In complete heaven… Just ordered this strawberry shake with drizzled organic granola from Planet Raw. You know where to find me this weekend!

Just got to my hotel in Santa Monica. It’s time to prep for Saturday’s Spirit Awards!

Above is the 28-day cleanse schedule. The 14-day cleanse has the same routine except that one only follows the “gentle phase” and “power phase”. In addition, it’s important to drink a lot of water and three to five glasses of fresh squeezed fruit or vegetable juice per day. Also, if one gets hungry in-between the meals, herbs, and shakes, one should always eat a snack! Normally I would take the herbs with me while going to the beach and then go home for the shakes and meals.

Gelatin is a protein obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments and/or bones from cows and pigs in water and is usually used as a thickener. So is this stuff in your food? The answer is probably yes if you eat certain candy (gummi bears), marshmallows, puddings, yogurts, cakes, etc. Check the label before you put this in your mouth… nasty.

It’s my last day in Vail. Couldn’t find a green juice anywhere in the village, but there was lots of snow, sunshine, and hot tea, so it’s all good. Ready to get back to New York now! Have a great week everyone. xx

Want to remove toxins from your body? Great… I have a simple tool for you. Next time add some masada dead sea mineral salt to your bath. It works wonders and extracts impurities through the skin. It also stimulates natural circulation and relaxes tense muscles.

Although freshly made almond milk is obviously so much better for you, buying it ready to go is always easy, especially when you’re traveling. Bought this vanilla flavored one in Vail yesterday…

What are the benefits of almond milk? It’s rich in calcium, providing the same amount per cup as cow’s milk or soy milk. Along with vitamin D, phosphorus and magnesium, calcium is needed to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It also helps regulate blood pressure.
