Feed Me, I'm Cranky » sigg. health food http://www.feedmeimcranky.com My journey from obese to healthy, served up with a side of snark Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:22:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Stuff Health-Conscious People Like http://www.feedmeimcranky.com/2009/06/29/stuff-health-conscious-people-like/ http://www.feedmeimcranky.com/2009/06/29/stuff-health-conscious-people-like/#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:05:52 +0000 Annabel http://www.feedmeimcranky.com/?p=1399 Hi, it’s me again!

This blog idea came to me one night as I was thinking a) I’m sad the economy sucks and I have no money; b) I really need a new yoga mat and a Sigg, but, as noted in ‘a),’ I have no money; and c) I’ll wait until my b-day in November to subtly blatantly ask for these things.

Then I remembered I had started keeping a list of things I wanted to buy and things I wanted to try and thought – hey, why not post and update a list of all the cool stuff out there for us health-conscious folks so that we can get ideas of things to try, refer people to the list as a sort of gift guide, or simply browse through other health-conscious people’s favorite things?  I’m muy excited about this, guys!

So, a la “Stuff White People Like” style, I’m beginning my own Stuff Health-Conscious People Like list (except without the stereotyping :/)…

To narrow it down, because this could be never-ending, I’m limiting the list mostly to things I’ve tried and liked myself, thinks I know someone who has tried and liked, or things I’ve seen other bloggers try and like.  There are, however, a few things that I simply thought were cool-looking and, since I live on a student’s budget, want you guys to spend the money to try them and report back (haha!).

If you guys have tried any of the things I list and would be kind enough to give me a review, I’d be ever so grateful.  Also, if there are things you would recommend be added to the list, I will happily link you as the person who recommended them. The things I’ve tried and liked personally will be marked with an asterisk.

**I’m almost done with the preliminary list and will post it as an additional page on my blog some time this week.**
