Welcome! So this is the first cocktail in our “Count Me Healthy Cocktail,” series that will run monthly. I debated whether I should blog about this particular cocktail because it is like, top secret (well, I guess not anymore). It is my go-to drink and I don’t know how the hell I came up with it (like all great things, I guess through experimentation). I didn’t name it the Chelsea Chiller because I love myself, but because it actually helps…
A Perfect Circle for Better Thighs
I’ve taken Pilates for about seven years now. I admit that recently, based on my insane schedule, I’ve had to take a break from lessons with my instructor, Crystal. I miss her company, discipline and toned arms! However, this doesn’t mean I’ve given up on doing “hundreds” exercises or Stott breathing for better abs. I’ve also kept up some other exercises using a very inexpensive piece of equipment that can be incorporated into any home gym–a Pilates circle. This circle…
80/20 Shopping in NYC… Plus Some Fave Shopping Spots!
People say that you wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time. They’ve even come out with a brand called 80/20 based on this ratio.

Dare I even say “economical” if you divide how many times I wear them by retail price (proof that ANYTHING can be justified)! Oh, and I threw…
“About Face” My Daily Facial Routine

Wrinkles, pigmentation, and sagging of facial skin can be attributed to many factors: genetics, sun worship, hormonal imbalance, poor eating, stress. So its important to try to combat these with tools like sunscreen, clean…
Mexi”can” Without Gaining Weight
Last night we went out to “Molly’s la Casita” in Midtown with four friends. Like most decent Mexican joints, Molly’s is fun as hell but also a possible diet pitfall (a dark pit of diet doom complete with cheese and refried beans). It doesn’t help that the girlfriends I was with possess “gazelle” metabolisms. Boo!! So, for those of us girls who need to go through life watching our enchilada intake, I’m here to say that yes, you can eat…
