Tennis can take a lot out of you. Especially in singles play at the national level. Sometimes you just can’t take in enough water or food to replace the water and minerals you lose. And if it’s a hot day, the temperature on the court is even hotter. There have been times where my feet feel like they are on fire (even though I have on shoes) due to the…
Pineapples are full of Vitamin C and manganese, which are good for your bones, among other nutrients! Delicious clean eating! I’m not a big fan of blended or juiced fruit. I give different guidance on this depending on the person and their blood sugar issues. However, if you’re drinking soda, beer, or eating refined sugar, then this is probably a fantastic upgrade! ORGANIC PINEAPPLE EXPRESS Ingredients: 1 sweet organic pineapple* 12 filtered…
In a culture that tends to bombard us with pollution, free-radicals, electro-smog and a myriad of vibrational lowering stress, I love to know that every morsel of what I eat is supporting my health and helping keep my vibration high. I love starting off the first meal of the day with a fresh juice or smoothie, loaded with nutritious gems. Below, I’m sharing a recipe for my malty-maca, mango and…

Chia Pet, the toy that grows chia seeds into little sprouts. Simply soak your Chia Pet in water, then spread the seeds on the area where they grow, and within days you’ll pretty green vibrant plants. Transform a dog, cat, horse,…
Minstantaneous. I know. It’s not a word. But it should be! You know what I’m talking abut. It’s that moment when you look in your garden and realize that the mint has instantaneously taken over. No more sage, rosemary or thyme. Well, they are still there, just buried underneath the mint. I know that everyone says that mint is invasive, but with a little plucking at the beginning of the…
There were about 900 runners who came out to run on this cold, blustery 30 degree March morning here in Rhode Island. My husband and I came prepared with our hats, gloves and Underarmor gear, and waited in a heated tent for the race to start. When the gun went off we began our journey, running past the open ocean where we were greeted with a steady cold wind hitting us in the…
Walk into a grocery store and there in the produce section is an array of fruits and vegetables in every color of the rainbow. There are rows of green kales, spinach, herbs, beets, carrots, celery, and more that are automatically sprayed with water every few minutes to keep them fresh. There are displays full of apples, oranges, pears, bananas, avocados, and melons to name a few, all neatly piled and strategically placed.…
Juicing can give us a potent hit of helpful nutrients – think ’8 salads worth of high vibrational goodness in a glass’! There are an infinite number of combinations that you can create, yet, most people usually find a favourite combination that they go back to again and again. I’ve been juicing my favourite ‘super cleansing green tonic kale & coriander drink’ for years now… After traveling last week I am…
