Now that May has arrived, it's about that time when we start scrambling to make up for a season's worth of hibernating. Unless you worked out all winter, and in that case, I admire you. While I'm not by any means a fitness guru, I do understand the immediate health effects of working out on my aging body and the opportunity I still have to improve. Cue yoga, my favorite way to get back in shape after an exercise slump.

I spent the majority of April getting back on my feet with the help of YogaWorks, a studio with locations both throughout New York City and nationwide. There is a countless number of workout class offerings just in this city (and I've tried quite a few), but what stands out about YogaWorks is its openness to all people and levels. After a long season of slacking off on exercise, I still felt confident about myself in these classes. That, to me, is the most important thing when it comes to body health -- feeling good from the inside out. What better method than yoga to strengthen your mind and body at the same time?

So I've geared up in my Boohoo FIT workout wear and finally taken steps to re-include regular exercise into my weekly routine. It always feels easier when you're surrounded by other motivated people in class and instructors who can guide you along the way. It's all about baby steps. 

My sister and I moved on from Annapolis to Baltimore's Inner Harbor, or as what I see as the Times Square of Maryland. As beautiful as the waterfront area is, it is no doubt a flocking point for tourists without the serenity of Annapolis. 

However, within our time of touring with exhaustion and intense heat, we happened upon Fell's Point, an unexpectedly lovely area with history dating back to the 1700s. Hidden in this neighborhood are streets similar those of Annapolis, with cobblestone roads and colorful homes. There is a welcoming, old-city vibe in this environment that takes modern-day Baltimore into a different and refreshing light.

When I think of denim skirts, I am suddenly flashing back to my middle school days of lusting over the newest back-to-school collections at abercrombie kids. Yes, even I fell victim to the graphic moose tee and mini skirt combination that inhabited every cool (just kidding) tween's closet. Despite my previous fashion faux-pas, I couldn't be happier that the denim skirt is back and better than ever. When worn with the right pieces, the classic blue mini becomes a staple for your summer wardrobe.
