The Number One question I’m asked is, ” How can I stay healthy on vacation?” For me, this is really all about balance, knowing what to order and when to indulge. Vacation shouldn’t be a time to stress about every little thing you eat, but it’s also not wise to throw caution to the wind. Since I just returned from… Read More

Ever since I first saw Bethenny on the first season of The Real… Read More
Week 4 of the Inner Mean Girl Cleanse was a no-brainer for me. I’m a recovering perfectionist and although agreeing with myself not to be perfect often gnaws at me, I live a fulfilling life knowing I’m working smarter and getting more of the things I love accomplished rather than working harder at being perfect.

The crust was simple to execute: Combine the mix with oil and water Mix with… Read More
Everytime I turn around, it seems there is another food festival in NYC celebrating fresh food and local farmers. The more the merrier because events like these are exactly what this city needs to raise awareness for sustainability. My boyfriend scouted today’s event, The 1st Annual Back to Basis Good Food Festival in Gansevoort Plaza co-hosted by Basis and the… Read More
