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.
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
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…
Alex: The cool thing about having an internship at WBR is that it’s part of my job to listen to music. I stumbled upon this while I was doing some work and let me tell you, I’m OBSESSED. It's too early to tell, but this may be my all time favorite cover.
Alex: A close friend from high school recently got married. She’s my first girlfriend to get married. I was in the bridal party so I was there when they got married. I can’t stop saying the word married. I think it’s because it scares me a little. I know I’m only 24 and people say that I’m young, but it doesn’t change the fact that every now and then I’m overwhelmed with the pressure of ...
Alex: You’re not going to believe what happened to me a couple weeks ago… I went to the Friends and Family (FNF) Pre-Grammy party! I know that people in the industry act like it’s no big thang, but to me it’s like finally getting invited to sit with the populars at lunch. I’m still smiling like a little kid who just got their first play station. I was so nervous. You know that overwhelming feeling ...
Alex: I read something the other day that really stuck with me. Nik, remember when you came over right before you left to go home for Thanksgiving and I was having a bit of a freak out moment? I was overwhelmed with finding a job, being away from home for the holidays for the first time, keeping up with how expensive it is to live in LA, etc.? I was pacing back and forth, steam ...
Nik: The older a person gets, the faster the ass heads south. It’s not okay. You know what is okay? Circuit Works. I get so bored with gym workouts and kind of can’t stand classes, but this is the perfect place for my scattered mind. It’s an interval/circuit training workout that rotates through a series of stations combining aerobic and weight training exercises. The music is loud, the instructors motivating, and your mind is engaged because you’re quickly moving through the different stations.
Nik: A friend told me about My Fit Foods. It’s great. I’m a huge fan. I’m not trying to lose weight, but I find cooking for one to be rather dull, not to mention expensive, so I stock up on meals for the week from this place. Someone with OCD more severe than mine definitely organized the store. You walk in to find walls of refrigerators organized by breakfast, lunch and dinner. Within
Nik: Green juice. I’ve been doing this for over a year, but I love it and wanted to share. Every Sunday I buy five green juices from Pressed Juicery or Juice Crafters and line them up in my fridge for the week. It’s the first thing I drink every morning. This simple ritual puts me in a healthy state of mind. We’re lucky to live here because you can find a
