A few weeks back I shared on my Instagram how I bit the bullet and decided to invest in a Peloton bike. I asked you guys to send in some questions so I could write up a full post on why I ended up purchasing one (after 3 years of being a die hard SoulCycle fan), the reason why I love their classes so much, my favorite classes and instructors to take and so much more. With everything I share ...

While I usually frequent a few stores throughout the week in normal life, since quarantine started mid-March I’ve found myself only going to Trader Joe’s since it’s affordable and close by.
