After a magical weekend at Yoga Camp, I woke up on Monday feeling refreshed, grounded, and genuinely good. The weather was stunning and I soaked it all in! Hot hot heatwave, honey! Floating in the lake, laughing, moving my body through yoga, Pilates, barre, and breathwork… it was everything I needed. The girls in my cabin were amazing, sweet souls and instant friends. The whole group of us were there together last year, and being in the same cabin this time was just perfect. So much fun! I’m doing a class with a few of the Yoga Camp gang on Friday. Back in the city, I had an audition due Tuesday, so I spent the afternoon easing into it. Took a stroll to the office to print my script (yes, I walked to print something in this heat wave lol), then sat on the grass in the park to rehearse in the sunshine. I’ve been using this great app called Rafy, it’s like having a scene partner in your pocket. It uses AI for script analysis, and you can choose from a bunch of voices to read with. Super handy when you don’t have a human actor nearby. 😎 After soaking up some rays (and probably a bit too much UV), I headed home to get a bit more work in before gym. I wore this little leopard print set that felt very prehistoric chic, like something Pebbles Flintstone would wear if she had a Pilates membership and a protein smoothie. I walked 10k that day (!), from Queen West to Junction Triangle and back, heatwave be damned. Gym was great, I’ve been working with my trainer, Riley, for 3 years now, and I love his classes! That evening, I popped out to say happy birthday to Roxy at Ted’s…

Had the best day! Woke up early and went to Trillium Park at Ontario Place for the Unbounded Sunrise Social event. Watched the sunrise with a meditation, jumped around to music, went in the cold, then in the sauna, and listened to live tunes by the fire. It was perfect. Went to a few of these events last summer, so fun. This year they had a Sunset Social but I couldn’t make it. If you’re looking for an event that doesn’t involve going to a bar or restaurant that will make you feel GREAT after, this is for you. The cold plunge community in the city, especially Unbounded, is so lovely. Positive people with an interest in wellness, having fun, and making the most of each day.

Please remember, I am not a doctor and you should prob check to see if this is safe before you give it a go. Aside from being great for stress & anxiety, it helps circulation. When you plunge into icy water, your blood vessels constrict, pushing blood toward your core to keep you warm. Then, when you get out, those vessels open up and send fresh, oxygenated blood rushing back to your limbs. This can help reduce inflammation and speed up muscle recovery. If you’ve been hitting or need a little extra recovery, cold plunge. Cold shock releases endorphins, filling you with energy and positivity. It’s pretty crazy! Everyone at this event was smiling. The mental act of pushing through the pain of cold water will make you feel a natural high (for real). A 2-minute dip in cold water can be just the thing to clear…
