Hello Robertson: Inspiration And Adorable Headbands
One really good reason to invest time and energy into your college friendships: those people just may become your business partners later in life. Or so was the case for Hannah Robertson and Kelly Reynolds, founders of Hello Robertson.
Fit Finds: Free Week of Yoga!
I took a yoga class during my senior year of college. Somehow, the dingy and cramped gymnasium-esque room, ratty exercise mats and lingering body order stench kind of zapped the whole "zen" experience. But I still felt great when it was over and wanted more, more, more. However, with limited funds in college, the idea of joining a local studio was out of the question.

Why You Can’t Stop Eating…Literally
I have an obsession with cupcakes that is so intense, sometimes, I think that it borders on addiction. If someone offers me an adorable little sugary cake of pure bliss, there's just no way I can refuse. And, whenever I have a craving for one, I won't be able to stop thinking about it until I satisfy my inner voice screaming, "feed me cupcake!"
Just Say No to Hydroxycut!
If you are considering taking diet pills, more specifically, Hydroxycut, it's time to get rid of those thoughts once and for all. The FDA recently linked their products to severe liver damage and death (yes, death!), so the makers pulled 14 of its products from shelves.
Fit Finds: You Bet Your Fat On It
A little friendly competition never hurt anyone...And when it comes to shaping up, sometimes it helps to have the motivation of others spurring you on. For me, the most dedicated I have ever been to regular gym-going and eating right was when I either had a goal in mind (running a half-marathon last summer) or when I had others keeping me accountable.
Fit Finds: Granola, Just the Way YOU Like It
Granola is a tricky little bugger. Sure, it seems like the healthiest choice to pick at the dining hall in comparison to the other less-than-appealing options, but the truth is that granola can pack a ton of fat and calories if you’re not careful. Like, you're-better-off-eating-the-Lucky-Charms kinda calories.
