Hoboken: Best of Beauty & Wellness
When I first moved from the city to Hoboken a little over four years ago, I was convinced that I was going to hate it. A typical New York attitude. Today, I can't express how much I absolutely love this little city and am so proud to call it home. Of course, I did my fair share of exploring and testing out all of the beauty and wellness offerings the town has to offer. While I still go to NYC for many of my services (see my round up of the best salons and spas in NYC here), I found some real talent in Hoboken. Here's my edit of the best of beauty and wellness in Hoboken.

Here are the top five lessons I learned at Soul so far... Enjoy!

Barre classes often make me feel tight and crunchy and SoulCycle's been rough on my hip flexors. Like a good yoga class, a deep tissue massage also helps to relieve stress and make me feel a bit lighter on my feet. In honor of Global Massage Makes Me Happy Day coming up on March 20th, spoke with Lynda Solien-Wolfe the Vice President of Massage & Spa at Performance Health to make a case for monthly massages.
Skincare for the Active
The Lower Ab Exercise I Swear By
Sculpting abs is hard enough as it is, but sculpting your lower abs is by far the most challenging. I was first introduced to this exercise, leg up taps, years ago in pilates and when the Bar Method started including it in their workout I was pumped.
