In her 2016 book,The Living Clearly Method,Mrs.

She also includes actual recipes.
You know, for eating and such.
Its fine, if generic.

They take aim at the anxieties of their zeitgeist for sell remedies for them.
So what, then, doesThe Living Clearly Methodtell us to be, and why?
Ill get to all that big picture stuff.
We dont have permission to include the photo here, so I recreated it for you.
Anyway, its a unique position to be in, to be sure.
There are many others showcasing Hilaria in stilettos in various yoga poses.
I found these altogether delightful.
They were my favorite things.
I disagree with the people on Goodreads who say they found them elitist and ridiculous.
There should be even more of them.
This book should have been a calendar.
But one must acknowledge that the House of Baldwin has been beset by some scandals.
A rather harmless one, and also my favorite, is Hilariasunique relationshipwith Spanish identity.
Hilaria is from Boston, Massachusetts.
I feel you, hermana!
Its always good to bring clarity to a situation like this.
One might say she wasliving clearly.Viviendo con claridad.
All this is to say: I had certain expectations when I opened this book up.
But to be honest with you, I found Hilaria likable.
It was the skinny bitches.
Some of these might sound kind of close to each other, and they kind of are.
Perspective and grounding, in particular, are a bit blurry in my mind.
But the gist of it is that we go about much of our daily lives without being present.
This is actually pretty true!
I got the sense that Hilaria is probably an amazing yoga teacher.
I do think my third eye would open a little bit during my savasana in her class.
There are, of course, some moments that stuck out to me as unintentionally funny.
She writes about how they met.
Alec Baldwin was sitting two tables away and overheard her.
As she was leaving the restaurant, he said, Who are you?
I must know you.
Thats some powerful manifestation abilities.
Like, warlock tier.
I am going to try this at Bocca di Bacco.
She also mentions that she and Alec have a phrase engraved on their wedding rings.
The phrase reads: Somos un buen equipo, which means, We are a good team.
There was no photo of the paella, and I will not be making it.
I wish I could take her yoga class.
She also said our not-so-smart phones on page 75.
I love stuff like that from corporate-approved wellness types.
Thats what I want.
So, despite some very distracting acrobatics, I dont have much to say about Hilaria Baldwin.
Feeling stuck in your job?
Frustrated that you cant seem to kick your tendency for tardiness?
Cracking under the stress of balancing your family with your career?
To be clear, I do this!
So Im certainly not judging anyone for it.
All for a fee, of course.
In which case, that is the answer.
