It’s almost Easter, and truthfully, I don’t crave or want regular old Easter candy at all. In fact, you couldn’t pay me to eat it—because I have so many things I can make myself that taste better (to me) and don’t have all the junk and sugar in them! Besides, I’m kind of craving cheese …

In regards to feeling good, I’m one of those people who will continue to experiment until I feel the best I could possibly feel. Or till I die, whichever comes first. I didn’t realize that I felt crappy for the first 24 (or so years of my life) until I started to feel better. I …

I’ve been trying to think of a way to make cereal that doesn’t involve any grains. Or much sugar. And really, this kind of stumped me because low-sugar and no-grain cereal doesn’t sound very good (can it even be called cereal?). Today I came up with a cross between granola and cereal…and it was chocolate …
I love it when I read a quote and it really clicks with me (or when it makes something really clear that I should have been aware of already). Similar to last week, I’ve been finding a theme in my work over the past few days. Being a wellness coach is an interesting job because …
This post is dedicated to my friend Petra. Because we finally got together today—went to a yoga class (Vish’s yoga, sometimes misunderstood in conversation to be Vicious Yoga), and then spent almost three hours in Starbucks reaffirming why we’re friends. Side note: I drank too much coffee today. My dinner last night with Carol was …
Today, I wellness coached all morning (it was a great morning of talking to people, by the way! Lots of awesome blood pressure readings, good health updates, and positive attitudes/conversations). Next, I came home and worked some more…and after all that, I needed a break before I go to meet another client tonight. So, naturally, …

I finally finished my elimination diet. It felt like it took for ever, and I’m pretty sure I know why. When it was time to add in nuts…I didn’t really want them. When I added a food back in, I would try to eat it three times a day, but I kept forgetting (maybe accidentally …
Last night, I attended a benefit workshop called Pursuit of Happiness with Kurt Johnsen. He’s the founder of American Power Yoga, and has done a lot of work/learning in things like energy balance, tai chi, kung fu…and even astral travel (which sounds wonderful to me!). I enjoyed the two-hour talk very much, and identified with …
Today, I got a haircut. The funny thing is that I was a total 14 year-old about it and took with me a picture of Jennifer Aniston and her “long bob” style to show the stylist. I didn’t choose it because I want to look like Jen, but I searched Pinterest for “long bob” and …
If you haven’t previously noticed, I have a penchant for trying new natural skin care ideas. Over time, I’ve uncovered some of the things that caused my skin to be less than stellar, and it’s a great feeling to have (mostly) figured things out for now. I previously posted about some of the things I …
