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. In the morning I’d wake up regretting the pizza and nursing the hangover with more junk food wondering if the guy who now had my phone number would ever call…. Read More
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.

I’ve been feeling lately like certain parts of my apartment were falling victim to my habit of accumulating. So… Read More
In less than a week I will have touched down in sunny Southern California to attend theΒ Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s Mega Conference. I’ve been selected as a VIP Blogger for the event so I’ll be blogging live all weekend. But that’s not the only reason I’m excited for this can’t-miss event. Here’s what’s also getting my green juice flowing:… Read More
One of my first memories of Sharon Gannon, co-founder of the Jivamukti Yoga School and Method, was in a Thursday night meditation class at the Union Square studio almost six years ago. I had never meditated before and although intimidated, I felt guided to “learn how.” I struggled to sit still and my feet fell asleep but Sharon’s calm and… Read More
