Tonight I went to a little blogger meet up at Whole Foods for dinner. The girls got together for one more night of fun before Sarah and I leave town for Christmas (rumor has it we are actually reindeer and run Santa’s sleigh around the world). I cannot confirm.
I carpooled with SR and got to ride in her Smart Car! Truth be told, I barely fit in it.
Truth be told #2, driving a Smart Car to Whole Foods to meet up with fellow bloggers just sounds too hipster to be cool.(image source)
Once Upon a Lime Sarah was unhappy that they only had 4 varieties of quinoa dishes tonight. Life is tough in the OC.(Heather and Pam joined us too.)
Obviously, I won the heaviest salad bar contest. But, these girls don’t know who they’re eating with if they thought they stood a chance.
Taking a pic of my food?! Apparently hipster dog does this too…(image source)
Sadly, tofu isn’t a regular menu item in Alaska and SR is not a fan.
She got one tiny piece to try it, but didn’t want to bite. We had to stare her down until she caved…
Or maybe OUAL was staring me down because taking pics in WF is not hipster acceptable. Sorry to do something so uncool in the presence of your scarf.
Victory was not ours as she thought it tasted like sponges. Yep, she eats sponges as pre-run fuel. They’re full of carbs or Carb-board if you will.
I got fruit for dessert, which is kinda very sad. Luckily, Pam brought Dove peppermint bark! Yes, it’s very good. Seasonal food #89 you must try asap.
If you want to become a hipster check out this link for a list of requirements. Here’s the Cliffs Notes on how to be a hipster:
- Wear glasses
- Become vegan
- Drink coffee (a lot)
- Shop at Urban Outfitters, tell everyone it’s from a thrift shop
- Only eat organic, but smoke
- Discover things before they’re cool (You already discovered this very uncool blog, so there’s one vote toward hipsterdom!)

Whole Foods grilled tofu with brown sauce and scallions is very good.
It is actually a bit crisp on the outside and tender on the inside….Do they make that kind in the OC?
Pam says
def. not a “hipster” but, I hope we can still be friends! 🙂
hope you have a wonderful time in FLA.!! see you in the New Year!! 🙂
Casey says
this is definitely the funniest blog post i have ever read hahaha
Elizabeth @ reads recipes runs says
Hipsters are rediculous! I live in a fairly hipster neighborhood and it drives me nuts.
Nikki @ Heels to Sneakers says
Haha love the hipster list! I live in Seattle so we have A LOT of vegan smokers who love their Starbucks!
Anna-Marie @ Beauty and the Beets says
I am very disappointed with the new Whole foods we have here in Orlando – apparently Orlando is not a very friendly vegan town even though we have some fabulous vegan restaurants- but I do love the “salad” bar there- my plate is ALWAYS the heaviest- 😀
Amber K says
Ah bummer. the only thing I do on that list is read your blog and eat organic occasionally. Not gonna be a hipster anytime soon!
Sarah @blueeyedbarbie.blogspot.com says
Smart Car!!!!! ah my mom and i flip every time we see one haha.
Angie says
Love the hipster stuff. I love when we go out in LA and pick out the hipsters. Our friends have a hipster band in LA but we refuse to go. I think they were making fun of it at first but now they like it Hate that stuff!
Katie P says
This post is to funny! Have you seen the new TV show “Two Broke Girls”? If not you should check it out, it my new favorite show of the season. Your post totally reminded me of the lead girl form the show, she makes fun of hipster all the time!
runeatrepeat says
I haven’t seen it, but remember watching a preview of it a while back and wanting to check it out!
Nina says
You are absolutely hilarious, I love reading your posts!
runeatrepeat says
Thanks Nina 🙂
Anne says
Hipster dog and the cliff notes on how to be hipster had me laughing out loud! Love it 🙂
Tia says
Hahah everytime I hear people talk about hipsters I think about that show Two broke girls, so awseome.
I NEVER understand why people who are vegetarian or vegan, run or do a crap load of yoga .. yet smoke .. that just totally eludes me.
Fancy Nancy says
Love the hipster list…driving to whole foods in a Smart car is totally on the list! You have a swanky Whole Foods!!!
SkinnyRunner says
i think there should be something about dudes getting a $150 haircut/style to look like their hair is all shaggy and never styled and they just rolled out of bed.
Katie @ Livehalffull says
Add to that list a man with a beard! That you’ve got covered! 🙂
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile says
Hahaha this entire post was hilarious. I drink a lot of coffee and take pictures, but that’s about it. Guess I’m not hipster enough!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Love the hipster list! Is that booth at WF? You have a fancy WF, ours just has boring tables.
runeatrepeat says
Yeah, our WF is super fancy!
Tami says
Ooooh! Don’t forget they have to be those squareish rim glasses. And, in my experience, the hippest hipsters have beards and wear cooler belts than me.
runeatrepeat says
Good thing I’ve been working on my beard for years…
Lauren says
Wow, that is one classy Whole Foods! Leather booths? Love it!
runeatrepeat says
Yeah, the Whole Foods in Tustin is pretty awesome 🙂
Losing Lindy says
my WF doesn’t have booths..I am feeling sort of left out
We only have wooden chairs and tables. I have to agree with SK re tofu, I am not a fan either. I will eat it in spring rolls, maybe trick her into trying those 😉
Juliane @ C'est moi à Paris says
I am vegan, drink a lot of coffee and read your blog for years. Does this count???
runeatrepeat says
Totally counts 🙂
Cinnamon @eatpraytri says
“eat organic, but smoke” classic. That pic of the dog in the scarf is hipster gold. I think you have to have a dog like that in order to be a hipster too, but you are right the scarf and the SMART car are essential.
Tasha says
I live in Portland, Oregon. Portland is only second to Brooklyn and the Mission District of San Francisco in hipster population. In the summer time knee length cut off jeans is all I see! It looks like your WF salad bar still carries marinated mushrooms. Mine stopped, and so did the one by my parent’s in Northern California. I’m so bummed!
HipsterHubbers says
I used to have a blog, but now its just too mainstream…
Sarah OUaL says
BAHAHAHAHAH no wonder y’all wanna be friends with me. My scarf bids you adieu.
Corrie Anne says
Haha. I love your hipster list. I have very hipster glasses and I know it. I’m also sexy and I know it. Just kidding. But that’s a fun workout song. I’m afraid of tofu too. The smartcar is too cute. I want a ride!!
