We talked to Nia Vardalos, discovered the benefits of acupuncture, and Heidi Powell planned a week of exercises.
The weeks sure seem to fly by! And we don’t want you missing out on anything that happens on Elizabeth Street, so we’ve collected all of our stories here for you to check out. This week, we chatted with awesome mom and actress Nia Vardalos about her new book Instant Mom, which explores adoption and motherhood in ways that are at turns tear-jerking and at others laugh-out-loud funny. We learned about the benefits of acupuncture for mothers and pregnant women, and Heidi Powell played personal trainer to us all by planning a full week of easy exercises to tone the whole body. Read our list below to review our entire week!
