A few new things…

The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining everyday, I’m loving the deep flow module at VSBM, and I’m can hold handstand for a good 10 seconds now. Life is good. I’ve had a few exciting and pleasurable surprises in the past few weeks as well:

1) The textbook that we were supposed to receive at school wasn’t re-printed this year, so we had $150 or so that we had already paid, but didn’t receive anything for. So, the director of the school decided to give each student a gift certificate to Vida Wellness Spa at the Sheraton Hotel for a 60 minute bodywrap and exfoliation. I just came back from mine tonight and it was amazing. I had never had one before and now my skin feels brand new. The treatment started off with a salt scrub, then an oil application, then I was wrapped up like a mummy in about 100 different layers of towels and blankets. While I was baking my practitioner gave me a head and face massage, then finished the treatment with lotion application. It’s tough getting massages everyday and then having to go through one of these treatments…

2) I didn’t want to say anything prematurely, but about a month ago I was contacted be an editor for VegNews Magazine to see if I would be interested in writing a travel article for them about Vermont. I said yes, of course, and it will be run in the July+August issue, so check it out! I don’t get paid, but I get a free yearlong subscription!

3) If you haven’t noticed yet, I’ve updated the picture section of my blog and added pages for Thailand/Laos, British Columbia and China as well as lots of new pictures in the other categories.

I think that’s it for now… I’m sure I’ll think of more things later, but I’ll keep you updated!
