1. OPTP PRO-ROLLER Foam Roller
The foam roller is one of my favorite fitness accessories to release tightness and stress off my body and restore flexibility and ease. It’s also such a quick and effective to get restorative massage out of the comforts and convenience of your home. I even created a Relieve & Restore Massage Foam Roller online class using it.
2. SPRI Pro Mat
When it comes to Pilates, thickness and stability are important in mat. In Pilates, we move through many dynamic movements, balance position, and rolling movement so you want a stable and comfortable mat like this one.
3. Vitamix Blender
Vitamix is the most popular kitchen gadget in my house. Its versatile and a time saver for busy lives. From healthy smoothies to soups, this Blender is worth the price. My kids love making smoothies in the Vitamix and freezing left over for popsicles. We have created so many wonderful memories together in the kitchen with the Vitamix. As the price point can be hefty for this product, we went for the refurbished one since it has the same warranty.
4. The Book of Awakening
This insightful and inspiring book is about creating a life you want by being present to the life you have. I have this one myself. Who doesn’t need more of that, right? Oprah named this book as “a year supply of inspiration every day and perfect gift for yourself and your friend.”
5. Oh She Glows Every Day
Angela Liddon’s eagerly awaited Cookbook features more than one hundred quick-and-easy whole-foods, plant-based recipes to keep you glowing every day of the year. After following her on instragram for ideas and inspiration, I finally got her book last month and I am so excited!

My clients love receiving them from me and their home guests love them too! My favorite scents are “Strength + Energy” and “Peace + Tranquility.” Soothing scents makes for a restorative environment for your Pilates practice. :)
Stocking Stuffers:

2. Stott Pilates Flex Band
Flex band can be added to your matwork routine to to strengthen, support, or challenge your movement or stretch. You can also simulate the flexibility and resistance exercises performed on the Reformer with the flex band. It’s small and easy easy to travel with.
3. Rishi Turmeric Ginger Tea
Confession: I am obsessed with teas. :) I usually make turmeric tea from scratch at home but sometimes you just need tea in a hurry and this is one of my favorites. I first had them at a local coffee house and became an instant fan. I love Turmeric and Ginger for its soothing comfort and anti-inflammatory benefits.
4. Simple Modern Insulated Water Bottle
Most of us striving to drinking more water daily, right? Why do it with style and purpose? I simply love that Simple Modern has committed to donate a minimum of 10% of its profits to non-profit and charitable institutions that demonstrate a commitment to positive societal improvement. Funds are given through a process where every employee and family member of Simple Modern is able to give input.
5. Kitchun No Grainola
The two mamas at Kitchun have taken the idea of healthy snacking to a whole new level with their no-grain-ola. Whether or not you following a paleo lifestyle, these snack are healthy, delicious, convenient and such a time saver for busy Mamas. All the flavor are delish but my absolute favorites is When Honey Met Maple.
I could go on and on, really. :) I hope this list is helpful start for your holiday shopping season.
Happy Holidays, Lovelies!

Smriti
