How to Make Your Own Kombucha…Wait, Come Back

You might erroneously think you don’t need to learn how to make your own kombucha.  You might also think the moon landing was faked.  Point is, it’s hard to know what things are important to learn.  Here’s a helpful scientific quiz we’ve developed to see if this article is for you.

Are you tired of ending the day with a nice microbrew that leaves you feeling satisfied and less irritable?  Does your wife and/or girlfriend continually harangue you for not spending more time making flavored beverages using bacteria and peaches?  Are you a person who gets thirsty from time to time?  If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above then this article is for you.

Good People Don’t Go Black Friday Shopping on Thanksgiving

Good People Don’t Smoke Marijuana- Jeff Sessions

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions famously said, “Good people don’t smoke marijuana.”  This is obviously asinine because lots of good people smoke marijuana.  What Jeff Sessions meant to say was, “Good people don’t go Black Friday shopping on Thanksgiving.”  It was an unfortunate linguistic error that has spawned more than its fair share of controversy.

My guess is that at only 5’4 tall he was unable to correct his error in pronunciation and was left with no stool to stand on other than to defend an outdated view of reefer while simultaneously letting droves of otherwise good people feel it was morally acceptable to peruse malls and retail stores on actual Thanksgiving evening.

Eight Easy Steps to Help You Reach Your Goals

How many times have you been brushing your teeth and had a twinge of motivation about eating healthier, watching less TV, brushing your teeth more, or any other goals that would, in theory, be nice to achieve?  If you’re anything like me, most of that motivation is lost somewhere around the time I’m putting my toothbrush away.

What can we do to bridge the gap between twinge of motivation and actually achieving our goal?  I’ve been giving a lot of thought into where I’ve missed the mark on goals and where I’ve been successful.  I’ve noticed a pattern with the goals I’m able to successfully achieve compared to the goals that don’t ever materialize.  Continue reading “Eight Easy Steps to Help You Reach Your Goals”

A Bunch of Weird Things We’re Doing to Be Healthy

Mrs. Burrito Bowl and I do a lot of weird things in the pursuit of overall health and fitness.  I wouldn’t have thought any of these things are particularly strange but I can tell from the look on people’s faces when I explain my morning salt water cocktail, or drinking bone broth for lunch, that they have questions.

I thought it would be fun to have a running list of oddities that we’re trying in our pursuit for immortality.  Without further adieu, here’s a list of healthy people stuff we’ve got going on these days.

Side Note: We are legitimately pretty healthy so you should look into doing some of these things.

How to Be Proud of Yourself and Why It’s Important

Are You Proud of Yourself? 

Just in general.  If you’re not right now, I hope you will be by the end of this article.  Being proud of myself has always been a little bit of a struggle.  I wanted to celebrate my accomplishments, but I didn’t want to come across as boastful.  

It’s taken me a long time to get to the point where I am proud of myself and I feel good about it.  I used to feel a slight twinge of guilt start to creep in when I would contemplate self-pride.  I was raised to not be boastful.  The phrase “Pride cometh before a fall,” was etched into my subconscious from an early age.  Because of this I always had a knee jerk reaction against being overly proud of myself.   Continue reading “How to Be Proud of Yourself and Why It’s Important”

Life is Short- Spend for Today vs. Save for Tomorrow

Life is Short- Spend for Today vs. Save for Tomorrow

Can you believe how much of your life has already passed?  F-word, man. Summer has for sure faded and we’re smack dab in the middle of fall.  This time of year always gets me thinking, usually about random stuff like the eternal expanse of space or wondering what the ancient Egyptians were really like but sometimes I think about money questions.  Questions like should we be in camp spend for today or camp save for tomorrow?  Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and life passes us by at breakneck speeds, even if we are lucky enough to make it to this mythical tomorrow.
