Spice It Up

[March 31]

While I love reading recipes to get ideas, learn about flavor combinations, figure out quantities, I rarely follow them.  Don’t get me wrong, I have shelves of cookbooks in my apartment, but I use them more for reference and inspiration.  In the morning, while planning my day, if I can’t figure out what I’m in [...]

New Products on Passover

[March 30]

Passover, like most of the Jewish holidays, means family time more than anything for me.  While I spend a ton of time with my family, there’s something special in the air on the holidays that makes me want to be with family all day long. So, first thing yesterday morning, Avital and I set out [...]

Passover in Park Slope

[March 29]

So we’re starting to settle in to our new apartment and neighborhood and the more I’m here, the more I love it here! Saturday night my parents came in to see the apartment and have some dinner.  We were entirely overwhelmed by the bajillion boxes in our apartment screaming at us to be unpacked and [...]

What Cooking Does for Me

[March 26]

After three long days of packing and moving and an apartment full of boxes to unpack, it feels great to know that I can leave that all behind for the evening to come to my parents’ house for a respite from the craziness.  It’s so comforting to know that I can show up any time [...]

Water Water Everywhere Yet Not a Drop to Drink

[March 24]

On the plane home from Jamaica we saw yet another documentary on water wars and our current crisis.  It got me thinking… Only 3% of the Earth’s water is freshwater.  This is something we Americans too often take for granted.  Only 20% of the world’s population has access to running water!  Around a billion (yes [...]

Moving Day

[March 23]

We just got back from Jamaica late last night and I’m already back in the thick of things at home.  We’re moving at the end of this week from the Village here in Manhattan to Brooklyn’s Park Slope. I’m so so sooooooo excited to move, but I can’t help but take pause and think about [...]

Vegan on Vaca

[March 22]

There is certainly an art to maintaining a vegan diet while traveling.  It takes a bit of forethought, planning, and execution, but it is really not all that difficult and absolutely worth the work in the end. Feeling good on vacation is my (and I assume your) number one goal!  Regardless of what kind of [...]

Yoga Life

[March 19]

One of the best perks here at the Rock House Hotel is the 8a yoga offered by the pool (overlooking the ocean) every morning.  It’s so beautiful looking out onto the water and it definitely makes those utkatasanas much easier to stay in just a bit longer;). I do my best to get a little [...]

The Rock House Hotel = Paradise

[March 18]

So yesterday (after launching Love Life and Lollipops that is) my husband, Richie, and I embarked on our first solo vacation since our honeymoon!  We arrived here in Negril, Jamaica late yesterday afternoon and are still ooing and aahing about how absolutely amazing this place is. We were lucky enough to be able to snag [...]
