• Healthy Consumption for the Mind, Body, and Soul

  

  Capitalism always finds a way to win, whether we like it or not. Any exchange of dollars in a free market, even to a small local business right smack in your neighborhood, is participation in consumerism. There’s an ickiness to the notion of consumerism, let alone just typing it out or verbalizing it, right? Fortunately,…

• The Best Healthy Desserts in Los Angeles (Part 1)

  

  This is a love song to all my dessert fanatics! Respectfully, I must cordially request anybody who doesn’t have a raging sweet tooth to leave. TOTALLY kidding. However, perhaps we can convert you otherwise. Let’s be honest, here: healthy desserts in Los Angeles are plentiful to go ’round. Perhaps not in the most budget-friendly forms…not…

• Six Vegan-Friendly Ice Cream Shops in Los Angeles that are SO Good I Might Cry

  

  People know me as someone who’s an avid Pilates lover. Someone who is Erewhon-obsessed. But just as much as I love greens powders and hot lemon ginger water, I could eat ice cream like it’s my job (wouldn’t that be sort of nice? Getting paid to consume what you love most?), which I probably shouldn’t.…

• In Honor of National Ice Cream Month…

  

  …in general, it is TREMENDOUSLY challenging for me to select one favorite dessert. Coffee cake any day. Mango sticky rice until I die. A whole plate of chocolate chip cookies will win me over more quickly than a diamond ring. Peanut butter chickpea blondies….OOF. Having said that, ice cream holds an incredibly special place in…

• Hotspot Review: Go Greek Yogurt

  

  A little more than a year ago, frozen yogurt broke up with me by giving me the absolute worst, most nauseating and dizzying stomachache and headache anyone could ask for. I dunno. He probably just thought I was “too healthy” for his type and decided to call it off. Hey–I still eat junk! Everything in moderation,…
