Grimes and Elon Musk made their relationship debut at the 2018 Met Gala on May 7th. So we know he likes brainy chicks, and that she dresses Goth, and likes geeks. But who is Claire Boucher aka Grimes? 1. The woman who's real name is Claire Boucher, came to Musk's attention for a tweet about a character who named "Rococo Basilisk" for a video of her song "Flesh Without Blood." "I don't know if you've heard of Roko's Basilisk," she told Fuse. "[This character] is doomed to be et...
By Kat Thomas, Edible Skinny As you'll see from this interview, timing is everything in life.

Wienir's latest book, Amsterdam Exposed: An American's Journey into The Red Light District, is an original and provocative travel memoir detailing his...
It sounds sort of counterintuitive doesn't it? The idea that creating firm, clear boundaries will actually cause a BREAKTHROUGH in your life. But, if I boiled this concept right down and said: you only have a certain amount of energy to dedicate to your hopes and dreams. And that if people around you drain you beyond your metaphorical, tank balance minimum - and you're unaware, your in danger of running on empty. That highlights a dire need to measure your energy. Don't you...

A few weeks ago Edible Skinny was lucky to spend a few days exploring Conejo Valley for a Father/Daughter Getaway. Now we (sheepishly) admit up until this time we had only driven through this area of SoCal on our way to more "well know" (READ: overcrowded) vacation destinations. But with a few days of R&R on the docket, we decided to catch a break in Conejo Valley. Known as a home away from home, Conejo Valley is located less than 30 minutes from the beaches of Malibu and 45...

The second part of Edible Skinny's Girls Getaway trip brought us to the Willamette Valley for a day of whimsy, wine and waxing poetic of the expanding state of Oregon vineyards.

Today this wine region is home to 530 wineries and almost 20.000 acres of planted vineyards. It's been quite the evolution, leading to Wine Enthusiast naming Oregon's...

For most people, summer camp is just something they did for a couple of weeks as a kid but for many it was much more than that. As someone who has experienced summer camp as both a camper and a counselor, I can tell you that it will not only give the parents a rest but can also change a kid's life for the better. Summer camp gave me the confidence to be a stay-at-home dad and to self-publish a book based on the games and activities that filled my summers. A website was...

Later I discovered travel writing and added Tahiti, Malaysia,...
A few weeks ago, Edible Skinny was lucky enough to have The Thomas Gals do a "Girls Getaway Weekend" to Portland, Oregon and the Willamette Wine Valley (more on that next week!) The claims of Portlandia are true "The Dream of the 90's is Still Alive in Portland," as this city is full of eccentricity and weirdness (redundant I know, but this city definitely contains both!). Stumptown might be Oregon's largest city, but it has a small-town feel with a rainbow of sparkly...
March 1, 2018 – March is National Kidney Month, which is a month-long, awareness-raising grassroots effort to spread the word across the country about the importance of kidney health. An East Coast transplant family knows all too well the life-saving difference a healthy kidney can make. The Hoover family of Redding, Connecticut, assumed the role of transplant family with absolutely no warning. Theirs is the type of story that strikes fear in all parents' hearts. Wyatt H...

Many studies have established that, on average, people regard leaner females and males as more attractive. Despite these overall trends, individuals may have different preferences when choosing a mate. Additionally, while couples that have obesity get a double dose of obesity risk alleles for their offspring, assortative mating may play a factor in the obesity epidemic. A new study published in Obesity examined assortative mating and the mutual attraction hypothesis....

Our world has become plasticized. Products, packaging, transportation, medicine, clothing – we are surrounded by this material. As our demand grows our discarded material grows too, much of it ending up in the environment. We need to start changing our relationship with plastics, from the way we design, use, reuse, and recycle, to the way we build communities and economies around it. With previous generations failing to foresee the impending plastic pollution crisis, a new gen...
