Hump Days: It’s not pseudoscience if it’s Japanese.
“When you take a break from your busy day of looking up Japanese blood types, you should do some research on Barnum statements.” A lesbian informs me via GChat on Tuesday. “I can’t help it if you are an independent thinker and like to research claims on your own.” I retort, already familiar with the...
Miss BeFit: Meditation
In the midst of a particularly stressful week, I was on the phone with Cole “The Machine” Anderson when he launched into some long-winded story about urban planning, or Urban Outfitters, something like that (sorry, bro) and I interrupted him, “COLE, I don’t have time for this, I’m gonna have a panic attack, and I...
Lose Those “Holiday Hips”: Part IV, Finale
SNACK SPICY AND SMART With the Super Bowl coming up, you can expect party menus to be overflowing with lots of chips and dips that will go straight to your hips if you aren’t careful.

The Patrician Palette: Lose those “Holiday Hips” Part III
IT’S OKAY TO BE RAW. Another way to save calories is to eat raw! Raw meats can be eaten in the form of a tartare, ceviche, or sashimi and sushi. Tartare is usually associated with chopped raw steak mixed with spices and herbs, and ceviche is thinly sliced fish or red meats marinated...

We enjoy these treats and luxuries because they usually include family gatherings and good times. But when the partying is over and the jeans don’t seem to want to button quite so easily, what can we do? My...

Health Bent: Simple, Non-Sinful, Summer Sips
On the heels of last night’s sinful and successful Gentlemen Issue Release Party at the Diamond Cabaret, today we’re covering a few ways to imbibe without regret…because, let’s face it, we 303 readers love a good cocktail. Going into a weekend I know I’ll be kicking back and throwing back a few, so why not...
Health Bent: Embracing the Heat
I hate the heat. I am a cold weather junkie and love all things winter. So, as the heat wave continues to hit Denver pretty hard (in my own personal opinion), I must admit my motivation to get out there and pound the boiling pavement for a good run has waned. I’ve never enjoyed the...
Health Bent: Kombucha–Come Back!
Fridays are all about fashion and, now, fitness too here at 303. So let me begin with something, or lack thereof, Â that has me a bit perturbed to say the least. For the better part of 2010 I’ve spent my days anxiously awaiting the opening of a cold, refreshing bottle of GT’s Synergy brand Kombucha....
