By the time you read this, I am likely in the upper itty-bitty corner of WA chilling at the in-laws casa before heading across the border to Vancouver. Kyle and I put in a bid for Olympics tix decades ago and, amazingly enough, we got them for a pretty stellar event. If you keep your eyes peeled to your TV sets during the men’s US v. Canada ice hockey game, I promise I will try my best to do something obnoxious enough to get some air time (think stars & stripes face painting). I’m currently… Read more >

Cough-E & a Caramel Apple Diggin’ the froth? Do it! Do the Stonyfield people know that their Oikos greek yogurt is borderline sinful when combined with apples? Caramel apples for breakfast with NO guilt whatsoever? Uh, that gets two thumbs up. Now that’s a dessert that Gigi can start her day with, controversy free. Maybe. Lunch was so boring, I almost don’t want to show it. Boca vegan burgers open faced on Vermont soft wheat bread with Tribe roasted red pepper hummus. You can’t go wrong when combining bread and hummus, so as basic as this… Read more >

PranaBar hooked it up!! I was soooo excited to try these bars. My work eats were long overdue for a newbie 🙂 Pairs of everything (salad, apples, bars). Salad #1 (spinach, asparagus, green beans, carrots, adzuki beans) Salad #2 (quinoa, peas, corn, dried cranz) Bar#1 (Coconut Acai PranaBar) Bar #2 (Mocha-walla Odwalla bar) Apple #1 (red gala) Apple #2 (yellow wahsington) I think it’s fairly obvious which part of my lunch I was most excited to try… (Aside from Larabars) I have never found a bar with such great stats. Seriously, this company has a… Read more >

The storm warnings on every media outlet… The closing of all NYC public schools… Yes, there were several red flags that should have clued me into the fact that this Wednesday would be far worse than the average hump day. But I’m never one to heed warning signs (that or I’m too dense optimistic to let them get to me…). Exhibit A: Favorite stila eye shadow smashed to pieces This photo was not taken at the time of the crime (4:45 am) but rather at 8 pm, after I returned home from an insane 14… Read more >

Work dayyyy… Big salad, small salad, Iced Oatmeal Raisin Luna bar, Honey Graham Z bar, Tazo chai tea, and 2 apples (gala and pinata) So yeah. Moving on to the last of the AAAA (refer back to part 1 & part 2 if you missed it)… 3. The last issue I want to tackle relates to my days off. I cut myself MAJOR slack on work days (probably more than I should). But let’s face it, completing a 12 hour shift shouldn’t equate to a get-out-of-jail-free card. It’s not brain surgery (it’s heart surgery –… Read more >
