At this stage of my life, it's important for both my health and emotional well-being that I have snacks on me at all times. In fact, it's an ususual day that I can be found without a stash of nuts or dried fruits in my tote at the very least. So, when graze hit my radar, my interest was piqued. Currently invite-only, graze is a snack-delivery service, offering up four single-serve, healthy snacks for just $5/week delivered.

But graze snacks aren't just healthy - they're also quite delicious. After becoming a member, you can view available snacks on site and rate those that pique your interest, which means that each box is tailored to suit your tastes, be they savory or sweet. My favorites to date have been the very nori-ish (a mix of Japanese seaweed crackers ringing in at 59 calories) and the Jaffa Cake (which included orange-infused raisins, hazelnuts and dark chocolate buttons at about 218 calories).

If you'd like to learn more about graze, explore their site here. For an invitation to join (you'll get your first box free and I'll get a $1 credit), email me at eye4style (at) gmail (dot) com - I have six codes available!

UPDATE: ALL INVITE CODES HAVE BEEN CLAIMED, SORRY GUYS!

I'm an irresponsible worker-outer, if there can be such a thing. I often hit my weekend classes at best tired, at worst hungover, and almost definitely hungry. So, when I leave class, I'm desperate for a delicious brunch, but at the same time, hoping not to undo all of the goodness experienced in a class like Bar Method (my workout du jour today, for example.)

Solution: Chobani's GENIUS (a word I do not use lightly) Yogurt Bar. Conveniently located at Prince and West Broadway, the Chobani Yogurt Bar takes the brand's already-delicious and healthy Greek yogurt add adds fresh toppings to create what is essentially my dream snack. Seen above is one of my favorites - the Peanut Butter & Jelly - which includes not only the obvious ingredients, but also fresh sliced grapes and half peanuts. Another that I love is the Cucumber & Olive Oil, which, with it's fresh sea salt, perfectly satisfies my salty cravings. Yum! 

It's almost impossible to miss with a flavor at Chobani, but if you're in the market for experimentation, be sure to try the newest concoction, which is Smoked Salmon & Dill - yogurt topped with cold smoked Atlantic salmon, fresh dill, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and a splash of lemon juice, complete with a side of crunchy “everything” bagel chips for dipping.

If there's one thing I'm terrible at (and trust me, there are actually several things I'm terrible at), it's COOKING. It just...seems like so much WORK, you guys. Particularly living in a city like New York, where cheap yet DELICIOUS food is bountiful. I mean, there's the whole recipe sourcing, hunting and gathering for ingredients, getting said ingredients home and then actually...cooking. I'm exhausted just thinking about it, if we're being completely honest. That said, eating out every night is an untenable pace even for me, so when Tamar at Fashion Binge (who's equally uninclined to cooking) clued me into Blue Apron, I had to give it a go.

This new delivery service, available in the Northeastern US, offers subscribers ALL of the raw ingredients (see above - that's how perfectly packaged and labeled even spices are) they need to produce 3 meals for the week, in exactly the right portions (you opt in to a vegetarian menu or meat/fish, as well as the number of people you'll be cooking for - 2, 4 or 6).  Each meal is designed to be well-balanced, healthy and delicious. And rest assured, guys, it's IDIOT PROOF, as each delivery includes full-color recipe cards and step-by-step instructions with PHOTOS!

Last night, I made myself a Moroccan Beef Tagine with dates and honey, and while it needed a little salt and pepper, it was delicious and took even kitchen-phobic me just under 30 minutes to make.

If you're as helpless as I am, check out Blue Apron online - deliveries begin at just $59.94/week or $9.99 per person/each meal.

Social curation and discovery platform The Fancy recently launched their very own subscription service - The Fancy Box. Selling for just $30 (+$7.95 shipping), The Fancy Box promises a selection of goodies curated by the community, and valued at over $60. Since only the most stylish and design-centric discoveries tend to wind up Fancied most, my interest was piqued, and I caved on the latest edition. Here's what's inside:

1. Pop Phone Handset, $30 (I have a friend or two obsessed with these for more mobile-friendly conference calls)
2. Snowglobe Salt & Pepper Shakers, $15
3. Pixel Clear Lens Glasses, $15 (actual functionality seems unlikely)
4. China Glaze Nail Polish in Sparkling Silver, $15
5. Sparq Stones, $25 (to be used in place of ice in whiskey, iced coffee, etc.)
6. F in Exams, $15 (humor book)
7. Mustache Bandages, $15 (perfect for Movember!)

As you can see, that's a great value at $130, however as cool as most of these goodies are, I'd likely only have purchases the Sparq Stones if left to my own devices. 

I'm curious - if you've received a prior Fancy Box or the current edition, how did yours compare?

Like so many other people who live their lives on the Internet, GIF blogs have become one of my recent obsessions, along with K-pop music videos. In case you feel the need to lose hours of your day this fine Friday, I've compiled a handy-dandy list of GIF blogs that I read on a daily basis. If you've got any to add, share in the comments!

Humor, Dating Woes, Overal Truthiness:

• What Should We Call Me?
• #MyFriendsAreMarried (for singles only)
• My Life Through Kristen Wiig 
• Casual New York (for New Yorkers only)
• When in LA (for LA peeps only)
• NYC Gays (for friends and family only)

Media-Insidery Nonsense/Trade-Specific:

• 99 Problems But a Pitch Ain't One (PR)
• This Advertising Life (Uh...advertising)
• What Happens in Media Planning (You've got this, right?)
• Life in Big Law (a must for law students and lawyers alike)

And lastly, in case you need a glimpse into the thought process of your favorite blogger:

• Blogger Bitches

I've been feeling a little...stagnant lately, which is probably a conversation for another day. BUT, one of the simplest ways to mix things up is to integrate a new workout class in my rotation - the most recent being Refine Method, founded by former New York City Ballet dancer and fitness pro Brynn Jinnet. With chic, comfortable studios uptown and down (I visited the new Union Square location, which boasts a gorgeous skylight), Refine Method is kind of like what I'd imagine would happen if a Boot Camp mated with a Pilates class...only maybe worse/better. More officially, it's defined as circuit-style Metabolic Resistance Training, which uses a proprietary pulley system and kettlebells in lieu of free weights. You complete each circuit at least twice, with bursts of high-energy cardio interspersed throughout the class.

Pros: Extraordinarily challenging, if that's a pro (it is, it is!) Unlike many boutique fitness studios, Refine Method offers up a strong mix of strengthening exercises, balance work and cardio. Also - for a limited time, you can book a free introductory class.

Cons: Things move quickly, and with intensity at Refine Method, so expect sweat and lots of it. Also, those kettlebells are not kind. I have not lifted something so heavy in months, if not years.

What to Wear:

• The No Limits Tank from lululemon will make you feel like you're fully equipped for this class, even if you're not.
• Leggings, full length or capri. I sweated like an animal, and thus would even consider wearing tiny shorts like these.
• Bare feet or socks, if you're a particularly delicate flower.

To learn more, locate a studio or book online (single classes are $32, with a unique Monthly Rewards Program for those who attend class regularly), visit Refine Method online.

Sundays are truly my newfound favorite day of the week, and with good reason. Despite today's oppressive heat, I started off strong with a Mat 57 class at Physique 57 - that's their version of pilates - and then rewarded myself with a killer Bloody Mary and yum kale salad at Hundred Acres, my preferred Sunday afternoon brunch joint, located in West SoHo. If you haven't visited Hundred Acres, or sister restaurants Cookshop or Five Points, you're really missing out - all are consistently delicious! 

Next up, I hit the final day of the Keith Haring exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum - nothing like coming down to the wire, eh? I was by no means an expert in Haring prior to hitting the exhibit, but his deceptively simple, primarily black and white studies are among the most important pop art to ever come out of New York. Also, can we give the Brooklyn Museum MAJOR kudos for their seamless integration of social media and technology? I was most impressed with the QR codes leading to Wikipedia articles curated by museum experts. Follow them on Twitter for further art goodness.

Last but not least, it's not a weekend without at least a little imbibing. Raines Law Room's artfully crafted cocktails of fresh ingredients are surpassed perhaps only by the sexy, sexy atmosphere. I love the low tin ceilings, velvet furniture, and, oh hey girl hey, naughty wallpaper (detail seen above!) To make a reservation (accepted on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays only), email reservations@raineslawroom.com, or simply visit 48 West 17th Street (that's between 5th and 6th Avenues) and ring the bell for entry. If there's a wait, I recommend killing time at Flatiron Lounge on West 19th - Raines is well worth the wait.

How did you spend your Sunday? Do tell.

When I heard that designer Cynthia Rowley had again collaborated with BAND-AID Brand, I got...a little excited. After all, her previous collection of designer Band-Aids was so, so adorable, I actually found myself wishing for minor mishaps. That's reasonable, right? I mean, what other bandage can also serve as a viable fashion accessory?

But I digress.

Rowley's latest play with Band-Aid is the limited edition Beach Sport Kit, which includes 20 waterproof bandage strips in various prints (the seahorse and jellyfish are particularly delightful - I love a critter), along with four packets of Neosporin, all tucked into a sleek, waterproof zip pouch. “We started out joking about what you would need a bandage for on the beach. That’s where the jellyfish and shark’s teeth prints came from.” Rowley said. The Beach Sport Kit makes PERFECT sense for the designer, as she herself is an avid surfer  - she even sells chic colorblocked wetsuits for the style-conscious surfer girl.

You'll clearly want one of these genius little kits for your beach tote, so snag the Cynthia Rowley BAND-AID Beach Sport Kit online for $6.99 at Drugstore.com.

Sundays are a favorite day for me, as after a late morning workout, I'm generally free as a bird. Today, I had the pleasure of celebrating Ms. Kristin Booker of Fashion Style Beauty's birthday with a delicious brunch at Back Forty, a farm-to-table specialty restaurant with a GORGEOUS cocktail list and a cool outdoor patio in New York's East Village. We finished off birthday festivities with an order of today's special doughnut (above) - a Mint Julep glazed beauty. Menus and more on Back Forty here.

Before cruising to brunch, I took a quick swing down to lower SoHo to visit the CHANEL's Little Black Jacket Exhibition, which opened last week to a star-studded reception, including guests Kanye West, Carine Roitfeld and the Kaiser himself, Karl Lagerfeld. I guess my invitation got lost in the mail. Regardless, the exhibit features snaps of style icons and friends of the House of Chanel by Lagerfeld himself (he's actually a talented photog.) My favorite images were of Vanessa Paradis, Sarah Jessica Parker and a very pregnant Charlotte Gainsbourg, and luckily two of the three (Chanel ambassador Paradis and SJP) are available as free commerative posters (along with one of Elle Fanning.) Visit the exhibit at at 18 Mercer Street, between Grand and Canal. It's open from 12-7pm daily, and closes in New York on Friday, June 15.

Last but not least, I spent the latter half of the afternoon shopping the East Village, and stumbled upon a striking fragrance exhibition at Odin. The men's boutique carries an amazing assortment of contemporary and designer gear for gents, and I firmly believe that my future husband is likely to shop here. But I digress. Along with clothing, shoes and accessories, Odin boast a gorgeous collection of unisex scents and candles, and they're merchandised in a pop up gallery setting, created in collaboration with Snarkitecture for a limited time only (through mid-June.) Stop by for a sniff at 330 East 11th Street, between 1st and 2nd Avenues, from 12-7pm daily.

And now, it's all about Sunday night TV, peeps. if you're a True Blood, Mad Men or Girls fan, be sure to follow @eye4style on Twitter for real-time commentary on tonight's episodes!
