Nik: I WANT TO TRY SOULCYCLE AND BLOG ABOUT IT… ALEX, WANT TO TRY A CLASS WITH ME SOMETIME?
Coffee Talk
Nik: Have you heard of Egg Coffee? My aunt said that in Minnesota, her family used to crack an egg into steaming hot coffee, let it solidify, and then skim it out. The claim is that it adds a certain richness and clarity to the coffee. I did a little research and it’s really a thing. I love coffee and of course I have to try. This could be a complete disaster…
Alex: Egg coffee? I’m being judgmental and putting this in the ‘sounds gross’ category. I think I’m going to stick with my Bulletproof Coffee.
Nik: Evvvvveryone is drinking B.C., I just made it the other day. So good.
Alex: And super easy. That’s why I make it! Butter, heavy cream, and oil sure does a coffee good.
Nik: Wait, what? You’re suppose to use Ghee, coconut oil and vanilla extract.
Alex: What the f$ck is Ghee?
Nik: Clarified butter. Ayurveda considers ghee to be sāttvik or sattva-guṇi (in the “mode of goodness”), when used as food.
Alex: Who are you right now?
Nik: Have you heard of ‘oil pulling’?
Alex: No, but the sound of it takes my head straight to the gutter. Great, now I’m horny.
Nik: I don’t even know what we’re talking about anymore. I’m going to make Egg Coffee.
I’m obsessed with… Superfood Smoothies
Nik: I love this recipe book so much I want to make out with it. Julie Morris is mindful of sugar content, keeping it low, and also manages to infuse each recipe with loads of superfoods and vegetables. VEGGIES! Swear it, you can’t even taste them. The Chocolate Kale is my favorite.
Pump Up App
Alex: Pump. Pump. Pump it up! So you know how I’m trying to shed a few? Meet my personal trainer.
Nik: Hot.
Garage Sale Treasure
Nik: My aunt found this black leather pencil skirt at a garage sale. I love it.
Alex: There is a lot of awesomeness happening right now. Your aunt has some serious garage-sale-ing (SP?) skills. That’s a diamond in the rough if I’ve ever seen one. You are for sure going to get laid wearing that.
Growing Up or Growing Old?
Alex: No joke. This is real life; I’m either becoming a loser or a grownup. Both are scary. It’s a Saturday night and I am laying on the couch, relaxing in silence until I get bored of surfing the internet and ready to start reading or writing. The guy I’m sleeping with is already home passed out and my roommate is getting ready to go to a party at this beautiful house in the Palisades. Ready for the best part? My back hurts. Talk about change. A year ago I was bartending and going out 4-5 times a week. Granted I did have my writers class today which was immediately followed by a 6 hour shift at work. I started that whole server thing again until I get a real job. Sigh. I live with two other girls so having the place to myself is rare, I love when it happens. This post-college-pre-adulthood phase is weird. It’s a transition that you’re in long enough to be aware of. You have a lot more to be responsible for and that can sometimes be a buzz kill. I want to go out, but
I’m obsessed with… Epicurious App
Nik: Love this App. My recipe box is full. Looks like I’ll have to start hosting dinner parties again. And breakfast parties. And lunch parties.
I See London, I See France…
Alex: Okay serious question… do you match your underwear and bra? I’m not going to say why I want to know, just in case my dad ever reads this blog, but let’s just say I think it’s time I step it up in the undergarment department. My friends would agree, I used to have the ugliest undies. My mom used to go to Kohl’s and always came back with a bunch saying “there was a ...
Netflix Makes Me Horny
Alex: Have you heard of this awesome new website that streams media on-demand? It’s called Netflix!
Nik: (Silent. Blank stare. Thought bubble: Is she serious?)
Alex: Come on, I was being funny. Anyway, I’m not sure if I want to admit this or not, but I live on Netflix. We don’t have cable so what else is there to watch? Don’t answer that. I have my go-to shows: Parks and Rec, Louie, Scandal, Arrested Development, but recently I came across the “Max” feature. Have you heard of it?
Dress Winterization
Alex: Okay, so I love this dress. I wear it all the time in the summer. Can I make it work in the winter?
Nik: Definitely. Either throw on a black leather jacket and some booties with a messy bun or what about this…
