  • Last night @daphnejavitch of @doingwell literally gave us life at the bodega ✨✨I feel so lucky to have friends that can get real about their cleansing practice, the mind F of motherhood and also the occasional Coca Cola 🥤😝 Check out our live for a recap but some gems: 💜A sign of true wellness is getting back on the wagon. Your life SHOULD include disruption from routine. That is what life is about. It’s how you handle those disruptions and return back home. 💜Every morning is an opportunity to reanchor yourself back to your return. Every meal is a new opportunity 💜A wellness practice, in order to be sustainable, requires kindness to yourself and others 💜When dealing w critical friends and family, when you relax into your lifestyle, the people around you will relax into it too 💜Juice cleanses are only cleanses if you are eliminating. If it doesn’t leave the body, it’s only a potential cleanse. One great way to do that is just sub juice for breakfast in the AM 💜It’s not about portion control, it’s about proportions. Crowd out your plates with raw leafy greens and veg and supplement w denser foods like fish, or high quality grains, baked yams, or avocado

  • Us Then vs Us Now. My how things have changed. In the former picture, taken w a Blackberry at some dark, loud club no doubt, I was still going out until at least 4am 2-3 nights a week. I was still eating diner food at 5am. I was still chain smoking. (Yes, I smoked for about 10 years of my life. American Spirits. The virtuous “natural cigarette”. Something I felt quite proud of in fact.) I was still sucking down vodka sodas with lime. I was still using Sundays as my “cheat days” and punishing myself with hard core cleanses and self-hating words on Monday. I was still living a vicious cycle and longed for someone to just hug me and tell me it was going to be alright. Everything is going to turn out just fine. So during these past ten years I discovered the power of saying No to the things, situations and people that made me feel bad and yes to the things that healed me. It was scary, sometime lonely. Seeking wellness is not always popular when you’re in your twenties. But here we are and we created the life we dreamed of. It’s not always perfect, hardly. But the power of consciously saying NO to what feels bad and YES to what brings us joy and peace is so incredibly powerful. It also takes work. Work to feel all the feelings that you’ve been running from since whatever trauma we’ve experienced as children, teenagers and adults. Thanks #tenyearchallenge for putting all the years of meditation, vision boarding, setting intentions, saying no, saying yes and sending so much love to myself into perspective. It worked. Oh and happy 10 year anniversary love @djnvm ..time flies when you’re having fun 💘💘💘

  • On weekends, you’ll find me here making my favorite lunch. Well toasted Ezekiel sprouted grain bread with mashed avocado, sliced cucumber and tomato livened up w a dash of sumac, Japanese rock salt and black pepper with a side of mixed greens and @tacombi habanero hot sauce from last night’s dinner as dressing. During the week I usually do juice/bonberi green smoothie/fruit until early evening since I’m running around and I thrive/get the most energy from that regimen but on slower, cozy weekends it feels so good to nourish myself with more grounding hearty foods earlier in the day and since most of this is still raw and properly combined I don’t feel the energy slump or zapped from a digestion overhaul. Could honestly eat this every day! 🥑🥬🍞 #plantbased #rawish #foodcombining #weekend #bonberilife
  • The exquisite joy of wrapping food in lettuce leaves. Did you know if you’re tired of eating salads, just wrapping your dinner in lettuce leaves is the best food-combining hack of them all? Rice! Noodles! Tacos! Literally anything can be wrapped in a lettuce leaf, provides the chlorophyll/live enzymes to help break down those heavier foods, plus it’s so fun. We should always incorporate one raw veg with cooked foods since these are the foods that contain LIVE enzymes that give us energy, feed our blood and help breakdown the rest of our meal. This is me wrapping a spring roll in red leaf lettuce. Yep it’s fried but the lettuce combats with loads of alkaline hydration making it easier to digest heavier foods. Win all around! 🥬🥬🥬 #wrapit #greens #foodcombining #plantbased

  • Had so much fun presenting for Job Day at Jude’s school..we talked about making salads and how to “shake” dressings to make them creamy and yummy, the benefits of raw fruits and veggies and how they actually hydrate you just like a glass of water..how you can “eat!” your water..a statement to which many replied, “You don’t EAT your water, you DRINK it!” 😝, how green juice can be sweet and yummy with pear and apple and what everyone’s favorite fruit is! Fan favorite? Strawberries!🍓🍓🍓 #plantbased #motherhood #workingmama 📸 @djnvm
