Alix- can you share your "healthified" strawberry shortcake recipe from Instagram stories on Father's Day? Here is the recipe and it was SO good (and easy) to make. I used this dairy free whip and topped with fresh strawberries. I will be making all summer long. I want to learn more about how to sync your workouts with your cycle.. I think I saw something on your stories about this. Can you … [Read more...]

Who are your favorite Peloton instructors for both cycling and then the strength training/running classes? Heather: I don't have the Peloton (yet! It comes in July!) but I have used one before at my gym and love Cody's classes so much! He is such a ray of light, positivity and HUMOR.. literally laugh the whole time. But I know Alix has tried so many other teachers and I can't wait to try her … [Read more...]

Alix- what are your thoughts on activated charcoal? Do you use it? Does it really help with bloating? I'm thinking about adding it to my routine. I cringe when I see people drinking charcoal...eeeekk! Put it ALL over your body if you want, but please don’t put it INSIDE your body. It’s touted as a way to “detox” but charcoal cannot identify good vs. bad internally and will strip good … [Read more...]

Can you link the firewater and lavender bitters you guys are using in drinks? The firewater has been such a fun addition to our margarita recipe to make it spicy! I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about adding grapefruit or lavender bitters to plain sparkling water to make a flavored soda and I was intrigued. I got the lavender bitters and it was a very subtle flavor, but … [Read more...]

Alix- what was the feedback you got on the whipped coffee? I want to try, but seems like a lot of work. Also can you link the recipe you used. This is the recipe I used that a friend sent me and swears by. My first experience did not go well and here's the feedback I got from Instagram friends:-The Via from Starbucks doesn't work-Decaf and larger instant coffee grounds work better-Hand mixer … [Read more...]

What's the difference between almond milk on the shelf and those in the fridge? I usually just get refrigerated ones. The difference is packaging. Shelf-stable cartons use Tetra Pak packaging technology that keep out light and air, locking in nutrients. There is not usually a difference in the ingredients or nutritional value. It's important to read the ingredients which ever you prefer and … [Read more...]

My question is for my husband so I understand this may not be in your wheel house. My husband has been using the same apricot face scrub (you know the one) since he was a blemish-ridden teenager. But I’ve read that these types of aggressive scrubs can do more harm than good since there are actual chunks of walnut shells in them! Is there a men’s facial scrub or cleanser that your husbands swear … [Read more...]

My blow dryer just died and I'm wondering if you have any recommendations on a good, but affordable hair dryer? Alix has used the T3 for years (currently on sale) and loves it.. she has a lot more hair than me (Heather) so using a higher end blow dryer has been beneficial for her and gets her hair dry faster. I, on the other hand, just use the Revlon one from Target because my hair dries fast … [Read more...]

Heather- you posted about red light therapy in your last post with those red light bulbs for your bedroom. What are the benefits and how do you incorporate it into your daily life? I became interested in red light therapy after listening to a Skinny Confidential Podcast with Ben Greenfield who is an expert in health and wellness. I won't go into detail on that but that's where I first heard of … [Read more...]
