Yelp! It is a platform that we’ve used for years, but have never really talked about on the blog. Why? It has always been a bit taboo, I suppose. Yelp doesn’t like their users doubling up their reviews. They see it as a conflict of interest. They have some control issues. As a result, we’ve always said no to their annual invites to be Yelp Elite. We play it safe by avoiding be too far in Yelp. Still, we love to use it for the following reason.
Oh no, here it is. Another protein bar review. Do they ever end? Truth be told, it seems like there is a never-ending supply of ready-to-eat protein snacks out there. It is hard staying on top of them all, but for us, it is important to know what exists because we’re asked for recommendations ALL THE TIME! We rarely find a product that is worthy of being coined innovative in any stretch of the imagination. When we do find innovative products, they’re not necessarily win-wins. For example, our review of Built Bar gave them credit for making a product that had a very strange texture. While we weren’t fans of it, we figured someone out there might be. Innovative? In a way. Enjoyable? Not for us. Enough of that old news though; what about Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah bar?
Attractive packaging
2020 has been a whirlwind of a year for all of us. Some were, unfortunately, hit much harder than others and we’ve all had to adapt to uncertainty. It has given many us a chance to spend less time with some, and more time with others. It has given all of us the chance to spend more time with ourselves. While that has been a curse for some, it has been a blessing for others. 2020 has provided some of us the chance to hit the reset button and finish old goals, start new projects, and lighten our load.
It isn’t fully formatted or as beautiful as we intend to make it, but the beta of our eating guide to the Westbank is out HERE.
First, if you want a much more in-depth review of Southern Charm with better pictures, please read this piece on Nola.com. If you want some old-fashioned Hungry & Fit charm, stick around.
No need to add any fluff to this one; we’re getting right to the point. Tavolino’s, one of our favorite spots in New Orleans, is open for take-out. They re-opened yesterday and we were there to greet them. Alana has been craving their goods for quite some time and I don’t think anyone can blame her. They make some of the best pizza in the city, their drink selection is one-of-a-kind, and the atmosphere is hard to match. They have a few socially distanced tables available out front, but take-out was the most popular option, according to our observations last night.
No matter how much disposable income you have, and whether you’re in the middle of a pandemic or not, you should never pay a meal delivery service for fast food.
Cannabidiol or CBD can be defined as a cannabinoid which is a compound found in hemp plants and cannabis that has a wide range of health benefits associated with it. Despite the fact that CBD is extracted from cannabis, it’s important to note that it doesn’t cause a high as it would be felt when smoking cannabis. This is because of the minimal level of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that is in the compound.
There are many forms of CBD. One very popular form is CBD cream. These creams are created by infusing high-grade cannabis plants with high-quality olive or coconut oil. The oil serves as an extractor of the active CBD compound. The compound is then mixed with the therapeutic herbs to form a cream that helps relieve pain.
To get an answer to the question of whether CBD cream is worth the money, it’s essential to first understand how it works and what exactly it does.
Once upon a time, we posted a decent amount of content to YouTube. I think it was probably within the first year of us living in Los Angeles, while we lived in our apartment in Koreatown. Years later and it is one form of social media that we really stopped using as an outlet for content, which is unfortunate because it is one of my favorites as a user, or subscriber. Well, we’re trying to change that now!
We haven’t had the best luck with Westbank food festivals, and we only know of one food truck. I don’t think we even bothered covering the Bridge City Gumbo Festival, which had a total of ONE VENDOR serving gumbo. We thought it would be an event where we could sample hundreds of different gumbos, but the focus wasn’t the gumbo, despite being hosted by the self-proclaimed Gumbo Festival of the World. As a festival, it wasn’t terrible, but it certainly wasn’t a gumbo festival, or even a food festival for that matter.
