On My Mind

Mind & Body

Fall of 2023 I decided to up my game mentally and physically. I started listening to audiobooks to get more reading time in each day and it’s been a game changer. Patrick Ryan’s Buckeye is excellent. Two years ago I tried Pilates and quickly went from once a week to five when I am here. My phenomenal instructor is the reason I stuck with it and look forward to every session. After years of struggling to find a comfortable athletic bra, I now layer a scoop bra, sports bra, and tanks from FP Movement — also a game changer. While in Paris recently, I switched oat milk for cow’s milk in my coffee and, after years of limiting dairy, I’m eating lots of yogurt. My skin cleared up instantly! Finally, I use predominantly Biologique Recherche products from my facialist, however, she introduced me to Margy’s The Lotion 1 and it has made an enormous difference.

  • BR is my holy grail! I’ve tried other regiments and always end up getting back to BR. It’s so nice to hear that you like it. Preston, do you have a Pilates studio or an instructor you recommend? I think we live in the same area…

  • Hi Preston!
    Thank you for introducing me to Marge’s Monte Carlo Biomimetic Swiss skincare. I always love discovering luxury European skincare products that use cellular science. I am excited to investigate!

  • Paige at Bedford Pilates is the best!

  • Lots of great info! I’m going to try layering sports bras, too! The lotion looks divine! I’ve put Buckeye in my reading queue.

  • Preston, this is so neat! Congratulations to everyone who is rededicating to upping their game mentally, physically, spiritually, and also in being good citizens. To ‘Be Best’ requires thought, discipline, time, and genuine effort, and is not dependent upon means. The time to reset the course and create better life habits is always now (you have convinced me to try Pilates).
    I must say I love Biologique as well! A new facialist introduced me to the line in 2024, and, combined with his care, my skin is remarkably improved.

  • Thank you for sharing, Preston! I used to love going to Bedford Post, so I’ll give the Pilates a try. For BR, I just got something that’s new for me – ADN Metamorphique – and it’s amazing. Definitely recommend!

  • Thanks for the tip about FP Movement, Preston. I am ALWAYS on the hunt for real athletic tanks that allow for a very supportive athletic bra underneath. For figures like mine, tanks with built-in “bras” or those pretty athletic bras with the thin straps just don’t work. I’ll try layering!

  • First layer is a Skims bra, the fabric is very soft.
