Thirsty Thursdays: Gluten Free vs. Regular Cookies?
Happy Thirsty Thursdays! I was blown away when I tried these gluten free cookies from Glow Gluten Free. So I decided to Take It To the Streets to see what random people thought about them! And, I asked people to taste test to compare these gluten free cookies to normal cookies!
Taking It To the…Escalators
Do the escalators count as a form of exercise? Do you normally just stand there and ride up/down, or do you climb up two steps at a time and then jog down? Find out what random Chicagoans have to say about escalators and exercise!

When I used to work at Lifetime TV, I had no idea that my manager, Gary Morgenstein, was also a published writer of best selling books! He recently released a hilarious dating book,How to Find a Woman…Or Not, and has provided us with an excerpt below! This got me thinking…What is holding us back from doing the thing we want? Gary works a full time job as a publicist, and yet has also (very successfully) pursued a second career as an author. Watch my video for more, but basically, as Nike says, we all need to go after our dreams and Just Do It!
Bookstores are one of my favorites for meeting smart and attractive women in a non-threatening environment. Mysteries, history, cookbooks, classic literature, travel, a buffet of potential common interests.
DON’T DO THIS IN A BOOKSTORE
Know your crowd. Slapping your thigh and shouting, Has Bill O’Reilly nailed these rotten socialists won’t go over well with someone wearing a Nancy Pelosi “She’s My Man” button
Squatting on the floor amid a pile of reading material suggests you have absolutely nowhere better to go, like to a job
Dropping muffin crumbs on books displays a lack of respect
Don’t discard a cook book with a sneer, That is not how you prepare goose
Avoid discount racks, shows you’re cheap — if you’re skimping on a book, why would she think you’ll take her somewhere nice when you go out?
In addition to How to Find a Woman…Or Not, Gary Morgenstein’s books include the novels Loving Rabbi Thalia Kleinman, about a divorced man who falls in love with a beautiful woman rabbi; Jesse’s Girl, a powerful story about a father’s search for his adopted teenage son, and Take Me Out to the Ballgame, a political baseball thriller, as well as the baseball Rocky The Man Who Wanted to Play Center Field for the New York Yankees. His prophetic play Ponzi Man played to sell-out crowds at the New York Fringe Festival. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, surrounded by lots of books and rock and roll CDs.

Happy Motivational Monday! “No, that definitely doesn’t make you look fat.” “Don’t worry about it, you worked out today. You can afford that extra cookie!” FAT TALK. (See my video below.) We do it all the time, but starting today let’s start becoming more AWARE of the things we say aloud to other people and how we engage in “fat talk.” My friend Rachel posted a youtube video on her website, SheddingIt.com, that really sheds light on this topic. You can check out the youtube video I’m referring to here, and watch my video below for more explanation:
