Turn Your Smartphone Into A Microscope

This morning I played around with a pretty cool trick. You can turn your smartphone camera into a “microscope” of sorts using a tiny water droplet! I used my fingertip to place a droplet of water over the outer glass of my iPhone lens, juuuuust small enough to cover the glass and be held on by surface tension. Then just hold something up really close to the lens! It works in video or still mode, and I found that having the light on can help.

I chose to investigate a very small and very well preserved Tyrannosaur that I dug up.

I don’t think I need to tell you to BE CAREFUL and don’t hold me responsible if you get water in your phone. Just a dab’ll do ya. Also, best not to mention this to anyone at Ye Olde Smartphone Shoppe, or wherever you buy your gear.

Show me what you zoom in on!!

healthyhappykali:

The “Instead of Binging Jar” was one of the best things to happen to me. I have suffered with a binge eating disorder for many years now and I honestly thought that I could never escape it but this idea has been such a big help.

To make the “Instead of Binging Jar”, simply find a jar and decorate it however you please. What matters the most is what you put inside of it. You will take small pieces of paper and write something to do in place of binging on each one. Every time you feel a binge coming on, pick one of the pieces of paper and DO WHATEVER IT SAYS. Continue to pick papers until the feeling is gone. Feel free to use some ideas from the following list. :)

Instead of Binging:

Drink a glass of water.

Do a 15 minute workout.

Take a walk outside.

Start reading your favorite book.

Take a bubble bath.

Paint your nails.

Watch your favorite television series/movie.

Clean or re-organize your house.

Call your best friend or significant other.

Look through inspirational posts on Tumblr.

Add a new blog post.

Make a Youtube video.

Go for a drive.

Listen to relaxing music.

Write a letter to yourself.

Stretch.

Make a healthier snack.

Sing a song.

Dance around the room like a dork.

The biggest thing to remember is that food does not control you. You are stronger than any binge.

If you ever start feeling like you may binge, PLEASE feel free to message me or someone you trust. I will be here for you until the feeling has passed.. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.

These are some of my favorite desserts but redone in a healthier way! Many of them use lighter ingredients like bananas and other fresh fruit, avocado and nut whole grains to lower calories and fat while adding nutritional value and still tasting great!

Super easy exercises, not-so easy after 1 set, but that’s the best part right? I promise you will FEEL the burn after 3 minutes. You WILL feel your fat being blasted just for 25 minutes of your life, then you’re done. How amazing is exercising? Reward yourself with some gnarly yoga after this hardcore sesh.

keep-pushing-harder: 1. Just do it. Don’t wait until tomorrow...

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:07:24 -0400

keep-pushing-harder:

1. Just do it. Don’t wait until tomorrow or next week, or next month. Do it today. Run to the mailbox to get your mail, run to the end of the block, run with your dog until he goes to the bathroom and then run home. Start today and never look back.

2. Don’t start out too fast. This is a common mistake that new runners make. You start out too fast, then feel exhausted, out of breath, and defeated. We don’t want that, so start slow. No, I mean really slow. Slower than you think you need to. If, after a while, you feel like you can pick up the pace, then great, go for it. But, for now, pace yourself, you are in it for the long haul.

3. Get fitted for some good running shoes. Find a running store and get fitted. A good pair of running shoes will cost from $85-$120 but they are so worth it. Take the time to get the right pair. It will save you time, blisters, and injuries in the long run. Here is a great resource for finding the right shoe.

4. Try not to get frustrated. Even the most seasoned runners have a bad run. If one day you have a terrible run, don’t give up, it happens to the best of us. The next one will be better, I promise.

5. If you are running on the road, run against traffic, that way you see the cars and can get out of the way if they don’t see you.

6. Don’t compare yourself to others. So what if tiny shorts lady can run a 7 minute pace. You run at your pace and that’s that. If you want to do speedwork when you have this running thing down, then by all means do it. But do not compare yourself to others. Running is individual. Run for yourself, not for anyone else.

7. Listen to your body!Don’t push yourself….stop if you need to stop, slow down if you need to slow down, and eventually it will all come together and you too will feel that “Runner’s High” ;-)

8. Find what motivates you- whether it is getting faster or losing weight or going to new distances, set a goal and work towards it in small increments.”

Clean Eating Cookie Dough

Ingredients:

1/2 c quick cooking oats

1/4 c natural peanut butter

2 tsp vanilla

2 squares of dark chocolate (we use one square of Lindt 85% cocoa & one square of 90% cocoa)

1 Tbsp honey

1/4 c egg whites (make sure you use the 100% egg whites, pasteurized)

1 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a blender.

Place wax paper on a plate & add cookie dough (you can shape however you would like).

This is the hard part…put them in the freezer for at least an hour. I have found that after 2 hours they taste the best!

Moon Rise Time Slice…. this is a collage of 11 photos taken over 27 minutes and 59 seconds

Gorgeous. Also photographic proof that the moon is not, in fact, larger near the horizon. That is merely an illusion.

What do they call that illusion? “The Moon Illusion” of course. ASAPScience did a really nice video about it.

Not only that, but see how the moon is red near the horizon? That’s because of the same science that makes the sunsets red and orange! And I did a video about that: “Why is the Sky Any Color At All?”

It all comes together, man! Science!
