We’re Obsessed!

Fuel Up

This month, we’re loving wine, chocolate pudding, oh, and some veggies too.

1. “One spoonful of Teavana Imperial Matcha ($35, teavana.com) has 10 times the antioxidant content of tea, but I love it because it’s a great caffeine fix anywhere coffee isn’t served. I’ve brought this with me into the Nigerian jungle!”
— Jessie Sebor, editor in chief

2. “Former pro triathlete Brendan Brazier is a vegan—but in his Thrive Energy Cookbook ($23, brendanbrazier.com), the focus is simply on ‘plant-based whole food recipes.’ I wish the yellow peanut curry rice bowl could leap off the page and into my mouth!”
— Nicki Miller, managing editor

3. “I heart the Vitamix Pro 750 ($689, vitamix.com)! It not only makes smoothies, but also sorbet in six minutes and soups in less than eight. It  definitely makes me eat healthier–I can’t live without it.”
— Erin Douglas, art director

4. “Chocolate pudding has always been my favorite dessert. This Chocvocado version delivers a rich taste that’s full of healthy fats and fiber, making my obsession healthy!”
— Allison Pattillo, gear editor

5. “Bon Affair Wine Spritzer ($14 for 750ml, bonaffair.com) is an electrolyte-packed bubbly that’s perfect for a post-run celebration with your girls—and it has half the cals of regular wine!”
— Caitlyn Pilkington, associate editor

Freshen Up

This month, we can’t get enough of feel-good shades and dry-skin tricks.

1. “This stuff rocks! Carlene K Cosmetics Shine Bronzer ($30, carlenekcosmetics.com) is perfect for my pasty white legs, and it smells great, like mocha-vanilla. Best part? You can gradually add color and it doesn’t rub off!”
— Erin Douglas, art director

2. “EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm ($3, evolutionofsmooth.com) is trendy with its unique round shape and twist-and-click top—the flavors are yummy, and the line is 100 percent organic. Plus it gives you super soft lips on those really dry run days!”
— Caitlyn Pilkington, associate editor

3. “Last February, I ran the Women’s Running Series Half Marathon in San Diego to raise money for the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation. I love that I can support this special cause year-round with the sparkly pink shade Julep Edith Nail Color ($14, julep.com).”
— Jessie Sebor, editor in chief

4. “Just about every day, I count my blessings as I slip into the hot tub at my new home. Whether it’s after a long or short run—or on a rest day- the rejuvination powers of hot waters hidden under the bougainvillea are mysterious yet powerful. It’s must-have therapy!”
— Nicki Miller, managing editor
