Boho-Chic Home Decor

I've been seeing boho-chic decor everywhere lately. I love the eclectic/cozy look boho pieces create. 

To create a boho-chic space mix unique, rustic wood furniture with bright, vintage inspired fabrics, brass hardware and eclectic artwork.

Stretches to Relieve Hip Pain

Last year I started to run a lot more then I ever have. I started noticing sharp pains in my hip I couldn't seem to stretch away. I was worried maybe I would have to stop running and try a different form of cardio. I usually mix it up with spinning, the elliptical or step climber anyway (which you should do) but in the summer I loved running outside.

There are many stretches and techniques to relieve hip pain.

I am not a doctor I just wanted to share what works for me.

The Foam Roller
I used the foam roller before at the gym only once to roll on my thighs to get rid of pain (recommended by a personal trainer friend) and one day decided to try it on my hip.

How I Use it...
Lipstickpowdernpaint.com

Roll your hip up and down on the foam roller for as long as you feel you need to. It hurts but in my experience it helped my hip pain significantly! 

Another tool to use is a lacrosse ball!



How to use it



1. Sit on the floor, bend your legs, place your left foot on your right knee
2. Place the ball under your left glute and tilt your body a little to the left
3. Roll around slowly until you find a tender trigger point. Stay on it and gently massage it with the ball until the pain subsides.


A good stretch that also helps is...

The Pigeon Stretch
www.jacquelinegaray.com
***Stretches the groin, thigh, back and psoas***

1. Bend your front leg at a 90 degree angle
2. Stretch your back leg as far behind your body as you can pointing your toe.
3. Hold this position for at least 60 seconds. 
4. For a deeper stretch bend your upper body down to touch your front leg.

Always, always, ALWAYS Stretch!!!

Vancouver Loft- Brewery Creek

I LOVE the loft spaces in Vancouver. They are ridiculously beautiful and unique. My most recent discovery is Brewery Creek.

A class A heritage building with  14 live/work town homes. 
Check out two different looks from this building.

280 E 6TH Ave Vancouver B.C






Look #1- Modern Rustic






 I love these pendant lights!





 









Look #2- Elegant/Rustic
I'm not usually a fan of painted brick but in this case it works. They also left some of it untouched so I can't be too upset. 










Love the monochromatic colour scheme with distressed wood pieces. The ladder on the wall is an interesting idea.

Wow! Have a great weekend everyone!
