Featured drink of the day: Grassroots’ Red Sunshine with carrots (seriously, carrots, this is just getting ridiculous now), apples, orange juice and beets Ain’t gonna lie. Last night was rough. But I am pleased to report that I am back on track today. Matter of fact, I even woke up early! I know crawling out of bed [...]
Featured drink of the day: Grassroots Cranberry Cleanser with lemon, cranberry juice, concentrate, carrots (I told you!), apples and parsley It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. I finally discovered my favorite Grassroots juice—the aforementioned Cranberry Cleanser—but within hours of drinking it, I was starving. So I drank about a [...]
In an attempt to feed people’s insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip, The Specktator and my trusted panel of reporters, the Eye-Team, report sightings of local luminaries (aka J-listers) and “real” stars about town, in a segment we affectionately refer to as “Invasion of Privacy.” I apologize for the tardiness in reporting this sighting; however, I just found out [...]
Featured juice of the day: Grassroots’ Sweet Ginger with apples, carrots (see?!?) oranges and extra ginger Still not hungry. Still not ready to pass out. How can this be? Is trainer-to-the-stars Michael Walker some kind of evil genius? I mean, not only has he only convinced one of the world’s most dedicated (and dare I [...]
Follow The Specktator on Twitter for up-to-the-minute (albeit, sometimes vague) Stalker Alerts™. I mean, how else would you know where former Jags quarterback David Garrard (whose personal website seems to have disappeared) is celebrating his birthday this weekend? Hope he remembers the pimp hat.
Featured juice of the day: Grassroots’ Electrolyte Replacer with parsley, celery, apples, lemons and carrots It’s day two of the CTSM 10-day Juice Fast, and I’m shocked by two things: 1) I’m not starving to death; and 2) I am not weak and/or feeling faint because I haven’t eaten in 24 hours. Not only do [...]
So today’s the big day: day one of the CSTM 10-day Juice Fast. To be honest, I’m a little scared. OK, maybe scared isn’t the right word. Leery is probably closer to the truth … not about the fast itself since I know trainer-to-the-stars Michael Walker wouldn’t promote it if it weren’t beneficial and, more [...]
For those of you who don’t know me personally (or Facebookly), I’ve been on a weight-loss crusade since last May. By changing my eating thanks to Weight Watchers and sweating my ample arse off courtesy of Cross Training San Marco (CTSM), I’ve managed to rid myself of 56 pounds (also known as a first grader). Lately, however, I [...]
Ever since Shad Khan docked his boat (nay, twin screw diesel yacht) Kismet in front of the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront last month, folks have been dying to get a peek inside. Since I have not yet received my “Welcome Aboard” party invitation, nor do I know how to swing onboard a seafaring vessel pirate-style, I [...]
Local American Idol fans were probably disappointed that they didn’t get to see Steffanie Renae (aka Stephanie Renae, aka Stephanie Renee), the 15-year-old singer from Middleburg, or Christopher Medina, the 21-year-old Jacksonvillian who I will forever refer to as “the guy who refused to let me interview him for Jacksonville Magazine three years [...]
