Happy Friday! I had planned to write about skin cancer today but the topic of stress and panic attacks keeps popping up so I’m going with that. I will write about my basal cell carcinoma experience next week. Again, I’m not worried about the BCC diagnosis AT ALL. Sooooo…I get stressed. A lot. I come from a family of stressy people. Calm...
Happy Friday! If you use chemical dyes on your hair, this is a must read. If you know someone who uses chemical dyes, please make sure they read this post or do their own research on the dangers of chemical hair dyes and the natural options available. As far as I know, and I have researched this topic extensively, there are two...
Happy Friday! If you ever have the pleasure of doing jury duty, you will likely need many snacks to get through the boredom of waiting to be picked or sent home. I can tell you from personal experience (it’s my turn to fulfill my civic duty today) that food choices in and around the Miami Courthouse are severely limited. I...
Happy Friday! One of my first few posts when I started this blog in July of 2016 was about sugar and how addictive it is. More and more people are mentioning to me that they have issues with sugar and coming right out and saying they have an all out sugar addiction. Perhaps there is an increased desire to reach...
Happy Friday! It is pure torture to write about my favorite foods today like toasted baguette with herbed cashew ricotta, olives and cherry tomatoes… I am doing (or attempting to do) a juice cleanse this week and trying very very hard not to think about solid food. Sometimes our bodies need a break to do the wonderful work they were designed...
I had foot surgery about 10 years ago (I have not been blessed with perfect feet) and my mother came down to Florida to take care of me. The pain medication made me extremely thirsty so my mom was continuously going back and forth to the kitchen to get me water. She decided to drink a glass each time she...
Sugar and spice and everything nice! I am working with a client to come up with healthy recipes for her and her family. This past weekend, we decided to involve the kids. As you can see from the photo, my little helpers each had their own aprons (actually they were mine but we made them fit) and were ready to get...
You’ve heard of hurricane or blizzard preparedness? Holiday Party Preparedness is similar but more serious. The holidays are a time of joy, stress, over-eating, over-drinking, fighting, loving, more drinking and more eating then feeling bloated and depleted of energy the next day. Then we wake up and do it all over again. And again. I love it all. It’s the most wonderful...
Who am I kidding? We can try to conjure up winter in Florida but it just ain’t happenin’. We were experiencing some gorgeous mornings of dry, cool temps (mid 60s – brrrr) last week but today is a bit muggy and buggy. However, the humidity hasn’t stopped me from setting up my outdoor desk. I have been meaning to do this since...
Who knew it would turn out this way. Even the Donald himself was blown away when it became apparent that he was about to become the 45th President of the United States of America. All the polls pointed to Hillary winning this election. The question no longer is, ‘who will be our next President?’ but ‘who am I and what kind...
