Summer Ice Pops Recipe

  This post is sponsored by Evolution Fresh.  The first weekend of Summer came and went and left me with a nasty cold - my first in at least 6 months! One of the ways I keep my immune system strong and re-build it when it takes a hit is by getting a daily dose - or three - of greens. You can never eat too many greens and I make it a habit to have them three times a day: cooked … [Read more...]

How to Know What to Eat and When

  Planning for meals, buying ingredients and simply making time to eat a meal: it's hard enough to feed ourselves as adults without having to figure out what to eat and when. Besides, as humans we tend to be creatures of habit. We stick with what we know.  What if you could count on your intuition to guide when and how you eat?  It sounds a little abstract, maybe even … [Read more...]

Our Wedding in Mexico (Part 1)

How do you put the best day -- weekend -- of your life into words? I'm not sure I can do ur wedding in Mexico justice.  I started to write a full wedding recap in one post, but there was just too much so I decided to split it up into short posts, two maybe three. We'll see how it goes. I realize that not everyone cares about my wedding so if you're normally here for the health and wellness … [Read more...]

What Is a Smoothie Bowl?

We're slowly getting over our jet lag and coming down from the best week of our lives in Mexico, our wedding week. My Rx for jet lag: plenty of sleep, cutting back on workouts, eating super healthy, nixing the alcohol- and of course, throwing in a smoothie bowl here and there. After our six mile race in Central Park on Saturday, I was beat and hungry. I mixed up a quick smoothie bowl -- my … [Read more...]

Craving Change | Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant
