Grass-Fed Meat
I eat only free-range, grass-fed meat, free-range chicken, and wild-caught fish. I’ve been eating this way for over 3 years, and I think it’s important for health, happiness, and the environment. When I started CrossFit about a year ago, the big thing was the Zone Diet. Well, there’s no way in hell I’m measuring and…
Two-a-days start now
EndlessBeauty.com is the new website I’m working on, and it is absolutely awesome. The concept is awesome, the team is stellar, and the office is like a sorority house. For the month of April, we’re taking on the Endless Beauty Extreme Body Challenge, where we do Relentless Bootcamp coached by CrossFit Central’s Zach Thiel, a…

Primo Chalk!
Austinite CrossFitter and Olympic lifter Jeremy Brooks has created a new kind of chalk called PrimoChalk. As someone who constantly battles ripped hands, I am intrigued … especially because I am still a girl and I like things that say they contain essential oils. They say: “In PrimoChalk™ we’ve combined quality magnesium carbonate with a…
Getchya Guerilla Suit
As we all “get back to business” now that SXSW is over (phew … I spent most of Sunday on my couch watching Center Stage 2: Turn it Up), there’s a really cool opportunity for someone really getting back to business: earlier this month, agency vets James Moody and Kevin Whitley announced the creation of…
