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 [...]

Neti Pot and Sinus Health

[February 8]

Recently I had a consultation with a new doctor.  I was looking for a functional medicine doctor as I’ve been feeling like I’ve been sick too many times this year and am just feeling a bit off.  The practice of functional medicine uses many many lab tests to analyze your nutrient levels, hormone levels, and [...]

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 [...]

Guest Post: Maddie Starkey

[January 26]

(Sorry for the late post everyone.  Maddie didn’t get enough sleep last night and was a little behind schedule this morning.  Luckily she’s graced us with another of her brilliant posts.  I’m always happy to read what’s been on her mind and know that I have a kindred spirit out there!) Sleep is a strange [...]

Beehive Salon Brooklyn

[January 6]

I just had the most Uh-mazing haircut experience! I seriously can’t remember my last haircut which leads me to believe it’s been over a year.  Yikes!  I know!  Nonetheless, new apartment, new neighborhood, called for a new haircut. While I wholeheartedly admit that I didn’t do anything drastic, my hair looks healthy, shiny, and totally [...]

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. [...]

En Route To: Florida

[December 23]

This afternoon we’re off to Florida to spend Christmas and New Years with Richie’s family.  The whole family gathers there and we spend time hanging, relaxing, winding down our year.  Since we’ve become vegan, and more importantly, heath enlightened so to speak, travel has been a bit more difficult than before. Even when we plan well we wind up feeling [...]

TGIF

[December 17]

Wow! What a long week! And as much as I’ve done to settle in to this new apartment, I can’t help but feel like there’s a million more things to do. Every time I finish organizing something I see something else I should do before I sit down. I hit a point yesterday afternoon where my [...]
