Classes begin TODAY at new indoor bootcamp-style HARDCORE studio, which offers 4 different classes geared toward training women to get, well, hard cores. Last week I had the pleasure of trying out original Hardcore and Hardcore Stretch, and I thoroughly enjoyed both. HARDCORE™ They say: A low impact yet high intensity workout for women. The…

Analyze This: Twitter Edition
According to AnalyzeWords‘ sweet website, here’s my personality based on the last 636 words I tweeted: Spacy/Valley Girl High?! ME?! DON’T THEY UNDERSTAND SARCASM? Ha, while they’re at understanding sarcasm they should also learn to spell spacey. Technically “spacy” is correct, but who spells it like that?! PS, dictionary defn: 1. Stupefied or disoriented from…

Leggings: A Tutorial
Dedicated to my mom, who has abstained from leggings for over a year just because I said so. I just got back from a week in Colorado (blame the Vermonster), and I am pretty sure that I rocked the leggings/boots combo for over 50% of the time. Little-known perk of cold-weather dressing: you can wear…
Summit on the Summit + PUR Giveaway Winner!
This website is AMAZING: http://summitonthesummit.com. You can scroll up the mountain and follow the hikers, check all their vitals (Jess’ heart rate was at 88 last time I checked), see pics, tweets, and more. It’s really cool, check it out. But I know you’re all really here to see who won the PUR water filter…
UT National Championship Game Watching Parties
Obviously every bar in a 100-mile radius of Austin will be showing THE BIG GAME, and people will be out watching and hopefully celebrating despite the “BIG CHILL” of oh-ten. I will be in Denver, Colorado, also freezing my ass off because the only burnt orange I own is a t-shirt, and cheering and jumping…
Achachay! at TC’s / I am not so good at music
Imma let you in on a lil secret. I recently wrote about TC’s Lounge for Austin Monthly’s Cool Things issue, as it is an undoubtedly Cool place. I got most of my information on the joint from Achachay!’s drummer, one Mr. Ryan Greenblatt. While his sunglasses may arise a Stevie Wonder in you as to…

Corn-chip-eating cow, WWF-inspired corn stalk versus bean wrestling match, and “kick the corn” football game are just a few of the all-ages activities. Plus…
