Nothing is better than eating the perfect avocado in the sun. The weather is absolutely perfect in LA right now! We had lunch overlooking the vast city.

Oh and listen up ladies! Avocado, like olive oil, is high in oleic acid, which has been shown to prevent breast cancer in numerous studies. That’s right!!

This time around we are doing the Wella Beauty Bar where celebs can prep before the Golden Globes Awards. Hope they have some good healthy food onsite!

About to get off the flight. Nex stop is Raw Planet… duh.

”The  root of most illness is stagnation of the body’s pathways and impaction of waste matter in its cells and tissues. The great naturpath  Arnold Ehret put it this way: ’Every disease, no matter what name it is known by Medical Science, is constipation: a clogging up of the entire pipe system of the human body.’ In other words, stagnation of the body’s pathway creates a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses to thrive, triggering more complicated illnesses. We can ensure perfect health simply by maintaining clear-flowing internal pathways…,” (Raw Food Life Force Energy by Natalia Rose, pg. 35).

A healthy colon releases 2-3 times a day! That’s what we should all thrive for. How to get a better flow? Eat probiotics and fiber, drink lots of water, eat green veggies, and keep the food natural kids.

We all need a little inspiration now and then, and books are a great way to keep us motivated. Here are two I’m reading at the moment:

• You Can Create an Exceptional Life by Louise Hay & Cheryl Richardson
• The Rose Cleanse by Natalia Rose

When you fuel your car does it go faster or slower? obviously it goes faster. The way you fuel your body should be viewed the same way. When you eat, your body should recharge and release energy. Not slow down and head towards the coach for rest.

Picked up dinner and dessert at Chelsea market this evening. My go to dinner (when I’m exhausted) is always avocado and whatever else I got. Today happened to be yellow grape tomatoes, broccoli, walnuts, and raisins. Topped with my favorite mustard dressing (consists of olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, and garlic salt). And raw chocolate chip cookies from One Lucky Duck for after…. yum!

Today’s walk in the park was pure happiness and truly a reminder to always live in the moment.

My best friend Sofia visited me this weekend from Sweden, and of course we had to get manicures and pedicures… duh girl’s weekend… and well-deserved after all the walking… 😉 Chose Wicked from Essie – one of my favorite colors for this time of year.

Ah damn, One Lucky Duck was closed this morning, but we (my dearest friend Sofia who is visiting me from Sweden) picked up two freshly squeezed juices and shared a fruit salad instead. Great way to start the day!
