Summer is here and that means outdoor Farmer’s Market and the 2010 World Cup! My weekend was jam-packed with both. David returned from a week-long business trip to South America early Saturday morning so after breakfast, we headed over to the Tribeca GreenMarket. Few things make me happier than strolling fruit and vegetable stands for local, seasonal fare. We picked… Read More
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I LOVE smoothies – especially in the heat of Summer! Satisfying and filling, they are my go-to, never-fail breakfast and snack of choice. As long as they are they aren’t of the Jamba Juice/sugary, pre-made mix variety, smoothies are nourishing, convenient and fun to make. After relying on green smoothies for… Read More
It seems like I’m always on another “diet” these days which is ironic for a health and wellness coach who doesn’t believe in diets. This time, I’ve found myself on a the Candida Diet and while the other cleanses I’ve blogged about have been by choice and for the sake of research, this particular “diet”, or way of eating, is… Read More
If Day 1 was difficult, Day 3 was my most umcomfortable day on the cleanse. It didn’t help that work chose Day 3 to order in ‘witchcraft sandwiches and Magnolia Bakery cupcakes. But more than that, I had taken an herbal laxative on Night 2 (in lieu of the suggested colonic recommended on a cleanse) which caused terrible stomach cramping…. Read More
Day 2 of the lovely spring cleanse has come and gone and it seems it took the spring weather with it! I mentioned in my Day 1 post that I felt hungry all day.

Thanks to all who attended Kiss Your Sugar Cravings Goodbye at Lululemon Soho! The workshop was so much fun! To be notified about my future events, email me at marissa@mwahonline.com. MWAH!
I totally OD’d on chocolate last night. As a health and wellness coach, that’s not at the top of my list of recommendations. But this wasn’t any old chocolate. This was organic, raw, vegan, sugar-and-gluten-free chocolate. I never thought so many of my favorite qualities could be combined into one food item — especially chocolate! At the Institute for Integrative… Read More
Last night I attended the launch party for Be Well with Arielle’s new line of JeWellry. Today I’m rockin’ my brand new i love me ring. I don’t know if it’s Arielle’s eye for design and creativity, knowledge of holistic health and wellness or sparkling radiance (inside and out) that make these pieces must-haves but once adorned in her designs,… Read More
There comes a time in every girl’s life when she has to bid adieu to her single-girl abode and start a new chapter in the castle of coupledom. For this reason, November has been a bittersweet month for me. This past weekend, I said goodbye to what my boyfriend affectionately refers to as my “boudoir,”Apartment 2H, and hello to my… Read More
