Fashion Finds from Amazon Under $20

Image
Hi, guys! So, I did a little shopping on Amazon the other day. I don’t know if you have stumbled onto the world of Amazon Fashion , but everything is soooo affordable and so cute. I recently bought a bunch of different items, so I thought I’d do a little show-and-tell for you guys. It seems like you’re really into these affordable fashion finds since I’ve gotten so many comments and questions about them lately. One question that I’ve received a number of times is about the quality of the clothing. I’d compare the quality of the tank tops to something you’d buy at Target. The long-sleeve tops were a bit more high-quality. As far as sizing goes, I ordered everything in XS. If you’re in between sizes I’d order down. It seems like the sizing runs a bit big, except for the Minthunter Long Sleeve Color Block Top, which I wish I ordered in a small.       Chuanqi Button V-Neck Tank ($17) – I love this top with the buttons and fine-ribbed detail. It’s a great basic that’s stylish an

Dear Mark: Is Fish Enough, Do Carnivores Really Need It, and More

Image
For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering several questions you guys asked in response to the fish post from last week. First, is being a pescatarian enough? Can you get what you need from seafood without eating meat, dairy, or eggs? Next, how important is fish for a carnivore? Third, how’s that Whole Foods farmed salmon? Healthy or not? Then I write a bit about canned cod liver, the underrated seafood, followed by a short blurb about whether we should worry about wild salmon sustainability as well as a question about taking chlorella to reduce heavy metal absorption from fish. Let’s go: Adore this Mark! Thank you! As a basically pescatarian this has been a wonderful insight. I find it too difficult or just a bit heavy digesting meat often, but I live for seafood! Quick follow up question- anything I could be missing not eating meat, dairy or eggs and just seafood? If so how best can I combat those issues? I’m struggling to come up with any major deficiencies you’ll incu

Easy Pork Tacos

We have made this recipe several times and I just had to share the how-to! These easy pork tacos are one of those flex recipes that you don’t need to measure precisely. I’m also not going to tell you how to spend 10 hours smoking pork on a Big Green Egg. If you are not a grillmaster yourself or have a partner who is, I’d recommend using simple grilled chicken or buying some already smoked pork. Or perhaps you could prepare some shredded pork or chicken in the crockpot! BBQ tofu or seasoned beans would be a good way to make this vegetarian too. And OMG – blacked fish! Bottom line: your protein options are endless. The Secret’s In The Slaw But the real secret to why this recipe is so good is the slaw. We jazz up a bag of 365 store-bought slaw from Whole Foods with red pepper, fire-roasted corn (frozen at Whole Foods), freshly chopped cilantro and a simple dressing made with lime, olive oil and a hint of mayo. I don’t love a ton of 100% purple cabbage on my tacos, so I love that this
