This post is the continuation of one I wrote a few weeks ago and about what detoxing and cleansing really are and what you need to know. In that post, I wanted to explain what it actually means to detox, and to discuss how it has become trendy to cleanse or detox, but that often …
Obviously, I’ve taken a break from writing here, and although I didn’t intend to, there was just no way for me to fit it in over the past couple weeks (not true, I could have crammed it in, but my head wasn’t in it). I did the Jersey Shore thing with my friends and Matthew, …

Today is a snow day in Rochester…and I’m not sure why (aside from the media hype). The storm totally missed us, but I’ll gladly use the extra hours at home to be productive (or blog and tweet!). The past 7 days have been full of soup! There aren’t really any recipes—I just put things together …
Thanks for your interest in the cilantro pesto! That stuff is great—but it is definitely more bitter than basil pesto. I’ll share the recipe with you below. I also want to tell you about a super cleansing mud mask (don’t worry, it does not involve cilantro pesto!). First, why cilantro? It’s a GREAT detoxifier, and …
