The number one question I'm asked as a vegan throughout the past 10 years is, "What do you eat for protein?" Putting that one to rest with this new post for Self.com. Check it out.

Tried It: Vi Peel
Lately I've been suffering from hormonal acne and my hyperpigmentation is back in full swing so I decided to go to extremes, which is fitting for my personality. Living in this world of instant gratification, I couldn't wait to have cleaner looking skin, but let me tell you, the seven days post peel were perhaps the longest days of summer.

Denise Mari, Founder of Organic Avenue & Author
One of my favorite go-to's in NYC for a bite or juice has always been Organic Avenue. Hands down, it was well established, innovative and jumping before juices became trendy. This past year, when hearing the news of the store closings, I was devastated! Of course, there are other places I could go for a smoothie these days, but this was my spot and I know many NYers who felt the same way. But guess what? It's back and Founder, Denise Mari, took the time to share details about the new story openings, veganism and her favorite NYC restaurants.

It's a must have for all hair types and people who want to be in a good mood.
New Yoga Teaching Gigs!
I'm excited to announce that starting next week, I'm joining the Pavana Yoga team in Hoboken and will be teaching on Mondays at 9:30am weekly. The studio is brand new, downtown and gorgeous. If you're into a Vinyasa flow class with intelligent alignment instruction and some light rock and roll (Kings of Leon, Pearl Jam, DMB, John Mayer...), then this one's for you. Hope to see you on the mat!

New Wellness Loot Worth Buying
Lately, I've been noticing that more and more lifestyle brands are taking a wellness approach targeting how they can become part of a healthy lifestyle and it makes me so happy. Beauty brands caught onto this a while back and began creating cleaner products and marketing them towards health enthusiasts like myself, but recent mailings I received proved that this wellness thing is way more than just "trendy." It's a lifestyle that's not going anywhere... Here are some of my favorite new products that are completely on brand.
