Drunken Problem Solving?

We didn't need a scientific study to tell us this...

Hello Wonderful. It's only Wednesday but we have major Weekend Brain. Last week we wrote about starting a consistent meditation practice. It's been exactly one week since we started 15 minutes of morning and evening meditation. Admittedly we are known enthusiasts who made a business for ourselves testing and sharing our curiosities. But, like plant-based eating which we embarked on last summer and still practice, meditation is a transformation that we plan to stick with. We have almost 75 readers who are practicing with us. Join our private discussions and revelations here.   The What List  May 23, 2018 by Gina Pell + Amy Parker 100% Editorial picks. No pay for play. Ever.

One woman even photographed our bags on a flight from SFO-NYC. Well, the secret's out. We're doting fans of Cuyana's Weekender and adore their new Classic Overnight Bag. We'll be carrying this baby on upcoming work trips and during our summer travels. It also makes a great gift for the grads.
