Austin & Aspen (Kinda): Spartan Race
This post brought to you by Spartan Race. All opinions are 100% mine. Sort of like the Spartan 300 I used to take on with CrossFit, Spartan Race is a new revolutionary obstacle course—but with a twist—they give you a training protocol. From beginner trail racers and mud run participants to hardcore warriors, tough guys…
10 Worst Things About Living in _______________
I came across a pretty funny list: The 10 Worst Things About Living in Las Vegas. I’m not particularly fond of Vegas myself from several visits, but this guy lived there and is extra funny about why it was terrible … It inspired me! 10 Worst Things About Living in Austin It’s hard to make a list…
Hunger Games Workout
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.

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…
