Subjekt Herphones Review

When you look for tech products for women, you'll most likely find a barrage of pink and lavender gadgets with unimpressive specs. But there are a few times that I'm surprised by a "lady gadget," and the Subjekt Herphones ($25) is one of them.

Udi's: Finally, a Good Gluten-Free Bread

Review of Udi's Gluten-Free Bread

I love bread, something that became very apparent to me while doing the Remove diet. Since gluten was off-limits, I tried my share of gluten-free bread, and from my own experience, most of it is not good. Store-brand gluten-free breads are rock hard and are really only edible when toasted, but even then, they're still pretty bad. It ended up being easier to give up bread altogether than eat the Read more

Motorola Atrix 4G Review

A lot of gadgets cross our desks at Sugar HQ, but rarely does one pique the interest of everyone — even the IT guy. The Motorola Atrix 4G and its optional accessories are like nothing I've seen before, most notably because it essentially turns into a fully functioning PC and home entertainment center. The phone runs on AT&T's new 4G network and connects via a dock to either a laptop or to Read more

Review of the 890 Running Shoe by New Balance

The barefoot running trend is, ironically, creeping into sneaker design. Inspired by the phenom of running sans shoes, many popular running shoe brands are bringing lighter weight running shoes to the market this Spring. New Balance, a company that built its reputation on well-cushioned, fortified sneakers, is introducing the revamped 890 running shoe ($100). It's a bantam weight sneaker — Read more

Gnomeo & Juliet Review

Go gnome this weekend! I'm not a fan of watching movies more than once, but I've already seen Gnomeo & Juliet twice (Disney flew me down for the premiere). And I can't wait to take my kids and see the animated musical again from their perspective. As a mom, I take a chance every time I head to the theater with my three children — ages 6, 4, and 1 — and cross my fingers that my littlest Read more

Review and Nutrition Facts For Peanut Butter and Chocolate Energy Bars

I aim to eat fresh real food whenever possible, but early morning workouts and a rushed commute to work means I occasionally reach for energy bars on the go. My flavor of choice is peanut butter and chocolate (because how could you not love the salty and sweet combo?!) and I've tried more varieties than I care to admit. Some are protein-filled and a delight like candy, and others taste like Read more
