Tag: Jonathan Adler
In love with the graphic Jonathan Adler iPhone I nabbed at the Eluxe sale last week.
But my little $10 purchase may end up costing me a whole lot. All I can think of now is the Parker Palm Springs — it was designed by Adler — and how I want to go to there.
The gardens are jaw-droppingly gorgeous (bonus: there was a cute bunny hopping about!); the colourful decor is happy and invigorating; and that spiked lemonade totally hit the spot on the sunny day I was there. My photos really don’t do it justice. I loved it all so much I vowed to return to stay there (there are few hotels that make me feel that way), and today I realize it’s been more than three years since I was there.
And with the c-c-cold temps we’re enjoying in Toronto, the Parker is sounding pretty perfect to me right now.
Where would you rather be today, or where are you (lucky you!) actually traveling to soon?

In less than 48 hours I’ll be running my very first marathon (the Toronto Marathon on Sunday, May 6, 7:30AM sharp!), so what time is it? Bring-on-the-carbs time! (I actually started a few days ago — all in race prep, of course 
(Jonathan Adler carbs canisters — I wanted these when I spotted them in San Fran in the fall when I ran the Nike Women’s Half-marathon, but thought they’d be too hard to lug home on the plane).

That nibble you have between breakfast and lunch may be causing you to shed weight more slowly than if you were not having that snack. Research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that women who have this snack lost 7 percent of the body weight, compared to the 11 percent that women who did not have the snack.
The researchers believe this may be due to the short time period between breakfast and lunch, perhaps making the snack more something you have out of habit rather than hunger.
Another tidbit from the study? Women who report snacking twice a day consume more fibre than those who don’t snack twice or more daily.
(To store your post-workout carbs (and your candy stash, we all deserve a gummy bear now and then!), check out these canisters above from Jonathan Adler; spotted them at his shop in San Fran).
