Yesterday we made history. Alongside millions of other Americans, we marched for women’s rights. Not only did we witness almost 3 million people marching in our own country, but we saw sister marches organized in numerous countries around the world. What a powerful message we sent the world. Politics aside, this march was important to empower women and other marginalized groups who feel like their voices have been lost. Marching beside thousands of other Santa Feans yesterday

Mental illness is a serious health epidemic that gets very little attention. It is often stigmatized and pushed under the rug. This has to change. In order for us to confront our mental health issues, improve upon them, and ultimately, treat them effectively, we have to have an open, honest dialogue about the mental health challenges people face. We can no longer just ignore them or hide them because they are weird, different, or scary. An estimated 26% of Americans over the

Healthy eating can be difficult. From the abundance of “health products,” to the sky high prices, it can be hard to figure out where to start. If you have ever tried to be a healthy eater and failed, or would just like to improve your eating habits and your budget, then this post is for you! Wouldn’t it be nice if you could shop at a store that has only verified healthy, safe, organic, etc. products, at a reasonable price? Well look no farther, my friends! Thrive Market to th

How did you do with purchasing a sustainable household cleaning product?! Hopefully next time you restock you can buy a sustainable brand. Another simple tip to achieve a sustainable lifestyle is to ditch plastic water bottles. Use a refillable, heavy duty, non-plastic water bottle.

There are many different reasons to travel from seeing new places, experiencing new cultures, and broadening our perspectives on life. One of the great outcomes of travel is the impact the world can have on our views, our character, and our outlook on humanity. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity, between undergraduate and graduate school, to spend my summer in Nairobi, Kenya interning with a microfinance firm, Faulu Kenya. Many of my travels have been extraordinary a

This past holiday weekend, Northern New Mexico got hit with another snow storm! We took advantage of the new snow on Sunday, and headed up to Sun Mountain for a winter wonderland hike. It snowed the entire time we hiked, adding to the enchanted feeling of the winter scene and forest. Sun Mountain is a great regular hike for local Santa Feans. It is easy to get to, only around 5 miles roundtrip, and roughly 700 feet in vertical elevation gain; but in the end, you get to stand

Well, he at least has a couple dishes up his sleeve Culinary competence is a key part of the Modern Man’s arsenal. The need to have one or two signature dishes is key to survival in the modern world. We aren’t talking microwaveable, frozen dinners here people. I mean lean mean cooking cuisine. I first got into cooking while in college. I was always a bit of a health and fitness nut, so I wanted to take the time and effort to make healthy, homemade food during my college days.

How to do Machu Picchu Right Machu Picchu has been on our Bucket List for a couple years now, and we finally decided it was time to give it a go! I got a great Cyber Monday deal on www.theclymb.com that I couldn’t pass up. We booked the trip with Valencia Travel Cusco who did an outstanding job - we highly recommend them! The food was like eating in a gourmet restaurant every night! Anyway, I digress. We booked our trip for the end of September 2016, right before Lindsay’s bi
