I must have been box jumping for fitness for at least 14 years, assuming I started in college during plyometric workouts for basketball. And yet while I tore the side of my knee open once by not clearing a hurdle during plyos and trying to straddle it once I knew I wasn’t going to clear it…
Eat ALL the Breads! BFree!
A followup to Half a Burrito! and Eat ALL the Pasta … in which I ate ALL the breads but it was okay because they’re BFreeFoods sliced breads and rolls and bagels—BAGELS!—and they’re low cal and gluten free and even relatively low carb. Buy at Ralphs or online (where it appears they’re currently sold out of most…

The mama, the mini, the mulligan | Feel Good Friday 112015
The mama The mini The mulligan … Won’t let me take a picture of him, but suffice it to say that my Toronto vacation turned into sleeping in a hospital chair followed by a Scandal marathon with a grouchy, drugged-up fella friend missing a body part. So I will need a Canada mulligan.
Nike x Pendleton
Last Christmas it was Pendeleton x Ugg and now this?! As if I wasn’t already obsessed. Customizable Pendleton Nikes?! Are you kidding me?! You can even put all the Pendleton patterns on one shoe! (But, don’t. That would look terrible.) Available in Air Max 90s (pictured), Air Force 1s high, mid, and low, and some sort of Roshe…
Basketball | Feel Good Friday 111315
From about eighth grade on, my life revolved around basketball—pickup, practice, drills, rec league, school teams, AAU, open gyms, the sport court we built just for me on the side of our house. My high school and early college experiences centered around basketball, and I loved it. I love sports, teams, camraderie, physicality, training, playing,…
The Bird: The True Story of Why I Feel Guilty Buying and Wearing a Poncho With Sleeves
My mom owns a garment we call The Bird. It is a full-length poncho. Like a person blanket. With arm holes. Likely someone hand-knit the thing for her, twenty years ago before sleeping-bag-onesies were a real thing (and what a cool real thing they are). Admittedly, The Bird is warm on a cold winter’s night,…
Secret Pasta Recipe from a Famous French Guy
One of the scene-iest scenes in Orange County is Fig & Olive, so when I found out FIG & OLIVE’s founder/owner Laurent Halasz was releasing a cookbook AND throwing a party to celebrate it, obviously I was in. The party was fabulous and the food obviously divine, but the highlight of the evening was Laurent stopping…
