dee is one of the rising stars in baseball, and already one of the most exciting players in baseball due to his incredible speed…not to mention, his great taste. showing his true (blue) colors, dee confesses: “i love snacking, and my favorite flavor of popchips is probably original.”
dee tells us he’s, “thrilled to join these other great players in the popchips game changers program. los angeles is a great city, and i’m looking forward to the opportunity to support one of these great charities.”
just because you’re not on the field doesn’t mean you can’t change the game. we’ve teamed up with denver wide receiver, eric decker, to spend a day with the community and give back to those hungry for a change.
“denver is a city loved by many, and i am one of them. i am so happy to be part of popchips’ game changers program as it will give me the opportunity to give back to the mile high city and hang out with my fans.”
so join us and eric decker to help give back to the denver community by submitting your ideas here by april 30.

bunnies are making even more babies, birds are tweeting their songs so loudly that they are waking you up in the morning, and flowers are blooming with such fervor that they are seemingly spitting their sneeze-provoking pollen everywhere! so why are you in such a bummer mood?
it’s time to edit your mood, boost your ego, and put a smile on your face! not so easy and turning that frown upside down? here are a few tricks to help:
ego: power panties
dudes have power ties, and chicks have power panties! let me explain… according to feng shui belief, the color red help to cup confidence, ego, and luck in all areas of life- including business. but you can’t always wear a glaring red suit to a meeting with a room full of muckety mucks. so instead i say wear red panties. yes, power panties! you’ll have the power of feng shui (plus that secret “i have on some seriously sexy panties on” smile).
get happy: vitamin d
i talked to a holistic practitioner who told me that i need to lay outside naked for 20 minutes- 10 on my back, and 10 on my stomach- so that the sun’s vitamin d can soak through my skin. because i don’t have a private backyard and i’m pretty sure that public nudity along a busy street is illegal in los angeles (or pretty much anywhere for that matter), i choose foods and supplements to up my d. what’s so great about it? d has been shown to help improve the mood, making you happy, fighting off seasonal depression, plus assist with both sleep and weight loss. sign me up!!! but here’s the kicker: you get d from the sun and from some, but only some foods. not that many foods are naturally stuffed with the stuff (though lots are fortified with it). a few d-rich foods include:
eggs
mushrooms
salmon
herring
tuna
sardines
get happy: popchips-spiked skinny tuna lettuce wraps recipe:
some people like to make tuna sandwiches, but i’m not so big on bread, so instead i choose lettuce wraps. the extra necessary oomph comes in the flavor-packed form of a crunch – sour cream & onion popchips. the onions and sour cream pair perfectly with the tuna. it’s a flavor and texture explosion in my mouth- which is always a good and happy-making thing.
why laurel pops: i’m laurel house, a fit lifestyle author, personal trainer, and the “quickiechick.” no, not the late night booty call kind of quickie. my “quickies” are all about making the most out of every moment- whether it’s a saddlebag-burning “quickie workout in bed,” a metabolism-boosting “bites with benefits” meal, or how to get a $150 spa-quality skin peel out of a $1 tomato and lemon at-home refrigerator facial. my youtube videos have received over 7 million views and now you can get even more quickie tips in my new book “quickiechick’s cheat sheet to life, love, food, fitness, fashion and finance on a less than fabulous budget” (st. martin’s, may 2012).
pop culture and dance go hand in hand, er, no pun intended. and just as i’m a fan of really good dancing, i’m equally a fan of really bad dancing. lucky for me, both are abundant on youtube’s dance showdown, a highly entertaining web series pairing youtube’s biggest stars with professional dancers in a good old-fashioned dance off. the youtube personalities step way out of their comfort zones, are matched up with some of the best professional dancers in the biz, and hilarity ensues. and by hilarity, i mean some really bad dancing.
but there’s also some contestants who are killing it…like whatsupelle!
a self-proclaimed dancing and editing nerd, who, along with her two clones, makes youtube videos that put most commercial videos to shame. elle is real, funny, mega-talented, has great taste, and she’s a new mom to boot! (is there anything she can’t do?)
i think she’s got the potential to take this whole competition, but she needs you! so help this hot mama out and vote once a day through wed. april 25th!

“it’s a honor to be part of the popchips game changers program along with all these great players. i’ve always believed that it’s important to give back to my local community, whether it’s breast cancer awareness or an anti-trash message, and i’m looking forward to the next opportunity.”
