Even though it's Winter, if you're getting out and active in the snow you still need to drink water. Since you are already loaded down with gear like poles, a regular water bottle is way too bulky, and plus it might freeze. That is why this StoAway ($35) by Camelbak is great. The super durable plastic bag inside that holds 70 ounces of water, and the external circular purple cap makes it easy Read more
A few months ago, I encountered a product called The Beer Belly ($34.95). It's a liquid container that you strap on around your waist, allowing you to smuggle beverages into places. Think of it as a CamelBak for your front side. The concept is moderately funny, and it does resemble a beer belly when attached. Recently, the company behind BeerBelly put a new product on the market called The Read more
Running outside is wonderful, but the one drawback is water. I have yet to find a water fountain when I am out trail running. Now, you could wear the Terminator FuelBelt like Fergie Ferg, or you could opt to use the FlashFlo ($40) by CamelBak.

Using the Camelbak keeps your water much more accessible so you are apt to Read more

You can repeatedly head to the water cooler or faucet to fill 'er up, but when your bottle continually stays wet, you know what that means? Yep, bacteria loves a moist, dark environment. Along with your dinner dishes, it's good to get in the habit of cleaning your bottle every night, or at least every few days. Here are Read more

Fitness may be a priority for you, but your husband, boyfriend, or partner might be another story. If you wish your better half would include more exercise in their day whether it's to relieve stress, drop a few pounds, or as a way to spend more time together, I'm sure you've discovered that nagging, bribing, or insulting them are surefire ways to get them to shun sweating it out. Plus, it won't Read more
I've already walked you through how to host your own Social Network-themed Oscar shindig, but let's switch gears with another Academy Award best picture nominee: 127 Hours. Even though the film may not seem like party material at first glance (that arm-cutting scene doesn't exactly go well with hors d'oeuvres), it's still a great source of inspiration. I've come up with a few suggestions to Read more
