How 100 Calories Helped Me Do Things I Love: GoMacro

Seriously, these 100-cal GoMacro bars are the perfect bite to pop between football games to stay energized without feeling full. Good bars are hard to find, which is why I generally don’t rely on them for snacks. But they’re so convenient! So when GoMacro offered to send me some 100-calorie samples, how could I say no?…

Happy Makeup: Urban Decay

For lack of a better way to define my chemical-free, eco-friendly type makeup and skincare requirements that are absolutely flexible based on how my skin or face looks, let’s call it happy makeup. Like happy cows, chickens, and wild fishes—which are the only animals I will consume. It’s hard to find products that are chemical-free that…

Put a Bikini on It! <3 #aerieREAL

This: The #aerieREAL campaign isn’t just an ad launch but a complete overhaul of the way aerie, the lingerie(ish) spinoff of American Eagle, treats its models. The new crop of models on the website and in the ads are not retouched, so there are moles, piercings, tattoos, skin wrinkles, and more. And they look like…

Finding Ease in Discomfort

Over at DailyHap.com today, I talk on camera about finding ease in discomfort. Here’s what you don’t see: we literally shot this video 12-15 times. Which means I sat in Pigeon Pose for VERY extended periods of time, on each side. It’s actually something I keep thinking I’ll do—just sit in Pigeon while I watch…

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…

I have decided I think about food too much

I spent this weekend with a new set of friends. A non-Paleo-eating, non-CrossFitting set of friends, who I watched consume foods I haven’t even considered eating for years. YEARS. Maybe ever. (Powdered donuts? Slurpees?) I’m certainly not judging, and they didn’t judge me for my eating habits (gotta love them for that), but it is interesting…

Everyone Should Try Miracle Noodles

You guys might not know this, but I used to be a noodle fanatic. Growing up, I would eat whole wheat noodles for breakfast and dinner with parmesan cheese, nothing else. Needless to say, in my paleo or at the least gluten-free life, I’ve tried a lot of noodle substitutes. I love spaghetti squash noodles. I…

Aspen: Mountain Naturals $6.50 Burger

Burgers aren’t hard to find in Aspen (LOVE Belly Up’s double and sweet potato fries!!) But burgers under $10? Rare. So when Mountain Naturals, the crunchy store in the ABC, announced lunch specials like a $6.50 burger, I had to check it out. Served on an english muffin with as many toppings as you’d like,…
