So my sister Fiona recently bought this book about green beauty and the importance of taking note of what exactly we are rubbing on our face and body in hopes of all over beautiful skin. As remember not only is it important to choose wisely when picking out what you’re going to put in your body, but also what we put on our bodies. So I asked her to let us in...
The one thing about being home in Ireland on a cool late summers day is the likeliness of walking into the kitchen at lunch time to find Mama’s big steel pot bubbling away, releasing the most tantalizing rich smells of garlic and onions and the days concoction or combination of vegetables, all the aromas complimenting each other and filling our senses until...
Recently I’ve taken a trip back to my home country of Ireland for music related reasons and along with all the other delicious staples of the Irish diet that I have been indulging in, I have returned to the daily consumption of a good old cup of tea. Tea is to Ireland what coffee is to America. The comforting daily liquid that fuels our day! There’s nothing like...
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” – Robert Louis Stevenson I recently took a long flight back to the U.S with my sister and nephew. It was an hour flight to London and then and 8 hour flight to Philadelphia. And then a few days later we flew from Philadelphia...

As remember, it contains caffeine, a naturally occurring stimulant found in the leaves, seeds and fruits of dozens...
Variety is the spice life they say and I believe the same can be said of food. In today’s society with our short attention spans, we constantly want to try new foods, taste new things, eat a different meal practically every day to prevent boring our palates. We are not like our ancestors who pretty much would eat the same few staple things day in, day out. We are...
This morning on a trip to our local “Fresh Market” for some bananas and strawberries to make our usual breakfast smoothie, as I was leisurely combing the aisles, (which is something I often do in hopes of finding something new and delicious to add to my clean food fair), I was inspired to buy a bag of Almond Flour and attempt making Strawberry Banana...
The South Beach Diet , The Atkins Diet, The Lemonade Diet, The Blood Type Diet, The Flat Belly Diet, The Glycemic index Diet… diet..diet..diet , blah, blah, blah… The plethora of “diets” that have come, gone, and have still yet to make their way into our weight-loss obsessed society is enough to make your head spin, leave you ravenous, terribly...
