The Scoop on Beyond Yoga X CoolHaus

July 31, 2016Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

I wanted to share with you the insider "scoop" (pun intended) on the amazing ice cream and yoga collaboration with CoolHaus and Beyond Yoga.

They had a super fun party on Thursday night where we enjoyed yummy treats and cocktails, including ice cream infused with Avion Tequila. We also took fun photos in the photo booth and danced the night away to tunes by a very talented DJ.

Get the scoop on Beyond Yoga x CoolHaus below!

Beyond Yoga x Coolhaus celebrates a balanced lifestyle. As Michelle Wahler, CEO and co-founder of Beyond Yoga puts it, "Some days that means a Pilates class, some days that means relaxing in leggings with a bowl of your favorite ice cream and a glass of wine."

The collaboration consists of two parts: a three-piece activewear collection and a specially created ice cream flavor - allowing both brands' expertise to shine through. The activewear styles include an ice-cream-bar-printed high waist capri legging, matching sports bra and a grey, graphic tank that says "Nom-Nom Namaste."

Beyond Yoga x Coolhaus "What's the Scoop" bra - $68
eyond Yoga x Coolhaus "What's the Scoop" capri legging - $90
Beyond Yoga x Coolhaus "Nom-Nom Namaste" tank - $5

Continuing on the phrase "Nom-Nom Namaste," the specially created ice cream is named just that! To describe in fuller detail, Natasha Case, CEO and co-founder of Coolhaus says, "The ice cream flavor is a spiked acai: red wine acai ice cream base with stone ground chocolate. This juxtaposition of treating yourself with wine, the balance of healthy treats like acai, and the indulgences of chocolate is a true representation to both the progressive flavors of Coolhaus and the balanced lifestyle of Beyond Yoga.”

The activewear collection ranges from $59 to $90 and will be sold at BeyondYoga.com starting July 21st as well as at the Coolhaus Culver City flagship store location. The “Nom Nom Namaste” ice cream flavor will be available to order July 21st through October 1st starting at $4 at the Coolhaus Culver City and Pasadena scoop shops as well as on the mobile Coolhaus trucks throughout New York City.

Peony and me: From working to working out

Hi lovelies,

Since my summer days can be so jammed packed, literally running from set from filming my new web series, The Ratchet Pack, to helping out behind-the-scenes at photoshoots for Hautelook, while still trying to make the time to stay in shape with my active outdoor and at-the-gym activities, my latest obsession is the edgy, activewear fashion brand Peony, because they keep me looking stylish and cool whether I'm working or working out.

With Peony's signature leggings, I can rock their bold prints ranging from florals, solid black accented with lace and leather, or paisley prints. Looking good while feeling good is the ultimate fitspiration.

To look chic while striking a yoga or pilates pose, I pair my leggings with a solid tank, sports bra, and sneakers, to make the prints really pop. When I want to sport my leggings for an on-the-go look, I opt for solid top in a silk or chiffon fabric with a small heel or wedge.

Peony also have great tops for an added feminine touch to any look. My absolute favorite piece from Peony is their sweatshirt with lace sleeves in white. I throw it over grey denim cut-off shorts and head to Starbucks to get some blogging done. I feel comfortable while rocking my signature style in my athleisure ensemble.
