Even the mayor of Portland love yoga balls! This past winter I decided to ditch my gym membership, for better or worse (it was for worse). I just didn’t have time anymore, and I thought it would be nice to bank an extra $40 each month. Oh, and also, I

I just celebrated my 25th birthday and have been dismayed to discover that not everyone loves birthdays as much as I do. The birthday scrooges among us gripe about the passage of another pointless year, whine about the crow’s feet and gray hairs that come with age, worry that they’re
