Movement, friendship, and feel-good plans across the Valley

In partnership with
āļø This Weekās Vibe
Wellness, but make it social.
Februaryās energy is all about moving together ā flowing through yoga, sweating it out in Pilates, dancing in heels, and lingering a little longer to connect. This week blends intentional movement with Galentineās plans that celebrate friendship, community, and showing up for one another. Come solo, bring your girls, or leave with new friends.
The Drink Everyoneās Reaching For This Spring šøāØ
Spring doesnāt have to mean a packed schedule and another drink you regret tomorrow.
This season, Iām reaching for something different: Vesper by Pique.
Pique is known for blending ancient botanicals with modern science to create elevated wellness essentials. Vesper might be my favorite yet. Itās a non-alcoholic, adaptogenic aperitif that delivers the relaxed, social glow of a cocktail. Without alcohol or the next-day fog.
Itās what I pour when I want something special in my glass on a bright spring evening. Each sip feels celebratory and uplifting. Relaxed body. Clear mind. No haze. No sleep disruption.
Crafted with L-theanine, lemon balm, gentian root, damiana, and elderflower, Vesper is sparkling, tart, and beautifully herbaceous.
If youāre ready for a new kind of happy hour, try Vesper here. šæāØ
