Everything about this jacket is amaazing. Wear it running, walking, to the mall…even your thumbs will thank you.

Pumped Up Kicks

Every runner understands the agony of seeing a beautiful wall of running shoes only to realize your favorite model is the puke colored shoe hiding in the upper left corner. More often then not, Mizuno does NOT come through with the inspires. They are great running shoes, but nothing stylish. When I saw this black model I nearly jumped out of my old shoes with excitement…they are even prettier in person. I am convinced they ordered a new designer.

Bra of Champions

This sports bra is very affordable and comes in lots of cute colors. Yet another confirmation that Target > Walmart.

Pyramid Workout

This is a simple pyramid workout. The exercises are basic and straightforward. Take about a 15-30″ break in between sets, not much longer–it is supposed to be aerobic! You should repeat the pyramid until you lose feeling in your arms, this is indication that you have succeeded!

Set one: 15 pushups, 15 squat jumps, 30′ plank

Set two: 20 pushups, 20 squat jumps, 1′ plank

Set Three: 25 pushups, 25 squat jumps, 1’30″ plank

Set Four: 20 pushups, 20 squat jumps, 1′ plank

These headphones are sweat resistant, have a microphone, and fit nicely. What else could you need?

Love at first spandex.

If these shorts don’t change your life, they will most definitely change your workout.

Christmas time of fear?

Katie — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:16:49 +0000

Ahh yes. It’s that Christmas time of year. Smells of gingerbread waft through the air. Full piece waffle henleys are so cuddly, soft, and dare I say stretchy? Just two weeks after tuning into the Victoria’s secret fashion show and vowing to never eat a morsel of chocolate again; we find ourselves somewhat less motivated to eat from the ever-so-tempting spinach salad bowl. Females can finally understand what the Dream was talking as he sang about his inability to keep his “hand out of the Cookie Jar” On a more serious note. Here are some suggestions of how to avoid the crisco container and bottomless cookie jar: 1.) Yogacize, jog, or move your body in some way shape or form before embarking on any baking endeavors. 2.) Before eating any sugar, down some chlorella with your lemon water. Chlorella has natural detoxing agents. Your body will thank you. 3.) Play some relaxing holiday music, lucky for you Jbiebs just released a fabulously obnoxious Christmas album. This music will truly create ringing in your ears. 4.) If you are feeling extra healthy you should definitely substitute butter with coconut oil, your arteries will be smiling inside. Katie

Hey Yoga Girl

Katie — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:30:41 +0000

These guys are kinda legit. This video is fabulous in it’s mockery of the superficial aspects of yoga. I fear that popular culture is turning yoga into the opposite of it’s intended use. As the popularity of yoga increases, so do the various techniques and philosophies. A few months ago I found myself in crow pose with “Not Afraid” by Eminem being blasted into the surround sound speakers. As beads of sweat dripped down my sports bra, I felt like I was trapped in a scene from a rap video. This vision shattered all hopes of quieting my mind as Eminem’s angry voice relentlessly cursed at me through the speakers. I am in full support of the widespread growth of yoga practices, however I think its important that we not lose sight of it’s origins. Katie

Three Words. Oh She Glows. Angela is the Mary Magdalene of the foodie blogosphere. Her blog legitimately changed my life, or at least my palate. Entering her blog, is like scuba diving through a vast coral reef with multiple treasure chests in sight. Haha no but in all seriousness, Angela is pretty amazing. Angela is to my stomach like Brad Pitt is to my hormones. I eagerly check her blog morning after morning only to stumble upon new, exciting creations. This is my favorite recipe: This is a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blizzard, the ingredients are as listed: 2-3 Frozen Banana’s, 1-2 tablespoons of natural Peanut Butter, and broken up homemade peanut butter larabars. Throw it all in a food processor and dairy queen blizzards got nothin’ on you. Katie
