You know that one restaurant your foodie friend refuses to shut up about? The one they almost don’t want to tell you about because it’s that good? That’s Locale Italian Kitchen. Tucked out on Blue Diamond, this place isn’t chasing influencers or Strip traffic. It’s...
A new year always makes me pay closer attention to where my money goes. Not because I’m tracking my budget, but because every dollar is a vote for the kind of world I want to live in. And this year, I want my vote to go to the people who show up for this city in ways...
There’s a moment every night, somewhere between tired and wired, when most of us make the decision that determines our hormonal balance for the rest of the night, which then determines our sleep quality AND possibly whether or not we overeat the next day. It’s...
And why that 2 a.m. ‘need to pee’ isn’t your bladder’s fault. Biohacking has a PR problem. Somehow it became synonymous with men in tech-grade gear, freezing themselves in tubs and tracking every variable like they're prepping for launch. And every time someone posts...
I built my life around paying attention - to people, to craft, to the small operators doing the real work. Over two decades of SteamyKitchen.com, three books, years cooking live on television…all of it taught me the same lesson: the people worth knowing are the ones...
There’s no shortage of brunch in Vegas. Bottomless mimosas, loud patios, lines out the door. But sometimes you just want something quieter. Slower. Like fresh-baked bread and a lakeside table where you can actually hear the person you’re with. That’s exactly what The...
It’s not easy to impress a sushi lover in Vegas. We’ve got omakase bars tucked into every corner of the valley. But Kaito Sushi? Kaito hits different. This new east-side gem is leaning hard into jukusei, Japan’s dry-aging technique for fish, and it’s doing it with...
It’s easy to lower your sandwich expectations. Most of us have been burned. Too many limp hoagies and soggy paninis can wear a person down. So when you walk into a place called Proper Sandwich Company, the bar in your mind might still be set to "eh, we’ll see." That’s...
If you grew up thinking chicken was just chicken, you’ve never had farm chicken. I’m talking about the kind with actual flavor. The kind that smells like dinner, not a damp sponge. Real chicken is hard to come by these days, but there’s a guy about an hour outside of...
There’s a rule at a good house party: you do not tuck yourself into a corner and talk about frequency medicine while the DJ is spinning something that makes the drywall breathe. Obviously, your Auntie Jaden broke that rule. It was Zion. Scorching hot desert air with...
Back in high school, boredom sent us to the mall. We’d roam in little packs, ducking in and out of stores, pulling outfits off racks like we owned them. In the dressing rooms, we’d spin in front of the mirror, swapping tops, debating whether the skirt was totally...
If you’re anything like me, the mere thought of meditation makes you cringe. Sitting still and “clearing my mind” feels so unattainable, it might as well be an Olympic event. The overactive thoughts are relentless, and don’t even get me started on yoga class. While...
These days, it feels like we’re living in two worlds at once. One world is powered by machines: algorithms, automation, and artificial intelligence humming beneath every post, headline, and swipe. The other world is rooted in humanity. It lives in the quiet beat...

How Rugged CrossFit is quietly redefining what it means to be strong... without the mirrors or macho bullsh*t. I recently spent an embarrassing amount of time designing my dream living room: a serene little sanctuary with a fluffy rug, a low coffee table and mounds of...
Horizon Ridge Chiropractic isn’t your typical wellness clinic, and that’s exactly why it works. While many chiropractic offices seem to be all spine talk and churning through patients, Horizon Ridge Chiropractic sets itself apart as something refreshingly...
The word "tallow" might make you think of old-school candle-making or something your great-grandmother used to cook with, but did you know that it’s actually one of the most powerful, skin-nourishing ingredients on the planet? Tallow’s made quite the comeback in the...
Self-care is supposed to be about nourishment. Soothing baths, calming candles, and the comforting embrace of a home that smells of fresh lavender or warm vanilla. But what if the very rituals we turn to for relaxation are silently detrimental to our health? Many of...
I’ll be the first to admit: I used to be a full-blown procrastinator. If it didn’t feel urgent, it lived in a black hole of unread emails, forgotten to-do lists, and unopened letters. And it's not as easy as "out of sight, out of mind." Those little things piled up,...
Mornings are a bit like a roulette wheel. You never know what mood you’ll land on. Some days, you’re up before the alarm with a "let’s crush life" vibe. Other days? Well, I don't know about you, there are days I wake up as a groggy goblin who can’t even fathom the...
I'll be 53 this year, and I FULLY believe you can age gracefully. But also, I believe that aging gracefully is more than skin deep. It's about keep your mind sharp, and your body balanced as well. And there's a great way to stack the deck in your favor: tea. Yep, that...
Let’s talk guts. Not the figurative kind that will prompt you to go skydiving on whim (though kudos to you if that’s your jam), but the literal, squishy, bacteria-packed kind, a.k.a. your digestive system. That gastrointestinal tract of yours is home to a bustling...
My husband and I have been in the cannabis and plant medicine space for over four decades collectively. We know the cannabis and hemp plants intimately, are experts in formulation, and with this knowledge comes one undeniable truth: Not all CBD products are the...
Bitter foods get a bad rap. And, I get it. No one’s dreaming of a big bowl of raw mustard greens when hunger strikes, right? But those bitter flavors we often balk at... turns out they play an important role in everything from digestive health to immune function. For...
Lately, I’ve been catching myself in a ridiculous scrolling loop. You know the one. You’re “just checking” something on your phone and suddenly it’s 45 minutes later, and all you’ve accomplished is learning what a stranger had for brunch and getting mildly annoyed by...
Chances are, you've probably heard a little something about the adaptogen craze, though the hype seems to center around the same basic ones, like ashwagandha or reishi mushroom. But there are so many more seriously underrated adaptogenic ingredients out there, and...
If you’re here because the phrase “food as medicine” caught your eye and you rolled them a little, I get it. For years, these words conjured images of overly optimistic hippies standing on street corners, selling raw milk, or even the more modern health...
Let’s talk about lunch breaks for a second, or, as many Americans know them, “that time of day when you scroll social media while inhaling a sandwich in three bites.” Yeah, we’re not doing that anymore. I don't know about you, but sometimes I completely forget I even...
A couple of years ago, I was in the midst of an epic skin battle. Random breakouts. Redness everywhere. And a super stubborn hormonal acne that camped out on my chin like it was paying rent. I tried every topical treatment out there, but nothing worked. Meanwhile, I...
Deep in the heart of the Hawaiian jungle, surrounded by volcanoes, fruit trees, and lava tubes, Zoe Durant—better known as @junglefairyfarm on Instagram—has created a life that’s about as far from conventional as you can get. At just 29, she’s raising two kids (ages 8...
Welcome to the New Year! The confetti has settled. The champagne bottles are (hopefully) in the recycling bin. And for a brief, glorious moment, it feels like anything is possible... which lasts right up until we start overcommitting ourselves and saying “yes” to...
I always thought I was the one in control. I mean, I do the work. I make the money. I choose to fill my house with the things I love. I decide what comes in and where it goes. I am the designer and curator of my immediate environment, and what could be more “in...
We’ve all been there. That era of a relationship where things start to feel a little too routine, a little too predictable, and you’re left wondering what happened to the FIRE. Before you know it, you’re Googling “how to get the spark back”, and looking up vacations...
What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "joy"? Is it a memory? A feeling? A visual of yourself in a certain place or around certain people? What does joy mean to you? Let's take a moment to breathe and contemplate how to get more...
We've all been there. Sometimes life gets a little wacky, and stress can put you in a mental, emotional, or sometimes even spiritual rut. The inspiration and motivation you had before seems to be evading you, and the universe seems to be throwing you curveball after...
