This is one of those posts that just writes itself, because the images alone are more than I can express. This Saturday, I attended a sunset beach yoga session with the Beirut Yoga Center at Lazy B, and I must say this experience changed yoga for me. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love yoga anywhere…
Today is the day. It’s the day I looked at the laptop, and my fingers twitched to be back on the blog. The recipes and ideas have piled up and I have missed sharing them all with you. I’m making the comeback (Terminator style), with a topic that often gets me into a lot of…
I’m guilty of being someone who calls for more simplicity in our food choices. I’m constantly sharing news about how processed food is only harming us, and how we should stick to “greener” food. Though this is sound advice, nowadays, “healthier” is often much more expensive. A box of organic quinoa can easily equal up…
If you’ve been keeping up with this blog, then you know I just got back from my honeymoon in Greece and is dreading the gym. Forgive me, it has been 2 weeks since my last visit, ok, ok, 3 weeks. I’m worried that my body needs a little “oiling” and revving before getting back into…
Many many MANY apologies for being away for so long! It’s been a truly hectic month and I still don’t know how it all flew by – so before I waste any more of it babbling and nagging about work and life stresses, I’m going to go straight into today’s topic. Fasting A lot of…

I’ve noticed that many health websites or even dietetic discussions tackle mainly food and exercise – and while these are the cornerstones of healthy living, we generally tend to forget their little helpers: fluids. Briefly, I’m going to arrange the Do’s and Don’t of drinking. You’d be surprised how many calories a few shifts in…
One of the most recurring conversations I have with my fiancee is about changing dietary habits. It’s difficult for him, like many other working men, to have a healthy routine. His job requires long and unpredictable hours behind a computer and often involves fast food. This gave me an idea, how about giving you some tips on how you can…
