On The Mat With Mari: Celebrating Two Years & My Favorite Salad

When I was younger, I always joked that I pretty much didn't like anyone when I first met them because I was always skeptical. Thankfully because of Yoga my heart is more open and I love meeting new people...shoot I went from Black Widow (my sorority pledge name) to Namaste Mari.

Even though, I am more open when meeting individuals; I still have my guard up with whom I let into my circle. I think we instinctively know who we vibe with and who we don't and there is nothing wrong with that. I think this meme sums up friendships perfectly...


Exactly two years ago, I "picked" a human and we've been great friends ever since. I met Angie at a company outing; she was just hired and the PT team went go cart racing to celebrate hitting our monthly goal. We slowly built a friendship from that day and of course we had some baby hiccups but I call that the learning curve lol. I truly believe that people come into your life during different seasons of your growth and I met Angie exactly when I was supposed to. Two of my closest friends had just moved out of town and the Universe knew what it was doing when our paths crossed.

This past weekend we headed to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate and I devoured my Chinese Chicken Salad as if it were the last meal on earth.It. Is. My. Fave.

Making new friends as an adult is pretty hard and I think it's important to celebrate small milestones like this.

Check out the vlog below for a mini Gap haul as well as some of my favorite things that I ordered from Ulta and of course our celebratory lunch!
