New year, new YouTube channel. One of our favorite food bloggers, Rachel Khoo, launched hers today under the user name rachelkhooks. Of course, there aren’t many videos yet, but in the introductory tidbit above, Khoo tells viewers (she already has over 2,500 subscribers!) what to expect: “delicious delights, vegetarian dishes, quick fixes, French patisserie,” and other requests she solicited from her ample following last year. We can’t wait to see what Khoo cooks up; we’re hoping for a visual guide to making Red Wine Roast Chicken and Carrot Tarte Tatin from her cookbook, My Little French Kitchen.

Ooh La La! Rachel Khoo's New YouTube Channel Is Live
New year, new YouTube channel. One of our favorite food bloggers, Rachel Khoo, launched hers today under the user name rachelkhooks.

Meet the Juice Guru Who Wants to Save the World
Meet Amanda Chantal Bacon, founder and chef of the cult Moon Juice outlets in Los Angeles, California. She opened the first in Venice three and a half years ago, and recently added a Silver Lake shop and a stand at the Ace Hotel in Downtown L.A. Among the offerings: “Gracious Greens” juice packed with romaine, spinach, mint, cucumber, and lemon; almond “Moon Milk;” and “Brain Dust,” a powder that “lights up your brain and increases mental flow by feeding neurotransmitters and brain tissue.”
Her interest in healthy eating started at a young age, when she had severe respiratory problems. “I went down the rabbit hole of Western medicine of the 80s, taking pink bubblegum-flavored antibiotics that were not working at all,” Bacon told us. She consulted an Ayurvedic doctor—what did she have to lose?—who called for her to eliminate white sugar, wheat, and dairy from her diet. She felt better immediately.
"It’s so common to hear that now—a lot of people avoid sugar, wheat, and dairy, even if only for part of the time—but in the 80s, this was really radical. We didn’t have attractive bottles of almond milk in every store and quinoa pasta. So the whole episode really forced me to create it," she said of Moon Juice. And because this self-proclaimed foodie has worked with the likes of chefs Alice Waters and Suzanne Goin, the juices and healthy snacks she offers have a gourmet slant.
Watch the video to learn more about Bacon, including the foods she loves, the ones you will never find in her fridge, and how she hopes to “save the entire human race.” And stay tuned, because for the next couple of days, we’re chatting with Bacon about the nutritive qualities of (very yummy) food.
Sauerkraut Is Sexy, Says L.A.'s Juice Guru
"Perhaps the most important things in my kitchen are live and active probiotics." Maybe that’s not something you hear often, but it’s something you’ll hear from Amanda Chantal Bacon, founder of cult Los Angeles juice shop and haute health food brand Moon Juice. For the next couple of days, we’re chatting with Bacon about the nutritive qualities of foods you might not be familiar with. In today’s post, we’re talking about probiotics, probiotic-rich fermented and cultured foods, and Bacon’s suggestions for getting more of both in your diet.
What they are: “Probiotics are microbes with beneficial bacteria that restore the natural balance in your gut,” explained Bacon. She sometimes takes probiotics in supplement form, and she also mixes vegetables with a probiotic powder that she sells via the Moon Juice pantry. ”That’s what we call a cultured food,” she said. Fermented foods, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, also contain probiotics.
Why she thinks they’re good for you: Bacon believes probiotics populate the intestines with organisms that defend against disease. “A healthy gut is key; you’ll start to notice smoother digestion, increased energy, elevated mood, glowing skin, stronger immunity, and potent liver cleansing,” she said.
Jennifer Garner is Done with Diets & High-Maintenance Beauty
I’m always fascinated by how celebrities behave when the cameras are off. Being behind the scenes as a makeup artist, I often see the difference between private moments and public ones—and sometimes it’s pretty extreme. That’s not the case with actress Jennifer Garner at all. When I first met Jennifer, she was in the pool with her three adorable kids with Ben Affleck—Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 2. She was just like any other devoted mom—playing and laughing, no entourage in sight. And thanks to recent anti-paparazzi legislation that she helped pass to protect kids, no cameras either.
Jennifer is the real deal—kind, funny, really down-to-earth, and all about family. When it comes to her professional life, she has a good sense of humor and perspective about the Hollywood machine. After nonstop dieting for her role as a badass superspy in Alias, she’s over it. From her gorgeous skin to her caring for her body, Jennifer talks about her low-maintenan
18 Fantastic Products from SkyMall, America's Final Great Bastion of Innovation
On Thursday, the company behind the nearly ubiquitous in-flight catalog SkyMall filed for bankruptcy. As the Wall Street Journal put it, the institution was simply a “victim of evolving rules and technology that now lets airline passengers keep their smartphones and tablets powered up during flight.”
For those who spent the majority of their early ’90s flights thumbing through the quarterly magazine, this is a tragedy. Like the mall staple Sharper Image, the catalog pushed the boundaries of absurdity in almost every category of domestic existence. Rather than attempt to fill the space of a practical retailer, the SkyMall catalog enticed you with overpriced items you never dreamed existed, items like hair-growing laser headsets or kitty litterboxes that resemble the Death Star.
They were all wildly expensive and impractical but all a tantalizing possibility when you were stuck on a delayed six-hour flight.
Below, we offer some of the more ingenious products the forlorn catalog brought us (some sourced from this wonderful Tumblr). Rest in peace, SkyMall, on your glorious and weird neck pillow in the sky. Read More
Top 500 Dofollow Social Bookmark List-2015
What is Social Bookmarking?
Social bookmarking is a way for people to store, organize, search, and manage “bookmarks” of web pages. Users save links to web pages that they like or want to share, using a social bookmarking site to store these links.
It is labeling a site and sparing it for some other time. As opposed to sparing them to your web program, you are sparing them to the web. What’s more, on the grounds that your bookmarks are on the web, you can undoubtedly impart them to companions.
What is Social News? Is Social News the Same as Social Bookmarking?:
Sites like Digg, Reddit and Propellerfocus on social bookmarking of news-related things, for example, governmental issues, sports, engineering, and so forth. These sites will regularly gimmick breaking features and bloggers talking about the current news things.
Social news locales are not quite the same as standard social bookmarking destinations by concentrating on particular articles and blog entries as opposed to sites. Due to this, they can be an incredible wellspring of news, and they additionally offer the capacity to partake in the talk by leaving remarks on mainstream news things.
How Can I Benefit From Social Bookmarking?
Social bookmarking and social news permit you to explicitly target what you need to see. As opposed to going into an internet searcher, writing something in, and after that hunting down that needle in a sheaf, you can rapidly tight down the things to what you are searching for.
Since numerous social bookmarking sitesdisplay as of late included records and well known connections, you can both stay current and see important data. Case in point, how about we say’s you are occupied with adapting more aboutsocial shopping. You may scan for social shopping on one of these destinations and concoct two articles: one with a hundred votes and one with two votes.
It’s really simple to tell that the article with a hundred votes may be your best decision. What’s more this is a ton simpler than putting “social shopping” into an internet searcher and seeing page after page after page of connections that might possibly be valuable.
Along these lines, what began as an approach to send bookmarks to companions has truly developed into social web search tools. You probably won’t have to page through a huge number of results to discover a needle in a sheaf. Presently, you can essentially go to a social bookmarking webpage, pick the classification or label that matches your advantage, and find the most prominent sites.
Do-Follow Bookmarking
“Do Follow” social bookmarking sites are of the prime essentials of all the bookmarking locales since your website gets some “x” PR every connection posted on a Do take after social bookmarking webpage, where estimation of “x” increments according to the PR of the page of the bookmarking webpage where your connection is posted. More the PR of “do take after” website more the PR your web journal gets past the back-link( your site wont get any PR through a connection posted on a No Do Follow webpage, even the webpage is Pr 10.
