Miss BeFit: Kara Lawson & NCAA Final Four
After weeks of wearing nothing but our college team colors, eating only bar food and anxiously counting our points from our bracket pools, it is finally the weekend we have been waiting for. The NCAA Final Four tournaments are kicking off in their respective cities, first in New Orleans with the men’s teams and then...
Miss BeFit: Voli Light Vodka
One of the great things about America is that we are all so willing and happy to adopt the holidays of countries around the globe–especially the ones that revolve around drinking. For those of us who wished we had saved our beverage calories for corned beef and shepherd’s pie, Voli has released a series of...
Miss BeFit: Fitness Clubbin’
The fourth floor of the Denver Athletic Club on March 9 was one of movement. The peppermint and citrus-scented air, courtesy of an essential oils booth in the corner, was buzzing with energy. A Miley Cyrus track was bumping in a vast darkened room that was swirling with disco lights. My friend Stephanie and I...
Miss BeFit: Shake your BUTI
Everybody knows how it is. You’re cleaning your room or doing laundry and you put on a good playlist and then Gaga comes on and you just start shakin’ it. Ten minutes later, you collapse on the floor from utter exhaustion and you’re wiping the sweaty hair off your forehead. Bizzie Gold, founder of BUTI,...
Miss BeFit: Spring Fever
It’s contagious, Denver. Spring Fever. We’ve had days of sixty-degree weather the past couple weeks (we will call today a blip) and my family and friends on the East Coast seem to be done with their winter already. “Oh, I thought about you when I was at the beach and I’m on the phone with...
Miss BeFit: Robert Sullivan’s “Matters of the Heart”
Anybody who knows me quite well is aware that I spend a fair amount of my free time reading older issues of Vogue. As I prepare to move across town, I’ve been tearing out my favorite articles so I can chuck the rest of them (sob!). In the November 2011 issue I, again, came across...
Miss BeFit: TrekDesk
In this day and age, we love to multitask and we love multitasking tools. Our phones are also our day planners, our iPads are also our books and our lipstick is also our lip gloss. I guess it was only a matter of time before our work place doubled as our gym. From what I’ve...
Miss BeFit: Joie de Vivre
Before this morning, Pilates was, to me, just a lot of crunches with little pulses, or leg lifts with little pulses or arm circles with little pulses. I had done a couple Pilates DVDs, and, sure, I could feel the burn sometimes, but it didn’t interest me much. But when Ansley Watson, owner of Joie...
Miss BeFit: Deserted Island Power Drinks
Deep in the mid-winter slump of January, let us create a hypothetical escape. If one Miss BeFit had to make her Stranded on an Island list of Top Five Beverages, she wouldn’t even need the last two slots after 1. Coffee. 2. Beer. 3. Water. No particular order. We at the base of the Rockies...
Miss BeFit: NCAA 2012 Women’s Final Four
Logo courtesy of NCAA ESPN is coming to Denver. This April, the Pepsi Center, the home of our Nuggets, will host the 2012 NCAA Women’s Final Four. From March 30 to April 3, our little city will be swarming with four teams worth of vertically-blessed women, whittled down from approximately five thousand basketball student-athletes from...
Miss BeFit: Ladies of NFL Apparel
Mile High Stadium echoes with the cheers from our spectacular, and, admittedly, surprising win on Sunday. The last of the trash is being taken out with the remnants of the Terrible Towels torn to shreds out of grief and frustration. But before we all start breaking into spontaneous Tebowing, I’d like to take a huge...
