Only the Essential: A Journal of Minimalism

SQN Sport, a women’s activewear retailer, had four brick-and-mortar stores in Sun Valley and Malibu, Calif., but company founder Megan Murphy Lengyel downsized as she pursued a new business model based on trunk shows and a customer sales app.

I was recently introduced to SQN-Sport, and being a yoga and barre instructor as well as a lover of all things fashion,  I’m always up for checking out new styles and brands. You are going to be so happy that I am sharing these fun finds with you! SQN Sport has locations in SunValley, ID and in Malibu, CA.  All activewear is made in the USA! Wohooo! I love supporting American made companies. SQN Sportfocuses on minimalist design and American-made activewear.

A curated closet is a necessity, both ecologically and ethically, as it is a concept that works in modern culture, especially as people choose to spend money on experiences instead of clothing.

In a time when no one agrees on anything, some vague consensus can be found around the idea that more American manufacturing would be good. Rarely does someone say publicly, “Actually, I think there should be lessAmerican manufacturing.”

SUN VALLEY, Idaho — The best word to describe Sun Valley? Magical. Sounds effusive, but it's true. Sun Valley is one of those places where the more you learn about its history, the more you meet the people that call the town home, and the more time you spend exploring, the more you quite simply fall in love with it.

SQN Sport is an activewear clothing company that creates beautiful American-made garments. Customers have the option of becoming ambassadors for the brand, earning commissions for every sale they refer. The company is in the process of adding a mobile app for independent sales reps, uber for retail sales, making it even easier to refer new customers and even place orders for them, all with just a few taps.

If anyone loves a good workout, it’s me. However, I also love a good yoga session as well. Many people don’t find those two things synonymous, but me, I find them to be one in the same. Let me tell you why.

Everyone needs a jumpstart every now and again, and I am certainly no different. Over the past few weeks I have been gearing up for a nice little trip to some sandy beaches and salty waves, and, although I have followed a healthy lifestyle diet and workout regimen, I found myself wanting to shed a few extra "winter lbs" before I strutted my stuff on the beach in a bathing suit. And that's how I found The 2 Week Diet.

Can a heavy-cream and butter-laden diet really be the magic recipe for shedding pounds? For keto diet fanatics, the answer is yes— and please pass the cheese.

We all lead busy lives. In today’s world, it’s as if it’s a badge of honor. Always rushing to the next thing. Working late to meet that deadline to please a boss or client. Driving from one kid’s soccer practice to the other.

Depression is a horrible, debilitating disease that affects the lives of over 16 million Americans. Those who suffer from depression experience a myriad of symptoms and no two cases are the same. However, if you suffer from depression the good news is that there is a proven way to free yourself from the symptoms.
