If you're a dog lover, you know the importance of giving your dog food that he or she will appreciate. Dogs can be finicky eaters, with some breeds even pickier than cats! Finding a brand that your dog will eat without getting bored is quite the challenge. You'll also want something healthy. And lastly, something that won't break the bank. My personal favorite is Beneful and I'd recommend looking into this for your pup. Owned by Purina, Beneful is one of the most popular brands in the US and with good reason. It's well priced, loved by dogs, and comes in a wide variety of flavors and formats for dogs of all ages and sizes. The best place to buy Beneful is probably at Amazon, where you can save an extra 15% if you go with their subscribe and save option. And no heavy bags to carry home from the store!

Lifestyle: ELEVATED Clothing and Le Medaillon Champagne It wasn't long ago this spring when Le Medaillon and Elevated decided to team up and bring some quality champagne into the action sports realm. Banding together with such a cool and high profile company like Le Medaillon has been a lot of fun for us as we've gotten to celebrate major wins and company triumphs, pop champagne, and really just goof off that much more. We're looking forward to further inclusion of Le Medaillon into the action sports scene and hoping that our athletes can continue to enjoy the crisp bubbles on hot summer days after riding their hearts out. Here's a little bit of the fun we've been able to have with this company, even getting a bottle into Rusty Malinoski's hands during Spring Ride '14 in Lathrop, CA for the win. As with all of the companies we work with, Cheers to a long and fruitful relationship. Pun intended.
