Choosing Foods That Keep You Lean and Sexy: My List of Eat THIS Instead Of THAT

As I was ordering my salad this week, I sat back and observed the woman in front of me picking her toppings. Her toppings included: goat cheese, cranberries, croutons, a mixture of vegetables and GOBS of salad dressing. I thought to myself …”you might as well go down to Joe’s Pizza on Carmine and have 3 slices of Pizza. It will be the same amount of calories and SO MUCH MORE FUN!” Just because something seems healthy does not necessarily mean it is after you have killed it with calories.  Read More »

Holiday Workouts: Tips to Stay Fit Without A Gym Or Equipment

Holiday season means travel and that means we step out of our routines. Many of us go home where we do not have access to a gym or we have limited time to spend on our fitness routines.

So, I’ve designed an easy, effective Holiday Fitness Program that requires little to no equipment to help you stay on track.  Read More »

Jennifer Hadley, on “Spiritual Dating”; I hope this simple process will help empower your approach to dating and attracting your ‘ideal’…   Read More »

I decided to take note as to how men were speaking to women around me. I made it a point to simply listen in to conversations at the gym, local restaurants, movie theaters, etc. My intention was to get a better idea of how men speak to women when they don’t think anyone is listening-in. Needless to say, for the most part… I was disappointed.  Read More »

Is Your Vagina Getting The Respect It Deserves?

Demystify the idea that sex isn’t empowering and spiritual. Everything you do can be empowering and spiritual. It’s time to liberate yourself (and your hoo-ha) and scream from the mountain top (or head board) – “Buckle Up People, it’s about to get crazy in here!”  Read More »

Drop The Gossip For Your Own Sake!

I was hired as a chef this weekend to cater a very fancy dinner party by the beach. While making dessert, we started discussing some celebrity, The Olsen Twins, I think. My assistant said something a little cutting, as many of us do when referring to…  Read More »
