Yep, it's hot outside so if not sweating through a barre session, you may find me hanging by the pool or inside enjoying the AC (working of course...maybe with a glass of wine). And I'm not sure about you but this time of year typically creates a few style challenges around here. All the heat, humidity and pop up thunderstorms make it difficult to keep it all together in more ways than one.  Let's talk about the hair. The midwest humidity does some fun things to these tresses, and I'm not even talking about post sweat session. Lucky for me it may lose...

Yes, it's no surprise that our clothing and accessories are designed for barre fitness - that's what we're passionate about and it's what we know and love. But perhaps you didn't know, that to ensure these products are meeting the utmost of quality, comfort and overall fabulousness standards, we put them through a rigorous testing phase. They get experience in multiple barre classes, a few laundry cycles and everything in between.

Thank goodness for layers, my go-to for a multitude of reasons. And although layers and layers of cake are super yummy and provide comfort in oh so many ways, I'm referring to the layers used when fitting our bodies with clothing, specifically activewear. The approach is simple but the results lend to a calmer, more adaptable schedule and an enhanced you. So let's get dressed, let's get layered and let's put together an ensemble that's effortless and prepares us for the journey of our day. And why should we adorn with layers you ask?  Let's start with temperature regulation. Being from the Midwest, we experience the adventures...
