Now let me tell you why that was more than likely entirely my fault. I ordered the BluePrint 2-day cleanse (a total… Continue reading My Juice Cleanse Fail
I thought it was time to do a juice cleanse, to jumpstart my Low Carb High Fat Diet. A diet that was INCREDIBLY beneficial for me, for all of 30 days I did successfully. I know a lot of people think it's not a sustainable diet, I mean giving up carbs almost entirely? That's insane!… Continue reading Juice Cleanse: BluePrint

The ambiance and location was perfect for a pre-theater dinner and the service was on point. Having said all that, it is exactly what you would expect from a famous chef's restaurant: overpriced.… Continue reading Bar Americain: Expensive but Yummy

I knew it… Continue reading Best Pizza… EVER in Kutna Hora!
