My New Breville and Your First Green Juice

I finally bought my own juicer. I've been putting it off as I wanted to get the absolute best juicer that costs the most money so that everything in my world would be perfect!

Well...that just meant that I never got the juicer. For years now. And, also, that I kept $10 juices made for me on someone else's juicer. As wonderful as it is to have great juice options around town, there's something deeply nourishing about making your own. Also, it's practical: You save money in the long run; your veggies don't go bad since you can just throw them in the juicer; and, for some reason, it just tastes better. If you've been putting it off like me, just go for it! I got the Breville and am totally happy with it.

Lighten Your Load With Green Juice

I pretty much love a good green juice wherever I am. But living in the city, I feel the need to rev up my green intake even more. Think about it — we are surrounded by concrete, not trees. We're moving fast, and our bodies are stressed here. A green juice can bring some green into your life and help to balance out your nerves by bringing some alkalinity and a punch of nutrients into your body.

Emily Wishes She Were a Lady GaGa Backup Dancer

Every day, we give you a snapshot of one fellow striver in fitness. We ask personal questions, they boldly answer. Today's snapshot: Emily, aka moveyourbootyblog.

• What's your secret (fitness-related) sin? Sometimes (as my running partner can attest) I wear the same workout clothes a couple times in a row —what, they're just going to get sweaty again! Am I right?! 
•  What's your number one workout spot? The Brooklyn Bridge and I had a pretty good thing going for a while. But then I moved (it was an amicable split). These days, when I'm not sweating it out in Core Fusion over at the Soho Exhale location or getting my namaste on at Laughing Lotus, I've been really into morning runs on the Williamsburg bridge (but please don't tell the Brooklyn Bridge, I don't want to make it awkward).
