When it comes to kicking unhealthy eating habits to the curb, going on a detox from sugar is the one I hear about the most. It seems like people are always trying to give up sugar. The reason it’s so tough to give it up is because it’s super addictive! Sugar can lead to all [...]

I spend so much time trying to come up with new, jazzy recipes that sometimes I neglect posting about my old favorites. The ones that I barely think about before making because they’re just so simple. This salad is one of those cozy favorites. When I was working at an office job, there was this [...]

A couple of years ago, I was working at Everyday Health. My office was in DUMBO, Brooklyn at the time (memories!). There was a really cool bookstore right underneath the office, and every day when I went out for my lunch break I would take a peek into the window. The same book caught my [...]

The Integrative Nutrition 12 Steps

The thing I loved most about attending the Institute for Integrative Nutrition is that they have such a well-rounded, no-nonsense approach when it comes to being healthy. When I graduated from the program, I felt so much more relaxed about what it meant to be healthy. I realized it doesn’t have to be one specific/strict [...]

Thumbnail image for Best & Worst Foods For PMS

LADIES! I know this may be an uncomfortable subject, but let’s face it – it’s a monthly fact for most of us, and it’s not always pleasant. Since our monthly menstrual cycle closely mirrors the cycles of the moon, I like to call it “moon time.” (In 8th grade, my friends and I used to [...]

Whoa! I’m a sucker for delicious treats that contain no dairy or sugar. Especially chocolately ones. When I saw this recipe in Healthy Cooking Camp, I knew I had to make it. Robyn assured me that I would, in fact, flip out when I made them. So today I decided to try, especially since it’s [...]

I’m a sauce person. Always have been. In my opinion, a great sauce can totally bring a meal to life. When I come across a great sauce at a restaurant, I always try to re-create it. (One of my all-time favorites? This cilantro garlic sauce). Last night, I was having dinner at Souen last night [...]

“Hell or glory, I don’t want anything in between.” {fall out boy} Oh, all or nothing mindset…you’ve made me feel, at times, both fiercely motivated and hopelessly paralyzed.
