HOW CAN SHE SLAP???

yoga. Everyone else in the team room seems to agree with this. I’m sitting here with eyebrows cocked wondering if I’m losing my mind.

I’m tempted to say ‘Cultural Appropriation’ however could be a case that she was very enthusiastic about sharing what she knew from her Yoga practice.
On a side note: not sure how many desis know that Namaste means ‘the divinity in me bows to the divinity in you’ 🤔

I knew that because of Akshay Kumar’s rant in Namaste London 😂

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?
