I’m currently working on incorporating daily meditation into my life, making it a routine. This evening I lite candles all over my apartment, got into a comfortable position, closed my eyes, and observed my breath, as I looked inward, towards the light, my soul, my spirit. I find it easier to start of with a guided voice, and tonight it was Gabrielle Bernstein. I strongly recommend purchasing her new mediation DVD – Spirit Junkie Guided Meditation. Wow so powerful. I am VERY grateful for the love and energy that I felt in every cell of my body tonight.

You can’t deny it – it’s almost November and winter is just around the corner. With that said, just cause we flip a page on the calendar (and won’t be in a bikini for a while…) doesn’t mean our bodies don’t need love and care. This is the time of the year that we all need a little extra motivation! So the fact that the Allt för Hälsa Stockholmsmässan is coming to the rescue in two weeks is amazing for you Swedes… 

From 10-13 November, for four whole days, you can feed your body knowledge on healthy eating, spirituality, and exercise. My favorite Raw Foodie, Erica Palmcrantz will even be onsite on Friday at 4pm to talk about superfoods. She’ll also be there Saturday to talk about how raw food provides more daily energy. Go see her!! (I would if I was not a million miles away).

It’s sometimes hard to fly and remain on track… BUT with enough planning it’s definitely possible. Don’t be so hard on yourself and do the best you can. In the pics above, we are in LA, exhausted after the Emmy Awards – snapped a photo of this colorful salad while getting some rest in between all the calls and emails to the media. Oh and a reminder to ALWAYS RESPECT what other people eat and their choices…

Came home to my apartment tonight with no clue what to make for dinner… SO I pulled out my old tahini dressing recipe and mixed it with broccoli and raisins. Ingredients include a scoop of tahini, water, celtic sea salt, and lemon juice – mix to your liking.

This weekend I spent Sunday listening to lectures on nutrition, yoga, and spirituality at the NewLife Expo in New York. Learned some incredible stuff… On my way out I stopped by to say hi to Viktoras Kulvinskas, the father of raw food.  Want to send him a special thank you since he gave me his book – Survival In The 21st Century. If you are looking to change your life, I recommend flying to his retreat center in Costa Rica!

Here is a quote from his book that I like… ”Take care of your bodies – Please! Try living seven days with no sugar. NO SUGAR. Try seven days with no poisoned, sprayed – with – insecticides, pesticides – laden food. See how you feel. You’ll learn something about being chemically manipulated when you give your body one weeks rest from all that poison.”

Every year my mother puts together an amazing Thanksgiving feast (yes there are several raw/vegan options to chose from… thanks mom) and this November will be no different. Heading down to Miami in a month along with my brothers Gustaf and Ludde.

As some of you know, my first stop back home is always Glaser Farms in Coconut Grove, 15 minutes from downtown. It’s a weekend market/farm with the most amazing organic and raw produce. Definitely stocking up on a few things… If you’re in Florida, stop by for lunch or even some raw chilled ice cream.

Peace & love to everyone! Have a beautiful day.

I know it’s hard to give up our favorite body lotions, deodorants, and washes, but at the end of the day… it might add years to your life, since your body is focusing on way more important things – and not trying to clear the toxins from your day to day products. Dude, listen, it was hard for me to get ride of my Chloe perfume too, but now it’s been a couple of months and I don’t even think about. On the contrary, I smell it now, and it stinks of alcohol. Yuke.

Weleda is a brand I love! Picked up a a few things in Denmark with Sofia. Adore the body lotions…

People are always talking about how important your sneakers are… but how about your socks? Personally I like gococo, they give awesome support and are the best at removing moisture, which is key… Plus they combine a modern design with functionality. I mean who doesn’t want to look good when working out…?

Functionality is the main priority for Gococo, which is why they have chosen to take sock technology to the next level by using Cocona® as the main material in our socks. Recent research has shown Cocona® to be the most effective material on the market, given its outstanding capacity to neutralise odours and remove moisture more quickly from the surface of the skin. These impressive features, along with its durability, are based on a natural technology with no added chemicals. This material has proven to work perfectly in all sports activities, as well as being equally at home outside the sports arena. Gococo currently offers several different styles, the majority of which are designed for sport activities. The socks are unisex and available in a range of eye-catching colours as well as designs that are suited for particular activities.

The company is currently engaged in a highly successful collaborative project with The Swedish Pink Ribbon foundation. The Swedish Pink Ribbon sock is made by Gococo and sold on behalf of breast cancer research, helping to raise substantial funds. Support the cause by puchasing a pair…

You are unique and have been given this body for a purpose. Love it. Honor it. Respect it. Accept it.

According to Natalia Rose, ”A strong colon has lots of healthy bacteria, or good intestinal ”flora,” which helps to move waste out at maximum efficiency. Plenty of this healthy flora protects against the overgrowth of bad bacteria that commonly develop as putrefactive wastes that sit in the lower bowel. Ample good bacteria easily fends of bad bacteria. A healthy intestine has a bacterial balance ratio of approx. 85% good bacteria to 15% bad bacteria.”

So how to help the colon create this ration? Stop the bloating? Fight the gas? Eat daily probiotics!!! Probiotics are the healtht bacteria, aslo known as the ”good guys.” Recommend the brand above – Dr. Ohhira’s – and eating 1-2 pills on an empty stomach in the morning.
