Men in (Compression) Tights

Men in (Compression) Tights

I’m a guy, 6’2, 200 pounds, early 40s. Married with kids, living in suburbia. Can I pick your brain for a minute?

If I go to the grocery store (or anywhere public) at midnight, can I wear a fleece hoodie pullover, white low-cut ankle socks, running shoes and long black Nike, Under Armour or 2XU compression pants…and NOTHING ELSE (including underwear)?

Do you think I should toss on a pair of…

Holiday Taste Test: 6 California Eggnogs

Holiday Taste Test: 6 California Eggnogs

Let’s face it: eggnog you buy at a store will never be as good as homemade, whether it’s ladled from a punch bowl at your Aunt Mildred’s annual Ugly Sweater party, or bottled for months only to emerge, butterfly like, with a stronger, better flavor.

With that acknowledged, there are plenty of reasons to not make your own. Time, or lack thereof. No suitably festivepunch bowl. Not wanting to buy…

How Zinc Deficiency Affects The Whole Body

How Zinc Deficiency Affects The Whole Body

I find it ironic that I had a zinc deficiency for years without realizing it… especially because I’d written a senior biology paper on the functions of zinc in human biology.

Peak Week

It’s peak week! 

I can’t believe 16 weeks has come and gone and I step on stage in a few short days. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I’d ever make it here. I had serious doubts at the beginning of my prep. I couldn’t see the big picture. I didn’t think I’d ever be where I am today. For 16 weeks I have chipped away at my body fat, bringing it down slowly and safely. This morning I weighed in at 127.9 and my…

My First Bikini Competition; Part 1

My First Bikini Competition; Part 1

This past weekend I competed in my first bikini competition.  There are so many things I want to touch on, so this will have to be broken up into parts.  Sorrynotsorry. ;P  Friday morning I got up and took the boys for donuts like I do every Friday morning. They smelled EXTRA good that day. I, of course, had none and sipped on my black coffee.  As I sit here drinking my Americano with half and…

Christmas Cookies: Gluten-Free Chocolate-Dipped Almond Crescents

Christmas Cookies: Gluten-Free Chocolate-Dipped Almond Crescents

I don’t know about you but anytime I see these classic almond crescents I get very happy. Toasty and chewy, these nutty cookies are perfect for dipping in melted chocolate, and they also just happen to be gluten-free (for anyone looking for gluten-free options out there.)

I use almond paste (not marzipan) in these, which you can find in 7 oz tubes in most well-stocked supermarkets. Almond paste…

9 Budget-Friendly At-Home Date Ideas

9 Budget-Friendly At-Home Date Ideas

A couple of months ago, I was reminiscing about when my husband and I were dating then newly married but didn’t have kids yet… we also didn’t have much money but it didn’t matter because our favorite thing to do was just spend time together. In keeping with our focus of giving experiences instead of gifts in our family, we’ve been working on ways to rekindle that early dating spontaneity and…

My First Bikini Competition; Part 2

My First Bikini Competition; Part 2

After I was all ready I headed down to the convention center. Prejudging started at 9am with bodybuilding. Bikini typically goes last, so I knew I wouldn’t be getting on stage until at least 11am. You are still water depleting at this point, so your mouth is very dry. But your nerves are all over the place so drinking water is the last thing on your mind. I watched a lot of the show and posing…
