About Elise
I’m a nurse. An exercise lover. A whole foods connoisseur. A health enthusiast. And I have IBS. No need to cue the sappy violin music yet...
I’ve found that eating a mostly plant-based diet has allowed me to continue to live and love life to the fullest. Although moderation isn’t something I do well, I’m 100% devoted to giving my body pure, wholesome, quality food. Nutritious and delicious, all the time.
Hungry Hungry Hippie is a way for me to share my daily dealings with food, fitness, and everything in between.
In true Sesame Street style, today was sponsored by the colors GREEN and ORANGE. I didn’t realize it until I was posting these photos, but there’s a real trend going on in my eats from today. Breks was caffeine and fruit. After the booze infusion that was this weekend, I was thinking of doing something detox-y, but then I remembered that my normal eats ARE mostly just that. So, onward ho! I was happy to get back to my froth love. Coffee just isn’t the same when I don’t get my own non-milk stevia on. … Read more >

What a FUN weekend trip to the west coast. And by fun, I mean booze-filled. I was drunkface this weekend, and now I feel like I’ve been dragged home from CA. I arrived on Friday afternoon, and before I knew it, Sunday morning came and I was heading back to NYC. This is the view from the world’s smallest plane hang-glider I was forced to take to and from SFO. All the Xanax in Britney’s purse couldn’t have calmed me enough for this. Propellers? Uhhh…I prefer the JetBlue air buses, thank you very much. Has… Read more >

This morning I woke up before 7 am sans alarm (???). I tried to get back into REM, but my body wasn’t having it. Oh well. I did have a few errands to run, so I washed & brushed and headed out… By the time I got back to my apartment it was 7:15 and I had already tackled 2/3 of my day’s to-do list!! Then I looked down at my outfit. Note to self: do NOT leave the apartment when you’ve had less than 5 hours of sleep…I looked like some disastrous combination of… Read more >

I arrived at work today to find out we were overstaffed on our unit, and as the lowest RN on the totem pole, I was the sucker that had to float to a different floor. Work FAIL. I was a bit nervous since I am a one trick pony very familiar with the cardiac ICU, but haven’t really ventured elsewhere outside the acute setting. But rather than boo hoo all the way to my new assignment, I was a good sport about it, and decided to make it an educational day. Welcome to the Neuro… Read more >

At the risk of sounding insensitive, is anyone else really sick of all this Michael Jackson coverage? I loved the king of pop just as much as the next person, but excessive coverage has come and gone…at this point, it is borderline hideous. What ever happened to just having a moment of silence to show your respect? Rather than undergo 20 minutes of channel flipping to avoid the aforementioned topic, my tivo (aka Kathy Griffin) came to the rescue. As did Starbucks’ gazebo blend 🙂 Can I help it if I crave sweets for breakfast? … Read more >
