Boy oh boy is it exhausting taking NYC by storm in one weekend! Sunday’s weather was far nicer than Saturday’s (in that there was less rain), but JUST as nasty in terms of humidity… I still started the day with java and fruit. There may have been a bit of a SoapNet marathon throughout the AM. Is there a better show to get ready to start the day than 90210? I think not 🙂 After digesting and beautifying, we set off for Brooklyn. I love the promenade/DUMBO area. So cute – and such great… Read more >

Remember that horribly inappropriate song?? Well, today I had an appt with an Osteopaedic MD who specializes in the spine. I’ll get into the deets later, but rest assured, I’ll be making some changes so I don’t end up looking like this by my 30th birthday. I started the day with coffee. Doesn’t that beautiful foam make you wanna dive right into it? Flowers for Algernon is my latest read, btw, although my wait to see the MD was so short I didn’t even need it! NYU Joint Disease knows how to treat their… Read more >

Wow. Time flies when you’re having fun blogging about it. It feels like just yesterday I stumbled across this amazing community of foodies and decided to begin a blog about my adventures in the vegan kitchen. Who would have known the decision to write (almost daily) about my food/exercise/etc would have impacted my life the way it has? I certainly did not. And yet, here I am, a YEAR later, with a ton of new friends, having tried food I hardly would have known existed a year ago! Thank you to everyone who has ever… Read more >

Sunday started much the same as Saturday, with the buzzzz of my alarm clock at 5 am. Boo :( At least I had all this deliciousness to look forward to… Dried fruit (figs, mangoes), real fruit (apple), bars (TJ’s Trek Mix, Jocolat’s newest flavor – more below on that), pistachio/almond/goji mix, sabra mini-tub of hummus, and a huge GREEN BEAST of a salad. Cruciferous much? Seriously, could there BE more green in this salad? On top of the bed of spinach and the broccoli slaw was even more broccoli. T’was perfection in the raw-est of… Read more >

I wouldn’t even know where to begin. It was such a stressful (work filled) weekend, I’m just glad it’s over and I made it through. I am far too exhausted to type, so I won’t be sharing the latest ICU happs. Instead, I’ll stick to the food. Saturday’s pre-packed snacks/lunch included some oldies (pistachio, almond, goji, dried cranz mix), TJ’s “Go Rah” Trek Mix bar, dried fruit, yadda yadda – and some newbies. I have seen these MoJo bars throughout the blog world before, but thought they were some urban legend. Turns out, they are… Read more >
