Have. Want. Need.
For Thanksgiving week my family escaped to Lake Tahoe for some wilderness R&R. Suffice to say, I had some much needed me, myself and I time. And, the air is so crisp up here. You know I love my old school hip hop bands and De La Soul is one of the best. This song jams for itself, but it's always cool seeing the fresh fellows of the group. The '80s classroom setting reminds me a bit of Saved Read more
We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from espnW here on FitSugar! By Shawn Johnson Shawn Johnson is blogging for espnW throughout her training for the Olympics in London this summer. Follow hers other Olympic hopefuls' journeys on espnW.com. Four years ago, I was standing on an Olympic podium, wearing a gold medal, and still thinking to myself how I could have been better. It had Read more
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! I am having a hard time making some big decisions in my life right now. My boyfriend and I are currently long distance, but we were together for over two years before that. After he moved, we stayed together for a while and then broke up for a few months because of the distance and unclear Read more
Looking for an elegant yet simple way to serve cauliflower? Look no further than Fresh Tart's gluten-free version of cauliflower gratin. Perhaps it's cliche that I read MFK Fisher's The Gastronomical Me and wanted to immerse myself in the world of food, but that's OK. Who wouldn't want to do exactly that after reading that sexy, scrumptious book? My goodness that woman could write, my mouth Read more
Sometimes I follow recipes to the letter, but most of the time I stick to preparations that allow me to absentmindedly add a pinch of this and a dash of that to achieve a perfectly seasoned plate. There are, of course, the basics like salt and pepper, but more often than not, I find myself reaching for the bottle of fish sauce. This umami-laden Southeast Asian staple made from fermented fish may Read more
This post was submitted (anonymously, as always) to our Savvy Confessions group. Got any advice? Leave it in the comments. Hi, fellow Savvy Confessors. I've got an issue I've been struggling with that I could seriously use some help on. I am in a job where I am paid to be "available." I am paid salary (based on an hourly rate at 40 hours a week) regardless of how little or how much I work. Some Read more
Do you ever think about how much you make each day and how much that really buys? This post from Beauty and the Budget really got me thinking. What can you buy with one day's worth of your salary? Right now, I make about $76 a day, before taxes, which really isn't much. That means that on Monday, when I made an after-work Rite-Aid makeup run, I practically worked an entire day for a tiny tube Read more

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. When I started losing weight, I often looked at women who were thinner than I was and thought, "Wow, her life must be so easy." I knew that once I got to my goal weight, I'd feel awesome, and healthy living would be just as easy for me as it was for all the "I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight" women around Read more
