Brunettes win! In a low-scoring game, a last-second touchdown led the Brunettes to a 6-2 stunner over the Blondes, who were rendered scoreless by the Brunettes’ stifling defense.

Here’s How I’m Gonna Un-Overtrain
If I’m even overtraining 🙂 Anyway, I’m gonna take on this 24 Day Advocare Challenge that Megan (and Alex … and Jess) is so pumped up about. I’ve only tried Advocare once before, during Spartan last year, and I didn’t think it made a huge difference. BUT so many of my friends swear by it…

Overtraining or Injured?
I was talking to my frequent training partner, who also happens to be a nurse and incredibly nutrition savvy, V, the other night, and she mentioned something I hadn’t keyed in on in my quest to understand what’s going on with me – I’ve been injured. The shoulder still hurts, a lot. I can’t do…

In an event you’d think you’d see in Texas, Snowmass is hosting the 7th annual unofficial summer kick-off, The Chili Pepper & Brew Fest.

Below I’ll list the companies I have invites to if you want to join, but first, some nerding-out business news about these sites. According to WWD, the leading four members-only shopping sites are HauteLook, RueLaLa, Gilt…
The TOMS Wedge
I did not jump on the TOMS bandwagon, despite thinking it’s awesome that they donate a pair of shoes for every pair sold, the bottom line is that TOMS are just plain ugly. I mean, the wrap-boot-mummy atrocity that they put out after the slip-ons? I die. And not in the Rachael-Zoe-I-Die-Is-Good-Way, in the way…
Austin: Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka
The better-than-Firefly Texas-only Sweet Tea Vodka has been mentioned on this blog for months, as you could snag some at the EndlessBeauty.com launch party, The Blondes vs. Brunettes 4th & Goal Gala, or any number of other events since SXSW in March, apparently it’s OFFICIALLY launching this month. Because, naturally, June is National Iced Tea…
CrossFit Haters are Funny
One of my favorite things about CrossFit is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously … I mean, there are PEOPLE that take it too seriously, but by and large, even they know who they are. Funny, sarcastic post from Moynihan Institute via Conditioning Research … he rips on everything from Vibrams to abs to:…
