One of the first things I ever pinned to Pinterest was this (adapted) recipe from Muffin Tin Mania, loving how simple it was: one blender full makes 12 servings, or one week’s worth of fresh green juice for two adults (with one cheat day somewhere in there), frozen in cupcake pans. Just pop one of the frozen cups into a blender, add coconut water or almond milk, blend, and go! Way easier and oodles cheaper than the juice bar or a fancy cleanse.
When I was a little girl (like many of you, I’m sure), I fantasized about running away with the circus. There was nothing more fun and romantic to me than the idea of being a trapeze artist or an acrobat on a bareback horse. I love animals, and thanks to my dance, gymnastics, and figure skating competitions, was no stranger to either stunts or sequins.
Home with a sick (but on the mend!) dog since Monday, I’ve been watching a lot of the Wimbledon women’s tennis tournament. (Petra Kvitova was KILLING it all week long, and definitely deserved the big win today. But I digress.)
My friend Isabelle just moved to NYC and went to work for a new (to me, anyway) startup called Wahanda.
Last night, my sister and I took my mom to see Black Swan for her birthday, and — unlike most of the reviews and reactions I’ve read of Darren Aronofsky’s new film so far — I really loved it and found it to be absolutely beautiful, visually and narratively.
I’ve been spending a lot of my free time getting into better shape. Sometimes I hit up cardio machines at the gym, but when I don’t have time, there’s always the option to work out at home.
Looking good while getting in shape shouldn’t break the bank. If you want to update your gym wardrobe but don’t want to refinance your home in order to do it, check out these 10 performance-level (yet budget-priced!) gym gear selections for active men and women.

As of June 21st, it’s officially summer again! For many of us, that means scrambling to get back into bikini (or Speedo)-worthy shape. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to find that same motivation to stay fit all year long, avoiding the dreaded pre-summer crash diets and crazy workouts?

Never fear, World Cup fans: the Gumshoes have gathered up a guide to the 5 Thrifty Things that will make the Dad in your life look like he actually knows his shit when it comes to soccer, er, football.
Summer is upon us, and for many of our hard-working dads, husbands, brothers or boyfriends, that means one very important thing: it’s time to hit the golf course. The difficulty of waking up for a 6 a.m. Saturday tee time aside, the game of golf has mass appeal.
