SunYAY! Summer is in full swing for the Pretty & Fun team with busy schedules and lots of deadlines. Still, we found some of the best lifestyle content to share with you as we all wind down for the weekend. Remember my mission to do one new thing every week? Last week I ran for the first time in ages, and this week I finally got myself back to the barre studio — my absolute favorite workout. There’s something about the energy of a group fitness class that’s so inspiring. I know the good vibes will carry me through the whole weekend. What inspires you? Let us know below!
