Ok, actually being vegan in Mexico is pretty impossible, so I’ve made a few compromises for the sake of enjoying the vacation…let’s just say, chips and guac will never get old. But I’m getting ahead of myself. This morning I slept in and woke up to the sun beaming through my window. Here’s the view from out my room. LOVE it!!!! New York, smell ya later. My parents’ villa has 3 floors and my room is on the bottom floor along with my parents’. There’s also the casita (where my sis is staying) which… Read more >

Cheers to 2009, but jeers to leaving home to return to snow. I packed a TON of plane food the night before (the LAST thing I want is to be stranded/delayed in an airport without food options). With the other end piece of the Alfaro’s bread, the rest of the veggie cheddar shreds, mushrooms, and a fresh, organic tomato, I made a pretty gourmet sando. Check it out! It turned into a monster as I was making it, so it’s a good thing the bread is SUPER thick to hold all that stuff in. DAYAM!… Read more >

Good morning from the west coast (aka the BEST coast)!! I started the day off as any good day should begin, with caffeine in a fun mug. I kinda messed up the ratio of lactaid to coffee again (but sorta on purpose this time since it was so good yesterday). Btw, the combo of BOTH lactaid and vanilla silk soy milk is pretty amazing. At about 11, I went on a walk around the Lafayette reservoir with my high school besties (plus the boyfriends). Since I have no car, Lauren picked me up and we… Read more >

I woke up bright and early and decided to play with my new camera. Here’s some shots of the backyard… I love the sun beams coming through the trees behind the creek. I definitely miss having a yard (and space in general) in Manhattan, so it’s nice to go home and enjoy nature. (Unpictured to the left) is the tire swing and the 2 bird feeders. The birds were ALL OVER them the entire time I was home…even the squirrels were having at it when the birds were away. It was pretty amusing watching them… Read more >

Last night I definitely woke up 6 times to pee…it might have something to do with my bedtime fluid loading (I’m really annoyed by this cold).Right before I went to bed I had a cup of tea and a glass of pink lemonade flavored Emergen-C. This pink packet was in my “Pilates for Pink” gift bag (yes, from October) and I randomly came across it yesterday, talk about good timing!Cut to today…I feel MUCH better. I woke up at 9 (boo) and was STARVING!! Weird. Anyways, I decided to make the ratio of my morning… Read more >
