Your July 4th Dose of Movement, Fireworks, and Summer Indulgence
☀️ This Week’s Vibe
To the new faces here—hi, hi, hiiii! Whether you clicked follow, subscribed, or stumbled across Desert Dose, I’m so glad you’re here.
This week, we’re all about celebrating summer in full color—sparkles in the sky, pilates on patios, and plenty of playful movement. Whether you’re soaking in a sound bath, chasing fireworks, or splurging on a fancy dinner (👀 Mastro’s $80 four-course deal), don’t forget to carve out space to rest, too.
Hot tip? Start winding down Sunday night instead of squeezing in one last thing—your Monday self will thank you

💫 Wellness Tip of the Week: Long Weekend, Light Body
Between the hot dogs, fireworks, and late nights, it’s easy to roll into Monday feeling more melted than rested. Here's how to stay energized this long weekend without skipping the fun:
🌞 Hydrate like it’s your job – Aim for 1 glass of water per festive beverage (yes, even mocktails).
🥗 Balance your plate – Enjoy the BBQ, but sneak in fresh fruit, greens, and protein to stay grounded.
😴 Wind down early-ish – Even 20 minutes of stretching and screen-free time before bed can help your body recover.
🚶♀️ Light movement – Go for a sunrise walk, short yoga flow, or post-dip stretch to reset.
You deserve to feel good heading into next week — not like a leftover sparkler 💥✨
💌 That’s your Desert Dose
Here’s to firework skies, full plates, and moments of stillness in the swirl of it all 🇺🇸✨
Whether you’re hopping into a poolside pilates class, catching a drone show, or booking that Mastro’s splurge “just because” — I hope something in this week’s Dose made you feel more connected to yourself and your city.
Forward it to a friend who’s ready to celebrate big, rest well, and move into Monday refreshed 🌞🌵
