Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day!
Unfortunately, neither Austin nor Aspen has a Ben & Jerry’s, and the Denver airport B&J’s isn’t participating (too many free cones?) … but just in case you’re traveling somewhere that does have a Scoop Shop (San Antonio?), I recommend you get there immediately. Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz is my fave shop-only flavor (you can’t get it…

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…
