Breathing Exercises for When You Just Can't Even

Need something to help you chill out?  No one wants to be the girl who freaks out when the subway is down or when someone cuts the line during the Sephora lunch-hour rush.  Here are some breathing exercises that'll help you find your zen no matter what the situation. 

The Power of Manifestation

The Power of Manifestation

Ever since I read the book The Secret years ago, I've been manifesting everything and it's worked.   The book is all about the law of attraction and how what you put out into the universe, the universe will give back.  Well guess what, it truly works and here's how to create a clear vision of your goals and make them happen.  

Food Label Claims Exposed

Food Label Claims Exposed

I've never been more conscious about what I put into my body and find food labels not only to be confusing, but also misleading.  The more I learn in nutrition school, the more careful I become.  As a gluten-free, vegan (yes, my meat-loving, husband who lives for Sunday pasta wants to kill me), I've found plenty of nutritious meal options, but it's not always easy.  Whether you're like me or just like to buy "organic," I dissected some common food labels so you're really in the know and don't buy into the marketing fluff.

Fit Test: Bar Method

Bar Method opened in Hoboken, so as you can imagine I've been diligently practicing my tucks and pulses.  As someone who's taken barre classes on and off for years now all over the city, I've found that while they all share common goals, each company has their own strengths.  With Bar Method, the super tiny movements and breathing exercises have already begun proving their effectiveness by sculpting and carving out my muscles just the way I want them.  Yes, I know change doesn't happen over night, but we're moving in the right direction here.

Celebrity Workouts to Try at Home

While it's true that most celebrities are born with enviable genes, they still have to work hard to keep up their hot bods. Here, their trainers spill some of the fitness secrets that you can try at home.  Because who doesn't want abs like Jennifer Aniston, a butt like J. Lo and legs like Courtney Cox?

At Home Delivery Service for Health Fanatics

When I first learned of Farmnivore, a weekly delivery service of all the ingredients you need to make organic juices and smoothies for five days, I was pumped and eager.  They were nice enough to send me a smoothie box last week and I'm impressed!  If you make your own juices or smoothies at home, this delivery service will be your new best friend.
