Finding Wellness in Las Vegas
When my husband asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday this year, without hesitation I said Las Vegas. An answer that surprised him greatly. I'm not really a partier or a gambler. I did need to get out of the house and away from my routine. But I also had another reason why Vegas was the destination of choice - wellness.
Wellness and Vegas are words that are not often used together. In fact, when I told some friends about the plan one of them said the gangsters who founded Vegas were rolling over in their graves at the thought of my trip. I get it, I get it! While it may not be the most popular opinion, Las Vegas is actually a wellness lover's dream.
A Side of Syrup Podcast - EP 001: How to Say Yes Less

Summer Eating, Part 4
Welcome back for the last part of our four-week series on seasonal eating. What is more summer than two things - a salad filled with crisp, raw veggies or a smoothie? Fun fact: both are made better by adding spinach.
Say what, that bitter, sometimes hard to incorporate leafy green? Yep! Here's how to add it to nearly everything for a nutrient-dense seasonal punch.
Summer Eating, Part 3 (It's not just about juice)
While not a superfood (it's 92% water and only 14 calories a serving) - there are specific health benefits to eating celery. Especially in the summer. Now, what to do with it (hint: not juice it!)? There are loads of ways to incorporate celery recipes into your repertoire - celery smoothies, celery snacks, and celery soup. The list goes on and on.
Summer Eating, Part 2
Welcome back for part two of four weeks of seasonal eating. Now that summer is in full swing and at least in California, the farmer's markets are booming. There's produce that signifies BBQs, picnics, and a slew of holidays and long weekends. To me, a summer holiday is not complete unless there is watermelon there. Full stop. Sweet, savory, spicy, and even liquified, it's the perfect balance of sweetness that every event in the summer needs.
Summer is here. Let's eat like it.
Strawberries are my oldest son's all-time favorite food. They are always in our fridge and always on the grocery list. I don’t hesitate at buying them (just not at Erewhon because I’d be broke) or giving them to him any time he asks. Why? Let’s break down how awesome strawberries are for you. Admittedly, after this many years with this fruit always around, I know my way around this berry and just about every single way to make it exciting.

Meditate Anywhere
I know that you know about meditating. But there are a million reasons why traditional meditating doesn't work or doesn't stick. You need a quiet atmosphere, quiet thoughts, and enough time to zen out. It's just not realistic. And it doesn't fit into the day of really busy people.
Enter Meditate Anywhere. A place and a space where you can find that shut-down moment for your mind.
