What’s Your Valentine’s Day Tradition?

By casielukes / February 14, 2013

Ironically, I’m posting on Valentine’s Day — I may be the holiday’s least popular fan. I don’t like hearts (not a fan of the shape), the packaged candy (don’t enjoy bad chocolate or chalky sugar), balloons (they shrivel, squeak and make that awful popping sound), singing grams or stuffed bears holding I Love You hearts (cue red face and dust mites), or the expectation of receiving/giving something.

Even as a child, Valentine’s Day stressed me out. It all seemed to be a frenzied hoopla. I did, however, look forward to one thing: receiving my Grandpa’s cookies in the mail.

A rugged German farmer with a knack for building furniture who always expected lunch at exactly noon and whom I never heard say “please” the length of his life, my Grandpa made the most delicious Valentine’s cookies I’ve ever had. He decorated them in layers of cookie and pink and white frosting, with delicate looping borders. The man was a calligraphy frosting genius. There was something about those cookies that were genuine, simple, and ever so lovely.

At some point in college I became more jaded (possibly through a series of horrid breakups), and at the peak of my growing hatred for the day, I remembered those cookies, and how I missed them. And how they brought me joy through my first 16 years. I decided Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about enjoying something with people you care about, not last-minute dinner reservations or pink lace.

So I thought about what I enjoy: war movies, eating fantastic homemade food, staying inside when it’s freezing cold, and having an altogether no-pressure, relaxed evening. That’s been my Valentine’s Day tradition now for the past six years, and I have to say, my hate of the day has lessened. I even look forward to it now.

My nontraditional take on the holiday got me wondering how other culture’s celebrate it. A quick search at http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/02/13/valentines-day-traditions-around-the-world/slide/more-lists showed that although American traditions have influenced many cultures, they’ve also added twists of their own. In Thailand, couples celebrate weddings by hanging off cliff sides and sky-diving. Women also lay red roses and candles in the Trimurti shrine at the feet of the Hindu deity in hopes of finding a husband. In Guatemala, people dress up in masks or Mayan attire and participate in a senior citizen’s parade. In Germany, they make giant heart-shaped gingerbread cookies and hang them around their lover’s necks. In the Philippines, Valentine’s Day has become a time when hundreds of couples have mass marriages. In Japan, chocolate companies are bombarded by the obligatory tradition of women giving chocolates to their male colleagues, known as giri-choko (obligation chocolate). In return, men give women white chocolates in March.

Whether you love or loathe this 14^th day of February, I hope you do something you enjoy with someone you love, even if it involves Russell Stover, heart balloons, jewelry, chalky candy, last-minute dinner reservations, stuffed bears, singing-grams, or a new tradition. Or even your favorite cookie.

It’s About Your Story

By Heidi Wachter (@wachtergrrl) / February 12, 2013

I’ve never been a big financial planner or goal setter, but at the beginning of 2013, I decided to put myself on a budget. I admit it’s already the middle of February and I still need to set up my IRA deductions, but I did start a savings plan in the hopes of buying a house in the not-too distant future.

My main motivation for doing so is so I can be reunited with my dogs. It’s sadly cheaper to buy a home and pay a mortgage in the Twin Cities than it is to find a decent place to rent that will let you have two dogs. Why the dog hate, landlords?

Anyway, my new motivation, combined with a conversation that I had with my friend Jennifer Nelson about what we would do if we won a million dollars led me to peruse the article “It’s Not About the Money” and figure out what my financial archetype is.

Once I got over the feelings of irritation that being “typed” brought up, I answered Brent Kessel’s four questions.

I’m not motivated by money or status. I’m motivated by relationships. Those are two things I knew about myself going in, and Kessel argues that in order to have a healthy financial life, you need to examine your core story and since I LOVE stories that was an excellent motivator.

Answering his four questions was pretty insightful.

1. What is your most painful memory related to money?

My sister and I have had a falling out over money. We are no longer on speaking terms because of this situation.

2. What is your biggest fear about money?

I have two main “fears” or beliefs systems about money:

a. That fighting over money has the power to destroy relationships.

b. That having a lot of money leads to having access to more power and those two things often lead people to want more money and power thereby leading them to make decisions that harm others and the environment.

3. What were you taught was important about money?

My mom was my main parental figure and she taught me that if I wanted something, I was going to have to get a job to buy it for myself. I wasn’t supposed to ask her or anyone for anything. My mom told me once in an ominous tone: “never borrow money from anyone.” In fact, she instilled me with the notion that it’s isn’t polite to talk about money. When I was young, money was definitely tight. There were trips to pawn shops to sell things. And, we often purchased bigger things — such as sofas and dining sets — on lay-away. Is this sort of arrangement an option anymore?

4. When have you been most positively or negatively moved by money?

I like spending money on travel, taking classes, going to concerts or taking in events that allow me to experience something rather than ending up with an item. I also like to donate to causes or help other people, particularly if a friend or family member is involved in the fundraising.

After answering the questions and reading the types, I’d say I’m most like “The Idealist” and that I definitely place value on creativity, social justice or spiritual growth.

I also see a lot of “The Innocent” in my story. I definitely avoid putting too much attention on money and hope that things will simply “work out.” I definitely learned that lesson from my mom about it not being polite to talk about money. A couple weeks ago, my friend Karen was asking me if I had a conversation about money that I was avoiding and when I explained how the conversation “sorta happened,” she teased me: “Well, good to see you really pressed the issue.”

Ok, ok. I realize I have some work to do to overcome the lessons I’ve internalized about money. The good news is that some of what I have learned may be valuable as Kessel argues that we all need a balance of each archetype in order to find financial peace. Or, as he says “We are free when we move from a focus on getting love, abundance, peace and freedom to being love, abundance, peace and freedom.”

I’m starting my journey to being love, abundance, peace and freedom by cultivating more aspects of “The Saver” into my financial accounts this year. Then maybe I’ll feel more confident in being “The Empire Builder.”

What’s YOUR financial archetype?

There are a lot of things I enjoy about being on set for one of our Confident Cook photo shoots (like sampling Betsy Nelson’s recipes, bending Terry Brennan’s ear about his lighting techniques, etc.). But my favorite thing is learning about a healthy food item I’ve never cooked with before. Our quinoa shoot was a good example.

After tasting Betsy’s delicious food items that included quinoa, I decided I needed to find ways to add this super seed to my diet. I started by substituting cooked quinoa for rice with some meals, especially ones that include a sauce, and the next day I sprinkle leftover plain quinoa on my lunch salad. Next I plan to try cooked quinoa with fruit and nuts for breakfast.

Thanks to Betsy and Terry for all their hard work in bringing our food photos to life, and hopefully inspiring readers to do the same!

My Vision (Board) for the Future

By Jocelyn Stone (@jocelynstone) / February 5, 2013

I’ve been meaning to make a vision board for years. Pilar’s been on me since last fall to put one together. And I have this deep-seated, although unfounded, belief that big things are going to happen for (or maybe, to) me in 2013. There’s just one problem.

I hate arts and crafts.

I’ve tried, I swear I have. More than once I’ve gathered a pile of old magazine, scissors, poster board and glue sticks, and spread out on the living room floor, ready to set my destiny. I’ve even gotten as far as ripping a few pages out of the magazines. But eventually, I get distracted by my dog or frustrated because I’m not cutting perfectly straight lines, and I move on to something else. Being crafty is not my thing (unless it’s possibly in a sneaky way) and not even a strong desire to set my life goals can overcome that.

Playing with technology, on the other hand, is a completely different story.

Last week, my coworker, Courtney, was sharing her experience about a vision board app that she had recently tried on her iPhone. She prompted me to remember that several years ago I had come across some vision-board software on Oprah.com. I knew that I had played around with it for a while and I had saved at least the start of a board, but I wasn’t even sure that the program still existed.

The next day I decided to check the site out and there it was (now, with more pictures added, above), my unfinished board from years gone by. Not surprisingly, the few images that were there still accurately reflected what I’m looking for out of life — I’m nothing if not consistent.

The program is pretty easy to use. You can find it at www.oprah.com/packages/o-dream-board.html, along with a slew of articles on how to determine your passions, set your goals and create your vision board. I believe that you can create a board right away, but you will have to sign up for an account in the Oprah community to be able to save it.

After you create a new board, you can add the images and words that best represent your goals. There is a pretty large selection of pictures and words on the site that you can use, and the program lets you write out other words and phrases of your choosing. You can also upload your own pictures from your computer.

Once you’ve finished, you can print the board on paper, or save it to your computer as a jpeg file. Et voila — your own vision board! I’ve printed out several copies that I’ve put up in my cubicle at work and several places in my house, and I’ve made the board the wallpaper for both my personal and work computers.

I still want to do some more work on the board over time. And, this is only the first step in a long list toward setting and achieving my goals. Still, it was a fun way to spend a winter weekend.

Do you have a vision board? I’m hoping to put together a slideshow of Experience Life team members’ boards, and if you’d like to send me a picture of yours (email me at jstone2@experiencelife.com), I’d love to add it to the mix. And, if you’re like me and you have never gotten around to making one for yourself, check out the program at Oprah.com and see if it’s for you.

Happy visioning!

An Optimized Website!

By Jamie Martin (@jamielmartin) / January 31, 2013

I promised in my previous blog post that this time I would be writing about how I got into teaching prenatal yoga — that, however, will just have to wait! Today, I’m really excited to talk about a project that our team has spent the last several months working on: optimizing ExperienceLife.com so it has a responsive design.

“What the heck is responsive design?” you might be thinking to yourself. “And why do I care?” Well, let me explain.

If you have a mobile phone or tablet, and you’ve visited ExperienceLife.com over the last year or two on that device (whether via our awesome “101 Ways” app, our newsletters or a random Google search), you probably noticed that our site was not optimized for mobile browsing. You had to use those fingers to pinch the screen and make the text bigger so you could read an article. You probably hit a button or link unintentionally because it was so small and tough to grab. Well I’m happy to report that is no longer the case!

As of 10 pm CST last night, ExperienceLife.com is optimized so that it will respond to the size of the device you’re on — basically, the site detects where you’re browsing from and then “snaps” to your device’s screen size. Rather than giving you a whole new experience, though, it keeps certain characteristics of the parent size (like navigation, for instance), so you can easily find your what you’re looking for.

So if you’re used to seeing this on our desktop version:

You’ll now see this when you visit via an iPad or similarly sized tablet:

And you’ll see this when you come from a handheld device:

Much improved, right?! There is still some clean up to be done and some quirks to be resolved, as is to be expected with the launch or re-launch of any major project, but we’re so excited to FINALLY be tablet- and mobile-friendly. Many, MANY thanks to our Twin Cities-based developer, Garrick Van Buren, for making this happen (and for his endless patience with our very nitpicky, detailed team!).

If you see anything strange on the version you’re viewing or have feedback in general, please feel free to email us at experiencelife@experiencelife.com — we’d love to hear your thoughts and do anything we can to further improve the experience.

Happy browsing!

Issue Planning: September 2013

By Courtney Opdahl (@clewisopdahl) / January 29, 2013

We do a lot of collaborating at Experience Life, and thoughtful planning goes into each issue. The entire year is considered, starting with two big-picture concept meetings, narrowing in on topics of interest for each issue’s theme. Then we break each issue into smaller planning meetings, where editors can hone pitches, offer sources, brainstorm multimedia and online accompaniments, and get feedback from the team.

I’ve been using Evernote to keep track of story ideas, studies, stats, trends and other concepts I’m generally curious about. I can use the app on my laptop, iPhone and iPad (pictured below), since all the notes are synced, so when I’m out shopping at the grocery store, for example, I can note a new-to-me food to pitch for Confident Cook or a great-smelling shampoo for Worthy Goods. Later, when we are in a meeting, like we were today for the September issue, I was able to pull together all those ideas by searching for “September 2013 issue ideas.”

But some of our ideas come straight from our great readers. Case in point: We recently received a letter from a reader who was upset about a suggestion to use melatonin when struggling with sleeplessness. After doing some fact-checking, I discovered some controversy about the hormone, so I mentioned it to our health and nutrition editor, Anjula. And we pulled in our copy chief, Steve, to get his thoughts (he had come across the same video segments online that I had discovered), and our executive editor, Dave. Once we decided it needed further investigation, we found a home for it in News & Views for September.

The ideas can come from anywhere, and I think it’s especially cool when they make this kind of connection back to you, our readers. It’s the conversation coming full circle.

So, what stories do you want to read in an upcoming issue of Experience Life? Or what have liked in the magazine or wanted to know more about?

The Great Hair Experiment

By casielukes / January 24, 2013

This Christmas, I asked for used books from Amazon — because if there’s one thing I enjoy about a Midwestern winter, it’s the entitlement to stay inside, curl under a warm blanket with a cup of tea, and read. In other words, I go into “extreme hermit mode.” I digress …

One title I received is No More Dirty Looks: The Truth About Your Beauty Products and the Ultimate Guide to Safe and Clean Cosmetics by Siobhan O’Connor and Alexandra Spunt, a resource I found while reading Beauty Makeover at http://ex periencelife.com/article/beauty-makeover/.

The authors cover products for hair, face, makeup, body, nails, and my personal favorite, “The Ingredient Blacklist.” They also outline the affects these ingredients have on your health. Although it starts a bit slow, the authors do a good job of easing the reader into the information, which is fairly disturbing, and providing healthy alternatives.

Take formaldehyde. Yes, the same substance used to embalm dead people. The Beauty Industry puts this substance in nail polish, makeup, bubble bath, baby lotions, hair dye, antiperspirant and shampoo. Classified by the International Agency for Research Cancer as a carcinogen, it can cause immune-system toxicity, liver problems, and be an irritant and allergen.

Who wants to be rubbing formaldehyde in their hair on a daily basis? Not me. Hence, my hair experiment. I have blonde curly hair. Curly hair I’ve tried to straighten my entire life — with a curling iron, flat iron, and clothes iron. I washed it daily with non-organic shampoo and conditioner. I attempted to calm it down with hair gel, hair spray, hair foam, hair oil. You name it, I’ve tried it. And you know what? It only got worse. It became dry, brittle, frizzy, and very, very unhealthy. (The food I used to eat wasn’t helping my cause either, another holistic aspect the authors touch on.) So I thought I’d try some of the suggestions in No More Dirty Looks for cleaning up my hair-care regimen.

I’m a skeptic, but I followed the recommendation to wash my hair backward. I wetted it down, put a quarter-size dollop of recommended conditioner into it, and let it sit. According to the book, our scalps produce sebum, a natural conditioner for our hair, which also protects us from infection. Since shampoo strips so much of it away, we begin over-producing sebum, causing our hair to appear greasy. Shampoo’s job is to grab and pull out excess dirt particles, making our hair feel clean. And it does its job well. So well, in fact, we need conditioner because it not only strips our natural scalp oils, it also strips all the helpful nutrients from our hair. This causes it to become overly dry, brittle, and more unmanageable. (I kept telling myself these things as I waited for the conditioner to soak in, imagining my roots being a greasy, nasty mess afterward.) I rinsed the conditioner out, used a bit of shampoo and a quick rinse. And it worked. My hair felt clean. It looked clean. And it dried in loose, soft, un-frizzy waves. The next day when I styled it, adding a few curls here and there with a curling iron, I had fewer fly-aways.

This technique is recommended by Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda (it also includes washing your entire body with conditioner, which I opted out of). Want to give it a try? Follow these easy steps:

Make sure you have good, organic shampoo and conditioner. (Some brands recommended by the authors include: Aubrey’s Rosa Mosqueta Nourishing Shampoo, Dr. Hauschka Shampoo with Apricot and Sea Buckthorn, John Masters Organics Zinc and Sage Shampoo with Conditioner, Aubrey’s GPB Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner and Intelligent Nutrients Leave-In Conditioner.)
Wet your hair down.
Wash hair with quarter-sized amount of conditioner. Let it sit for a few minutes.
Rinse your hair.
Apply small amount of shampoo to hair, and rinse.
Towel off, and you’re good to go!

Come Fly with Me

By Heidi Wachter (@wachtergrrl) / January 22, 2013

I love (and am grateful for) going to exciting and fun places, but I don’t much care for airline travel itself. I tend to feel foggy-headed and nauseous during most of it. I also know planes are great incubators of various germs, an especially relevant concern during cold and flu season. It’s a bummer being sick, but especially so when you’re traveling.

I’m sure you’ve also noticed that airports have limited healthy eating options. It’s a sea of Big Macs, Whoppers, bagels, frozen yogurt and tiny bags of peanuts and pretzels.

The past few times I’ve traveled though, I’ve changed up some things to make it a bit more fun and healthier.

My pre-flight routine now includes using my neti pot to clean out my nasal passages. I also bought a nasal spray to take along as the neti pot is a bit cumbersome to carry in my luggage although it appears they do make travel versions. I got a tip on the nasal spray from some Experience Life twitter followers. It really does pay to be the community engagement specialist!

I follow up the neti pot process with a a series of sun salutations and stretches to get my blood flowing, calm my pre-flight jitters and to clean out my sinuses further.

I add a vitamin C with zinc tablet to my regular daily multivitamin, vitamin D and digestive enzyme regimen. I’ve actually been doing this all winter anytime I know I’m going to a party, the Experience Life office or any place it seems I may be in closer quarters with a lot of other people. So far, I’ve avoided getting a cold or the flu. That tapping sound you hear now is me knocking on wood.

Food wise, I pack my own snack bag. This helps me use up the things I may have on hand in my cupboard and refrigerator so that I don’t have to throw away food. What I end up eating is a little different each time depending on what’s on hand.

This trip, I found the following items in my vegetable bin and cabinet and they made for a pretty delicious and healthy alternative to the airport food options:

2 cups of raw almonds (I didn’t eat these all at once, but I knew I’d eat them at some point during my vacation.)
A KIND bar
2 clementines (more vitamin C!)
1 cucumber (that I sliced into wedges before I left home.)
A few slices of (a type of hard, cheddar) cheese along with some rice crackers.
2 squares of dark chocolate
The remainder of a bag of pre-washed spinach

I wasn’t sure how I’d like eating raw spinach with no dressing or mixed in with other yummy salad fixings, but it was actually really delicious and spinach is an excellent source of vitamin C and E, beta-carotene, manganese, zinc and selenium, making it an excellent antioxidant and travel companion.

My travel snacks were really good, but mostly they made me feel like I was doing something good for my body, which is just as important in my opinion.

Finally, after all the sitting on the plane, I did a little more yoga (I consider it a way to practice meditation on-the-go) at the gate to a few confused glances and a couple of smiles. I must be on to something here as I came across this article that reports some airports are opening yoga studios.

On my trip home, I’ll try out my nasal spray, pack my own lunch and do more yoga. This time, though, maybe I’ll ask if anyone wants to join me in a moment or two of pre-flight Zen.

Happy and healthy trails!

Finding My Chi

By Jocelyn Stone (@jocelynstone) / January 17, 2013

(photo credit: adropp via photopin cc)

If you’ve read recent posts on this blog, you know that most of the Experience Life team participated in the Commitment Day 5K race here in Minneapolis. It’s been fun to hear everyone’s individual take on the race because, although we walked or ran the same route (in the same – 5-degree weather), it seems that each one of us had our own unique experience.

Personally, I had just barely enough energy after the race to make my way home, flop on the couch and take a two-hour nap. When I woke up, my lower limbs were stiff, my body felt like it weighed 1,000 pounds and my brain was so foggy, I couldn’t have carried on a semi-intelligent conversation. My only coherent thought was, I hope I never have to do another 5K — ever. And that was just from walking. Running has never been my thing.

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Danny Dreyer, creator of ChiRunning and ChiWalking, for the Contributors’ Page that I write for the magazine, and he told me that with his system, you can actually have more energy after a run than before. “In fact,” he said, “I ran 17 miles yesterday, and I had to come home and find things to do to wind down.”

Hmm.

We talked more, and Dreyer explained in more detail his blending of running (or walking) with elements of Tai Chi to create the flow of “chi” (or energy) throughout the body. I was (and still am) intrigued — with a healthy dose of skepticism. (I kept saying things like, “In theory, that is so cool!” and Dreyer would just laugh at me.)

But, I admit it: I’m very fascinated. Run a few miles, and have even more energy afterward — can you imagine it? Needless to say, I’m off to start reading ChiRunning, and once the snow and ice melt, I’m going to see if I can start putting this “theory” into practice. Just think of all of the things I’ll be able to do with my extra energy!

Who knows? Maybe I’ll even enter another 5K this summer.

Illustration Creation: Thanks, but No Thanks

By Stephanie Glaros / January 15, 2013

Sketches, revisions, and final art for the article “Thanks, but No Thanks.”

One of my (many) goals in 2013 is to be more social. My husband and I are homebodies, and it’s sometimes easy to forget that we humans are essentially social beings. On the other hand, sometimes we get invited to social engagements that we just don’t want to attend for various reasons: sounds like too much work and/or money, have more pressing things to do, it’s been a long day, etc. The article “Thanks, but No Thanks” (Jan/Feb 2013) addresses the challenge of saying “no” without feeling guilty, or worse, making up a lie.

For the illustration, I called Aaron Leighton, whose graphic style and upbeat tone seemed perfect for the assignment (you may remember him from “The Art of Conversation” in our July/August 2012 issue).

For many illustrations, one of the big questions I ask myself is whether we should illustrate the problem (feeling stressed about having too many social invitations) or the solution (saying “no” gracefully). There’s no right or wrong answer, and Aaron offered us a sketch for each. We decided to go with the solution, and only asked him to adjust the colors.

In the end, the final illustration (bottom right) perfectly captures a woman saying “no” with confidence and grace.
