Five things I've discovered this week

The fruit and cheese bistro box at Starbucks... It's high calorie, so I skipped the nuts, dried cranberries and about half the cheese. The apple slices, 9 grain crackers and Brie made for the ultimate "it's 6pm and I'm starving but dinner's not 'til 9" snack.

The Arise bra from Lululemon... Perfectly flattering for a gal with my proportions (or lack thereof). I'm totally going to rock this (in hot pink!) with my Astro Wonder Crops in the upcoming Sports Bra Challenge. (Speaking of which, any local gals interested in participating with me?)

The Zite app for iPhone... This thing is incredible. Based on interests via your Twitter and Google Reader accounts and your own personal selection of topics that interest you (from a long list), Zite cherry picks articles for you to read and essentially creates your very own "magazine". I sometimes have a long commute and don't always want to carry a book or magazine around as my bag is already heavy. Best of all, it's free!

The fresh and fun spring collections hitting city windows and virtual shelves... most notably those of Devon Baer, Diane von Furstenberg, and J. Crew.

The detachable pony-o zipper pull on the inside of my DTB duffle... Gotta give it to those Lulu folks again. They really DO think of everything.

  2. I would totally participate with you but I work a block from there and I wouldn't want any coworkers catching me skip work to publicly flaunt myself in Union Sq. (which actually sounds REALLY fun). Otherwise I would totally do it.

  3. Thanks for the tip about the Starbucks snack, meeting a friend there for coffee tomorrow :)

    I am totally gearing up to work up the courage to participate in the challenge in NYC, putting in my time at the gym.

    Twenty minutes on elliptical today, have to keep at it.
