Normally, when James and I travel we’re obsessed with reading everything on Tripadvisor and reaching out to our networks for all the must-do’s so we can try them and report back for our guides. However, with a 36 hour trip to Dallas we were so enamored by all that the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas had to offer, we decided not to leave the property.
After the joyful insanity that was Coachella, James, Patricia Field and I headed to LA for a few days before returning to New York. Usually, I stay in Santa Monica but Pat had some meetings in Hollywood so we landed at the Loews Hollywood. The location could not be more central or smack in the middle of Hollywood — I’m talking steps from the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Dolby Theatre (where the Oscars take place!).
In celebration of workout Wednesday I wanted to share a workout class and fitness brand Aryka and I recently discovered. We were invited to the Krav Maga Academy in NYC to test out a class and it was so beyond anything I imagined (in a good way).
Like every other person on the planet, one of my resolutions for the new year was to take better care of my body. And one of the ways to jump start that process was with a 3-day cleanse from BluePrint. It’s been a while since I’ve done any type of a detox plan and this experience taught me quite a bit including…
I’ve written about Unilever Project Sunlight before, it’s a wonderful initiative focused on encouraging people to create a brighter future for children – by taking small steps to live sustainably, use less and share even more. This fallthey are focusing on child hunger today are premiering an original documentary, titled Going to Bed Hungry: The Changing Face of Child Hunger, which reveals the power and the promise of a shared meal for families across America. It’s only 4 minutes long, and so eye opening and inspiring to see how these families work together:
It’s hard to digest that in America, there are 16 million children struggling with hunger – that’s the
population of Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago combined. It’s heart breaking that this issue falls so under the radar and happens in ALL neighborhoods – rural, urban and suburban – with 1 in 5 children unaware where their next meal is coming from. It often goes so undetected and one of these children could be someone you know and from your community.
To help shed light on this issue and be a part of the solution, I’m partnering with Unilever Project Sunlight to help rally people across the country to “Share A Meal to Help Turn the Tables on Child Hunger in America”. Our hope is to inspire people to join this initiative and cook for their communities, start food drives or simply raise awareness by talking about what’s happening in our country. They have an amazing tool kit on their site that’s filled with the facts and ways you can help.
Please watch the documentary above and I encourage you share it and to get involved. Learn more on how you can make a difference at projectsunlight.us

Lately, I’ve been all about the subscription box services. I’ve been getting some really interesting ones from all over the world — mostly beauty and fashion boxes — except for my latest discovery, Nourish Snacks!
I’m a huge snacker. With the amount that I’m on the road and my scattered schedule, I consider myself a bit of an expert in the category. (I’m on a first name basis with my deli guys.) I’m also a health nut and probably one of my biggest struggles is finding good, healthy, quick choices (my current staples are Kind Bars, pita chips and nuts), although I’m always feigning for more options, I feel so limited in having good choices. So, a subscription box service that delivers a variety of healthy snacks has my name written all over it.

Every year, taking better care of yourself should be at the top of your list of resolutions. Even if you already take great care of yourself, go above and beyond this year, you’re worth it! So my biggest resolution (and believe me I have plenty), is me! And because putting something down on paper (errr blog!), actually increases
Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting in on a breakfast for the introduction of a dermatological skincare line called Colbert MD by Doctor David Colbert, author and founder of New York Dermatology Group (NYDG). The dermatology group takes a unique, inter-disciplinary approach to total health and timeless beauty. NYDG integrates both
