The food court at Woodbury Commons doesn’t offer many options for a gluten-free, vegan like me. I did have a Pure Bar to eat as a backup, but thought I was safe with a plate of black beans and vegetables (what I ate a year ago while taking a break from shopping). As I approached […]
I turned the page of Sunday’s (7/24/2011) New York Times and almost couldn’t believe what I was reading. An ad for New York Sports Clubs (of which I am a member) that screamed: your sexual orientation can’t stop you from getting married but your body can. Yes, it was the first day that gay couples […]
Back in March, Selena Gomez released her new single, “Who Says”, on Ryan Seacrest’s show, “On Air With Ryan Seacrest.” At the time she said the new song was a way of sending a message to the “haters” who keep trying to bring her down, according to www.freshnewsdaily.com. On June 9, Selena was hospitalized for […]
This is one of my favorite times of year – the “playoffs” to get into the National Hockey League playoffs and have an opportunity to play for the coveted Stanley Cup. The New York Rangers always seem to find themselves in a fight for a playoff spot and it often comes down to a mathematical […]
A spring detox does not have to be full of rules and restrictions. It doesn’t have to mean green drinks or daily water fasts. It can be anything you want it to be with a specific health, wellness and/or self-care goal in mind. As I mention in the video, it can be as “simple” as […]

I know you are busy, so trust me when I say there is no judgment in this question: how often do you read product labels when food shopping? I completely understand that it becomes one more thing to do, and how many of us want to spend more time in the grocery store? The problem […]
Now, I get the shakes when I see Peeps in the stores. Years ago, I couldn’t wait for spring when they’d be out on the shelves before Easter (now they’re available almost all year!). And, if Easter was too close to Passover, I’d buy the Peeps and wait until it was “OK” to eat them. […]

After a great workout last night, I decided to take a walk to the local grocery store to see what chips are available for the average person (not a health nut, not a complete junk food junkie) to snack on during Sunday’s Super Bowl. Some items disgusted me and others were a pleasant surprise. I […]
