On one of the coldest days in NYC this year, my friend Lauren and I traveled to the lower east side for brunch at a raw vegan restaurant called Quintessence. We snuggled in to a corner table by the door. Thank goodness we were seated next to a heater because we were freezing! I guess [...]

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 [...]
