Taste Casting

So, if you're looking to score a free meal- this is by far the easiest way to do it. Simply join TasteCasting (free to join)- a new way to rate and review restaurants. Basically, Taste Casting is comprised of a group of testers who are invited to complimentary tastings at local restaurants. In return, Taste Casting asks the testers to utilize their social media outlets to talk about their experience. I mean, this is a no brainer.

30kMills went to a tasting at Scottys Brewhouse downtown- and we literally tasted everything on the menu. We fell in love with some food items that we normally wouldn't order (burger + peanut butter?)- and that, is the beauty behind Taste Casting. This is such a great outlet to branch out and try something new- free of charge!

The next event is at Donato's- (W. 86th Street) on September 28. They want Taste Casters to try their new hand tossed pizzas. Pizza party on a Monday night- oh yeah, you'll for sure find 30kMills there-- without a doubt.

Check out the Taste Casting website- they now have tastings in over 23 cities! Get out there and taste something new.

If you haven't tried hot yoga or pilates yet...- you've got to go. 3okMillionaires recently discovered Invoke studio. Located on Ft.Wayne street in downtown Indy, this studio offers an unbelievably dynamic schedule packed with Vinyasa Yoga (a flowing yoga that ties movement with breath), Mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates (IM=X) classes.

Invoke has been ranked #1 in City Search in both the yoga and pilates categories (rightfully so). This is definitely a studio you want to try out. Bursting with energy and good vibes, we highly recommend checking it out for yourself.

Cas, Marge, Amy and myself ventured to Invoke to try the HOT YOGA. (FIRST CLASS IS FREE!!) We all came prepared in our spandex, which is definitely a must. A big bottle of water and a towel are necessities to surviving a hot yoga class. You can purchase water ($1) if you forget to bring your own .. and you can borrow a clean towel for (.50). Invoke does have yoga mats you can borrow for free but, I would highly recommend bringing your own- as you will be sweating ...allll over it.

We really enjoyed sweating out our toxins while awkwardly laying in what the yogi's call the "dolphin pose." Hot vinyasa yoga burns about 500-600 calories an hour, depending on your body type and intensity. The room is all sorts of hot and humid so - don't make any plans following this class.

The best things about Invoke I've discovered so far:

1. community yoga ($5) ...talk about a bargain!!

2. reserve a spot ahead of time online (awesome!)

3. schedule is online and kept up to date

4. First saturday of the month- a free class is offered for beginners

5. innovative and trendy classes/ideas (i.e. a 2 hour vinyasa class with a DJ spinnin'hits in the background)

You'll for sure leave engergized and ready to change the world.

Map My Run

So for all of you avid runners out there...here is a free tool to make running ...cooler. At Map My Run, you can see how far you're running, log your time when you're done and the calculator will estimate the number should have burned. There is even a tool to log and store all of your runs. Set up challenges and goals for yourself as well!

This site is definitely worth checking out. The best part is- the site is free!
