🛍️ Local Love: Shopping & Yoga on Main Street

This month, I’m spotlighting two of my favorite local spots: Gingham Buffalo and Hot 4 Yoga, located right next to each other on Main Street in Glen Carbon!

I’m featuring them because I genuinely love both yoga and shopping, and these two never disappoint.

🏡 Gingham Buffalo

Gingham Buffalo is full of unique home decor, furniture, and gifts. Some of my favorite wall art and my long-lasting entry rug came from there. It is perfect for anyone who loves finding one-of-a-kind pieces for their home!

🧘‍♀️ Hot 4 Yoga

Hot 4 Yoga is my go-to studio. Their Tuesday sculpt class is no joke; those 2lb weights sneak up on you!

Bonus Spot: If you're closer to O’Fallon, Moonbird Yoga is another favorite of mine with a great vibe and fun playlists!

Check them both out next time you're in the area. You might just fall in love too!

🏓 Pickleball in the Park: Let’s Play!

Lately, I’ve been playing pickleball for both exercise and fun, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite activities! I’ve even been playing with Neyo and Nala, and it’s such a great activity for all ages. If you’ve ever thought about trying it, I highly recommend it. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people, stay active, and rack up a ton of steps!

🌐 Local Pickleball Resources & Courts

OMG Pickleball Club: Check out omgpickleballclub.com for local events, open play times, and all things pickleball.
Miner Park Courts: With the weather warming up, I’ve been playing at Miner Park, where the tennis courts were recently converted to pickleball courts. Plus, they have lights, so you can even play in the evening!

I’m always looking for new people to play with, so if you’re up for it, let me know. I’d love to hit the courts with you! 🏓😃
