Health: new Kinect & Wii games, more health apps, healthy food trucks, finally trying CrossFit, running in barefoot shoes that don’t separate our toes, and finding out what can make a cupcake, cakepop or donut healthy! Plus, all the new recipes from our health contributor,? Kayla!

    2012 will be the year of TV shows about indie culture: MTV’s “I Just Want My Pants Back” and IFC’s “Portlandia”. Suburban teens will discover indie culture as an alternative to hip hop. Good bye Compton and Oaktown. Hello Greenpoint Avenue and Valencia Street
