooking, scheduling, and prepping to set myself up for a great fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/d355fe14-53a6-4112-8691-2d74eeb87826/sakara+life+picnic.JPG Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - Sakara Life for Easy Nutrition Sakara food delivery service has been life changing for me these last 2 years. It enables me to not think about my nutrition, stay energized, and have more time for all the other things I need do. This fall they are doing a 30 day reset to kick off the season with a commitment ourselves and be your best. I too am doing this to take one less thing off my plate and have food ready to go for me as I navigate the next few weeks. What I love about Sakara the most is that it’s not a diet, or a cleanse, or anything extreme and unsustainable. Rather, it is about self commitment and self care.

After being away from it all summer I am so glad to have it back in my life. You can find all kinds of ways to sit on it, prop up a leg, etc. that are great for not tightening your hips and back. Because it rocks it makes you much more posture aware and I have felt a huge difference in how I feel after a few hours working away at my desk. There is a saying: “sitting is the new smoking” and it’s literally horrible for you. This chair helps soften the blow on hours of sitting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4282a89c-f743-4feb-9b4b-9cd1298ce8fa/IMG_8037_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - Homemade Body Scrub My husband makes a french press style coffee every morning. Personally, I am more of a triple cappuccino kind of gal but he loves the process of gridnding his own coffee, etc. It’s a morning meditation for him. What he doesn’t love is cleaning out the pot. I love a good body scrub and indulge in them from time to time. It dawned on me the other day while doing the nice wifely thing to do and cleaning out the french press, was what about all those coffee scrubs I’ve spent money on. Why couldn’t I just use the old coffee grounds for a homemade scrub? Well, I did just that and it turned out great! My skin felt amazing after and this will definitely be my go to moving forward. To make: 1 cup coffee grounds (I used the grounds from an old pot of coffee but you could grind fresh!) If using old grounds I did rinse them in a mesh strainer so they wouldn’t be too messy. 1 cup sugar. I don’t cook or bake with refined sugar anymore so this is actually a great way to get rid of any lingering sugar in your cabinet and not let it go to waste! 1/2 coconut oil 5-10 drops peppermint oil - this will make it so refreshing in the morning! Mix it all together and store in an airtight container. It should last for 2-3 weeks unless you use it all before then! I would suggest using this and then shaving your legs - they will come out so smooth and soft. It is a bit messy in the shower so I would recommend using this the day you’re also planning to have your bathroom cleaned as well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5197ac67-c093-4af0-9edd-5e4a351d149b/bend+over+backwards.jpg Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - Literally Bend Over Backwards for your Workouts Exercise is literally what keeps me sane. Pilates is what keeps me feeling and looking good. To make sure I am able to consistently get my workouts in I do two things: schedule them in advance by making a plan the weekend before. I also typically workout at 6am before my son wakes and the day starts. This ensures I’ve gotten some kind of movement in. Sometimes it’s only 30 minutes or so and this is ok! Some movement is better than no movement - every workout doesn’t need to be 45-60 minutes, I promise you! If you want guidance with this be sure to check out my On Demand Library where I post a 5 day suggested workout schedule each week. This will help you stay committed to yourself, feeling good, looking better and taking the most out of your membership! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/99d0b596-f170-4ec2-aa97-d4524bc2ccb5/IMG_8125_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - Silicone Reusable Pouches for Applesauce My son loves applesauce. It’s very easy to make and we recently bought these great silicone pouches to serve it in to make it an easy on the go snack. The pre-made pouches are convenient but they’re horrible for the environment, are in toxic plastic, and often have excess unnecessary ingredients like excess sugar. When I make it, I do a big batch and freeze some for when Lincoln’s in the mood for it. I love using these 3oz silicone storage containers from when Lincoln was a baby. (they’re also great for freezing sauces like pesto, etc!) Applesauce: peel, slice and core 6-8 apples toss in a large pan with a splash of water and cinnamon cover with a lid and let them simmer and soften for about 10 minutes transfer them to a blender or use a hand mixer/smasher to puree store for up to 4 days in an airtight container or freeze for the future! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/0a09f22a-894a-4101-9179-b2da62e5029f/IMG_8182+2.jpg Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - Planet Box Lunchboxes These lunch boxes are great. They have different sized compartments, little separators to keep things contained, are light, and dishwasher safe. Not to mention, not plastic! Bonus is that they’re big enough that I can use them too for lunch at work. My son and I have talked extensively about his lunch box requests for the fall. I love that he’s so excited about what’s going inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/97258ba8-e854-4eb9-a374-794dd0e436f7/buterfingers.JPG Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - “Healthy” Butterfingers I can’t take credit for this recipe but I can shepherd you to it! Jenny Mollen is not only funny but also a great inspiration for kid’s snack ideas. She has a lunch box book coming out soon called Dictator Lunches and I have pre-ordered it! She recently posted this recipe - Lincoln and I made them and can’t stop eating them! What I love about homemade treats is that they can be very good but not full of the junk you find in “healthy” kids snacks. Butterfingers: 1 cup organic corn flakes gently ground into small bits 1/3 cup maple syrup 1 cup smooth peanut butter mix it all together and roll into little nuggets freeze for 10 minutes melt 1 tsp coconut oil and 1 cup chocolate (I love Hu Kitchen) dip the nuggets into the chocolate and freeze for about an hour Enjoy!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/cd7e4332-53f5-4c89-89a4-970848f1b9ca/what+i%27m+cooking.JPG Conscious Living - Set Yourself Up for Success - Because abs are made in the kitchen Cooking is a form of meditation for me. I love it because I’m spending my time doing something that is good for myself and my family. It is also in my opinion one of the best ways to find food freedom. When you make your own food, even if it’s pasta, cookies, pizza, etc. it’s still 10x healthier than what you’d find in a restaurant. Cooking at our house is a family affair and a way for us to connect and spend time together. We try to sit down as a family and eat together, screen free, as many nights a week as we can. Check out the list below for some of my favorite quick and easy weeknight dinners! Many of these yield leftovers for the next day (my favorite!) but also many are from some of my favorite food bloggers. Kimchi Tuna Salad White bean and kale tomato soup Spicy, crunchy shrimp tacos with mango salsa Sheet pan chicken with zucchini and basil Veggie loaded enchiladas One pan orzo with spinach and feta Sheet pan gochujang chicken and roasted vegetables Creamy white chicken chili Vegan chocolate pudding And, in case you need some breakfast inspiration check out my blog on my favorite breakfast go to’s! I hope you enjoy these recipes! These are all staples in our house and make them often in the dinner time rotation. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/chocolate-pudding monthly 0.5 2022-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5a3be2b7-b3c8-432c-8770-cd38831e617a/IMG_7459_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - Vegan Chocolate Pudding - I love this recipe! This chocolate pudding is so delicious and truly hits the spot. It’s made with good clean ingredients so you feel satiated. Most importantly, it won’t leave you on a sugar crash or craving something “else” sweet later. Which is something that I often find with “healthy” treats. This is a rendition on the NYT Cooking’s Oat Milk Chocolate Pudding that I have tweaked to my taste and ingredient preferences. Make it for a dinner party and serve in a beautiful glass for a lovely ending to dinner. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/yk38pjn7kj7ekyco8iyy1gd1hv4knf monthly 0.5 2022-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/862bc4ea-d9f4-4b87-86c7-e25d1cf8d26a/20F64469-5D6E-4282-AF88-C58F126509EB.jpeg Conscious Living - Tuna Tartar - Tuna Tartar is one of my favorite treats to make. In Montauk, we have fresh, local tuna caught daily and it’s the best. Since tuna is such a large fish, it shouldn’t be eaten too often which is why I consider this a treat. I love to serve this as an appetizer and then use the leftovers the next day as a “poke” bowl of sorts. I have adapted this recipe over the years and serve it a few different ways. Keep reading to learn more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4524d4bb-a452-4d42-a79b-19f8f7c4e7fb/IMG_5809_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - Tuna Tartar - As the perfect appetizer This recipe is perfect for serving at a party as an appetizer. It’s visually pleasing, relatively quick and simple to make, and I think is rather impressive! I like to pair it with rice crackers which is a nice touch as this will make the whole dish gluten free which is relevant to many these days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/62e65774-6602-4d25-8b5a-6f0d5d5f4888/IMG_7439_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - Tuna Tartar - An inspired "Poke” bowl This is not a true poke bowl but it’s definitely inspired by one. I love using the left over tuna from the night before to make this for lunch the next day. I cook up some sushi rice, thinly slice some cucumber and toss them with rice wine vinegar, slice up some avocado and voila you have one more meal out of this beautiful dish. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/augusts-conscious-covets monthly 0.5 2022-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/56a0cfa0-52a3-49fd-8d02-7521a034a7b9/august%27s+conscious+covets.JPG Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - This month was all about things sweet, spicy and definitely juicy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/fffc9479-f41f-4cd5-852b-56b58f025b40/IMG_7421_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Pickled Strawberries This is great if you have strawberries that are about to go “bunk” as we call it in our house. To make: Fill a mason jar with halved strawberries Fill it up 1/3 of the way with white wine or apple cider vinegar Fill it the rest of the way up with water Add 1 tbsp coconut sugar A healthy pinch of sea salt A big pinch of peppercorns Shake, refrigerate and give them a try after about 2 hours! I toasted some of my favorite fermented bread by Night Owl Baker (she ships!), spread some Jalapeno cream cheese from Monty’s (she ships too!), layered the strawberries and then drizzled a little bit of local honey with some Maldon sea salt. This was a flavor explosion and a perfect morning breakfast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/dad4cbdf-b935-4679-8b9f-e2719d5c8b6f/IMG_7186_jpg.JPG Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - “Letter” Necklace from Suzie Kondi I picked this up at her store in Amagansett out in the Hamptons. She doesn’t actually sell these on her website but I am sure her store would ship one to you! This turquoise was the only color option so really all you need to decide is which letter means the most to you! I have a special affinity to the color turquoise because it is also my son’s birthstone but even prior to that it was a color I have always been drawn to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/166485df-d878-4928-91bf-cb7c427ec01a/IMG_7536.jpg Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Jennifer Fisher Spicy Salt Put this on everything! But especially perfectly cooked boiled eggs (my fav is a 5 minute egg!) It adds a perfect mix of flavor, salt and spice to whatever you’re sprinkling it on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/cc11cd74-c7d1-4302-9c57-d975691ee53d/IMG_7540.jpg Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - My favorite summertime pilates prop The best part about the Equipt U-Wraps is how they literally give your workouts instant spice. By adding them to your wrists or ankles you’ve instantly upped the effort and therefore the results you’re going to get from your workouts. Especially if you’re tight on time which I find I always am given how much we try to fit into a summer day. Bonus, once your workout is done, leave them on for a little extra oomf to whatever you do next like I am in this photo. Let me tell you, lifting a watering can with extra weight on your wrists is a great way to multitask!

It is a juicy story about two different kinds of influencers - Tanya Zuckerbrot and Emily Gellis. It’s a very juicy story and the way it’s produced makes it a very entertaining listen. Additionally, it’s a great study on diet culture, social media, and more. I very much enjoyed it and can’t wait for what is hopefully a second season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/28dc7be9-a4b1-4aac-9b1e-99af74189b43/IMG_7013_jpg.jpg Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Spicy Watermelon Basil Margarita Back in June I got very into making watermelon juice (check out the recipe in this blog here!) In August, I had the pleasure of attending a mixology class with Casamigos Tequila at my friend and student’s house, Katie Couric! It was a blast and we made some delicious drinks. This one was by far my favorite. To Make: In a cocktail shake mix: 1.5 Oz Watermelon Juice .75 oz Lime Juice (I put the juice of 1 lime in) 1-2 Slices of jalapeno 5 basil leaves 2 Oz Tequila Muddle it all, top with ice, shake and pour over a glass filled with ice. If you’d like to make it a little extra fancy and spicy, first rim the glass with a lime and dip it in Tajin and/or salt. At this party, they added a little gold dust into the spicy rim as well! I love edible glitter and have some by Fancy Sprinkles. Cheers and enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/01dfee4a-b67f-419e-b3ec-f9c1258532cf/IMG_7539.jpg Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Nail brush Using a nail brush is the best way to get all the little specks of dirt out from your nails and the crevices of your hands. Use both sides to get the most out of this brush and see the best effects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/c7b61dbf-6e45-46c8-8afe-d0189c9f515f/IMG_7537.jpg Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Hand and Cuticle Scrub After I have used my nail brush to clean out all the dirt, I use this scrub to freshen up my cuticles and hands. It leaves them refreshed and feeling so much better after time in the dirt outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/dac939ce-1048-4bb8-bda1-70829fc02f1c/IMG_7538.jpg Conscious Living - August’s Conscious Covets - Cuticle Oil I love this oil because after a good cleaning and scrub, it basically makes your nails look like they’ve just had a manicure, even if they haven’t. Give a drop to each nail, rub it in and voila your nails look salon finished in just minutes. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/the-1-question-i-am-asked monthly 0.5 2022-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e175e2eb-8ed1-4a5d-bf51-f4ad2d3eef00/%40matteophotographs.DSC_9990+2.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. - Is answered! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/33c2f961-1d0a-4503-b3b0-f2772dafd5ef/%40matteophotographs.DSC_9920+2.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. The number one question I am asked is about the mat I film all of my classes on. It is amazing and is a mat made specifically for pilates workouts. It is firm so it is supportive but also has good cushion for all of your parts. It has a strap which can be great for opposition/support when doing things like the roll up, tree, etc. It has handles which you can do amazing shoulder opening/strengthening with, etc. The best part is that it folds in half so it’s easy to store. This is a custom as well as hand made piece of equipment so that does mean it takes some time and money to procure. But like anything in the wellness space if you invest now, you’ll save yourself money later. So if you are committed to your pilates practice, here are some links to different places that sell this mat. It is well worth it let me tell you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f46f81ab-0ccf-42f3-8c22-d969ce83847b/%40matteophotographs.DSC_0135.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. - What’s the deal with the dowels (handles) and strap? The dowels (wooden handles) are amazing for assisting in chest opening, feedback, and helping to engage your muscles in your body better. In this photo here they gave me leverage to lift my hips but also are opening my shoulders. This kind of work and feedback feels amazing. There is also a strap that is great for support when doing things like the roll up, tree, neck pull, etc. It will help keep your legs anchored but also give you amazing opposition and therefore more length in your body. If you struggle with these rolling exercises using this strap will be a game changer for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/107c3e80-e4cf-4038-841a-e783e2e94561/%40matteophotographs.DSC_9975.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. A few things to note as you continue reading: I am not affiliated with any of these companies. I don’t make a commission off these recommendations and I also can’t make any promises on their behalf! Most brands are very behind in their production so some of these may take up to 40 weeks to be made - you should find this out before you place your order to manage your expectations. The shipping can be a big cost - find out what it is before you order. Depending on where you live, you might be able to pick it up and save yourself some money! While all of these brands are reputable, I have only consistently worked with 2 of them so I cannot vouch for this mat made by others but can tell you that all of these are reputable companies that I feel comfortable to recommend here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1982dd0a-eee8-4be5-9267-2d56047b71b4/%40matteophotographs.DSC_0080.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. - Gratz Pilates Gratz is my favorite pilates equipment manufacteror. At the moment, I think they are also the most behind. They are based out of Philadelphia and have about a 36-40 week wait for most items that aren’t props. So if you are willing to wait, this would be my suggestion for any pilates equipment - this mat and more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/628d9199-9317-48b6-91ff-9658294cbe36/%40matteophotographs.DSC_0077.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. - Pilates Designs Pilates Designs makes the mat I have. I ordered it from them because their wait times at the beginning of the pandemic were a little less and their version is slightly cheaper! The main reason I prefer Gratz over Pilates Designs is for their springs. Since this doesn’t have springs I was more than happy to order this with them. They are also out of Long Island City so I can easily pick up items from them and therefore don’t have to pay for shipping. In addition to this mat I have their small arc barrel and love it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/bb8dab3a-8ba1-40c7-bc20-b19450af7e75/%40matteophotographs.DSC_0253.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. - Balanced Body Balanced Body has been around for a long time. I know them to be consistent in their products and offer different levels of products that therefore offer different levels of pricing. This being said, I do not see different options for their mat. I personally do not own anything by them aside from their circles but do have clients who have various forms of their equipment and have been satisfied. If you are interested in their mats be sure to find out their lead times and shipping costs in advance! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7d62b14b-0543-4359-8ffc-e3c6aca68444/%40matteophotographs.DSC_9936+2.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. - Legacy Pilates I have heard great things about Legacy Pilates. I have also heard their wait times are very low compared to others. They are based out of Turkey and are great at getting back to you on info. I have not ordered from them but have friends who have and they have great things to say from the quality to their customer service. If you do decide to order from them be sure to ask about shipping since it very well may be coming to you from overseas (unless you live near or in Turkey!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ce14e7bb-3365-4ec4-813f-004082a1ac6f/knees+into+chest+3.jpg Conscious Living - The #1 Question I am Asked…. - Not quite ready? If after reading all of this you’re not ready to pull the plug on a true pilates mat, don’t sweat! What’s most important is that you’re moving your body - making it stronger, more mobile and feeling better! If you’d like a more supportive mat that will get to you fast and still support your spine, I recommend this mat instead! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/julys-conscious-covets monthly 0.5 2022-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/597e816f-935c-4c00-99e8-3e0c4efa4fc1/july%27s+conscious+pick.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covet’s July came and went - I can’t believe tomorrow is August 1st! Needless to say, that is because it’s been a great month. Below you’ll find some of my favorite new finds this month. Some of these items would be a great hostess gift if you have summer parties scheduled between now and the end of the summer! Or frankly a great gift to yourself ❤️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ed2c05c6-1e23-44f2-bb3b-94b026de3330/sakara+chocolate+smoothie.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covet’s - Sakara Chocolate Smoothie This ice cold chocolate smoothie has been an afternoon go to for me this summer. It’s cold and chocolatey - what more could you ask for?! It’s made with their signature chocolate powder that is delicious. They’re currently having a friends and family sale so be sure to use xoAPP-FF22 at check out! Chocolate Smoothie: 7-8oz Coffee (I love City of Saints boxed ice coffee) 2-3 oz oat milk (or whatever milk is your preference) 1 sachet of Sakara’s signature chocolate metabolism power 1/2-1 whole frozen banana 1tbsp almond butter Handful of ice cubes Blend on high, pour in a fancy glass and garnish as you’d like! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f8fe0504-c547-47ae-84df-2c5566ef0480/janet+gwen+tumbler.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covet’s - Janet Gwen Rainbow Glass Tumbler I got spammed on social media for this glass tumbler and bought it immediately. She was actually having a sale on “damaged” tumblers so I got this at a discount. I don’t notice any imperfections so if you go to purchase it I would go for the discount! Regardless, let me tell you this was worth the spontaneous purchase! First of all, it is so pretty. Second, it’s great to drink out of! I’ve been loading it up with lots of ice and either lemon/mint or lime/ginger slices. It’s the perfect way to beat the heat with out having a cocktail! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6cc1d74d-47ab-432e-9a63-2f38d9f4f4da/fancy+peasant+olive+oil.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covet’s - Fancy Peasant Olive Oil First of all, this packaging is beautiful. Second of all, it is so delicious. I made the most amazing salad dressing the other night with it and have used it to “finish” a few dishes. I love seeing it sit on my kitchen counter. I will definitely be buying more and gifting others with it as well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/63484c6d-750e-47cb-814c-f745cd07dae5/nemi+snacks.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covet’s - Nemi Cactus Sticks Ok, these are amazing. I am not a big snacker, but sometimes like to have a bit of crunch after my lunchtime salad. My son loved these too and it was a total race to see who could eat more faster. I have only tried this flavor but there’s all kinds so I have already ordered a few different options! If you’re on the fence, reach out to me for my opinion! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/801be222-1514-44b9-937d-8b8b3103c637/7+husbands+of+evelyn+hugo.jpg Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covet’s - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Someone recommended this book to me and I’ve seen it all over the place so I decided to go for it. I am loving it! I have the audio book as those are just easier for me right now in my life. I feel like it’s already a movie it’s so fabulously descriptive and fun to listen to. I highly recommend putting this on your reading list! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7a9e399f-138b-4e5a-bbd1-c29d1785cc52/omorpho+color.JPG Conscious Living - July’s Conscious Covet’s - Omorpho Gravity Sportswear A fitness friend recently introduced me to Omorpho and I love it. It is lightly weighted athletic wear that feels amazing. You feel the difference when you wear it working out and when you take it off you feel free as a bird. The extra weight makes your body work harder and therefore burn more calories. I really love running and boxing in it and can’t recommend it enough! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/junes-conscious-picks monthly 0.5 2022-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/9f26b32a-871f-4006-87eb-92d06a89eec9/june%27s+conscious+picks.JPG Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s All things summer…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6672e64c-37e4-4b23-8a9a-ca1efee55384/IMG_4511.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - Daily Sunscreen right out of the shower Every morning when I get out of the shower I use this. It only has 15 spf but I find I don’t get sunburned typically while at the beach but rather the in between moments in life. Factor in that I am a mom and am more concerned about my son than anything else, I definitely forget to apply sunscreen at the beach. I love this because it gives me a back up for whenever I find myself outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4fba9fd8-e30b-4739-8532-20dbc34fe6fc/IMG_4512.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - Daily sunscreen for my son Obviously my son Lincoln needs sunscreen all day every day as he is now in summer camp for the remainder of the summer. Mineral sunscreen is the cleanest and safest for him and I love Pipette for his needs. It works (he has yet to be burned yet after his first week of camp!) and that’s what is most important. This has a high EWG rating and I love that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/c41c9390-fc51-47d1-a653-b64cfdc4fc37/IMG_4379.JPG Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - Home Made Popsicles My son has been popsicle and ice cream obsessed this summer. And frankly, who isn’t on a hot day? Most of these items are made with way too much sugar and crap ingredients. So, I have been making my own. He happens to love trucks so I ordered these super cute molds and he’s in heaven. The three I’ve made so far and both him and I have loved are: Watermelon Popsicles Blend about 3 cups watermelon chunk, splash of water, juice of one lime and a pinch of salt. Fill the molds and let them freeze for 24 hours. Drink the rest of the juice! Chocolate Banana “Nice Cream” Popsicles Blend 2 cups frozen banana chunks with 1 tablespoon dairy free milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 cup cocoa powder and a handful of chocolate chips. (I love Hu Kitchen!). Fill the molds and let them freeze for about 12-24 hours. If you have left over ice cream line a small dish with parchment paper and scoop the rest in for a cup of “nice cream” another time. Chocolate Coconut Milk Popsicles Blend 1 can of coconut milk (try to find one with out any gums used), 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and 2 tsp vanilla. Fill your molds and freeze for 4+ hours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/a37d2108-8ea9-4bcf-af1c-d2d9271c9590/IMG_4513.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - My Favorite Rose Rose in the summertime is my favorite. It is so light and refreshing - perfect for a hot day. I don’t drink that much but when I do I always try to pick a clean and sustainably made choice. I love this rose by La Spinetta. The grapes are grown organically and are sustainably farmed. Because it’s made in a quality way, it also won’t leave you feeling like crap the next day (which is the main reason I don’t drink often, I always want to feel my best!). I also love the label and always call my wine store asking if they have the “Rhino rose” - the label is a photo of Durer’s Rhinoceros wood carving. I highly recommend checking it out at your local wine store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/daae7f0e-6ca3-4d51-bf81-cbf408e7eccb/Dram+apothecary.JPG Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - Dram Apothecary Dram sparkling waters are my favorite and frequent go to. They are so delicious, refreshing, and are the perfect no sugar, no calorie, and non alcoholic way to cool off and relax on a hot summer day. I love all their flavors so I can’t recommend just one! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/b84c4aae-8718-4bb8-994b-a81a22f4eab0/water+bottle.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - APP Refillable Water Bottle If you’ve been following along with me for any amount of time you know I am all about refillable options and ditching plastic. So obviously, an APP water bottle is the choice here! If you want to make your water extra refreshing in the summer try one of these combos with ice to help hydrate, up your vitamin intake and cool you off. Sliced lemon and mint. Sliced cucumber and lime. Sliced ginger and lemon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/ed895ea4-af2f-4c3d-9d78-252ea53d77dd/beyond+yoga+on+baby+chair.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - Beyond Yoga Biker Short Sets Beyond Yoga is beyond my favorite. It is so soft, flattering, comfortable, breathable and more. It’s basically the only thing I wear. Their biker shorts are the perfect length and pair perfect with their tops, a slouchy sweatshirt, etc. I own them in many colors!

But you don’t have to be a runner to use it. If you’re hiking or going for walks come summer time this is the perfect size for your phone, keys, and a little bit of money. It fits perfect on your hips and stays put. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/68a5fea8-452b-45ad-8557-640ee1d618c8/IMG_4534.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - The Personal Librarian This book is so good! It’s a great story on life in NYC during the early 1900’s and also gives such insight to what life was like for women, people of color, the art scene and more. Ironically, I cater waitered the Morgan Library many times in college! So it has had a little extra special feeling to it for me. Regardless, I highly recommend this book as it’s got something for everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/20d84f79-e75a-4fb8-ac79-9e94225c25b0/body+politic+podcast.jpg Conscious Living - June’s Conscious Covet’s - Katie Couric’s Abortion Series: The Body Politic This series is amazing and so important. It goes in on all the parts of abortion. From simply saying the word to actually going into clinics that were barely standing because of the pending Roe v. Wade case. I highly recommend listening to this! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/conscious-recovery monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/6c4b973b-bd75-442f-b4bd-7d817349fed0/Organic+spa+magazine.JPG Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery Last week I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel for all things fitness tech and recovery for Organic Spa Magazine. I figured I would put together a blog for you all on this important pillar of fitness.

It’s a great way mobilize your body pre workout if you’re feeling tight. It’s also great for the end of the day when you’re sitting watching tv, relaxing at home and unwinding your mind and body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/fcd90ac8-f666-4aff-b5d6-1e3ee44a0759/in+the+bath.JPG Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery - Epsom Salt Baths Baths are a great way to relax your mind and your body. Epsom salts are a great way to soothe sore muscles and re-establish possible mineral depletion. I take a bath 1-2 times a week as a way to destress and care for my body. I often put a meditation or audio book on so I can relax, listen, and put thoughts from the day away. Sometimes I use plain and simple epsom salts with no fancy additions. Some of the other salts I love that have other healing properties are the ones by Goop and Urban Remedy. When shopping for bath salts, make sure there are no fillers or chemicals. You should read the labels to make sure what you’re buying is truly healing and not full of crap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/805313fb-25ac-4030-a9dc-cc07336f52d8/body+roller.JPG Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery - Body Roller at Stretch’d in NYC This is by far my favorite recovery tech piece. The body roller helps with lymphatic drainage, soreness, and mobility. It was essential in my marathon training. In this photo I had just come from my 1/2 marathon! I booked the appointment on my way home from the race. It feels amazing on your whole body. How it works is there is a step by step video you follow and it takes you through your whole lower body. The roller massages and “rolls” out your muscles one part at a time. It lasts about 30 minutes and you literally feel like a new person when it’s done! The roller itself is very heavy (about 400 pounds!) and very expensive (about $5,000) so I pay per use at the stretching studio (Stretch’d) around the corner from my house. More and more places are popping up with this device so be sure to check out in your area! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f509b70a-a55e-4c75-b3b3-2020f01fd373/higher+dose.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery - Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket This blanket is the hug your body needs on a cold winter night. Sweatingis a great way to help your body detox and the warmth is a great way to help your body recover. I love lying in this for 30-45 minutes on the highest setting. I always let it warm up for about 10-15 minutes before I get in so it’s nice and toasty from the get go. Make sure you wear socks, long pants and long sleeves so you don’t get burned. I place a towel under met to catch sweat and keep it clean. I place a pillow under my head and knees for support. I prefer to use this on my bed as the floor can get hard on my body after a while. It is an investment but definitely one your whole family can use and is a great biohacking tool! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/43c17240-9b20-4410-a66a-c9384c540995/bongers.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery - Bongers Bongers are amazing for relieving pain and tension in the body. You literally “bong” your muscles and it helps increase circulation (aka increase blood flow/recovery) and recovery. These are great for getting things going pre workout or at the end of the day as a way to “work out” tension, tightness, and more. Use them on yourself or lie on your stomach and have someone use them up and down the back of your body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/589ea85b-49c6-4ae3-a1ac-8216c0bbf368/30+minute+regenerative+roller+workout.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery - Long foam roller A foam roller is an at home pilates studio must. It is amazing for rolling out your muscles but also when incorporated into a regenerative workout. It can challenge your stability but also help open up tight shoulders, chests, hips and more! I have many foam roller classes in my On Demand library so I highly recommend investing in this prop! Your body will thank me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/5ec98777-5697-4a1f-a977-3ed9535da255/IMG_4125.jpg Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery - TB12 Body Work TB12 is Tom Brady’s method meant to increase muscle “pliability” and improve performance. It helped me so much training for my 1/2 Marathon back in March and has been a great way to keep pain and tightness at bay. Pilates will always be my #1 for these things but functional body work like this has become an essential part of my body’s care. It is very painful and not relaxing like a massage. It is literal manual manipulation to help relieve things like a tight psoas, glutes, etc. They are located in many big cities around the US and if you are able to work with one I highly recommend it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/f477e3f9-0cc2-4301-bcd9-a5d348a8a74b/1C24A11E-9657-4E60-A11B-8E6BFA07B57E.jpeg Conscious Living - Conscious Recovery - Infrared Sauna Followed by Lymphatic Drainage Massage at IMD Beauty This treatment is amazing. I was skeptical at first and thought it was just a trending thing influencers did. Then I tried it. Not only does it help detoxify your body, but it feels amazing. It really gets things energetically moving around your body. Yes I actually see a difference in how my body looks. But I also feel a difference in my energy and how it moves. I have been going about once a month and it has been an amazing addition to my well being. If IMD Beauty isn’t where you live, try to find lymphatic drainage massage and/or sauna at a spa or health center. Your body will thank you! https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/conscious-cleaning monthly 0.5 2022-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1c319757-316f-428f-ae51-555a31fa99fb/earth+day.JPG Conscious Living - Conscious Cleaning - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/2021-a-year-of monthly 0.5 2021-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/7e17aa00-806b-4cde-bff8-bf4a2c9bc6fc/2021+recap.jpg Conscious Living - 2021: A Year Of… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/some-sweets-for-my-sweet monthly 0.5 2021-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/4b704a18-bf0f-4fbf-8aca-5fe9cb3d7f58/birthday+party+2.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet My son is turning 3 in less than a week, I can’t believe it! Over the weekend we had a little party for a few of his friends at his favorite spot - Tiny Tauk. I got my creative juices flowing and made all of the desserts. They were delicious, low in sugar, gluten free, dairy free and rather delicious! Keep scrolling for the details and recipes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/35999ac1-28dd-45d0-8a60-2d4f4c080dda/birthday+cake.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet - Construction Site Cake This cake was gluten free, dairy free and very delicious. To save more time for decorating I used Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix (you’ll need two or even three bags to make a 3 tier cake - I used two as we weren’t too big of a group) and Simple Mill’s Chocolate Frosting. I used these 3 tier silicone baking dishes. After baking per the instructions I let them cool and used a biscuit cutter to cut a hole through every layer but the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/61a3658b-8b1e-4b2a-9ac3-02dafdf54860/worms+in+dirt+1.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet - Worms in Dirt I used this NYT Cooking Oat Milk Pudding Recipe to keep it dairy free. To keep the chocolate clean and low sugar I used this Hu Kitchen Plain Chocolate Bar (you need 1.5 bars per batch because of the high cocoa content). I made it the night before the party so the pudding had a lot of time to cool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/13579761-ba05-4c0a-bf48-3131f602b078/blade+and+salt+pizza.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet - Don’t Forget the Pizza! It wouldn’t have been a kid’s birthday without pizza. We love the delicious pies from our friends at Blade and Salt. I am all about balance - pizza plus healthier desserts is definitely speaking my language! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/e06599e4-ee22-4b6a-9cb5-4f41d605c059/decorations.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet - The final touches To really hone in on the truck theme, I chose construction truck everything for the napkins, plates and cups. I also opted for a nice jar of lemon water over plastic bottled water to try to balance out some of the waste from all the disposable goods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/3ba58503-31f0-4589-a21e-64a5a8e28f93/candy+filled+cake.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet - A Surprise Inside and Outside I then frosted each layer one by one and stacked the holes in line. I filled it to the top with Little Secret’s Milk Chocolate Candies (no artificial colors, junk, etc in this candy!). Then finished the top piece to finish it all off. To create the “dirt” for the construction site I used Siete Foods Mexican Chocolate Cookies, crumbled them as much as possible and surrounded the whole cake with them. To finish I bought this Construction Site Cake Topping Set and it was literally the “icing on the cake”! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/be43776a-9af4-4cd0-ac46-a6e5e54136b5/worms+in+dirt+2.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet - So What’s it Made Of? Oreo’s are literally chemically engineered so obviously I didn’t use those. Instead I used Simple Mills Brownie Bites - I crushed them up well and sprinkled on top. For the worms, I used Smart Sweets Gummy Worms. They are low sugar but definitely still sweet enough! And the bonus was the “shovel spoons” that came with my Construction Cake topper kit so they were the perfect compliment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/57bbd5d0-51bb-4ef6-a7a8-ed3aaa293f58/pinata+1.JPG Conscious Living - Some Sweets for my Sweet - Some of the fun For an activity to get all of the toddler boys energy out included a pinata filled with all kinds of delicious and “cleaner” type candy. Aside from Little Secret’s I also really like Unreal Candy. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/my-holiday-gift-guide monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/83aa4522-8b9e-41c4-8ad6-533833a65310/gift+guide.JPG Conscious Living - My Holiday Gift Guide - Pilates On Demand I will start off with yours truly and my Holiday Special this year.

Their flavors are unique, refreshing and so delicious. Some of them have CBD in them which is a nice add if you’re looking for some help with a little zen. Drinking these has also helped me cut back on the wine I used to drink. I’m not a big drinker but there are more and more studies about how even light to moderate alcohol intake can effect your overall health. I found these to be the perfect night time drink while cooking and having dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/19ada809-bb76-40fe-9861-abb88fc8ed51/stasher+bags.jpg Conscious Living - My Holiday Gift Guide - Stasher Reusable Silicone Bags I love these bags! One of my daily goals is to use as little single use plastic (or rather no plastic at all if possible!). These bags are great for storing leftovers, snacks, and all other kinds of non food items. This has been a go to gift for me for years as it’s the kind of gift that keeps on giving by eliminating less plastic in our world. I recommend a multi size pack so you have options for all kinds of needs! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/23ccee2e-2ac0-4197-b472-e33cc08015af/bees+wrap+3.jpg Conscious Living - My Holiday Gift Guide - Bee’s Wrap These bees wax resusable wraps are the perfect replacement for saran wrap.

In many ways as humans, we take breathing for granted as it’s an essential function to live. At the same time, we often forget to breathe and gather tension rather than moving and living more freely with the support of our breath. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/referrals-are-here monthly 0.5 2021-05-24 https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/why-a-recovery-day-is-just-as-important-as-a-rest-day monthly 0.5 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1617015483884-ISN0AQGNJ0UKBZJ5ZUIZ/laying+over+rock.JPG Conscious Living - Why a “Recovery Day” is just as important as a “Rest Day” A lot of what I talk about when teaching pilates is what I like to call “the balance of effort and ease.” My blog is all about finding balance in your life. This also means finding balance in your workouts. Every single day shouldn’t be the same workout. Pro tennis players don’t just play tennis, pro basketball players don’t just play basketball so you shouldn’t just don’t one thing either. https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/how-to-add-my-site-as-an-app-on-your-phone monthly 0.5 2021-03-22 https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/1dik5mhfbbziwylklfosl70s1r0mb2 monthly 0.5 2021-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1615060011598-UGSUZARNWNPLZVOL09NV/Green_Caesar-Salad_Plated_HiRes.jpg Conscious Living - Sakara Life + Why I love it https://www.ashleypattenpilates.com/concious-living/so-what-is-march-matness-anyways monthly 0.5 2021-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1614720292938-XDD20BOE0YBVVVKD9TG6/B%2BW+100.jpg Conscious Living - So what is March MATness anyways?

This is a great starting place for beginners or when your back isn’t feel great. If you get going and this isn’t for you today, try placing your feet on the floor - this will be even more supportive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1601800659942-5UBQWGZKMF0UFVFAU6I6/image-asset.jpeg Conscious Living - The Most Quintessential Pilates Exercise - The 100 Next step would be extending your legs out to a “high” 45 degree angle. If you’re not quite ready for this option but feel ready to move on from table top, split the difference and extend your legs but keep your knees slightly bent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74569e697503024c471e88/1601800634679-I91QTG608HTSNE7J8DVR/IMG_6914.jpeg Conscious Living - The Most Quintessential Pilates Exercise - The 100 Ready for a bit more?
