Look at my alien baby!
Well…it’s actually an extravagant rice cooker.
Yes, it WAS absolutely necessary to spend $200 on a rice cooker.
My client was raving to me about it, saying Zojirushi is super top of the line… because I was telling him my woes about cooking rice on the stovetop… and he told me about his magical rice cooker. And I had to buy one. I did. So I looked at the website and selected the ...

I was here! I had completed the 27 hour trip to arrive in Puerto Varas.
…where?
Puerto Varas. A tiny city located in southern Chile, a territory of northern Patagonia in the Los Lagos Region. It is located on the shore of the Llanquihue Lake, one of the largest natural lakes in South America. There are only ...

It is well-established that I am a protein nut. The other day I created a custom protein blend on True Nutrition, and was delighted when the package arrived. The site was super easy.
1) First, choose your types of proteins (eg grass fed whey protein, micellar casein, pea protein, etc)
2) Then choose your fats and carbs (eg MCT, fructose, maltodextrin, etc)
3) Then choose your flavors (eg plain, banana, chocolate, etc), sweeteners (eg sucralose, stevia, unsweetened, etc); ...

It’s slightly stretchy, so it wraps my head comfortably tightly…
About to go work out! Will let you know how it handles my sweat ;P
PowerBar was kind enough to send me some samples of their new “Protein Drink Mix.” LOL. Basically, protein powder. I guess this is more marketed for folks unfamiliar or intimidated by protein powder? In any case, they sent me vanilla and chocolate varieties. Each scoop contains 20 g protein, 7 g carbs, 2 g fats, and 130 calories. The chocolate one tastes really good, but the vanilla one tastes not-so-hot. Altogether, a fine product.
Here’s some info from their ...
Okay, just gotta give a quick review/shout out to a product that I dearly cherish. Talk as much crap as you want about it…but I love it! Especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor- for some reason, the texture of that flavor seems creamier than the rest. Arctic Zero is…my ice cream. My “ice cream.” It’s basically glorified whey. It’s whey and water and fiber (chicory root, xantham gum, and guar gum to make it fluffy) so I can eat it ...
Continue Reading →Ryan from Pom was kind enough to send me a sample of Pom- the pomegranate juices in those cute curvaceous bottles.
Pom is chok-ful of antioxidant power! Pom is a good post-workout drink because it has 34 g of sugar per 8 oz- those fast–digesting carbs you need after resistance training!
I made a post-workout shake with ½ a bottle of Pom, 1 scoop Isopure strawberry whey, a few frozen strawberries, a ...

SBC products are special because they have the strength/properties to combat yucky disgusting diseases like staph!
(You’re lucky I spared you from ACTUAL pics of people who have gotten staph. Go google it for ...
