reviewed Patagonia Women's Alkali Shoe. May 12, 2009
Patagonia Women's Alkali Shoe
I used to always say that I'm not a shoe person, but after dragging my boyfriend along my last few shopping trips, it's pretty apparent that I am (to him, at least)! I guess the difference is that I am …
reviewed Patagonia Women's Better Sweater 1/4-Zip. May 12, 2009
Patagonia Better Sweater
My favorite Patagonia pullover is now over ten years old. I had been waiting for years to replace it because a) it still fit and was in pretty good shape and b) I'm cheap. So when I stopped by the original …
reviewed Bigger, Stronger, Faster. April 18, 2009
Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
I love documentaries. Probably more than your average 20-something, but I really do! This film was especially interesting because it addressed the much debated topic of steroid use in professional sports. …
reviewed Michael Pollan. April 18, 2009
Michael Pollan
There are plenty of people taking a stand against the troubled food industry, but Michael Pollan has been one of the most vocal about the importance of eating practices that support good health, environmental …
reviewed Popgadget.net. April 18, 2009
Popgadget
Most technology magazines and gadget sites strongly favor products that appeal to men. But what about the rest of us? Popgadget is the answer to our prayers. It's an online magazine that recognizes that …
reviewed Atkins. April 18, 2009
Atkins
We've all been fooled before, but when a diet allows you to eat bacon double cheeseburgers without the bun, it's bound to be too good to be true. I still hear people talking about watching their carbs …
reviewed Guayaki Yerba Mate. April 18, 2009
Guayaki
I first came across Guayaki Yerba Mate while I was looking for an alternative to coffee. During my first few years of college, I had become completely dependent on having coffee everyday, and I just didn't …
reviewed The End of Overeating: Taking Control.... April 18, 2009
The End of Overeating
This book attempts to answer the question of why we have become a society that is quite literally eating itself to death. Kessler, a former commissioner for the FDA, exposes the secrets of the food industry …
reviewed Rocky. April 18, 2009
Rocky
I rarely have the desire to watch a film more than once, but for some reason, I keep coming back to Rocky. It is one of the best sports films of all time and there's no question why -- it appeals to everyone …
reviewed Grist.org. April 10, 2009
Grist.org
I've had this review in drafts for a couple of weeks (it has been a bit busy around the Lunch office lately), but I was inspired to write it when I found out that Grist.org had been redesigned in honor …
reviewed Chaturanga Dandasana. April 08, 2009
Four-Limbed Staff Pose
Yoga and surfing just go well together. There are so many similarities between the two sports that it is easy to see why they compliment each other. It makes sense that yoga is beneficial for improving …
reviewed Harvest Song Tea-Rose Petal Preserves. March 31, 2009
Harvest Song Tea-Rose Petal Preserves
When you purchase a jar of Harvest Song jam, you feel like you bought yourself a little homemade gift. Wrapped in colorful sun-dried rice paper from Nepal, the jar seals in the freshness of sun-drenched …
reviewed Trader Joe's Dried Hibiscus Flowers. March 27, 2009
Trader Joe's Dried Hibiscus Flowers
I get teased enough for being a vegetarian by people who think I eat "bird food," and yes, I am now admitting to eating flowers. Allow me to explain.    Dried hibiscus flowers are …
reviewed Gaiam. March 26, 2009
Gaiam
Gaiam is one of the most well-known yoga companies for good reason. Its products are built specifically for yoga -- from mats and straps to clothing and instructional DVDs. There are few brands out there …
reviewed SOYJOY. March 19, 2009
SoyJoy
I've literally tried every nutrition bar out there. As a competitive swimmer in college, my trainer recommended Balance Bars and before that my coach was all about high protein bars like METRx and Power …
reviewed Bikram Yoga Manhattan Beach. March 18, 2009
Bikram Yoga Manhattan Beach
I've been to quite a few Bikram yoga studios and this one has a few unique offerings worth checking out. If you've never tried Bikram, this is a great place to start. They offer a $30 package for a week …
reviewed Twitter. March 13, 2009
Twitter
When I first heard about Twitter, I really didn't get the appeal. Who really cares what I'm doing? It took me months to warm up to Twitter and to figure out why it was worth my time and attention. Why? …
reviewed Voit Original Duck Feet Fins. March 12, 2009
Voit Original Duck Feet Fins
This might seem like a bizarre topic to review, but hey, where else are you going to get this kind of advice? If you are looking to enhance your body surfing, body boarding or ocean swimming skills, buying …
reviewed Speedo Small Pro Backpack. March 03, 2009
Speedo Small Swim Backpack
For years, 12 to be exact, I carried around the same Speedo backpack to and from practice. While it was great for swim meets when I needed to store multiple towels, parkas and Uggs, it was just too big …
reviewed Brett Dennen. February 24, 2009
Brett Dennen
I rarely write music reviews, but when an artist really inspires me with some thoughtful, poetic lyrics that the rest of the world needs to hear, I can't hold back. I believe that a healthy dose of music …
reviewed Santa Monica Main Street Farmers' Market. February 11, 2009
Santa Monica Farmers Market
I've been to dozens of farmers' markets over the years in multiple cities and states and I can honestly say that this little market is the friendliest and most unique to date. Why?     Atmosphere: …
reviewed iPhone 3G. January 22, 2009
iPhone
When I finally made the decision to buy the iPhone, I was amazed at how many features I could add to make it my own personalized, portable, mini computer. I've always avoided buying a Blackberry because …
reviewed The China Study: Startling Implicatio.... January 11, 2009
The China Study
I have so much to say about this book that I don't know where to start. For a nutrition junkie like me, this book was everything I imagined it would be and more. I honestly believe that if every person …
reviewed Wabi-Sabi Sushi. January 09, 2009
Wabi Sabi
Wabi-Sabi is truly something special. Located in the beautiful beachside city of Venice, CA, it offers some of the freshest sushi I've ever tasted, with decent prices and artful Japanese cuisine. I've …
reviewed Crushcakes Cupcakery. January 09, 2009
Crushcakes Cupcakery
I'm a self-proclaimed cupcake connoisseur ... so I have pretty high expectations when I shell out a few bucks to try a new cupcake. When I heard that there was a cupcake shop in downtown Santa Barbara, …
reviewed High-Fructose Corn Syrup Ad 1. January 09, 2009
HFCS
These commercials make HealthyRache very angry ... that's right ... ANGRY. I can't believe they are allowed to spread such harmful, inaccurate, deliberately confusing statements to an already misled audience. …
reviewed Lost. December 31, 2008
Lost
I first saw Lost midway through the first season and I had no idea what was going on. It had no appeal to me. So when I found out a friend had the box set of the first two seasons a year later, I spent …
reviewed The Tipping Point: How Little Things .... December 31, 2008
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a
At first glance I thought this book was only going to interest marketers and not appeal to a broader audience, but I was wrong. The entire thing is engaging (no dull parts or sections to gloss over) and …
reviewed Ryka. November 13, 2008
Ryka Running Shoe
Until recently, Ryka was a lesser known brand. Now that Kelly Ripa has joined their latest television ad campaign, they've started to get a little more attention. I've had Ryka shoes for the last 6 years …
reviewed Merrell. November 11, 2008
Merrell Hiking Shoe
Every pair of Merrell shoes I've bought have been incredibly comfortable and supportive. I took my hiking shoes on a pretty steep trail up to Manoa Falls (on Oahu) last summer and was surprised at just …
reviewed O'Neill Wetsuits. November 11, 2008
O'Neill Wetsuit
My very first O'Neill wetsuit lasted a full six years before I grew out of it, but it never quite fit the way a wetsuit should. During ocean swims in the icy cold waters off the California coast, my wetsuit …
