The weather in Aspen has been absolutely amazing, rendering it completely impossible to imagine working out anywhere but outside in Nature’s Garage Gym. This time, though, I took to Hunter Creek Trail for a trail run with strength workout mixed in and it was AWESOME. Running up the trail, dodging rocks, boulders, sticks, a little…

No, Really, You Can Drink More Water
I’m a huge proponent of drinking more water. I write about it all the time, perhaps ad nauseum. But there’s no reason not to, as water has billions of health benefits, beauty benefits, skin benefits, athletic performance benefits, diet/satiety benefits … the list goes on! I’m usually pretty good about getting my 64 ounces in…
Butternut Squash Lasagna Cups
I finally made a recipe I’d been wanting to make for awhile: butternut squash lasagna cups, from Pinterest. I like lasagna, but I don’t love it like I love pizza. But it has a lot of the same elements, so you’d think I’d love it just as much … anyway, I haven’t spent much time…
Cosmetics 27, My New Favorite Skincare Regimen (or, why I sometimes wish I was still a beauty editor)
Super moisturizing. Solid. Silky. Undeniably luxe. Chemical-free Cosmetic 27 skincare line is undeniably amazing and so very French. Cosmetics 27 dispenses with the notion of complicated skincare and focuses on a simple two-or-three-step regenerating skincare regimen: Cleanser 27 + Essence 27 (+Baume 27, if you like) and maybe Eyes27 (I didn’t try it). On the website they have…
Austin: Best Dog-Friendly Places
Call it the coolest job ever: blogger Will Kearney and his Rhodesian Ridgeback Mr. Eko are traveling the country for Purina’sPetcentric.com blog Marking Our Territory. They stopped over in Austin during SXSW and awarded the following places with their “Best of Petcentric Places” awards. I have to say, I’m jealous of the job and I more or less agree…

Back to Nature’s Garage Gym
It’s only mid-March, but Aspen is experiencing an early spring, so it’s back to Nature’s Garage Gym for me! I was NOT feeling working out today, with an intense sunburn from Miami, but I did it anyway (it was the Hap for the day, and how can I not do that?) I ran down the Rio…
