Pilates is not for the weak, let me tell ya. But I swear, every time I cancel ClassPass and go back on the app, it offers me 48 credits for $1. So hell yeah, I’m essentially taking 25-cent classes. The math is mathing. And not even girl mathing, just actually mathing. Highly suggest this money-saving life hack.

Also mathing? Free tickets, courtesy of moi. Okay, maybe not moi exactly, but me and the whole DoNYC + gracious venue. Whateverrrrr. Enter to win two tickets to see TLC & Salt-N-Pepa next month at Jones Beach Theater.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION

The days to catch a free outdoor movie are dwindling, so consider this your sign. If sunset with a side of peak cinema sounds like a good time, I highly suggest hitting at least one of these before summer wraps.
