New Year, Rejuvenated You

New Year, Rejuvenated You

Since the beginning of December, my inbox has been flooded with pitches titled, "New Year, New You," which I've written a thousand times myself, but these stories tend to point us toward products for makeovers and weight loss tips in order to find fulfillment and happiness.  The turn of the year however, isn't about finding happiness through fleeting vices.  Instead, it's a reminder to reflect on your lifestyle and set intentions to make necessary changes in order to live more beautifully.  So welcome, "New Year, Rejuvenated You," because you're already awesome.

How to Keep (and Achieve) Your New Year's Resolution

How to Keep (and Achieve) Your New Year's Resolution

Have you thought about your New Year's resolution yet?  Each year I sit down and make a list of bigger picture "resolutions" and smaller things I hope to accomplish within the year. Last year, becoming a certified yoga teacher and holistic health coach, launching a new business and going to a Taylor Swift concert all make the list – Done.  Done.  Done.  And done.  All of these things were easy to cross off the list once finished, but some "resolutions" were bigger, self improvement challenges that I needed a strategy for.  So here it is.  I hope it helps you, too.

Recipe: A De-Bloating Juice

The holidays are clearly the hardest time of year to eat clean.  Dinner parties often don't provide a ton of healthy options (Finger foods? I'll pass.) and martinis tend to go down like water (for me, anyway).  Here's a juice recipe that I've tried by Dr. Taz that'll help to quickly reduce bloating so you can continue to party on without feeling gross.

A Christmas Wish for Peace

A Christmas Wish for Peace

As my husband and I enjoy the holiday season, going to see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, watching Billy Joel perform at MSG and attending countless celebrations with family and friends, I'm reminded everyday how lucky we are in a world of complete chaos and unrest.  For me, and I'm sure for most of you as well, it's becoming increasingly harder understand the hate in this world and it's with a heavy heart and hopeful soul that I write this post. 

Tired Skin? We've Got The Answer

Tired Skin? We've Got The Answer

 "Tired skin" used to be a common concern of patients who visited expert dermatologist, Dr. Dennis Gross. This trend initially stumped him. What did they mean by tired skin? And what could he do to fix it?  His latest collection focuses on bringing skin cells back to life through a groundbreaking, potent form of Vitamin C complex in each of his new products.  Just like a battery, our skin cells need to be charged and the new collection offers the ultimate regimen to keep your skin looking young and radiant.

Soul Candy: Rescue Dogs

Soul Candy: Rescue Dogs

This "Soul Candy" series is my favorite feature. I'm so glad that I added to the blog this year.  Your stories keep pouring in and I feel grateful to be able to share good news and random acts of kindness with all of you.  This one was written by a woman who regularly adopts senior dogs in order to give them a wonderful last few years and will make you want to run to the nearest shelter to help!

Probiotics: The Answer to Gut Health

Probiotics: The Answer to Gut Health

It wasn't until I studied nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and became a Holistic Health Coach that I realized the importance of probiotics.  It's the one supplement I recommend all of my clients take as I truly believe that it's beneficial for balancing gut bacteria and keeping your digestive system healthy amongst other things.  As a health coach and yoga teacher, my lifestyle is dedicated to finding balance, health and internal peace and helping others do the same.  When it comes to taking probiotics, that part of my regimen just got easier.  Enter: The morning routine.
