We have trained ourselves to reach for a sweet snack between meals. Break this behavior chain and you will find yourself with a world of convenient options for that 3pm craving. You know I rarely review products, but I do enjoy the tasting process. When I discover a new commodity that captures my attention, I dive in, teeth first. In this case, the Epic Bar positions itself squarely between beef jerky and a Snickers bar, standing superior to both. Bars of all varieties are processed. If you have the option to go for a perfectly spiced steak and a… I promised to pitch (see what I did there?) some suggestions on what to pack in that soft cooler when you head to the yard. My aim is to get you through batting practice and 9 innings. You go into extras, you’re on your own. I’m assuming you’re headed to a night game, but you can always hit me up for day game tweaks in the comments section below. First things first, eat before you get to the ballpark, please. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are non-negotiable. When you arrive, you’re surrounded by familiar smells and have those nostalgic emotions… I haven’t yet had the opportunity to meet Kavita Channe in person, but I’ve experienced her powerful vibes through social media and her sharp TV persona. She’s an exceptionally hard worker and positive energy spills from her vessel. Her post is brave. Sharing personal stories with the world isn’t easy. By putting herself out there, she’s offering up her roadmap for others facing similar challenges. Bravo, Kavita, and on behalf Kaplifestyle’s readers, thank you. Find Kavita on Instagram and Twitter. I am a girl that is constantly on the go. I drink my green cocktails, eat nutrient dense foods, and work out daily –… Sometimes, the best wheels are stolen ones.  No, I’m not suggesting Grand Theft Auto as a lifestyle. Instead, I took a leaf out of my ten year old self’s playbook, stole my son’s penny board, and split. Skateboarding in place of driving can be yet another tool in your bag of healthy goodies for achieving an improved lifestyle. A 38 year old man on a skateboard is generally viewed as one of two things – totally pathetic or totally fuckin’ rad. I’m assuming you can figure out my take. It took me a few minutes to get comfortable with… We are all unique beings, but we can’t help but be shaped by those in our lives.  Lately, I’ve been having the urge to go and just get lost. The call to travel with no real destination in mind, living moment to moment in quiet solitude, is powerful. I fantasize not of the final resting spot, but of how I will make my way there. I just want to lose touch, to not carry the burden of responsibility, to fall completely off the grid and answer to no one. I don’t have to wonder where these desires come from…. Maimonides: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. I’d love the lesson, teacher, but sometimes figuring out what to do when someone simply gifts you the fish is challenge enough. This time, I aced the oceanic pop quiz. Most folks plan out their meals with recipes in advance, then head to the grocery store to get the required supplies. Some of my most rewarding meals invert this concept and force me to plan dishes based on the marvelous ingredients available. Cassidy sent… Bill Cosby: You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it. I posted a quick tweet to alert folks about the PB&J sandwiches post. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches aren’t for everyone. Wait, that was silly. Yes, they are. http://t.co/BPCJSRz42S — gabe kapler (@gabekapler) June 13, 2014 Sometimes when I tweet, I hit send and immediately think “Why on earth would you say something so .” I ain’t gonna lie to you though, this was not one of those times. I was feeling sexy…
