Best Summer Sunscreens

Published by

If you're dying to look like an albino vampire like me, THIS IS YOUR ANSWER! Or, if you want to just be a smart person, lather yourself up in these sunscreens then get a spray tan. (I've tried that and just look like Tan Mom/a lunch shift stripper, and also I'm just lazy, so I stay my natural translucent shade of pale.) There is NO REASON not to wear sunscreen on a daily basis. I am trying to save your life because I am a good person. If that is my one legacy, I'm cool with that - the girl who tried to be a writer/actor, but succeeded in preventing skin cancer for the Heels in the Hills readership of her mom's book club and some super nice strangers who leave super nice messages that serve as verbal antidepressants! Here's what I use, whether it be on the daily, out for a run or at the beach...View Article

Spicy Vegan Broccoli Soup

This might just be my sexiest, most interesting and unforgettable post yet... SOUP!!!!! Spicy vegan broccoli soup, to be specific. But one of the *cool (*terrible and very difficult for me to accept) things about turning 30 is that I can no longer maintain my steady diet of tacos, pasta, frosting and wine without slowly becoming Mama in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." So, to balance the foods I love, I'm now trying to incorporate meals that will help save me from an early death of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and/or an expanding waistline. For help, I turned to my friend Kim, who makes healthy choices on the daily and has a body that looks like this because of it...View Article

“Zoodles” Puttanesca

My friend Christie Bishop (a badass businesslady boss in the corporate world and wife of "The Adam Carrolla Show"'s Bryan "Bald Bryan" Bishop) calls cooking a "hobby," but eating at her house is like eating at a restaurant. Do you remember the salted caramel peanut butter cup brownies she made for my bachelorette party? I do. I dream of them most nights. I love pasta with a passion most people save for humans, so the idea of shredding up a zucchini and calling it "pasta" sounds like blasphemy. But, Christie does it and I like to do whatever Christie does, so I Amazon Prime'd myself a spiralizer. Here is her favorite way to get your veggies in and indulge in "healthy" pasta...View Article

Spicy Green Juice

I like to mix this baby up in the AM because I feel like I'm drinking all of the healthy things I need in one fell swoop, and am thus giving myself permission to eat cupcakes and fried chicken for the rest of the day. (Nutritionists tell me that is not how that works, but I disagree.) I love all things spicy, and when I sip this it almost feels like I'm drinking a jalapeño margarita with my breakfast (not gonna lie, I did in fact use the leftover jalapeños from my homemade spicy tequila for a few mornings, so I guess they were morning margaritas. I choose to call them "Tequila-Flavored Green Juices.") But this recipe is alcohol-free because it's Dry January and we're all trying to be "new me's" in this new year! So sip on, and know you're giving your body the nutrients it needs to fight those cupcake/fried chicken/tequila binges.View Article

(Healthy) Chicken Salad

The one upside to gaining weight is that your boobs get bigger... Every other aspect blows. I've been partying hard since arriving in Tahoe for our wedding a few months ago, and the jig is finally up. I tried to get into a pair of pants yesterday that fit just fine pretty recently. I eventually got them on, but it was a sweaty struggle that left me in tears and left a mark on my belly when I wriggled out of them at the end of the day. (I still had a cupcake - wearing said pants - later in the day because I have zero self control.) I LOVE to eat. I live to eat. Whoever said nothing tastes as good as skinny feels (Kate Moss, maybe? Probably.) never ate pasta at Jon & Vinny's, or pizza at Sotto, or beef and pickle tacos at Escuela Taqueria, or a cheeseburger at The Nice Guy, or a fried chicken sandwich at The Darkroom, or cake at SusieCakes... You see how I got myself into this little (literal) jam. So, in anticipation of the holidays, I'm attempting to eat healthy and make the slow, miserable crawl back toward my wedding-weight. In an effort to make it slightly less miserable, I'm trying to come up with low-calorie spins on my favorite dishes. Like today: Chicken salad.View Article

HEALTHY Pumpkin Pie In A Jar (For BREAKFAST)

Guys, this basic bitch loves her some pumpkin. And food in adorable mason jars. So this one is a slam dunk home run. But, as you know, health food is not usually my M.O.... I'm more a tacos-and-cake kinda girl. But baby's been having some trouble squeezing into my pants since the binge that kicked off with the wedding and continued on our honeymoon, while Tony was working in Canada, my trip to Austin, AND the general ennui of "I'll never have to fit in a wedding gown again." So, I'm particularly thrilled to share a healthy version of this normally-sinfully-delicious dessert. I've had it for breakfast every day this week, and plan to continue to do so until 1) my pants fit again, or 2) I get sick of it...View Article
