Let’s Be Friends Friday: Organic or Not?
While I like to fancy myself somewhat of a domestic/farmer/DIY goddess, the truth is that I’m not running any 1800’s house over here. Sometimes I make my own toothpaste; sometimes I buy it. Sometimes I’m picking fresh produce from my garden for a meal; most of the time I’m hitting the grocery store or the … (Read More)

Since the moment I got serious about fitness, I’ve been on a mission to find the formula for true health. I know it has a lot to do with having a good attitude – a positive approach to life. You can’t exercise a bad diet away, so eating clean, whole foods like fruits, veggies, nuts … (Read More)
Let’s Be Friends Friday: Food, Fat, Family… Fun? And WINNERS!
I’m not even going to pretend that the holidays don’t stress me out like crazy. Between explaining to my family over and over again why I’m not eating all the crazy processed fattening foods and convincing them that vegetarianism is not an eating disorder, I’m completely exhausted at holiday gatherings. Then there’s the shopping, the … (Read More)

I’m In Love With…
Shobha rosewater freshening cloths! I’ve been using these swoon-worthy scented wipes almost daily since I was introduced to them while teaching at Strala Yoga in NYC. They are perfect for after waxing/sugaring/workout/yoga class/sweaty activity. I keep them in my bag at all times, because yes, I can get stinky during a good sweat sesh. I … (Read More)
Let’s Be Friends Friday: Cheesy Motivation + My Tiny Giveaway
This has truly been the best week ever… I made huge breakthroughs in yoga, we signed contracts on our new house, and I found out the IRS owes me $373 from, like, a year ago – woo hoo! And on top of all that, it was the best YouTube week ever, too! I got to … (Read More)
Let’s Be Friends Friday: Hairy Legs & The Truth
I eat McDonald’s french fries. Sometimes I try to show off in yoga and I end up hurting myself. I hate shaving my legs. Those are three things that are completely true. The theme in yoga teacher training this week is Satya (or truth), so I’m making it the theme for LBF Friday, too. Let’s … (Read More)
