Stretching is Good for You

And the fishy will appreciate your limberness ( I think I just made a word up)

Benefits of Riding a Bicycle

I already knew these things... thought I'd share.

Best Place For a Girl to Watch the Lakers Game

OPI -- CHECK
Cupcakes (from Big Sugar Bake Shop) -- Check
My own Flatscreen - CHECK
LAKERS game televised -- Checkity Check Check

Only prob is it's in Studio City and we all know I kinda can't go to Studio City. Oh well, go for me.

Oh and PS I think Rob's dad owns OPI so yea, he's got ALL the colors (I see you Melissa)

Lamar Odom - The Candy Man

This is bugging me, I want to keep liking Lamar Odom... I really don't like gross people.

And what I mean by gross is doing things like eating a Subway sandwich while walking down the street, drinking excessive amounts of Diet Coke AND eating excessive amounts of candy. So nasty. Now I know why Lamar Odom sweats so excessively. I know I've excessively used the word excessive in this post, but there is simply no other word to use.

I Embrace My Inner Tomboy

With open arms... I love Lululemon, pulled this from their blog, the girls are longboarding in beautiful Vancouver, wearing the Lululemon Shape Jacket, I love it too. It's incredibly breathable and kinda sexy. I like to think I'm a nice balance of girly/tomboy/bohemian.

This looks like sooo much fun, I need to go camping.

The Machine vs. The Birdman

I know... I've been MIA, and no I wasn't doing hoe stuff, dude it was totally on my mind though.

More specifically, I'm wishing, hoping, praying, confirming and meditating on a Sasha Vujacic (Lakers) and Chris Anderson (Nuggets) match up. Why? Because, they're both undercover hot, kinda dorky underdog benchmob, closers...

Lakers till I die; but, why not watch my two favorite boys get all sweaty, at the same time? Good times, good times. I'm also confirming that I'll make it to a game and get to see this all close up.

Ricky Hatton's Girlfriend, Jennifer Dooley

I couldn't date a boxer... Can you imagine, watching your significant other gettin their a** whooped? Look at this poor chick... Actually rewind, I take that back, I don't feel poorly for her, she knew what she was signing up for.


All kinds of weepy with an updo and make up on.

Lakers Squeezed by the Jazz

Poor Kyle Korver and the Jazz (sad face) I really do hate to see such a cute cranky boy. Too bad, maybe next time.

Leave it to me, to point out all the cute boys in sports. Kyle Korver is from Lakewood, CA and is a Pastor's kid (PK) he's probably really sweet, glad he's UT, best place for him. According to wikipedia he likes to play golf, so if you're in UT wear my Polyvore Golf Outfit, and go look for him. He gets really annoyed, people consistently confuse him for Ashton Kutcher.

Love this photo and quote from All Balls Don't Bounce.

"Dude where's my team?"

Lakers Afterparty

No sulking Lakers tonight :)

They're up by 22 points in the 3rd quarter. Sasha Vujacic, just blocked a shot (a first). So it looks like revelry tonight, and hell tomorrow morning in yoga.

Chris Webber Challenges Charles Barkley

I know I'm strange. On one hand I can tell you why I love Crumbs cupcakes over sprinkles, how to make Kale taste really yummy, and why I think Kiki de Montparnasse makes the best lingerie... In the next breath I have no qualms talking about various NBA teams offense/defense skills, and why the Lakers are the best NBA team of all time (YEA I SAID IT). I'm complicated.

Anyways, few things bring me more joy than watching Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Chris Webber on TNT. They know what they're talking about and they make me laugh, just the kind of people I like to surrond myself with.

Please watch this video... It's of Chris Weber challenging Charles Barkley to eat a slice of bread in 0.25 seconds.

Bulls/Celtics Game

The last 3 minutes, even the last 20 seconds of this game was REEEDONKULUS. I didn't sit down. I was standing in front of my TV face inches from the screen, scared that if I even blinked I would miss something!

The last minute three pointer was unbelievable! This game surpassed the Nuggets/Hornets game last night and call me jaded... But I was a lil bored with the Jazz and Lakers, I knew we'd win.

This Celtics/Bulls thing has been goin on for years... Here's a classic video of Larry Bird makin it rain right in Michael Jordan's face. I totally remember this (I'm an only child, my Dad really wanted a boy).

Working Out!!!

I'm back into full gym/work out mode. It feels good. Just call me M2.The Machine 2... Sasha V.
k never mind.

There's a lot of work surrounding being fit and that's why I sometimes fall off the wagon. However of this moment, I've very happily assembled all my ducks in a row, the formula is working.

Feeding M2
Every Sunday at my local Farmers' Market and Trader Joe's I pick up what's in season: blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, bananas, pineapple and Mangoes, wash chop and freeze it all. I use Life's Basics Plant Protein powder it's made with pea, hemp and rice protein with chia. Tastes great low in carbs and sugar. It's full of amino acids and omegas...


Clothing M2
I finally made it to the new Lululemon in Brentwood this past week, and I need to go back ASAP, cuz I haven't taken the stuff off since I bought it. Travels well! and is definitely suitable street wear. I picked up:

The TaTa Tamer, is tamin the girls which is no easy feat. And I couldn't be happier. It's got thick straps and no underwire. The pads are removable, and comes in regular bra sizes. NOT S, M etc I really hate that about other sports bras...



Also picked up the Hip Groove Pant, and I like that the flare leg is wider than your typical yoga pant, the waist is nice and low. Basically... they're uber-sexy/comfy/stylish, and functional. Not sexy like vulgar, but unassumingly sexy.


The reversible (two looks) Groove Down Crop in Luon, wicks moisture which is important for me during the spring/summer, I do a lot of outdoor activities and my cotton Hard Tail pants weren't cuttin it.


The Squad Crop, it's made of French Terry with a touch of lycra... It's for my more relaxed days. Sometimes I go to the gym and Just do weights or take a ballet class.

And last but definitely my favorite! The Pulse Wrap. I love things that tie at the waist... I feel pretty close to perfect in the Pulse Wrap and the Hip Groove Pant.

Check out Lululemon Addict for ALL the info.

M2's Routine

Every other day I do an hour of belly blasting, heavy interval cardio or yoga or pilates and an hour of Tracy Anderson style weights.

On my off days I do on the ball exercises at home, 4 sets 15 reps each...

Superman Booty Lifts

Abdominal Twists



Calf Raises

Bridge Single Leg Lifts

No Crunch Abs

Lose Belly Fat Without Crunches

The title is music to my ears, and so is the sound of food frying...

Anyways, research shows that alternating between a moderate pace and a speedy pace during cardio is very helpful in combating belly fat! Great News.

My favorite way to do interval training is by coordinating my workout to my music playlist. I've created one for you below.

The Black Keys -- All You Ever Wanted
N.E.R.D. -- Lapdance
The Kooks -- Sway
Led Zeppelin -- Communication Breakdown
Mariah Carey -- Shake it Off
Nas -- Made You Look
No Doubt -- Underneath it All
Aretha Franklin -- Rock Steady
Kings of Leon -- True Love way

Take a Good Look at Jordan Farmar...

Do it now ladies... Take a good look; because, he hasn't been getting much playing time or doing too much with the little time he was given. So I'm willing to bet he won't see any time during the playoffs...

I feel obligated because; he's an LA native too and our last names are very similar, just pin those ears of his back and he's totally kinda cute.

Greg Oden...

I know the Lakers lost last night. And like I've said before, Lakers till I die whatever the case may be. So I'm not even gonna speak on the loss.

But I do have something to say about Greg Oden's head. What the hell is wrong with it? He has fat man rolls in his head; but, he's not fat just a big guy. Like he has those rolls that Shaq has in the back of his head vertically. Really freaks me out. See below pics *shiver*.

Tracy Anderson Workout

The all the rage trainer of the moment. TRACY ANDERSON, here's an article from Grazia, it works! But six days a week is not very convenient. 1/2 and hour of cardio, try to do something different each day (muscle confusion a la P90) and 1/2 an hour of weights, high reps 30+, 4 sets and low weight under 30 lbs.

Phil Jackson

Phil "Lukewarm Coffee" Jackson will miss the Lakers vs. Trailblazers game tonight due to plantar fasciitis.

Tonight will definitely be a tough game, "I'm really curious about that game," he said. That's it. Nothing else :/

Andrew Bynum Might Play Tonight.

So Andrew Bynum may be back tonight.... So long as he's well for the playoffs (do I smell the Mavericks?).

Phil Jackson sounded lukewarm about it all (as usual), does he get excited about anything? I bet he likes lukewarm coffee blech, he said "We’ll probably assess how he feels tomorrow after today’s practice, and then make a judgment on that,” said Jackson. “He’s doing pretty good - we’re pleased with his progress. I don’t know how much more he can get out of the activity level that he’s doing right now. He’s got to get playing here pretty soon.”

Regardless I'm hoping to see some more BENCH MOB action. I love it when the game is in the refrigerator, the door is shut and the Bench Mob makes a fool of the opposing team.

Sasha Vujacic Dunk

Sasha THE MACHINE Vujacic did something he doesn't do that often last night... He came down the middle DUNKED on two guys. That guy moves with lightning speed. My little BENCH MOB was in full effect last night. LAKERS FAN TILL I DIE.
