I wrote a blog post about a great product I happened upon at Whole Foods a while back and, wouldn’t you know it? It turns out their offices are locally based in nearby Santa Monica! I reached out to them, we’ve established a great connection and now you can take advantage of a great offer. […]
Read More ›It happens all the time. I’ll be out running errands or in the airport catching a flight, just about to bite into a crunchy, red bell pepper and someone will stare or gawk or even approach me and ask if I’m “really going to eat that, just as it is?”. Yes, as a matter of […]
Read More ›Eating healthfully in the summer time, for many, is the easiest time to keep on track. Whether it comes down to the desire to eat a lighter meal because it’s hot outside or the vast array of local produce available, or for some, the impetus to look great at the beach, the end result […]
