I've written about how much I LOVE coconut oil- here's yet another time it comes in handy…. as a hair deep-conditioner! I'm certainly not one to take the cheap way out when it comes to ANYTHING related to taking care of the body, including getting regular massage, (obviously) putting only high quality food in and […]
Read More ›Why not? You've heard of pineapple or mango salsa; why not try it with another fruit? Last night, I served a really tasty concoction: Strawberry, Cucumber, Mint, Red Onion, (in order of quantity) chopped and added to fresh lime juice, a splash of extra virgin olive oil and some freshly ground black pepper. I poached […]
Read More ›I've written about this many-a-time, but since I'm at the airport now, I thought it would be a good reminder to all that you can, in fact, grab something healthy in a rush to your flight.
