Less scrolling. More living.
Maybe it’s just that I am approaching 40, or the fact that we’re in a pandemic, but my medicine cabinet and morning routine of taking supplements borderlines on a 90-year olds. It’s not blood pressure pills and cholesterol, but herbs, immune support, minerals, vitamins and more. Being plant-based, I take B-12 supplements on top of other vitamins (cause age and pandemic!) that help my immune system stay ready to fight… Keep Reading
If you haven’t been upstate NY, you’re missing out. I’ve always said, some of the most beautiful places in the world exist right here in the good ol U S of A. And while I’ve seen a lot of it, New York is one state I am happy to call home. We have all four seasons. We have the biggest, best city in the world, oceanfront, Broadway AND – saving… Keep Reading
All the negative moments of 2020 aside, I’ve honestly rather enjoyed the downtime. We travel a. lot. We are always on the go. We’re neurotic New Yorkers. So the abrupt stop (covid, broken arm, quarantine, job loss) has risen positives. More time together, more time to slow down, and my favorite – more time to read. I am a book junkie. As you have read previously, I blame it on… Keep Reading

We’re overly excited for the Big Game this year. I know the black and gold isn’t in it, but guess who else isn’t? That’s right – that evil team from the north (don’t need to name names here, we know). That means, we celebrate. I don’t know if you had a chance to watch some of the playoff games this year, but these two teams are worthy of the title… Keep Reading
Everyone’s favorite time of year is here – Veganuary. No? Oh, that was the holidays? Well, just in case you’re creeping Google for those few #plantbased recipes to at least attempt a new year resolution for the first 20 days of the year, you’ve landed in the right place. When I first went #plantbased, I found the hardest part learning how to cook #vegan. As a seasoned chef and baker,… Keep Reading
Gift-giving is hard AF, right? Unless you are some special Pinterest loving enthusiast with the crafting skills level Martha Stewart, it’s hard to know what to ever give those who are most dear to you. Which is sort of messed up, right? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. But, since we can’t just gift private islands in the Caribbean, let’s start small – it’s the thought that counts. Especially when… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year where SAD kicks in as the darkness and cold sets in before 5pm. So there is no better reason to get out of the house and check out a funny, cute comedy with the family. Pig out on popcorn and curl up for the best movie this season – Playing with Fire. Okay, so we got to meet John Cena, yes BUT we saw the… Keep Reading
Finding time to work out is no new feat. We can all talk until we’re blue in the face about finding time, valuing yourself – blah blah blah. I can throw all the statistics at you that I want, but unless you’re ready for it, you’re just not going to do it. But I have captured your attention and you’re reading this so… there is a good chance you are…. Keep Reading
When’s the last time you got a night out with the girls? Can’t remember? Here’s your annual checkup to make sure you fit that in. I look forward to the Momtrends Moms’ Night Out every year.
