Dear readers, I have a confession to make. I am a HUUUGE bibliophile. I’m talking THE Donald kind of huge. It’s fantastic and I really think people are gonna love it. I know words, and I know the best kind of words from books. People who read a ton are super cool and know the best words. (This has been proven by science). I wanted to switch it up and recommend my 15 favorite books to inspire and make you…
Did you know that even badasses need a little ME TIME? Yes, Chuck Norris loves bubble baths. Fact. Oscar the Grouch likes to light a candle and savor a cold summer wine spritzer. Fact. I love doughnuts and feel euphoria at that first bite. #DOUGHNUTS4LIFE We do so much trying to be put together adults and often times that brings forth a whole can of exhausted, underappreciated, and self-deprecating worms. (Those worms can really be hard on themselves). It may…
You my friend just fell into the BEAR TRAP OF INTERVENTION!!! No Pokemon here PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE!!! Seriously, put it down. Hey! I said put……You know I can see you right?!?! Just kidding if I was that good of a hacker I would have taken over multiple countries by now with my sidekick Pinky. (He’s a rat but he’s such a loyal friend). So real talk, social media has many wonderful aspects that make our lives fucking cake, but…
Breakfast has forever been deemed “the most important meal of the day” and that, turns out can lead to some angry opinionated people on the internet. Now that we have made strides in nutrition since the 50’s glory of food pyramids, I will say that no meal should be named the most important. Meals have feelings you assholes. However, it’s all in the approach baby. Skipping breakfast can set you up for bad choices and overeating later in the day….
Anxiety, what a bitch. It’s the rabbit hole of despair and the party pooper of the joys of being alive! We all fall trap to it too. That sneaky minx! Most anxiety stems from our own thoughts of the future even though very few events will change the entire trajectory of your life. Unless it is chronic, (in which case go see a professional I am no doctor and probably shouldn’t be trusted to eat without a bib on certain…
You don’t have to be a genius to understand that yoga has plenty of benefits. I mean, have you seen those pants you get to wear?!? (Men, don’t get jelly you can wear them too. #EQUALITY #PANTS) There’s more to it however than increased muscle tone, strength, posture, flexibility, and balance. (Although who doesn’t want improvement in those areas? I’ll tell you…the Fascists.) As badass, hardworking people of the tip community we deal with some astronomically rude customers, idiotic managers,…
I know the gym maniacs are gonna roll their eyes at first but plant based protein is WHERE THE PARTY’S AT! Designer proteins are well and lovely, but your body often does not get the memo that they are red carpet VIPs and they instead get stuck with the bouncer. Plant based protein comes from real food and therefore is highly absorbable. WHY NOT WHEY?!?! Whey is high in cholesterol. This is a bigger problem if you are training…
Food, food, oh glorious food how we love you! You bring us such delight but then comes the shame and slumpy feelings. It doesn’t have to be that way peeps life is all about balance. This post is about FEELING good. So I pose the question, DO YOU NEED TO DETOX? The answers may surprise you. Detoxing is not about weight loss but rather nutritional rebalancing. Your stomach wants to zen out too my friends!!! Toxins are anything your body…
Meditation has bazillions (real number) of health benefits backed by gamillions (also real number) of studies done by pashrillions (my last math class was in high school) of doctors and scientists. Seriously, it’s not just sitting cross legged and doing nothing it is training your mind to be harder, better, faster, and stronger. Meditation has proven to reduce stress, improve concentration, increase self-awareness, and up the likelihood of you being a happier human. It is a real health priority and…
We all work our fucking tits off right? The best way to reward your body is with a good night’s rest but we all know that doesn’t always pan out. Life gets in the way, and so does stress and other factors such as work and relationships. Take a knee players, I challenge you all to take charge and win this sleep game. Not just for the trophy and the glory, but for the damn privilege of knowing that you…
