First of all, thank you for all of your great suggestions to help me update my blogroll. I love having a lot to read, and I’m not so great at keeping it up to date. So thanks for all of the fun new blogs! If you can think of any other blogs I should be reading, send them my way!
I had such a great weekend! Friday was a friend’s birthday and we had a Weekend at Bernie’s themed party Friday night. Saturday we had an ugly holiday sweater party. Neither of us had anything, but we had fun coming up with ideas. Solomon was representing Chanukah all the way (and reminded me of Flava Flav) and I found a Frosty the Snowman night shirt. Plus jingle bell earrings, of course. We had such a fun weekend, thanks M’Ville!

Sunday was a day to relax and just veg out! I got in a nice run in the morning in all of the slush, and the Pats played the Bills. I ate too. A lot. It was awesome. I also got in some stretching and ab work on my brand new yoga mat!
Dennis at Aurorae Yoga Mats offered to send me a mat to try out. These mats are different from others I have tried and seen, so I was really excited to give it a try. Aurorae mats are ultra thick (1/4”), and extra long (6 feet) plus they have an icon which serves as a focal point for your practice.
I loved how thick this was, and how soft the material felt on my hands, feet and knees. I also loved how it molded to my feet and hands as I practiced. The mat is nice and sticky, so it rolls up and stays rolled. Plus, it is really easy to take care of. My only problem is a slipped I little bit, but I always slip when I do yoga, so I guess it’s to be expected.
Another great feature is that the mat comes in different colors, which help you to define your inner self.


I received a Solar mat, which I think is quite fitting for me.
Look how long it is!
Yup, Rufio practiced his yoga too (his doga?)
Want to try it out for yourself?
