Oh you fit & fancy, huh.
Dear Mizz Fit,
Your manifesto inspired me today. Truly, it embodies my approach to fitness & life. Thank you for your existence. Rad people make the world a better place. Pass it on..
MizzFit Manifesto:
“Women who work out, feel sexy and radiate confidence. Who embrace their inner jock and fashionista as one. Who are proud to sweat and accessorize (a lot). Who are determined,...

What is Blik? Blik is sick.
Look around your living space. Are your walls such a snore, it literally puts you in a narcoleptic state? Blik has just the solution to your woes: removable wall art. Let me rephrase that. RAD-movable art.
When I say art, I’m not talking about royalty-free generic graphics. Yaaawn. No way, no how. At Blik, you’ll see street art and up & coming talent from the likes of Upper...

i'd like to order an adrenaline rush. make that a...
I love a good challenge. Such as defying death to obtain an adrenaline rush, for example. How else can you truly say you’ve lived without experiencing something scary, risky, dangerous, difficult and/or clinically insane at least once in your lifetime?
You can’t! Exactly.
What’s that you say? You don’t know what to do?
You’re killing me smalls…seriously.

Bonkers for bikinis.
Hi, my name is Joy and I’m addicted to insanely hot swimwear. It has been 72 hours since my last bikini purchase. I’d like to take this opportunity to pass my addiction on to you by sharing a few great lines that I have happily handed my hard earned cash over to in exchange for some killer, not-so-common suits.
Summer’s almost over..make sure to keep it H O T.

Miss Wax dat ass..essories.
I mean, “accessories.” I love me some accessories. You will rarely ever see me without a great statement piece on; something unique, eye-catching, witty, artsy & far, far away from boring. Me + boring = mi no gusta.
My most recent discovery is Miss Wax founded by Kylee Fauss, a local So Cal talent. Her collection is funky fresh & full of inspiration drawn from hip hop, culture...

V is for vodka.
So many premium vodka brands. Belvedere. Ciroc. Goose. How’s a girl to choose?
Sure, there’s a top 50 list, but I’m not one to go along with status quo. The true test is in the taste buds. My taste buds to be exact. I’m no vodka connoisseur. But I have come to discover an under the radar brands that can kick every vodka on that lists ass up and down the street, triple...

Things that give me wood:
Hard, tough, imperfectly perfect, beautiful. The worlds best things come from nature. Wood is no exception. Here are a few ridonkulously cool ways the raw material has been retooled..
Say good morning, good afternoon and good night to the sleek Woodstation Weather Display Clock, and he will tell you the time, date, weather forecast, indoor temp & humidity levels via its fancy LED...

Hug my buns
Summer’s coming, I’ve been working out 6 days a week, and my booty can’t wait to come out and play!
I saw this picture on my Brazilian Butt Lift DVD’s and was reminded that there is no other country in the world who creates sexier bikinis than Brazil, the capital of supermodels. I liked the way these hugged her butt instead of the usual “uni-butt” effect...

Off the chain!
Who’d guess that an Iowa based designer is the brainchild behind these pieces, with the kind of edge you’d assume could only be originated in the fashionable streets of Los Angeles & New York? Jami Rodriguez Jewelry is proof positive that it’s not where you are, it’s who you are. In Ms. Rodriguez case, a talented, kick ass jewelry making extraordinaire is who she...

Do like Morpheus and set your phone free..
If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s wires. They’re like bad hair: unruly, aesthetically displeasing & difficult to tame. The Powermat looks like a sleek skateboard that lets you say sayonara to cord clutter and charges your “I’ll-sooner-cut-my-arm-off-than-live-without-it” hand held devices by simply placing them on its surface.
It all starts...

U want the truth? U can't handle the truth!
It’s crude, bluntly honest, current & effin’ hilarous. I discovered the funniest postcards at Barnes & Noble today by Sommecards. I laughed so hard, I cried. I then spent hours on their website and the laughing-so-hard-I-cried continued. These well-written bitch slaps are available to send via email, Twitter & Facebook. And what else, but an iPhone app to round out this...

Kor is the iPhone of water bottles.
It’s sleek. It’s cool. It’s sexy. It’s sustainable. It’s smart. It’s healthy. It’s recyclable. It gives back. It’s the Kor One Hydration Vessel:
Not only can you be the envy of all the kids at the gym, you’re making a deposit in your good karma bank account via Kors thirst for giving. Depending on the color bottle you get, a portion of the...

Boy meets girl. Girl wears boy on her chest.
Walking out of Crunch Sunset, I noticed these adorable pieces by New York based Boy Meets Girl for sale. Designs are an updated interpretation of those great black silhouette profile portraits. Super cuteness.
I bet if they made a design that said “Girl makes boy her bitch,” it would sell out faster than Will.i.am did in his crackberry laden video.

Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn..
My latest crush: British fashion brand Motel . They are the 5-star all suite hotel of high fashion at motel prices. I am infatuated with the unique details each piece offers. You’ll be amazed at how affordable they are. Their sales will make you want to deposit your entire bank account into their hands. Trust.
They have a stable of statement making dress styles that are updated with new...

"Some like it hot as hell"..
When it comes to jewelry, I prefer singe-your-eyebrows off-red-hot-chili-peppers scorching hot. La-la land based Steven Shein serves it up on a fire-proof platter. I gravitate towards un-boring baubles. When it comes to S.S., his pieces are anything but. I just placed my order today for the rad stacked ring and shut the fuck up necklace. I am about to pee my panties in eager anticipation of...

Eyes wide shut. I wish.
Insomnia loves me. The feeling isn’t mutual.
At least I can love my pillows. Snooze City designs the coolest white pillow cases you’ll (literally) lay your eyes on. Prices in the $23-$30 range for a pair.
Knock out on this “Good Nite” finger tat. Buenos noches vato loco.

Your epidermis is showing..
Skin. You’re covered it it. Literally. It’s the largest organ of the body, and everyone…I mean E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E sees it. Just say no to dry ashy knees. You know you’ve been neglecting your skin if you can write the word “flaky mess” on it with your thumbnail.
I’m a body butter/lotion fanatic. I go through tubs of the stuff, hell I’d swim in it if...

A greeting card with a hard attitude. Fuckin'...
Walk into any Hallmark store, and you’ll find a thousand corny, cheesy, sappy or lame cards. Sweetie pie sugar coated bullshit.
You can’t even begin to fathom my delight when I discovered Hard Cards, purveyor of cards that have the balls to tell it like it is. They’re hilarous. They’re mean. They have ‘em for all occasions. And they’re locally made & good...

Drunk text/tweet: in. Drunk video iChat: up next.
You’re partying your face off. Face falling. It fell. There it is..right there on the floor next to your shoe. Pick it up before you get cooties.
You’re feelin’ good, the DJ is off the hook, you’ve got your beer goggles on. Not a care in the world. Then it hits you: The sudden and intense desire to share your current state of euphoria (a.k.a. shitface drunk out of your...

I'm wearing a sawed-off shotgun in public legally....
I just got my sawed off shotgun hoodie and tee by Cardboard Robot. I’m in love. I’m totally going to marry it. You can call me “Mrs. Sawed Off”.
Gawd, will you look at this? SO rad.
When I opened up the box, all I could think about were the bad ass lyrics from “Da Rockwilder”:
“Sawed off shotgun Hand on the pump, sippin’ on a forty Yo...

What kind of gum do you chew? Let me guess..Orbit? Eclipse? Trident? BORING!
I am so freakin’ nuts for these gum packs by Blue Q. There’s a pack for all the times you need gum the most: hooking up, post-alcohol binge, cotton mouth. You name it, they’ve got it. No joke.
These little gems will have you begging for someone to ask the question: “Anyone have a piece of...
