Why We All Want to be a Pilates Princess
Pilates has been having a major moment in the fitness and wellness industry, so much so, that it could arguably be the workout of 2025. What was once a workout that was used mainly for rehabilitative purposes — its founder, Joseph Pilates, came up with the exercises as a way to rehabilitate injured war prisoners during World War I — has now acquired a mass following, with celebrities like Meghan Markle, Lori Harvey, Adele and Hailey Bieber swearing by it. The functional, low-impact workout is a type of strength training in which you perform a series of repetitive movements — with or without equipment — that improve posture, balance and core strength, stabilise joints, increase muscle endurance and encourage mindfulness. And right now, it is dominating social media. A search for 'Pilates' on TikTok yields over 400 million results. No doubt you will have seen the viral videos of male bodybuilders wincing as they try a reformer Pilates class for the first time, or the morning routines of self-named 'Pilates princesses,' a trend of Gen-Z and millennial women who have made Pilates not only a lifestyle, but an aesthetic too. Picture Stanley Cup-wielding, tote-carrying women dressed in matching Lulu Lemon sets, going to their semi-weekly Pilates class where they perform mermaids, clams and The Hundred like synchronized swimmers, before grabbing an iced matcha on their way out of the studio. 'Pilates princess describes a lifestyle of self-care focusing on Pilates — in other words, a combination of fitness, wellness and luxurious way of living,' explains Maryliz Phillips, studio manager of Sol Pilates in Dubai. 'The concept of a 'soft life' seems to also be attached to the term of 'Pilates princess' where it refers to a lifestyle that prioritizes ease, relaxation and minimal stress.' Pilates has been around for over a century, so why the recent obsession? 'Pilates gives people what they're actually missing: presence,' say Elvina Mannapova and Rasha Bilal, founders of EVOLVE mind&body in Riyadh. 'Pilates isn't just about sculpting your body — it reconnects you to it. In a world full of social media, scrolling, and overstimulation, there's something special about slowing down enough to feel your toes move and realize, 'I exist. I'm here.''

Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Wednesday, July 9th
Looking for help with today's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle? Here are some hints and answers for the ... More puzzle. In case you missed Tuesday's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here: I'm a little late to this NYT Mini Crossword guide because they only become available to play at 7pm PT the evening before and that's the exact time my son and I went to an early showing of the new Superman movie! It's all in the timing. The good news is that I'll have a review of James Gunn's film up here on this blog very soon. The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it's free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you'll need the app to tackle the archive. Spoilers ahead! Before we get to the answers, here's the first letter for each word in today's Mini. Across 1A. Subsides like the tide – E 5A. Leggings lead-in to 'lemon' – L 6A. Poet Robert with a "cool" last name – F 8A. Manhattan neighborhood near the East Village – N 9A. Quick joyride – S Down 1D. Fairylike figure of folklore – E 2D. Poet Robert with a "hot" last name – L 3D. Weakly hit fly ball – B 4D. Food made using a bamboo mat known as a 'makisu' – S 7D. Quite the heavy weight – O Okay, onto the answers! Remember, spoilers ahead! Across 1A. Subsides like the tide – EBBS 5A. Leggings lead-in to 'lemon' – LULU 6A. Poet Robert with a "cool" last name – FROST 8A. Manhattan neighborhood near the East Village – NOHO 9A. Quick joyride – SPIN Down 1D. Fairylike figure of folklore – ELF 2D. Poet Robert with a "hot" last name – LOWELL 3D. Weakly hit fly ball – BLOOP 4D. Food made using a bamboo mat known as a 'makisu' – SUSHI 7D. Quite the heavy weight – OAF Today's Mini I got off to a good start on this one, knocking out EBBS, LULU and FROST pretty quickly and filling in ELF in the process. FROST isn't really 'hot' but it was the first Robert poet I could think of, and it worked. I thought I had entered the wrong word entirely when I got to 2-Down and another 'hot' Robert, but this one was Robert BURNS which makes more sense for a 'hot' name. I knew SUSHI but my baseball knowledge prevented me from getting BLOOP until I'd grabbed NOHO and SPIN. But I accidentally typed in NOHH and that screwed up TON and confused me for a second. This one took me 1:20. How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!

Big Apple in crisis over soaring egg prices
Complaints about the price of eggs may have started in the Rustbelt but now it's the talk of Manhattan. 'It's crazy. They're just soooo expensive', says a Lulu Lemon mum returning from a morning jog on Park Avenue. 'I need my post-workout eggs.' At Salt's Cure, a Tik-Tok famous brunch spot in Greenwich village, the proprietor has strategically placed cards next to the till to see off any potential egg-rage. 'Due to rising costs, the price of eggs has increased by 25 cents per egg,' the neatly printed cards explain. 'We appreciate your understanding and continued support.' Meanwhile, at a Whole Foods uptown, the egg crisis enveloping the Big Apple has left the shelves eerily barren. And at delis across the city, shopkeepers have taken to selling 'loosies' – single eggs for those unable to fork out $13 for a dozen. The unprecedented surge in US egg prices is being driven by the H5N1 bird flu epidemic which has ravaged America's cattle and poultry farms. More than 166 million commercial birds have had to be culled over the last three years, causing egg prices to soar and many consumers to become outraged. 'WTF, it's cheaper to paint an avocado than buy an egg this Easter!', notes a widely shared social media post this week. Eggs are a staple of the American diet in a way that they are not quite in Britain. Whether you live in a pile dwelling in Louisiana or in a high-rise on the Upper East Side they dominate menus and home cooking. Pancakes, waffles, tortillas, huevos rancheros and donuts are everywhere. And just as the Inuits have 412 words for snow, Americans have a highly developed egg-related lexicon. You can't go to a diner without knowing the difference between 'over medium' and 'over easy', for example. The shortage has become so acute that eggs are now being smuggled in their millions from Mexico, where they cost just $2 per dozen on average (an $11 saving). Since October, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have made 3,768 poultry-related seizures at the border – almost 10 times the number of fentanyl interceptions during the same period. The Trump administration is now scrambling to try and ease the hit on consumers and replenish stock by importing eggs from abroad. Trump himself said at a press conference recently that 'the only problem with eggs was Joe Biden,' adding that prices are now 'way down,' – a statement that has been widely disputed. Deals have already been secured with Turkey and South Korea, and others like Poland and Lithuania have reportedly been approached by the US government for talks about exporting their eggs too. 'When our chicken populations are repopulated and we've got a full egg laying industry going again, hopefully in a couple of months, we then shift back to our internal egg layers and move those eggs out onto the shelf,' Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told reporters at the White House last week. Back in Manhattan, New Yorkers are finding creative ways to cope. Over 50 delis across the city have introduced the 'Bird Flu Bailout' sandwich as an alternative to the classic bacon, egg, and cheese that's been the city's go-to hangover cure since the 1960s. The sandwich was created by the San Francisco startup 'Just Egg' and uses a mung bean-based substitute for eggs to craft the iconic take-away. 'Plants don't get the flu. Try one of our plant-based egg breakfast items today,' the sandwich's promotional ad reads.
