Monday Musings

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Reader Survey last week. We work hard to bring you interesting, thoughtful, and, yes, stylish content. Everything we do is with you in mind, and we are always asking ourselves how we can continue to be your one-stop shop for all things Alexandria, from fitness and wellness to style to real estate and home improvement. We appreciate you and this community! As always, thank you, loyal readers!

Adrien: Practicing wellness with others is motivating and powerful. Our clients support each other as they build strength and resilience on their individual wellness journeys. Our client, Tracy Nickelsburg, is a prime example of how a holistic wellness program can take you from chronic injury to "superpower" strength. Watch for her in this Friday's Street Style! Learn how our community focused on holistic wellness can be a game-changer for you.

Amy: These block-printed napkins, made entirely by hand, would make such a sweet hostess gift or a beautiful addition to any spring or summer spread. We are so excited about this brand, and really, you cannot go wrong with any of their textiles! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $79)

Elizabeth: You are going to read a lot about shorts in the next few weeks, but I know some people simply won't do it. Well, if you need the perfect alternative to shorts this summer, look no further than Tibi pants. They are lightweight, easy to wear, and will keep you looking cool all summer long. (Available at The Hive, $385-$395 as shown)

Celthia: My sister Carla visited from Dubai last week and stopped by Bellacara for a restock on beauty essentials! She's an HR business partner, and work can get a bit stressful. During the pandemic, things have changed, and laws are a bit more open on things like CBD, so she's excited to try these Lord Jones gumdrops to find a moment of calm after a busy day.

Britt: Who has been to Fresh Baguette on King Street?  If you have not, listen to me when I tell you to run, do not walk, to grab a warm baguette fresh out of the oven.  Everyone here at The Patterson Group swears by them - you'll be hooked on the smell alone!
