Time to get back to my pizza roots with a healthy, homemade, veggie pizza. Things I learned: 1. I used a lot of evoo to sautée the onions and mushrooms. I made a later pizza with steamed broccoli and baked chicken, which eliminated all of the oil! 2. My first attempt I used the whole wheat Boboli crust on a cookie sheet. It wasn’t as crispy as I like, so the second time I used the regular thin crust directly on the oven rack and it turned out perfect! 3. One Boboli pizza crust says it serves 6. That’s a lie. It makes 3 servings. 4. Finally, your options are endless so it can be a lot of fun to experiment! Plus, it’s so much cheaper and healthier than delivery pizza that we should really all be making it ourselves all the time. Enjoy!

This Is What I Do: Yoga Class Farts - Prevention & Etiquette

I have a friend, and I won’t name names, but she won’t go to Yoga because she once farted in a class. Now, this may not be something fun to talk about, but it happens to everyone! And it is really funny when it happens. I once had someone fart when I was teaching a Pilates class and it was hilarious. But no one cares and no one judges because everyone is so focused on themselves in class. So don’t hold back! The benefits of Yoga and Pilates far outweigh a momentary audible gas pass. (And besides, you can always blame it on the person next to you with a subtle sideways glance - just try not to look guilty).

From:

The average person farts 14 times a day. The average yogi? Maybe a little more than that.

We’re all been there, and if it wasn’t YOU (liars) it’s definitely happened to someone you know. Yoga farts are nothing to be embarrassed about: the poses literally twist your body &…

Patience and Persistence are vital qualities in the ultimate successful accomplishment of any worthwhile endeavor.

I agree, sir. After a year and a half of knowing I wanted to make a career change, I just started my new job this week! It took awhile, but it was all worth it. Thanks JP.

Bad Career Advice: Do What You Love

I am a writer, but I love sex more than I love writing. And I am not getting paid for sex. In fact, as you might imagine, my sex life is really tanking right now. But I don’t sit up at night thinking, should I do writing or sex? Because career decisions are not decisions about “what do I love most?” Career decisions are about what kind of life do I want to set up for myself? -Penelope Trunk

I can’t tell you how many of my friends are going through quarter-life crises right now. We just don’t know what to do with ourselves and are anxious about finding our purpose in life. 

The professional side of life is an equal part of the trifecta that makes the perfect life balance: work, relationships, self. This article by Penelope Trunk was a refreshing take on career advice, plus the quote above cracked me up. Hope this helps you find your way and balance yourself out! Or at least stress out about it a little less.

Yes you! :D

Yes you! :D

Enjoy Pizza Guilt-Free: Our favorite new ways to get a more healthful slice of the pie By Rachel Meltzer Warren , Rachel Meltzer Warren is a Prevention magazine research editor. We love it just as much as the next person, but two regular slices of pizza have about 550 calories and 20 g of fat (and that’s before you add toppings or make it deep dish). Here, some of our favorite new ways to get a more healthful slice of the pie: Read these great tips at Prevention! I love when an article gives you the range of the practical - found in the frozen food aisle - and the ambitious - buy your own frozen dough and twirl it into a masterpiece!

What's the Single Best Exercise?

 I thought it would be swimming due to the low impact of the sport, but that’s not taking the full picture into account: it’s lonely, hard to get access to a pool, and only available seasonably (quiet you indoor pool snobs). What’s your guess? (Hint: It’s not sex or Wii Tennis, sorry.)

I got this from jennymo and I love it. The gorgeous set up, the ham and egg sandwiches (I’ve been seriously craving meat lately), the destruction in slow mo, and of course the divine soundtrack. I have no idea what it’s supposed to mean, but don’t watch unless you have a fancy brunch on the horizon or you’ll be left craving!
