VitaClay Saves Dinner

[January 4]

I know I haven’t been posting enough about food and vegan goodies recently, but I promise I’ve been cooking!  It’s so hard to grab a moment in front of the computer to think and write, let alone prepare dinner for the family.  And this is the most important time to make sure we are all [...]

Lions and Tigers and Supplements, Oh My

[January 3]

Just wanted to take a second to mention supplements.  So many of you and others have been asking me about them recently, so I thought I’d post something here on them.  I believe everyone (yes EVERYONE) should at least be taking a multi-vitamin and mineral, a dha/epa supplement, a vitamin d, and a probiotic.  Daily. [...]

Yay! I’m AADP Certified

[November 17]

I just today received my certification for the AADP (American Association of Drugless Practitioners) and I’m totally psyched to officially be participating in the world of holistic health and healing.  Fighting the good fight;) For those of you who haven’t, check out my holistic health coaching site here.  And for anyone interested in enlisting my [...]

Juicy Juicness at Home!

[August 24]

So, after talking about it for like a good year or two, we decided to purchase a juicer this week and let me tell you: it was totally worth it!!!  We’ve already used it a few times since purchasing it on Monday and we’re loving the results! After a bunch of research and figuring out [...]

Holistic Health Counseling Site Up!

[June 30]

Sorry it’s been so damn quiet around here recently.  I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with my to do list.  I seem to keep knocking things off, yet somehow it’s growing at a rate that feels exponential.  I have to admit, I bring it on myself (nesting has kicked in and I’ve been reorganizing all our [...]

I Just Saw This on The Kind Life!

[May 20]

I was checking my daily blogs this morning and came across the picture above on the kind life and was like: no way!  That’s my old friend Liz from elementary school! You can read the article here for yourself.  Maybe It’ll inspire some of you or help you inspire others! It’s so good to see [...]

Coconut Water Wellness

[February 16]

Last week I mentioned seeing a new doctor and some of the immune boosting tricks he gave me like using the neti pot daily.  Another daily regimen I’ve picked up that I’m loving is daily (or often at times bi-daily) coconut water drinking. It’s really easy to get dehydrated with not much more than your [...]

Oprah and 378 Staffers Go Vegan: The One Week Challenge

[February 4]

Oprah has notoriously been pro-vegan although she is not.  She has challenged the meat industry with the Mad Cowboy and participated in a 21-day vegan cleanse in 2008 with the help of Tal Ronnen (vegan chef extraordinaire) and Kathy Freston.  And now, along with her entire staff, she’s doing a vegan 1-week challenge to show [...]

Lemon-Aid

[December 25]

The Skinny Bitches recommend a drink comprised of water, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and agave as a morning tonic.  I was in the habit of drinking it on a regular basis upon waking up for a long while until, like so many other good habits, I fell out of it for some (probably silly) reason. [...]

Guest Post: Maddie Starkey: VEGAN awesomeness is the best kind of awesomeness

[December 16]

Because I’m buried under boxes, Maddie has been kind enough to do my work for me today;) Here’s another brilliant post from one of my favorite friends: Since I last wrote I’ve made a concerted effort to kick my coffee habit. I understand (and also feel) the seriously negative effect it has on my body [...]
