Sparkle #16: Yoga vs Pilates

Hello people, can you believe it is the last week of January already? Someone once told me, time flies when you are spending it well. I can say this is true for me right now – putting together all these posts on a daily basis does make me happy! So here’s to more sparkle and cheer in the coming days. Coming back to my Inspired Monday’s post, today I particularly felt the need for some fitness inspiration. Thanks to this rainy, cold and gloomy weather, I have been inconsistent with both my workout and diet this month. I hope to get back on track as the weather starts clearing…
