Even so, it was wonderful to spend time with my daughter and simply enjoy being together. We visited the Christkindlmarket and warmed up with delicious hot mulled wine, which made the trip feel especially festive. Once back in LA, I tried a new Pilates class, which I’m hoping to incorporate into my weekly routine, and enjoyed some quality time at the spa with my sister. Since I truly love being home when it rains, I didn’t venture out too much once I returned—but I thoroughly enjoyed staying cozy inside while the rain fell outside. I hope you were able to enjoy the rainy days, too. As we settle back into our routines and begin the second semester, we are excited to see many of our popular after-...
