Cool Hunting
Last week I ran into Edward Vilga, one of my favorite yoga teachers, on the subway. He generously gave a me a copy of his "Yoga in Bed" DVD to check out. Yesterday morning it was raining so hard that there was no way I was going to go to the gym. So I tried out the DVD instead, and it was great! The yoga wasn't difficult and I was ready to start my day. And by the time it was done, it had stopped raining. I called Edward to thank him and he told me that "consistency is the most important factor in yoga." The DVD has an energizing morning workout and a restorative nighttime workout. Edward says that the night workout helps you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Best of all, you don't even have to get out of your bed for either of them. Pick up your own copy from Amazon.

The most eloquent filthy mouth to hit the comedy scene, revolutionary Russell Brand has slowly but surely charmed his way from London to Hollywood—his ruminative witticisms and attitudinal haircut leading the way. The "Russell Brand in New York City: Extended & Uncensored" DVD, hitting stores today is a great way to become conversant with the captivating comedian or makes a solid addition to any...
