How To Pick An Active Vacation or Retreat (from someone who knows)
Lauren and I are no strangers to airplane rides or adventures. I’m sure our shared history traveling on Semester at Sea and desire to live FULL lives are two of the reasons we work together so well. This past year, I made it a priority to say 'yes' to as many escapes,...
My take on a blue latte AKA the Hillary latte
Yes, not a great photo I'm aware I recently read about a blue latte created at a Melbourne café. I was intrigued. My intrigue transformed into frustration at the thought that I couldn’t try this concoction. And if I’m being honest, I couldn’t Instagram this pretty...
Five Years
I’ll admit, I didn’t realize today was the anniversary. I hate using the word anniversary for something sad but I’m not sure how else to put it. On Instagram, Jen’s best friend and soul sister Alicia posted a silly photo of her (I wish I knew the two of them in...
Paleo Phil, Mickelson Wins at Weight Loss
Most people watching yesterday’s final round of the British Open were likely focused on who would win the Claret Jug (or is it mug). I watched, and although it was as exciting as golf can be, I wasn’t fixated on the jug/mug. Two topics were more interesting to me. The...

Healthy Travel- Dos and Don’ts for Airport and Airplane eating
Since I’ve been up since 4:30, (I kind of like Euro jetlag) and it’s fresh in my mind, I thought I’d offer up my two cents on airplane travel with examples from my most recent trip to Amsterdam. Outbound 8pm flight I’ll admit, I felt virtuous as I prepped for this...
Foodtrainers' Fancy Food Show Finds
Yesterday was our annual summer trip to the Fancy Food show. Basically, the Javitz Center is filled with a million food booths, some healthier than others. I have to give us a little credit and say we have become pros at the food fair thing. We didn’t eat ourselves...
Easy, Cold-brewed Iced Tea, No Boiling Required
In a session last week, a client mentioned it was too hot to drink warm tea. Even though I like hot coffee hot, regardless of weather, I agreed regarding tea. I suggested she make iced tea and she looked at me confused “do you just chill hot tea, how do you make...
Ice Cream Diet
You may know, from our newsletter this morning, that we had a Foodtrainers’ ice cream crawl. We went around the city taste testing. Sure, we tried to balance things out by walking from place to place (next year we’re going to run) but we know how that math...
