"Omg fruit is full of sugar and so bad for you!" Have you considered that it's also full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber? And a fun fact is that our bodies need these nutrients so no, it's not the same as eating something like ice cream. Not that anything is wrong with ice cream.

Thank you so much for this article in the Today Show media for mentioning my book "Live Nourished" with other amazing authors and creators. If you are looking for a non restrictive book with an inclusive look at nutrition, "Live Nourished" might be for you!

I don't think we really need April Fools' Day since there are people who believe fruit and carrots are bad for you because of the sUgAr, all year round.

I overheard someone say that it is officially ice cream weather because it was almost 80 degrees today in NYC. While yes, ice cream is great for today, I need people to understand that ice cream is not limited to warm weather and is not seasonal. Cold? Throw on a sweater and eat it like an adult.🍦

I love when someone answers "I could eat" when asked if they want to grab food while out. It signals that they are trying to be demure about the situation, but also there is a very short window of time before that demure-ness goes out the window.

I take my holidays very seriously. And since it’s Pi Day, obviously I had to oblige. π 🍕

I don't think I will ever get over the surreal feeling of seeing my book out in the "wild" in a bookstore. I also don't think I will ever get over how horrible my handwriting is every single time I sign a book.

Happy International Women’s Day to everyone out there who realizes you don't have to be a woman to recognize today since it is a day to recognize the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.

"Omg that is full of calories and full of sugar! So bad for you!" Have you ever considered that it is also full of joy, and with the dystopian reality we're currently in that's equally important? There is room for both nutrients and joy. It's possible.

Sad? Have you tried eating a potato about it? French fries, roasted, mashed, baked, tater tots, hash browns, scalloped, gnocchi, chips, vodka. The possibilities of happiness are endless. 🍟🍠🥔

The FDA's annual meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee was cancelled. There has been a death from measles. Medicaid has been put on the chopping block. Every day since January 20th, has felt like an episode of Black Mirror. This is my face with every news alert.

Who are we making America Healthy for exactly? Cutting necessary programs and increasing taxes unless you are wealthy, seems like the opposite. So again, who is this for? (This is rhetorical.)

I fixed this post myself. Just so we're clear, we can have a difference of iced or hot coffee. But no, you cannot support a party that glorifies hate and is actively trying to take rights away from certain demographics, and expect a friendship from those same demographics. Hope this helps!

I was trying to decide between the croissant and a cinnamon bun at the coffee shop this morning so l asked the barista which one I should get and she told me to just get both. I did and it was the best advice. Thank you.

"Precut veggies are a lifesaver for someone limited in fine motor skills. It's also a lifesaver for people short on time and want to feed themselves. So no, it's not for "lazy" people and unnecessary." - What I wanted to say to the man in the supermarket snickering at them. 😑

It is the 6 month anniversary, half birthday, or whatever we want to call it, of my debut book "Live Nourished!” There's a ton of mess happening right now so l'm all about celebrating the wins no matter how big or small. Oh and it's available wherever books are sold and on audio. ☺️🎉

RIP to science. It was nice having you here while it lasted. I remember when you were a required course in school and when people didn’t believe in you, they just failed. You will be missed. 🕊️

"I know nothing about your individual body or socioeconomic status, but whatever issue you're having with your body is 100% your fault. Here's a list of how to fix it, including products I financially benefit from. And if none of this works then try harder.” - Wellness and diet culture

I really love how each Monday for the past few weeks, my coworker and I start the day asking each other what the "egg situation" is like in our respective neighborhoods. It beats the mundane "how was your weekend" because we genuinely care about the answer.

When you wake up early to do adult things like shoveling snow, but deep down you're also a kid at heart. ❤️

I cannot stress enough that if you are inviting me to an outing, I need explicit details of what the "food situation" is going to be. Trust me, it is in everyone's best interest for me not to be hangry.

Once again, I'm asking Zoom to stop deciding to automatically update itself when l'm frantically trying to join a meeting. "Oh I see you're frantically late already, let me add to your stress!" 😬

When everything is going to sh*t so you enroll in an adult ballet intensive program that put on a performance yesterday. As my dance teacher would say, "There is a lot of ugliness happening right now but at least there's always dance."

Good Morning! Buenos Dias!

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

Happy Friday and season finale of January. It has felt like 5 years total within this one month, but we finally made it. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about what's in store for February.

I went grocery shopping with the best intentions to really do some meal prep and cooking this week. Now that the week is almost done all I have in my fridge are best intentions and no meals.

I'm officially back home from Ireland. I have zero food in my fridge, a ton of laundry to do, and am going to be a bit jet lagged, but the plus side is that I will be able to sleep in my own bed.

It has been an amazing week in Ireland 🇮🇪

I’m very happy to announce a task that I’ve been putting off for a few weeks has taken me less than an hour to complete. I’m also happy to announce that I have learned nothing from this. 🙃

Me: It's just a casual week long trip. No need to overthink it. Also me:

"I'm so hungry, but I ate breakfast. I don't understand what’s going on." The breakfast in question - a cup of coffee. ☕️

I just had curry chicken with potatoes in the sauce, rice and peas, and plantains, and all I can think about is how happy the carbs in my cultural foods make me. Truly the best and highly recommend.

I'm feeling very productive today. I took down 20% of my X-Mas decorations and I started packing for my trip by putting one pair of socks in my suitcase. I rewarded myself by making cookies and by making I mean taking the premade dough out of the package and putting it in the oven. Very productive.

The hottest place to be on a Friday night if you're an elder millennial introvert is the grocery store. There is no dress code, it's not crowded, all the songs you loved as a teenager are playing on the oldies station, and you start to see all the familiar faces. Truly living.

Once again I’m giving thanks to the precooked rotisserie chicken at the grocery store. I can't even name all the times it has saved me meal prep time and has come in so handy in times of desperate last minute dinner options. Honestly the best. 10/10. No notes.

A good amount of adulthood is spent giving yourself the "we have food at home" talk over and over again.

There's someone out there ready to write a "just following up on this" email tomorrow. Please don't. We are all still in holiday mode mentally, and time doesn't exist just yet. I don't even know what day it is. Let us defrost mentally first please.

My Pilates instructor saying "just one more set" and then continuing to ask for 2 more is why I have trust issues.

I hope everyone is having a great day except the fitness trainers who talk about "burning off" or "making up" for everything you ate during the holiday.
