An (active) lifestyle blog. Archive January, 2014. The Carb-iest non Carb Ever. Well, I’ve been AWOLNation the past few weeks. I’m really sorry about that, but I’m not above bribing you with all sorts of fascinating information to share this week in return for your forgiveness. Pretty please? Because I am a proud consumer of carbohydrates. Seriously. Even pasta and real bread, if I’m out to a great dinner with the husband or at brunch with the girls. So wait, where was I? 8211; adapted slightly from Elan...

An (active) lifestyle blog. The Skinny on Processed Food. I’m just about to launch into the Real Food Reset program that my friend Rachele. From Fantastically Fresh and Fit. We’ve already had some seriously insightful, thought-provoking questions come up, but the one that really stumped me was “so….how exactly does one know if food is processed? I know, right? Here’s a little bit of a 101 when it comes to ID’ing processed foods:. 1 It comes in a bag, can, or package. (. 3 It doesn’t go bad. 4 My personal...

An (active) lifestyle blog. Archive March, 2014. Sushi Party, Sans Hangover. As far as I’m concerned, sushi ranks as one of the best foods ever. I could eat it every day, and while I don’t (mercury and such), I definitely have it once a week in some form or another- and I think you should do the same! To keep your dinner at an A health rating, minimize or skip the following:. 8211; Tempura = fried. You could also go to KFC if you’re in the mood for fried meat. Just saying. Fun to eat, tasty, high in fibe...

An (active) lifestyle blog. Skinny Strawberry Basil Smash. Alcohol is topic a lot of us health nuts like to sweep under the rug, as it’s really not like, super wonderful for you. Sometimes though, a drink comes calling, and you do what you gotta do. My opinion is generally pretty consistent about things that are enjoyable but not wonderful for us: enjoy in moderation. Because let’s be honest- never having a cupcake, a cheeseburger, or a glass of wine is kind of unfun. 2-3 medium basil leaves. Fill in you...

An (active) lifestyle blog. Archive February, 2014. I’ve never been a big fan of high heels. As much as I adore the way they look, I am definitely on the klutzy side (to put it mildly), and parading around in 4″ stilettos usually equates to me looking drunk as opposed to sexy. While in college, I studied abroad in London and was. I recently was given these puppies as a gift, and well, let’s just say I would sleep in them if I could. You can find these here. 1 New Balance 410 Suede Mesh. Just when I thoug...

An (active) lifestyle blog. Archive November, 2013. Thanksgiving Aftermath: Banish the Bloat. So, Thanksgiving. That happened. As wonderful as it is to enjoy laughter with loved ones, a huge freaking meal, and a night on the couch watching football while polishing off the wine and picking at leftovers, the aftermath is never pretty. I know that a. Rule #1. Do NOT crash diet-slash-not eat to “compensate.”. Rule #2. Eat your brekkie. Do not even think about skipping breakfast, even if you don’t feel ...

An (active) lifestyle blog. Thirsty Thursdays: The Moscow Mule Revival. You may or may not know this about me, but I’m. This take on the old standby is a much healthier version, complete with homemade ginger beer, lime juice, and coconut sugar. The homemade ginger beer is a little bit time consuming, but I promise you that if you take this to your next dinner party, you’ll be talked about forever. In a good way, of course. 1 cup sliced ginger root. Pellegrino or other sodium free sparkling mineral water.

An (active) lifestyle blog. Thirsty Thursdays: Spicy Watermelon Mint Cooler. When temps soared the 90’s last week at the beach, I was inspired to create a version of my favorite summer juice, spiked with a little vodka and a dash of cayenne pepper, of course. This cocktail has the makings of a winner: refreshing, a little spicy, and hot pink. 1/2 or more cup of cold-pressed watermelon juice. 2 lemons, squeezed. 1 lime, squeezed. Shake of cayenne pepper, optional. Splash of soda water, optional. You'...

An (active) lifestyle blog. Skinny Raspberry Jalapeno Margs. Here’s a fact about me that you may not know: once upon a time, I lived in London and was a bartender. While the majority of what I made was pretty simple, I spent a lot of free time messing around behind the bar, creating cocktails. As a result, I’ve been the resident bartender among my friends ever since. I’m not a huge drinker these days, but I must admit that it’s. 4 ounces tequila (I prefer Reposado, but whatever you’re into). I jalapeno, ...
