I’m not big on certifications (not looking at Organic, cough, cough, or anything …). However, in the dirty-hippie aka clean beauty movement, the widely-recognized authority has always been the Environmental Working Group, so when they release a cert, it’s worth mentioning. (Also worth mentioning: I do NOT agree with all of the EWG’s positions or…
I’ve Master Cleansed, Hcg-ed, Whole30ed, and now, Purium Cleanse-d. Hell, they even call it a 10-Day Celebrity Transformation, so obviously this faux celeb has to try it. As everyone and their mom (including my mom, literally) is doing some sort of reset or cleanse for the new year, it seems like an apropos time to…
I average 2 nalgenes at work a day, and consider 3 nalgenes a good day. This doesn’t include a nalgene consumed during fitness—and I believe at least one nalgene should be consumed per fitness activity. In short, I’m all about hydration. I drink BCAAs and electrolytes and use lemon and do all sorts of things…
In this Manuka Secrets giveaway post, commenter Heatherette posted: Why do bees have sticky hair? Because they use honey combs. ? I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that attacks your secretion glands and causes dryness so I have been looking for something like this.

Right before she absolutely took over every magazine and blog ever (this month’s Vanity Fair, anyone?) with her phenomenal, luxurious, plant-based skincare line, I got wind of what the fabulous Tata Harper was up to on her farm in Vermont. She recently released a 15% discount with my affiliate link, and I realized that while I…
There are gift guides galore on the interwebs these days, so I thought I’d do a happy spin on them … this isn’t about specific gifts I love, but great places to shop for them. These six websites all donate to worthy causes or employ people in developing nations at fair wages or a little…
It’s officially Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which means pink products have taken over the interwebs and stores. When I donated blood, they even wrapped my arm in pink pre-wrap! It’s tough to know what products are just “pinkwashing” you and what products are actually benefitting breast cancer research, patients, or survivors. Of course, you could…

There are some things I don’t get about Austin. Like today when I was trying to find DaVine Foods for some sprouted grain pizza, and I stumbled into the Enchanted Forest where a man was welding some things and didn’t notice me as I walked by four times looking hopelessly out of place. Only in…
