Last week, I got the incredible opportunity to join Ben & Jerry’s Millennial Advisory Board. We flew out to Vermont for three days of training, talking, and LOTS of eating ice cream. Here are a few photos: As if I didn’t already love Ben & Jerry’s, this experience cemented their awesomeness. The…

Winners! for Forks Over Knives
I’m glad so many of you entered to win tix to the advanced screening of Forks Over Knives and are interested in health! If you didn’t win, the film opens to the public May 13 at the Arbor, so I still encourage you to go. Without further ado, chosen by random number generator, the five…
Stronger Faster Healthier + Discount!!
No, literally: You can get Stronger, Faster, and Healthier with the goodies from this company. They’re perhaps most famous for their fish oil (@SFHfishoil is, after all, their company twitter handle), but that’s not why I quite literally became obsessed with Stronger Faster Healthier. No, it’s their grass-fed whey protein that first attracted me, and the…

Some say the antioxidants are much better, others aren’t so sure.…

Austin: hopdoddy burger bar
All the way from Aspen, the buzz on hopdoddy burger bar is loud. So obviously it was one of my first stops as soon as I got back to town. In the old Cissi’s Market spot on South Congress, hopdoddy burger bar is serious about meat but whimsical without being cheeky everywhere else. Great vibe, and it…
