How To Pack Your Ho-Bag

3 Comments

When you’re in your twenties, you’re probably going to be shacking up at someone else’s pad every now and then (or every other night, depending on your sex drive), so it’s important to prepare for such nocturnal excursions. Here’s a list of essentials to pack in your ho-bag.And you thought a ho-bag was just another derogatory name for some slutty person. HA! WRONG. Let’s take a sec and think about the genesis of the phrase: a “thirsty” person, who was smart enough to plan ahead, probably brought along a bag of tricks so they didn’t look like a hot little mess doing the walk of shame the next morning. Thus, the ho brought a bag with them; ergo, ho-bag.But what should you pack in yours??1. Pack for At Least 2 Days: It’s important to remember, when packing your ho-bag, that you may give into temptation or spontaneity and want to…

Hydrating with Aquavation

No Comments

If you’re ready to take your narcissism to the next level like I always am, I have the perfect solution that mixes fitness with your face – an Aquavation water bottle!Aquavation was founded by a husband and wife team, Marc and Sarah, who love to keep active. As a cyclist, Marc knows the importance of hydration when working out and more importantly, what his liquid fuel is being carried in. So many bottles nowadays are made with chemicals that you don’t want seeping into your drink or your rock hard bod. But Aquavation’s bottles are durable plastic little gems that don’t stain and are recyclable over time. I obviously was overjoyed when I got mine because, hello, there I was front and center. AND personalizing your bottle with your lovely mug ensures that no one will steal it from you (unless you have a stalker) because no one wants someone else’s…

Tennis Time in Frigo RevolutionWear

No Comments

New work-out clothes and BOOM – I’m the new Andy Roddick. Frigo RevolutionWear is a (pardon the redundancy) *revolutionary* underwear and active-wear brand for men that has legitimately transformed the way guys look at what they’re putting on their backs…and butts. And if I can’t speak for guys everywhere, it has at the very least revolutionized my view. Having sampled some of their products I MUST tell you that I will never work out in anything else ever again. Those free t-shirts from college I was using to go to the gym in? Buh-bye. Hello grown-up and stylish gym clothes. Their t-shirts, both v-neck and crew, are A-MAY-ZING because they come in a variety of materials, from lightweight mesh to a barely-there-comfortable cotton blend, both made in part with elastane. And if you’re a heavy sweater, these babies won’t cling to your back or torso. It’s literally like magic -…

No Comments

So it’s officially fall and you have a few months of eating healthily before the holiday temptation of sweets and carbs will rule your every thought.

Healthy Montauk Eats!

No Comments

A great thing I love about summers on the East End is the abundance of physical activity and ways to stay fit. Here’s a couple places in Montauk to grab a fresh and healthy bite after your hard day of playing on la playa…Whether your Soul Cycling your little heart out, surfing, playing beach sports, or grubbing down on some fresh and delicious cuisine, there’s no excuse why you can’t be healthy. In order to help you keep that toned beach bod you’ve worked all winter for, you have to check these places out:1. Naturally Good FoodsI always knew it as “The Health Food Store” – a title which didn’t always jive with my excessive alcohol consumption and perpetual lobster rolls – but Naturally Good Foods is fantastic. Ever since my new and improved health kick, I swear by this little spot located right in town. They even have a…

5 Runyon Canyon Do’s and Don’t’s

1 Comment

Runyon Canyon is one of the best ways to exercise in LA. Glutes? Core? Legs? Check, check check. Here are 5 Do’s and Don’t’s when you’re hitting the cliffs… 1. Peak Selfie If you don’t take a selfie when you get to the top then what the fuck are you doing with your life? You need to prove to everyone via Instagram how in shape you actually are so the next time you get black-out drunk you have photographic evidence to prove you’re not a COMPLETE waste of life. 2. Bring a Dog 90% of everyone there has some beast on a leash so if you want to fit in and don’t have a pooch of your own, borrow one. It’s A) a great way to meet people and B) a good motivator because dogs climb that shit FAST. Must be cause they have double the legs (?) Plus, they’ll…

Spin Doctor

1 Comment

I think I might be on a fitness kick. I’m down with eating healthy, pilates has become an old hat, the gym is becoming more of a frequent place for me to hang, and I’m motivated to look as best as humanly possible; I guess that’s what California living does to you (?) Add spinning to my list of new physical activity and you can view more about it from this post. Yes, I’m talking spinning, the crazy cycling class everyone has at least HEARD thanks to the blaring house music, screaming people, and sweaty smells that permeate each gym and/or studio. For some reason all these things appealed to me and I wanted to try it. The deafening techno-pop music wasn’t an issue because I used to work at Abercrombie, the screaming people would hopefully be drowned out, so it was just the dank sweatiness I had to overcome.…

Loud Lovin’

1 Comment

I just read an interesting article about how people who live in apartment buildings, or in close quarters with others, should not be embarrassed to have loud sex. I, however, disagree.I have interesting neighbors. Two of the kindest lesbians you’ll ever meet live just feet away (and refer to themselves as “old dykes” – a title I’ll never be comfortable with); a bearded, night-shift working, chronic pot-smoking, Bud Light loving man named Ike (alias) who keeps to himself isn’t far away; and the newest of the group, Karen (alias), a red-headed, big bootied, chihuahua obsessed lady who lives right above me moved in a few months back. And it was Karen that I heard having the most outrageous sex known to mankind.Now listen, I’m no prude, but Karen is upwards of 50, and she’s not especially easy to look at. If we’re going off outward appearances alone, I’d say she…

CURRENT STATE: SORE Derek had a free pass to the UFC gym where he’s a member and told me to check it out with him and his brother, Sean. So I’m amped. At work we TRY and do hourly pushups, but lately we’ve kinda been slacking so I was excited to whip myself back into shape. And whipped, I was.As soon as I walked in the gym, I was excited and petrified all at the same time. The trainer, who was my height and basically just one big muscle, wrapped up my hands in tape and gave me some gloves. The gloves were slime green, so obviously we had an unspoken understanding that I’d be channeling my inner Incredible Hulk tonight.Calisthenics were first and we did so many effing lunges I thought my legs were gonna fall off. When it was finally time to punch and kick the bag’s guts…

Guess What? We’re Not Dead.

No Comments

Unless you’re living under the Rock of Ages (which thankfully was not nominated for Best Musical), the Golden Globes are tomorrow night.  During last year’s award show, I stealthily tried to sneak into the event, which you can refresh your memory with HERE, but unfortunately was denied access into any swanky after parties.  So of course, there’s the impending decision if I should keep up with tradition and try to attend tomorrow’s red carpet as well. Thoughts?  Your opinions matter, everyone. In other news, HAPPY NEW YEAR.  Guess what?  We didn’t die.  Suck it, Mayans. Therefore, in response to not dying, I am really going to try and make myself some resolutions this year, because, you know, that’s what everyone does in January – makes stupid promises to themselves they know they won’t keep.  BUT, since I have this blog, I feel somewhat obligated and accountable for what I say…
