High Tea, proper Fish & Chips (with mushy peas) and a British gentleman are a few of my favorite things, so when our weekend plans included a birthday brunch for a friend at the British-inspired West Village cafe,Β Whitehall NYC Kitchen + Bar, I was happy to oblige. The menu blends classic and modern British fare from fry ups to… Read More
I would imagine that if an avocado were to incarnate it would probably look like this. David “Avocado” Wolfe is to IIN students and graduates what Justin Bieber is to teenage girls. Totally crush-worthy. And for good reason. His spirit and enthusiasm about raw superfoods is enough to make you want to forage your own. His motto: “When you’re green… Read More
I have 2 confessions to make: 1. I have always loved sugar. 2. One day, a few weeks ago, I deleted all of the HUNDREDS of un-read emails in my inbox (aside from client emails, of course) Oh, and one more, thing, I’m guest blogging today over at Fit Chick In the City about the Health and Happiness Summit with… Read More
I’m back from Long Beach and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s Mega Conference. It was so hard to leave this. But I got to come back to this. So no complaints there! The question of the day: Is bread the devil? It depends on who you ask: Mark Sisson or Paul Pitchford. Mark Sisson I’m usually not a big advocate… Read More
I used to spend my weekends at the bar giving my phone number to cute guys, drowning my sorrow-of-the-moment in lots of cocktails and the resulting munchies in late-night pizza.

One of my favorite ways to nourish myself is with raw foods and fresh-pressed juices and from the moment I first tasted Organic Avenue’s Green Lemonade, it was love at first sip. Founder Denise Mari just makes wellness look good. She’s a fierce entrepreneur and I’m inspired by the empire she has built on her own personal values that a… Read More
If New Yorkers are flocking to the southern tip of Manhattan on a cold and windy Saturday night, there has to be something worth going for: a can’t-miss sample sale, a celeb appearance or perhaps to check out Danny Meyer’s latest eatery, North End Grill. On any given weeknight in my quiet and cozy TriBeCa neighborhood, most of the popular… Read More
I used to be sick all the time. I was seriously that girl who got a cold that wouldn’t go away and then when it finally did, two weeks later I’d be wiped out in bed with a case of the flu or something like it. No fun. Illness is now very rare for me and when I do get… Read More
Since I landed in New York City almost eight years ago, I’ve been volunteering with the New York Junior League (NYJL). Volunteering has always been a big part of my life and I love that the NYJL not only offers an opportunity to volunteer on a committee of my choosing but that I have had the opportunity to enhance my… Read More
