When I tell people that I try to mostly follow a raw food diet, they most often look at me as if I had just, that very instant, grown an extra head. Yeah, I thought that was pretty unconventional too until I took a class on raw food – aka living foods, cuisine (given by my mentor/guru/friend Ki Kosut of the Ki-Atsu Institute) about 10 months ago and got to understand the benefits and the practicalities of it all.
Note: By no means do I intend to give anyone a lecture on raw food. I will leave that to the experts. [...]

Sesame Street is 40 years old! It was a truly groundbreaking show when it launched in 1969. It has since become the longest-running children’s show in TV history and has a new website to match.

OMG!!! I just bought one of these Orbit Brushes. Anyone who has a little girl, even one with straight hair, knows that brushing their hair can start the morning off on the very, very, very wrong foot.

I’ve been waiting for this website to be a little further along in its development before I shared it with you (there were only three food artisans featured on the site when it first launched very recently).

Launched just this past October by notable editor Tina Brown, The Daily Beast is my favorite new way to get my news fix. It is a news aggregator, but this one uniquely presents cheeky and clever editorial summaries on the top news stories and issues.
I get my Daily Beast through a daily email that covers top & breaking stories (which is all I need to get my news – under 3 minutes, thankyouverymuch). When you have time, it’s worth clicking through and reading other stories and articles from The Daily Beast’s fabulous and diverse array of contributors. My favorite of [...]

Yoga feels good, does us good, helps us look good.  What’s not to love? So, to start the year off just right, I thought that I should offer some motivation to make yoga even more appealing… by introducing some of my favorite indie suppliers of yoga accessories. Yoga is perhaps the most rewarding and stress-free way to achieve physical – and mental – fitness. And, why not practice yoga in style to feel and look extra fabulous?
