February 19th was Annabelles first birthday!!! I can’t believe she’s 1! I can’t believe she’s taking steps on her own! This year has been a wild and crazy ride and as tired as I’ve been I’ve loved every single second of it. In the first year I’ve kept Annabelles eating pretty healthy, she likes most […]

I first fell in love with coconut oil back in 2006 when I was living in NYC and attending the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. There are so many reasons to love it besides the fact that it taste like coconut. I grew up in the Dominican Republic with a coconut tree in my backyard (literally) […]

ack in 2006 around the time of my 25th birthday I kissed processed foods farewell. I have always had an obsession with food and dieting and health, if you’ve met my family then you know where that obsession comes from. 2006 was a turning point for me health wise. I was very, very sick and […]

Wow! I guess now I know why I’m so psycho about what goes into Annabelles belly. I was surprised that even Earths Best has a product out there that was found to have BPA in it. You’ve got to read this article. And before I forget, BPA is also found on receipts. Why is that […]
