    Go Green When You Getaway To Vancouver's Amore By The Sea

    From changing your light bulbs to energy saving CFLs to using public transportation or biking, it's pretty easy to do your part in protecting the environment. So it makes sense to extend that mindset when you travel too! A dream of mine is to see the Olympics at least once in my life. The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games is coming up and while I haven't booked my tickets, I can still look, right? While on the search for eco-friendly hotels in Canada, Amore by the Sea Bed & Breakfast Inn and Seaside Spa fit the bill perfectly. Only 20 minutes away from downtown Victoria and an hour and a half ferry ride away from Vancouver, Amore by the Sea is perfect as a secluded retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are many beaches and hiking/biking trails nearby, as well as restaurants, unique shopping and sights. On 1.5 acres of oceanfront property, every room has scenic views of the ocean and private beach. How are they green, you ask? All public and private areas have motion sensor lighting to make sure energy is efficiently used. All their new appliances are Energy Star rated and they even use solar panels to hear their relaxation pool! To conserve water, the toilets are all low water flush and they only use the dishwasher when it's full. To top it all off, every guest room has recycling bins for paper, glass, and other recyclables. To learn more about Amore by the Sea, click the slideshow and visit their Web site!

    Hive 5: Pretend You're on the Olympics Beach Volleyball Team ...

    Few things motivate me to hit the gym as much as the Olympics. I mean really, sitting in bed while watching womens' beach volleyball just sounds bad for the ego, even while munching on supposedly healthy rice cakes, so onto the treadmill I went. But since the Olympics aren't a year-round event (training aside), I'll need something else- something other than the pair of super-sleek J Brand jeans I've had my eye on- to keep me making appearances at 24 Hour Fitness. Because these days, my usual attire, a ratty old college alumni tee is looking, well, ratty and old. Which is where these super cute workout clothes come in!
