I came down with a cold right after my birthday. Ugh! I guess that’s what I get for staying out late and partying all week! I finally started feeling better last night, so I took a stroll over to the health food store and bought a bunch of organic veggies. I had been living off [...]

I loved how fresh, summery, and crunchy it was. Plus it was super healthy and light. I re-created my own carrot salad today and used some [...]

I am such a believer in the healing power of foods, and I found the following video fascinating. William Li, head of the Angiogenic Foundation, recently spoke for TED.com.

Happy Earth Day everyone! To celebrate this day, I recommend going meatless for the day and/or eating some organic fruits and vegetables. It’s a quick and easy way to reduce your impact on Planet Earth. As for me, I’ve been on a vegan diet for this whole week. It’s a way to clean out my [...]
