Last Friday was a crazy day in NYC. Hurricane Irene was on the way and all the New Yorkers were zipping around town picking up water, food, beer, and any hurricane “essential” items they needed. I made a big grocery trip to Whole Foods but also made some time to swing by the Babycakes vegan [...]

My favorite healthy chocolate company, Gnosis Chocolate, recently opened up a pop-up shoppe here in NYC. The pop-up store on East 23rd Street is nestled inside Organique, an organic take-out restaurant. I knew I wanted to check out the shoppe and show the Gnosis team my support because there’s no telling how long they’ll be [...]

When I was little my Mom used to make tomato sandwiches in the summertime when the tomatoes were really red and ripe. We always ate them with plain mayo, salt, pepper, and fresh bread. It was a simple sandwich but something I always loved and looked forward to. I just had my 28th birthday, and [...]

The luncheon took place at Nio’s, a chic restaurant and wine bar nestled inside The Muse Hotel on 46th Street. Joy was gracious and beautiful, [...]

I’ve been a fan of Metromint waters for years. Metromint is unsweetened, purified water and real mint. I tried it one day when I saw it one the shelves of my local health food store back in Florida. My stomach was a bit upset and I thought something minty would make it feel better. Turns [...]

Some raw food diets include raw dairy, meats, and fish, but [...]

For my last day of the Raw Food blogathon, I made the trek over to Caravan of Dreams in the East Village. This organic/vegan restaurant features lots of raw food fare (almost half of the menu is raw), and I’ve been meaning to check out this place forever. I didn’t have time to stick around, [...]

I’m a bit late posting for Day 6, but better late than never! The weekends always fly right by. For breakfast I swapped out my usual scoop of granola for some Vanilla Crispies I bought from One Lucky Duck on Friday. They are delicious to eat as a breakfast cereal and are made from buckwheat, [...]

Day 5 already? Whoa, this week flew by. The weather’s been very hot, so I’ve been happily eating and drinking all the raw foods this week. It just made me feel refreshed, hydrated, and full of energy. This morning I cleaned out my refrigerator and juiced a fresh batch of green juice with whatever I [...]

Thursdays are my busiest day of the week, but I’m hanging in there with lots of sweet treats! At lunch I swung by my favorite health food store on the Upper West Side called The Health Nuts. They have tons of specialty items (like my favorite frozen young coconut meat), a huge selection of supplements, [...]
