While I never much thought about fancy things before, I went from wearer of cotton and beads to lover of lace and crystal as soon as that rock rounded my finger. Pearls, especially, I've been particularly drawn to. Gone are the days when wearing pearls was reserved for tea parties and playing dress up.  Read more >

I'm not a noodle hater by any means. You gotta put Sunday Sauce on something, right? And spaghetti is my favorite. Unfortunately, pasta isn't exactly a conquering hero for the department nutrition. But I fret not. Finally after all these years of twirling my fork full of empty carbs, I found a healthier substitute that meets my fancy.  Read more >

The greens that is. Who knew these pesky lawn weeds could be added to any recipe calling for a leafy green. They're a little on the bitter side so be prepared, but cooking them takes some of that edge off. Rich in vitamins like A and K, I'd think twice before chopping them up with your lawnmower blades.

About Me: 

I'm a thirty-something, self-employed acupuncturist originally from Long Island, NY.  I currently live in California with the love of my life and we're engaged to be married in October 2012. We spend much of our days trying to make "better" for our future. But I've got to tell you that "today" ain't that bad!

My passions include health and wellness, writing, and nature. I love to hike, camp, cook and dance. Most people think of me as a free spirit. I view myself as an old soul just trying to accomplish what I'm destined to do!
