Could You Eat Like Zach For A Week?

After Producer Zach found out that he was a type 2 diabetic, he decided to take matters into his own hands in an attempt to reverse his disease. Over the course of 9 months, he lost an impressive 80 pounds! He might kill me for using this picture. His plan obviously worked, so for week #3 of the “Bekah Try-it Diet,” I decided to give it a shot. Taking the Thought Out of Dieting The… … Continue reading

Things Got Messy with Our Easter Egg-stravaganza

We may be too old for Easter egg hunts, but we still wanted to have a little fun with some Easter-themed games! Things got out of hand when Wally and Betty tried to read phrases with peeps in their mouths, and Bekah and Zach are still washing egg out of their hair after trying to catch a mixture of hardboiled and raw eggs in a bowl on their heads.

No One Loves a Paleo Party (Because There’s No Cake)

The first time a friend told me she had gotten a “paleo cronut,” I thought she was learning Italian. Flash forward a few years, and it feels like half of my Instagram is filled with “Try this Paleo recipe!” and “I did Whole30, and it felt great!” If you’re like me, it probably all makes your head spin. Before now, I had no idea what any of those words meant. Even though I was happy… … Continue reading

What the Color of Your Car Says About Your Personality

Since we see ourselves as amateur psychologists, we’re always looking for ways to better understand each other! A recent survey found that your choice of car color actually leads people to make assumptions about your personality: Black: The good news is that people are more likely to see you as intelligent and charming. The bad news is you may also be seen as selfish. White/Silver: If you drive a white or silver car, you’re seen as more trustworthy!… … Continue reading

What Dieting Is Teaching Me About My Mental Health

Week 1 of the “Bekah Try-It Diet” is officially coming to a close, and good news: I survived it! The first 3 days were an honest struggle as I soldiered on in the “Flat Belly Diet.” I was starting to regret this entire process, and I had to motivate myself to finish the “sassy water”* that the beginning of the food plan required. *Sassy water is water infused with lemon, cucumber, ginger, and mint. It’s meant to… … Continue reading

What Did I Get Myself Into!?

Ugh. Dieting. Am I right? It comes with so many tough questions. What’s the best diet? What’s the easiest diet? How do I stay motivated in a world where cheeseburgers and ice cream exist? Well, this month, I’m setting out to try to answer some of those questions.

Danny Gokey Surprises a Deserving Fan

Last week, we heard from a girl named Autumn about how Danny Gokey’s song “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again” helped her during her recovery from a traumatic brain injury. We knew immediately that we had to tell him her story, and he was more than happy to help us with our little surprise.   When you hear her infectious joy, it’s easy to think that her recovery was simple.
