Realm health and fitness tips from Kyle
As the days get colder, we have more layers of clothing between the world and our naked bodies. This means that we are more apt to pack away the pounds of fat where no one can see them – OUR BELLIES. Here is a simple, 4 ingredient, hot chocolate recipe the will help you fight the hard battle against the freezing weather.
Start by boiling 1 cup of milk (I use whole milk). Mix in 2 rounded tsp of cocoa powder and 1 tbs of sweetener (I prefer stevia or honey) and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. If you want to stay extra warm and have fresh breath, add a shot of peppermint schnapps.

Monday blues
This picture more or less sums up how I feel about most Mondays.
2014 Santa Speedo Run in Boston
It most definitely didn’t feel like Christmas yesterday with the temperature in the low 40s and a persistent drizzle, but that all changed when we walked into the Back Bay for the 15th annual Santa Speedo Run, which brings together hundreds of men and women who raise money so they can run through the streets of Boston in a speedo and little else. This has become quite the tradition and is an event both Sergio and I look forward to each year. Enjoy our 2014 video and share it with friends who may not have been able to see this firsthand.
Saturday night video: Looking Season 2 Trailer
Earlier this week HBO issued another teaser for the second season of Looking, which returns Sunday, January 11, 2015. I’m not a fan of the 30-minute format for dramas, but I eventually did get hooked on the series. Do you plan on watching Season 2 of Looking?
Toys for Joys party tonight 8pm – 1am

Fantasy football
I’d be far more inclined to watch college football if the players looked like this guy. I suppose this is my version of ‘fantasy football’.
You might be from New England if…
you ever had one of these sandwiches before. Can you name that sandwich?
Santa Speedo Run in Boston today
Soon Boston will host their 15th Annual Santa Speedo Run in Back Bay. I’ll be there to photograph all the fun and create another video. If you are attending any parties or running this year, send me your photographs before 2PM ET today and I’ll try to include them in this year’s video.

Bonus Fur
Okay so he is more scruffy than furry but I couldn’t resist the post. Look at those lips and chocolate brown eyes.
Washio laundry / dry cleaning app comes to Boston
Do you hate doing laundry? Washio is a laundry / dry cleaning app that started servicing Boston and some surrounding communities last month. I was only too eager to try this new service when they approached and asked me if I would give their service a try.
For professionals on the go and busy couples, I can see how Washio could become quite addicting. The service, which is app-based, could not be easier to navigate. It only took a few minutes to create a profile, schedule a pick up and drop off. Prices are reasonable considering the convenience: wash & fold is $1.70/lbs.; launder & pressing men’s dress shirts $2.75; and dry cleaning men’s dress pants $7.95. For the full pricing list link here.
More information here: getwashio.com
I was impressed by the punctuality, polite service and ease of use. With winter coming, the idea of trudging down the street to lug my dress shirts and pants back home becomes less amusing and the convenience of Washio more compelling. Washio continues to expand their service here in Boston so check their website for more details. Washio also operates in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Chicago and DC. Check out their promo video below.
