“Wasabi Chips: Wakes you up with every bite!” Or turns you into a self-cannibalizing zombie. Whatevs. On some level your body just knows when something is artificial. It’s why we all have had such a negative gut reaction to Hugh Heffner marrying then not-marrying then replacing that random blond he was “engaged” to for publicity …

Man, I miss Calvin! Burping noxious flavors is my primary concern when deciding what to eat pre-workout. I know some athletes carb-load while others swear by fasted-state cardio and still others strive for a balanced meal 1-3 hours before getting their sweat on. And let’s not forget the smoothie/shake contingent! ( The difference between a …
Sprinkles for chest hair! Now all my cooking problems are solved! Thanks Tom Selleck (and Emma, you lucky lucky girl)! Coffee cake is one of life’s nicest niceties.

Two questions: Why would anyone ever buy a flesh-colored bikini? With suits in every imaginable color and pattern, who looks at this and thinks “You know what’s hot?

My frugality and fitness fanaticism are not mutually exclusive – in fact once you get past your Lululemon loving, living healthier saves you money in a lot of ways – but the one big health tip that everyone from Dr. Oz to Oprah to Jillian Michaels to PETA to Mark Sisson agree on is the …
