Insanely rich in color and texture, Kosas lipsticks are awesome. They have literally changed the way and frequency with which I wear lipstick. Granted, I was already getting into it with Urban Decay, and I do still love some of the crazier shades offered by UD. Kosas are different. Kosas are for every day, for…
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…
Feel Good Friday is a gratitude list I write each week to express my appreciation for all of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments! Mama’s visit! Lots of hangout time + brunch at Eat Chow TWICE Finally…

No, it’s their grass-fed whey protein that first attracted me, and the…

He is a 2-time Olympian, 6-time National Champion, and the American Record Holder in the Clean and Jerk. Chad has been involved in CrossFit for the past year, and is CrossFit…
Mama and I have long experimented with finding a good nails place — a place that was cheap but not dirty, easy to get in to but not scarily empty, and produced a decent mani & pedi. When we found Embellish (a post from before I’d even had a mani there), we were pretty much…
For a video interview (peep it here) for EndlessBeauty.com, a colleague and I hit up My Fit Foods, who is sponsoring us for two weeks of our Extreme Body Challenge. In Austin, My Fit Foods was quickly a big hit with the CrossFit community but has recently faced some fierce competition from the likes of…
