At a friend’s birthday party last week, there were tequila shots. And rather than not take tequila shots with the crew, they ordered me a water shot. I salted up my hand, grabbed a lime, and cheered with the rest of the gaggle of girls. Turns out, salt + water = seawater. Word to the…

Lisse Leggings + A Summer How-to-Wear
Leggings … that most-lambasted, favored by many a starlet, pants-substitute. It took me a little while to come around to the legging (and even longer to accept jeggings as part of my life). As summer approaches, what, erm, leg does the legging have to stand on? See, summer leggings are what caused my initial legging…
What did I eat my first day off of the HCG diet?
Well let me tell you: 1 cup hot cocoa made with heavy cream, cacao, and sugar, with a splash of coconut rum and frangelico. Splurge! Pad Thai from Sundeck … I ordered it just with veggies and shrimp (no noodles) but the peanut sauce and its inevitable accompanying sugar are a splurge. 1 bloody mary…

Take 10 Beverages: Get Your Sleep!
If there are two things I love and believe in in this world, they are sleep and young entrepreneurs. Ok, maybe there are a few more things, like love, integrity, and faith, but to make the point I’m about to make about the new Take 10 Beverages, I had to do a little selective selecting.…
Last day of the HCG diet!
Today, my friends, is Day 46 of the HCG diet, day 21 of phase 3, the primal hypothalamus-resetting stage. Wahoo! What will you eat tomorrow, Lyssa? I don’t know, anonymous blog reader asking the question. I am trying to decide. What do I miss this most? I honestly don’t miss much. I miss wine the…

Let’s Eat More Pizza (Primal Recipe)
This is the pizza that made me have to do the HCG diet steak day. I ate too much, but if you have better self-control than me you should most definitely eat this: This is the best pizza I have ever made. I said that last time too, but this one is better. Also, for the…
Around the Fitness Horn: Vanessa Hudgens CrossFits!
Vanessa Hudgens does a pretty sweet kettlebell workout AND works out CrossFit style. If that ain’t mainstream (hello High School Musical), I don’t know what is. Are You Elite? Elite: On the floor after a workout flopping around like he is having a seizure. Not Elite: Still wearing a shirt. Elite: Training at a gym…
SXSW Musings
I am not the first or last person to muse on this year’s SXSW festival, all 11 days of it. But here’s my take: this year was unlike any other year. Wah wah wah, that’s what everyone always says. BUT this year there was an undeniable uptick in numbers: 20,000 interactive registrants instead of the…
