Kale Chips
This is my yummy kale chip recipe – great for kale lovers and also those who say they don’t even like kale. These are better than any chip you can buy in a store…I promise! Once you eat one, you will eat the entire plate – make a lot of you plan on sharing! Preparation: Preheat [...]
The Breakfast Experiment
For one of my homework assignments in IIN (more details about my enrollment in The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in my bio), I was asked to evaluate what I eat for breakfast and see how my energy is affected. Now, remember, we are all different, so what works for me, may be the exact opposite [...]
When life gives you lemons, sip away!
Thanks to my friend, and successful holistic health counselor, Alexi, I have learned a lot about lemons. In the past, I’ve used them to begin my morning when doing a juice cleanse or detox, but more recently I’ve been incorporating warm lemon water into my everyday routine! From stomach problems to weight loss, these little [...]
I’m a Personal Trainer at Equinox!
My fitness goals are all coming together! Professionally, that is. I moved to NYC in January (yes, I seriously have failed at keeping up this blog) and six days later, I got a job at Equinox (The old Printing House on Leroy and Hudson) as a Personal Trainer. Yay! The only company I wanted to [...]

My problem with this concept is that each day presents a possibility to make tomorrow better, so we do we always wait until January 1st to make these life [...]
Fitness Friday: Vegas, Baby

Yes, I have 8 family members who reside in Sin City and they seem to lead pretty normal [...]
My First 5K
The wind in my hair, the soft patter of my little feet, the adrenaline moving through my bloodstream, the slow in and out of my breath—I’m running. But, friends, I’m not a runner. Not only do I have a foot injury that never healed from college, in general it’s a bit too rough on my [...]
Inspirational Musings: Becoming a Personal Trainer
Inspiration comes in many forms: what is inspiring to one person (their kids or significant other) can be completely different from someone else (their career or even their pet), and so on. A while ago, I was complaining to my girlfriend about what I want to do long term and she said, “Let’s start with [...]
Thailand / Spring Cleaning Detox
Three words: food, beer and food. Or maybe that’s two. Anyway, after a vacation in Thailand with two of my favorite people (Jodi and Mike), I decided that my body needed a rest. I have done cleanses in the past, but this time I actually really enjoyed it. And Jodi joined me, so we cooked [...]
