Oh my Gosh! I just made the yummiest, creamiest, most INCREDIBLE raw vegan Mamey Sapote Ice Cream!!! I found frozen mamey in a local hispanic market, added a few bananas & a cup of coconut cream, a TB or two of raw honey, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and lots of cinnamon and topped it with Goji Berries. Wow!!! Amazing!! It tastes just like Pumpkin Pie!!! Ooooh I bet I could add a thickener like coconut butter or even psyllium and it would make a super duper raw vegan Pumpkin Pie. I also made Divine Durian Ice Cream, with two packages of frozen durian, 2 TB honey, 2 bananas & 1 1/2 C Coconut Cream. Ahhhh heavenly. I topped it with fresh Blueberries, but Strawberries would be fabulous too. Yum!! Durian & Coconut Cream is a blissful, spectacular combination. So Luscious!! I like my raw vegan ice cream kind of melted, like a cold creamy pudding, but I want to get some guar gum and experiment to see if it makes ice cream creamier and thicker without frozen particles. Hmmm....I made awesome Green Juice yesterday, with lots of Celery, Cucumber, Gotu Kola, a big lemon, some fresh Turmeric Root, Garlic, Ginger, Apples. Really terrific & what a Buzz!!! Yay!!!!

Hi everybody! Wow, I've been so busy lately with all the brand NEW & exciting clothes I'm adding to my Bikini sites. This week it's these comfy & pretty Yoga Pants below. I love these! Thanks to my very talented photographer, Mr. Frabasilio, I have model pictures of all these new items, plus the Sun Hats. Last weekend was so warm & summery!! Perfect for model pictures & Sunset Coast Cruising. I wore my brand new Jean Leggings out dancing! So light, cool, comfortable & fun. I adore these leggings & am buying more! I danced for hours in them. Tonight it's drizzling & I'm hopping around my room doing my taxes. That's not very fun at all!!

I'm still totally in Love with aloe vera & gotu kola and am having 2 Green Smoothies every day, plus of course my giant dinner salad. Go Greens! I bought several CUTE juicy perky little baby Aloe Plants this week and can't wait until they grow big so I can start using & eating them. They have beautiful plump leaves and taste less bitter than the variety of aloe I've been eating. I've eating way less chocolate, thanks to all the extra greens & aloe I think. Plus I have TONS of energy & feel totally fantastic!! I'm sprinkling quite a bit of cayenne powder on my dinner salads too...I had to work up to it, but now I love it!! Cayenne pepper is supposed to be really good for you and helps your heart, rebuilds new red blood cells, heals ulcers, eliminates toxins and aids digestion. Wow!! It's also really good in fresh guacamole :) I have a new big idea for dessert time, a lower calorie, fruity based sweet treat to help me forgo cacao at night :) I will start doing kitchen creations & concoctions soon & report back. Have a wonderful week everybody & be kind to all Animals & Bugs!!

Whoo Hoo! It's been a SUPER duper FUN week!! It was sunny summery & gorgeous today, yet it poured rain on Monday. Crazy!! The plants loved it, everything is green & washed clean. I am way too excited about juicing my fresh Gotu Kola, which I really want to start growing. I've been making really intense yummy green juices with cucumbers, celery, fresh turmeric, gotu kola, garlic, spinach, cilantro, lemon & apples. Yum!! My boyfriend thinks they taste horrible, so you might too. Ha!! I'm pretty used to severely green juice though. My body loves them!! I've also been SO obsessed with aloe drinks. I got some fantastic amazingly yummy Lychee & Aloe drinks in Little Saigon & I've been having them for dessert. And mangosteen juice. Wow!! They're incredible!!! And a little naughty, but they are sweetened with sugar cane so not too bad.

I finally, this morning, for the first time EVER, used real fresh aloe, just picked, in my daily Green Breakfast Smoothie. I used about 3 inches. Just blended it up with all the organic spinach. I could barely taste it!!!! Then I licked a piece of aloe by itself and totally gagged. Yuck!!!! So bitter!!!! Blends up really well with sweet juice though. I felt so super turbo charged afterwards that I made another green smoothie later!!! Then made a bunch of Gotu Kola juice, then of course had my usual enormous eye popping Dinner salad of organic spring mix, home grown sprouts, seaweed, avocado, hempseed oil dressing with lime & orange juice & grape tomatoes. Hmmm, lychee juice for dessert I think!!! I finished 8 brand new herbal tinctures this week, which will be up in all their glory soon. I've been taking one of them & feel fabulous. I've been so busy with the Bikini sites, adding LOTS of new products. Yoga clothes!! Men's Thongs!! Long Sarongs!! Sun Hats!! More Skinny Jean Leggings!! Oh my, what will be next? Am working like crazy to get all these new items up SOON. And get all 5 sites looking beautiful of course. Whew!!! Have a wonderful weekend everybody and be kind to all animals & bugs, even funny looking ones :)

Oh my Goodness! It's been a super exciting very busy ultra stimulating week filled with fruit adventures!! See my NEW PICTURES here! And the Bikinis are selling like crazy. Yay!! Thank you world, for buying lots of bikinis in the middle of winter. I'm shipping teensy tiny skimpy bikinis to France, Denmark, Kazakhstan (Wow!!) and LOTS to Canada. It's thrilling because I'm able to buy cute NEW items, like these movie star glam Sun Hats and sexy Skinny Jean Leggings. These leggings are so amazing!! Everyone thinks they're just really tight jeans. When I tell them they're leggings, they come right up & touch the fabric because they don't believe me. Ha!!! So comfy. I LOVE them!! I have a big collection going now, so I'll be adding MORE styles online :) I just sent out my Valentines Day SALE newsletter featuring them.

My boyfried & I have been going to our favorite asian stores a lot this week and I've become obsessed with Aloe Vera drinks. I'm so hooked on them!! They have little aloe gel pieces floating around, which I know sounds yucky, but they're SO good. I want to grow tons of aloe so I can make my own fresh healthy aloe drinks. We also went to a big Latino market and I was overjoyed to find my favorite brand of exotic frozen fruit, Goya, which makes Lucuma, Guanabana, Cherimoya, Passion Fruit, Guava and MORE!!! Yay!!

But the most thrilling discovery of the week was when I found out, at 2am in the morning, all hyper, on the computer, listening to trance music, that Gotu Kola is also called Pennywort. Wow!!!! This is huge :) Because I had noticed a weedy looking green called Pennywort in the produce section of the asian market but didn't realize it was actually Gotu Kola, the famed memory & brain booster & overall youth enhancer. It's supposed to increase your mental abilities and even improve the elasticity & youthfulness of your skin! Whoo Hoo!!! The next day we raced right over & I bought 4 huge bunches. I tasted a leaf & was greatly alarmed because it was incredibly bitter & strong. Oh dear!! Could I ever make drinkable juice out of this?? Well, I juiced 1 bunch today, along with celery, carrots, ginger, fresh turmeric, garlic, baby bok choy, Italian parsley, cilantro, 2 lemons, and a bunch of divine black grapes. And it was SO yummy!!! The grapes either totally saved it, or it's not as bitter when it's juiced. I'm especially delighted, because I take Gotu Kola in my Smarty Pants tincture, but the fresh green juice must be so much more potent than the dried herb!! I'm going to forgo the cilantro, parsley & bok choy next time and it will probably be even sweeter. Hooray for Brain Boosting & Youth Enhancing!!!!

So there will be lots more Gota Kola juicing (does in grow all year?? Can I grow it myself??) tight Skinny Jeans and Sun Hats wearing, and aloe drinking going on here. And beach rides of course :) We saw such a gorgeous sunset up the coast last weekend. Every sunset is so different & glorious!

On a very sad note, we will all miss Sarah Burke. She was so brave, beautiful & talented!! An awe inspiring athlete. Living her life to the fullest, doing what she loved most. My heart goes out to her family. Every moment is so precious! And we don't know how many moments we have. Enjoy every one of them!

Hi everybody! Wow, this whole week was SO warm & sunny!!! In the 80's, with big huge crashing waves. I got to ride on my boyfriend's handlebars as he biked home from surfing at sunset, towing his longboard, on the rockiest roughest trail I've ever seen. Yikes!! Huge rocks!! That was a really FAST harrowing, thrilling, scary ride!! My bare legs were sticking straight out as we went bumping & bouncing over all those sharp dangerous looking rocks & I was clinging on for dear life. Ha!! We also took two spectacular long sunset rides along the coast to Palos Verdes, and got beautiful bright pink sunset pictures. Yay!! Those will be up soon. Check out our NEW Pictures of Talia & I modeling her gorgeous handmade jewelry!

I'm making a batch of raw vegan Chocolate Orange Persimmon mini pies right now. Whoo Hoo!!! Kind of by accident. Ha!! I had some raw superfood trail mix I'd made that I had sprinkled with raw cacao powder. I added 1 TB of orange zest, some dates & a sprinkle of salt & mixed that into dough for the little crusts, and then I mixed up hachiya persimmons with cinnamon & dates for the filling. Wow, so Yummy!!! I love this combo. I'm eating one right now. It's not quite done, but it's so delicious I couldn't help myself :) It's all warm from the dehydrator & goes pretty well with the Bubleurum Frankincense tea I'm drinking!

12/31/2011

Happy New Year everyone!! Yay!!!!! Hello 2012!!! Hope you all had wonderful holidays. I had tons of fun in Seattle with my family. I think I actually lost weight over Christmas?? Crazy!! Admidst mountains of luscious dark chocolate at my parents house & all kinds of treats, I found myself in a workout frenzy. A frenzy!! It was fun :) My parents have an elliptical machine, like I do at home, so I did that twice a day for 40 - 50 minutes, plus I did quick little intervals of sit-ups, squats & arm exercises all throughout the day. I think the interval training really helped to burn calories!!

I did eat dark vegan chocolate but tried to avoid the other treats. I made green smoothies for all of us everyday, vegan vanilla coconut protein drinks with pea protein (my favorite kind!!)& cinnamon & cardamom. Yum!!! On some days I had TWO green smoothies. Plus huge dinner salads with yummy organic spinach, spring mix, nori, sprouts, creamy avocados and fresh raw vegan dressing every night. I felt fantastic and my family loved everything too. I bought 42 paperback books at the thrift store and spent many blissful hours by the fire and the Christmas tree all snuggled up reading & sipping green tea. It was a lovely & magical time with my family. And I feel skinnier for New Years!!! Whoo Hoo!!!! Have a super FUN fabulous weekend everyone!! Please be careful & keep your PETS inside, lots of beloved pets are lost on New Years because they get scared of the fireworks...

12/19/2011

She's made several, and I am overjoyed to eat them. Her crust is really fabulous!! I wanted to try making little pies, with a crisper crust just for fun, and I LOVE making them. They're SO yummy!! I'll put new recipes up on Best Beauty Foods soon. Have a lovely, yummy and happy delightful holidays everyone!!!! Be kind to everyone, let your friends & loved ones know how much you love & appreciate them and all animals & bugs. It's their happy holidays too!!!

12/12/2011

What a spectacular full moon weekend!! The moon has been so big bright white & beautiful for days now. I've been having tons of fun making raw vegan food with Veggie Vibes. I helped cater a party with them, for a super cool & well known raw food & superfood company. I also went on a totally fun & beautiful drive all through Naples to look at the spectacular Christmas lights!! The houses along the water ways go all out. Wow!! What a fantastic holiday display!! The houses are all lit up, glowing with rainbow colors in the dark night, the lights reflecting on the water. And people are strolling along enjoying them, and riding by in little boats too. It's SO magical!! We tried to drive through Balboa Peninsula too, but it was too crowded, we'll have to go back. So many cute stores there! I'm sure there are tons of gorgeous lit up houses & holiday displays. Fun!!

I got to share yummy Veggie Vibes food with a bunch of friends over the weekend, and was inspired to make a bright Pink Cabbage Salad (below left) and a marinated Kale & Red Cabbage Salad. Omg both turned out SO good!!! The Pink Cabbage salad has tons of different crunchy fresh veggies in a creamy ginger Tahini sauce, and the Kale Salad is just kale & red cabbage marinated in a creamy garlic Tahini sauce. Really exciting flavors!! Fun to share because they're so vibrant & colorful. Really satisfying & filling too, probably because they're so crunchy, perfect for dinner. Please sign up for my Best Beauty Foods Newsletter (upper right corner) because I'll have these Recipes up soon! I also made some little Blackberry Mini Pies today. So cute!! The crusts are dehydrating right now, along with slices of bananas, persimmons & plums for a dried fruit mix. They're so sweet, they taste like candy! Mmmmm....I made special magic tea tonight with hibiscus flowers, blue lotus flowers & rehmannia root & am going to drink it with blackberry pie in a little bit. I love this tea, I just invented it, it's so delicious & a bright red pink color. Soon I'll add it to my collection of unique Teas. Have a lovely week everyone!!

12/8/2011

Whew!! Been busy lately! Selling bikinis & making yummy raw vegan delights :) I just made this Raspberry Chocolate Cake the other night, and it turned out really good. I have tons of fresh blackberries right now, so I need to make blackberry pie next!! Went on a gorgeous drive along the coast last night & we had a spectacular Sunset picnic dinner with special treats made by Chef Perkunas of Veggie Vibes. It was so fun!! Cold but so clear & beautiful.

I'm getting excited because soon I'm going to be buying some brand NEW bikini styles for all my Bikini sites. Yay!!! So I'm busy eating a watermelon right now (for dessert!! To prevent late night chocolate eating :) and shopping, fantastizing about which dresses, mini skirts, tops & bottoms to buy. They're all super skimpy. Ha!!! Seriously, they are blowing my mind right this minute from their sheer cuteness. Tutus!!! Sequins!!! Tiny scrunchy brazil bikini bottoms!! Just looking at them makes me want to do squats & sit-ups. Oh dear!! Sigh, I have drawers full of brand new ultra teeny tiny sexy bikinis that I've never worn because I'm too shy. Hmmm...when I'm going to start wearing all these spectacular bikinis?? When I'm eighty? Yikes, hopefully not. Ha!!! Hope you are all having a gloriously happy week. It's been super sunny & pretty here, but kind of chilly. Ok, back to shopping, staring, eating bites of watermelon & dreaming of bikinis :)

11/28/2011

How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was perfect, small, simple & cozy!! We had some extra Yummy food from the amazing Chef Perkunas of Veggie Vibes. I did not overeat or stuff myself as I have on other Thanksgivings. Yay!! That was good. I was trying to practice the Secrets of looking Thin After Thanksgiving that I wrote, so thank heavens I actually followed them. Ha!!! :) On Black Friday, Talia & I celebrated by not shopping at the mall...at all!!! And instead we drove out into the country to pick the best & most beautiful organic pineapple guavas, tropical guavas, persimmons, palm fruit & pomegranates. I have Videos of most of these rare Exotic Fruits! We got to taste 10 different types of rare pomegranates! Super sweet ones with tiny seeds that burst in your mouth. I also loved the Hong Kong Pink variety of guavas we tasted. Yum!! Then we went on a big sunset hike & had a super yummy garden fresh salad for dinner, followed by chocolate, of course :)

The rest of the weekend was super sunny & warm. I visited a fun bazaar by the beach, made beautiful beet & carrot veggie juice & went on pretty drives. Relaxing and fun!!! Here are the SEATTLE Pictures from when I visited in the summer!! I'm catching up on Pictures! Only a few months behind. Ha!!!!! And I just emailed out my Newsletter. Have you subscribed yet? In the upper right hand corner :) don't miss out!

11/15/2011

Did you all have a spectacular 11/11/11? I hope so!! It was a magical weekend, especially with the full moon. So much energy! It's a good time to purge all the unwanted negative things from your life that are draining you or causing you stress and only attract positive energy to yourself. Prepare for the new year!! Are there things you don't like in your life? Maybe things, situations or relationships that are affecting you in a negative way? Use your strength to change, transform, and end these right now. It's time for New beginnings! Life is too short to waste your precious time with negative situations or people. Start saying positive affirmations to yourself all day long. It sounds silly, but it works!! Especially if you start now, it will soon be automatic, like a soundtrack that plays in the back of your mind :)

I was lucky enough to see the most stunning sight...we were on a sunset cruise passing through the Long Beach Harbor, and I saw an enormous cruise ship setting out to sea. So we sped down through the harbor, down past all the huge seafood packing warehouses (stinky!!) chasing this wondrous floating city and caught it just in time, with a big full moon behind it! Wow!!!! It was a beautiful sight to see. Sight to Sea!!! And just before Sunset, we had parked right beneath a cluster of palm trees with a large flock of chattering parrots who were settling down to sleep. So cute!! Grooming each other in pairs, flying from tree to tree, hopping around, trying to get comfy & go to sleep. Luckily they didn't decide to drop anything on our heads :) it's dangerous parking right beneath a huge flock of birds in a convertible. Ha!!!

I've been lucky enough to be helping Chef Perkunus and sampling his lovely & totally delicious healthy raw vegan creations. Wow!! Yum :) Check out his special Thanksgiving menu for next week. Pumpkin Bread...Pumpkin Pie....Oh My!!!! Please sign up for my Newsletter (upper right) for more news & Stay tuned for new Pictures & a Brand New video coming SOON :)

I've been SO busy lately!! Last week I cat sat 7 feral cats. All adorable, all super hyperactive, rescued by my amazing & wonderful friend. There is a group of feral cats at his work, and he has been taking care of them for a couple years now, feeding them, getting them fixed. He adopted as many as he could :) They are very lovable & so grateful that he is kind enough to care for them. So last week was pretty frisky, feline & friendly. Ha!! This past weekend I was so excited to be able to help Perkunas & Erika of Veggie Vibes create this week's totally delicious healthy & spectacular menu for delivery. Perkunas is lightning fast in the kitchen; a genius at work, blending, juicing, chopping stirring, mixing, and dehydrating. His raw vegan pizzas are out of this world!! Everything he makes is totally outstanding with amazing & unique flavors. Each fantastic yummy creation is a work of art & labor of love!!

This week has been SO Sunny & beautiful!! I've been filming & catching up on Bikinis. And eating a lot of watermelons!! But by now you've probably guessed that :) Right? Ha ha!!!!

11/5/2011

So spectacularly Sunny & Gorgeous today! Had so much fun celebrating Talia's birthday with her :) Made Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies that were AMAZING!! I was suprised how yummy there were. I think I've discovered a SECRET to making good brownies and I'm excited to make different flavors, like lemon bars, and other fruity flavors. Yum!! Please sign up for the Best Beauty Foods Newsletter because this recipe for these raw vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies is going to be in the very next newsletter!! For more incredible raw vegan desserts, please see our Recipe Section! I'm still amassing great quantities of Watermelons, and eat at least 1 every day, with a green smoothie, a big glass of Veggie Juice, and a large salad for dinner. I've really cut back on my chocolate eating!!!! Maybe the watermelons are taking away my chocolate cravings? Hmmm...interesting!!

11/3/2011

It seems like everybody's costume is extra fantastic & cute this year. I love seeing all the different ones!!!

I'm still eating a watermelon everyday, with a big huge glass of veggie juice. I added my Green Smoothies back in (yikes, been making some with organic baby ARUGULA!!! They actually taste SO Good!!) and extra large wonderful Salads. I got SO MANY gorgeous glorious organic GREENS at the store last week. Wow!!! Yikes, I bought SO many (ummm....too many!!) plus 12 watermelons. It caused a big commotion in the store!! Ha!!!! Everyone was staring at my cart and more people were alarmed when I starting checking out. Ha!!! I really want to go back to just watermelons & veggie juice though, and do another fast. Maybe when I eat up all these beautiful greens & hopefully stopy myself from buying more. They're just too tempting in the fridge when I have them!! All crunchy & vibrant & wanting to get eaten. It's hard to ignore them & only eat watermelon, because then they pout & start to go limp. We've had such amazing Sunny outstanding Indian Summer weather lately. So nice out!!!! Everyone have an Excellent & Exciting & safe Halloween!!!! Here's my new favorite SUPER DUPER SECRET WEIGHTLOSS TIP: Do You Want to Avoid eating Candy & Treats this Halloween? Fill up on Watermelon first!!!! It works :) Those Halloween sweets may taste good, but they're so bad for you :( and will make you feel lousy later. Say no & you'll feel friskier in your costume and the next day!!! Or Indulge your sweet tooth in a Healthy way with raw Vegan Dark Chocolate or these Superfood Dessert Recipes :)

10/22/2011

OMG I'm on DAY 6 of my FAST!! Can you believe it???? My first ever REAL FAST!!! I've lost 7 lbs, and weigh 98 lbs right now. I can't stop wearing my skinny jeans. Ha!! They've never fit before! I feel fantastic. I'm still fasting on Watermelon & Veggie Juice. Watermelon is perfect because it's SO filling!! I'm still eating about 1 - 2 small/medium watermelons a day plus a huge glass of Veggie juice, sometimes more. This morning I made a big batch of Bok Choy, Arugula, Cilantro Celery GREEN JUICE with lemons, ginger, garlic, apples, fresh turmeric. Picture below! Hmmmm...hopefully it's not too terrible. Ha!!! I haven't tried it yet. I'm working out once a day for 30 minutes...I usually do twice a day of 30 - 40 minutes. But since I'm fasting I decided to take it easy. Except for the other night at Halloween Haunt, where I raced around like a hyperactive hamster for 5 straight hours in the cold night air on almost zero calories :) Wheeeee!!!

On Thursday night I went to Knott's Scary Farm with a friend and WOW!!!! We had SO much fun!!!! We go every year, I love it. We went on a ton of rides, 12 haunted Mazes, and saw so many ghosts & monsters!!! We went on Silver Bullet 3 times right away (it's our very favorite) it's so beautiful over the water....and we also rode on the new Swing Ride that's 300 feet up in the air!! Whoo Hoo!!!! Also La Revolucion, which we love, and then we went on a bunch of other rides too. I still haven't tried the Xcelerator but I will get brave one of these times. It's so spooky & exciting running through the park at night :) especially Ghost Town, with all the fog machines going & the ghouls lurking in the mist. Eeek!!! It's a wonderful magical time, I love it. I wish I could go 10 times. We totally lucked out, there weren't many people there (usually it's SO crowded) so there were short lines to everything & we got to race through the entire park all night long without the huge crowds. Have a beautiful day everyone & stay JUICY!!!! Will update again soon :)

10/19/2011

WOW, Halloween is almost here!! That's exciting & shocking. BRAND NEW PICTURES Here!! Of some of our favorite Beach lookouts from driving up & down the California Coast. Which I could do endlessly, in a convertible, with music & snacks :) I am proud & very surprised to announce that I'm on DAY 3 of a FAST. Omg!!! I'm fasting!!!! And I have all kinds of yummy treats & chocolate in the fridge too!!! Yes, unbelievable. Don't be too impressed though, it's just because I have a stomach bug so I barely have any appetite at all :( I've eaten 2 melons a day for 2 days, and today I've eaten 2 melons & am drinking a large glass of yucky super intense veggie juice right now. Ick!!! I juiced all my greens & produce in the fridge since I knew I couldn't eat them in time...so this veggie juice has carrots, beets, ginger, fresh turmeric, garlic, bok choy, arugula, celery, cilantro, lemons, tomatoes....hmmm...yuck...All I really want is watermelon right now. Isn't that funny? Nothing else sounds good, not even chocolate!! Now that's shocking. Ha!! I haven't weighed myself, but I can tell I've LOST SEVERAL POUNDS. Hmmm, quick find the skinny jeans!! Ha!!!!!

Last weekend besides our usual extra super FUN Coast Cruising, we went to the Asian Market and combed EVERY AISLE for interesting things. It was so fascinating!!!! There are SO MANY herbs & dried mushrooms there. All types!!! We bought a lot of exciting greens, fresh produce & exotic mushrooms, and more young coconuts & coconut cream. Yay!!! We like to freeze our coconut cream in ice cube trays to use in recipes & also to make frozen fruit ice cream with, using our Champion Juicer. Yum!!!!!

Are you all ready for Halloween? I'm still not quite sure what I'm going to be yet. I just put out my HALLOWEEN SALE Bikini Newsletter, which has some very cute & spooky Halloween costume ideas :) I'll have some NEW Videos up soon, so stay tuned. Want more news & updates? Follow me on Twitter!

There are so many opportunities for us to show love & compassion everyday, and so many people & animals that need it from us!

I made 2 HUGE batches of chocolate today, my raw vegan dark chocolate and also my raw vegan dark chocolate coconut fudge, for a party this weekend. YUM!! And of course I ate way too much doing, uh, taste testing :) Ha!!! Mmmm...I think I need to eat a piece or two right now. I'm going to eat some with my new Triphala tea, which is an excellent detoxer, rejuvenator, & totally good for you, but seriously nasty tasting. Maybe I should drink the tea after the chocolate. Ha!! Stay tuned for a BRAND NEW Chocolate Video coming very SOON!!

This last weekend we went to a fantastic party & drum circle beneath the stars on a warm balmy friday night, and had a super delicious raw vegan Orange Chai Cake, made by the marvelously talented Bianca Eden. Yum!! Talia & I may have to retire from being bikini models just so we can eat cake like that everyday. Ha!!!!! Then we cruised up & down PCH through the beach towns, went to Little Saigon, got fresh rambutan, lychees, jackfruit, coconuts & sugar cane juice. Ooooh, I love rambutans now!!! More than lychees!!! We bought some insanely sweet figs from Barry Koral. We visited a magical white sapote grove & picked big huge beautiful white sapotes & Jamaican Lilikois too. Wow, soooo much fun :) Hard to go back to work after an amazing weekend like that. But hey, next weekend is coming up fast!

Other than those fruitful day trips, I've been making NEW tinctures (Dynamo for extra energy & Dessert Destroyer to help keep you -and me- from eating sweets) and I've also been giving food & water to the sweetest & cutest stray cat ever. She's so tiny & skinny!! She looks so small & young, half starved & is nursing kittens :( She's * bursting* with love & affection. She's all black with a white diamond on her chest. As soon as her kittens are old enough, I want to get her spayed to help prevent more hungry stray kitties. Poor baby girl, it's a hard hungry life for homeless kitties. Anyway, have a glorious week everybody, and get ready for Labor Day Weekend!!!!

Wow!!! I had such a SUPER FUN exciting trip to Seattle!!! I went on tons of hikes through the forest and to the beach, picked huckleberries & blackberries, walked all over downtown, along the waterfront, ate big yummy amazing salads and made incredible green kale smoothies everyday. It's so interesting to completely change your workout for a week! Instead of running & jump roping, I was hiking up big huge hills twice a day. I felt terrific!! We got to check out several different Whole Foods too, that's always exciting :) And I tried a really cool veggie juice by Evolution called Essential Greens, it had kale & celery, cucumber & sprouts in it! It was flash pasteurized since it was store bought, but I was really impressed. It's a great way to get your green juice on the fly, if you can't make it yourself or go to the juice bar. I will have my Seattle pictures up soon, but for now, here's some BRAND NEW Bikini Pictures of Talia & I at the Beach! I just got home a few days ago & did a massive shopping trip. I filled up the ENTIRE fridge with greens. I need to hurry & make fresh veggie juice! I got tons of fresh turmeric. Plus I got fresh Jackfruit & figs yesterday, had some black sapotes for dessert last night. Yum!!!

8/3/2011

Such a super FUN long Exciting Adventurous weekend with friends! Lots of fruit foraging, hiking, coast cruising, beach running and making yummy raw vegan salads, fresh juices and chocolate. I made raw vegan dark chocolate fudge with coconut that's been a huge hit! Also onion crackers, which is a new flavor for me. My friends & I went to a bunch of different beaches up & down the coast, took LOTS of bikini pictures for BikiniFlirt, picked black & white sapotes & Jamacian liliquoi and then went to Little Saigon for fresh Jackfruit, rambutan, lychees, jujubees and sugar cane juice. YUM!! Rambutans are SO sweet & yummy and they must be in season right now because they were cheap. I love Rambutans!!!!! We also went on a beautiful magical hike in the forest, thrift store shopping, $1 store shopping, and had an amazing lunch at the Greenery. We went dancing too!! I love going dancing :) We took lots of pictures and I'll post them soon! I'm going out of town (can I take rambutans on the airplane??) but I'll post pictures from our adventures when I get back. I should be packing Right This Minute but I'm trying to make Onion Crackers & Chocolate Coconut fudge at the last minute :) My suitcase will be full of food with no room for clothes :0 Have a wonderful week everybody!!

Hi everybody! Brand New PICTURES here! You can see the Lizard in my Bed, the Seagull that I saved, and the Beaches I've been to lately. Wow, can you believe it's almost August? Incredible!! Summer is flying by! I've been having tons of fun, going on a lot of easy breezy topless convertible rides up and down the coast, watching the sunset from different beaches. The sun looks HUGE going down behind Long Beach Harbor. Enormous!! That was a spectacular sunset, and so fun watching the full moon rise later that evening. That was last Fri. Then Sat was down the coast to San Diego and Sun was back up the coast again. Yay!! Tomorrow I'm going with a friend to visit a farm out in the country and pick fruit, then to a waterfall. Wow! Waterfalls around here? Fabulous!! I'll try to take pictures :)

I'm growing wheatgrass and spelt grass right now, I sure hope they turn out emerald green & beautiful. I'm also growing TONS of sprouts in jars! Mung, fenugreek, alfalfa, red clover and radish. I haven't used lettuce in my salads all week! Just lots of fresh sprouts with seaweed, tomatoes, persian cucumbers & shredded carrots. Do you know that fenugreek can make you smell better if you eat it? And also make your breasts bigger girls? Hee hee...it's true!! Even Dr. James Duke, famous herbalist, says so. It's one of the ingredients in my Best Breasts Herbal Elixir which will be available soon.

I've also been hard at work on Bikini Site #4, staying up until 2am, eating chocolate & dancing around, but mostly working. Making lots of new herbal elixirs, and making SO much raw food!! Kale chips, flax crackers, raw vegan superfood Chocolate and Danger Mix. I made the Danger Mix for friends, but now I'm eating it, which is so naughty. Omg, it's SO incredible!! Very addictive. It's a special trail mix blend I made up covered in my dark chocolate. I used to call it Bliss Mix. But it's too dangerous, ha!! I've also been making dehydrated Bananas & Fruit Bars. Wow, these treats will make you VERY POPULAR. Be warned :) I made some on a whim, now I'm having to crank them out :) I will try to include a few Recipes on my next Best Beauty Foods Blog! Here it is below. And it looks so innocent. Ha!! Here is my NEW Best Beauty Foods Newsletter with my raw vegan Berry Cheesecake Recipe. It's SO yummy!!

Hi everybody! How was your 4th of July? Mine was fantastic, I wore my USA bikini, went to the beach, watched fireworks with friends, and ate fruit for dinner :) It's been so hot & sunny lately. Gorgeous summer weather! I have a BRAND NEW VIDEO, Weight Loss Secrets on the Road where I share my 3 favorite yummy drinks that are so low cal and high energy! I try to drink them everyday, and I'm so full that I don't snack much anymore. I drink those 3 drinks, then a salad for dinner, and I'm trying to eat fruit for dessert instead of chocolate. Or at least less chocolate, ha! Since it's bikini season. I just wrote an article of Weight Loss Secrets for Bikini Season which I'm trying to follow :)

Please be sure and sign up for my newsletter (upper right corner) because I'm sending one out soon! I'm also writing one for Best Beauty Foods. Our featured person of the month is the Extraordinary Chef BeLive so please check him out! Besides making lots of raw vegan Kale Chips & Crackers & Chocolate and selling Bikinis, I've been busy making brand NEW herbal elixirs which will be available soon. They are a mix of Chinese & Amazon herbs for health, energy, vitality and staying slim. And I just started carrying these amazing Amazon Herb Tinctures for energy & weight loss!!

6/1/2011

Yay!! Summer is here!!! I am still in Mulberry Madness, and making fresh fruit & berry pies like crazy. Summer is perfect for making scrumptious fresh colorful desserts with ripe berries & fruit! So exciting!!!!!!

5/9/2011

Hi Everybody! Brand NEW VIDEO here, Pinecone Juggling! And NEW Pictures here! I also have a brand NEW Facebook Page for the Bikini sites, please join as a friend for diet & exercise tips, discounts, secret sales and more.

Do you know that it's Mulberry season? Yay!!! I LOVE mulberries. You can look for fresh ones, white or purple at your local farmers market, health food store, or middle eastern market. You can watch my Mulberry Video here and learn more about this amazing & sweet berry! Mulberries grow really well here in southern California, and it's a big shame there aren't more trees around. There should be mulberry trees everywhere!! And cherimoyas, figs, white sapotes, black sapotes, and guavas....lets have a fruit paradise!!! They all grow really well here, it's just that they're rare & people don't know how incredible these exotic fruits are!! Have a fun & fruity week everyone :)

Happy Spring everybody! Brand NEW Pictures here! Yay!! I'm SO glad it's spring. I LOVE cruising up & down the California coast on sunny days. Especially in a convertible! We've had gorgeous sunny weather lately, and I've been going on lots of adventures. Getting lots of fresh jackfruit too! I got some super yummy dried jackfruit last time I went to Little Saigon. It's amazing! Really light sweet & crispy. It tastes like it's been freeze dried? Hmmm, mysterious & soooo tasty. I bought a BUNCH of green superfood powders for my daily breakfast Green Smoothie. Wheatgrass powder, Alfalfa, and Barley Grass. I do 1 TB of each in my smoothie, plus 1/2 TB spirulina & Chlorella, along with a banana, 2 cups of juice or so, and 2 cups of fresh spinach, kale or a mix of both. It's *very* intense with so much powder though, I may have to cut back. Ha! It's SO filling. It fills me up for hours!!!! I've been selling lots of Cute Bikinis, you can read my newest Bikini Newsletter!

I'm also super excited because I'm making some really cool herbal tinctures with special herb formulations for different health conditions, more energy, longevity, etc. Yay!! I'm listening to little baby birds right now, chirping for food. There's a nest right outside the window. Too cute!!!! Please drive carefully and watch for animals. So many babies being born right now, and hyper squirrels & scared oppossum mothers with babies in their pouches trying to cross busy streets :( Animals & birds aren't always as fast as drivers assume....they can't always get out of the way in time. Please watch out for them :)

Hi everybody! Brand NEW Pictures here! I posted in my Best Beauty Foods Blog my top picks & favorite treats from the Natural Products Expo a couple weeks ago. And Kenny Maxfield is our featured Gardener of the month, read his amazing story & learn what he grows in his terrific Tropical garden!! I've been making so many kale chips & green crackers lately :) I've been giving away a lot to friends! I tried putting a tiny bit of fresh thyme in both and wow, so yummy!! Strong flavor from just a little bit. I've also been making lots of raw vegan dark chocolate, just using palm sugar as the sweetener. So good!! Even my mailman loves it!! :) He said he wants to try my kale chips next. Hooray for kale chips!

3/10/2011

Oh BOY! Soooo excited about the Natural Products Expo this weekend! Yay!!! Ooooh, endless natural food & beauty samples, yummy treats, fun & fabulous friends & dancing!!! Last weekend my friends & I had a totally super time at Chef BeLive's birthday party in downtown LA in the fashion district. So much fun dancing and tons of terrific people!

I've been making tons of Veggie Juice, Kale Chips and CHOCOLATE this week! I've been making raw hard chocolates (2nd pic from left and on far right) and dusted chocolate balls (far left) & I invented some raw vegan Vanilla Coconut Shortbread (3rd pic from left) with almonds & mulberries which turned out so yummy. I meant to make white chocolate, but the coconut flour turned it into shortbread instead :) Really tasty and great texture!! Everyone who has tried them loves them, including a very cute 7 yr old. Am still trying to stay on my Extra Green Diet ( except for all the chocolate taste testing I have to do, Ha!!!!!) and I love it. Am drinking a HUGE cold glass of Veggie Juice w/ fresh Turmeric right now. It's a beautiful red orange color, from the beets, turmeric & carrots. Turns your lips a lovely shade!! Much better than having green lips, which I have every morning from my Green Smoothie, or brown lips from eating chocolate, which I have every night :) Have a super weekend everybody!!

3/2/2011

Happy March everybody! Spring is almost here! Yay!! BRAND NEW PICTURES Here from some Fun Sunny Summer Adventures. I'm loving my new GREEN Diet!!! I have more energy than ever. Whoo Hoo! I'm still having my Green Smoothie packed with dino kale, collards (sometimes spinach too) bee pollen & spirulina, ran out of chlorella :( almost every morning, or for lunch. Then I try to have veggie juice in the afternoon as often as I can, followed by wheatgrass, and a big sprout salad w/ seaweed in nori wraps for dinner. I made SO much veggie juice today, with FRESH Turmeric root! Yum!! I got it at an asian market. Turmeric is SO good for you! And a beautiful orange color inside. I juiced it with beets, carrots, celery, ginger, italian parsley, cilantro, collards, garlic, and a few lemons & apples & a sprig of mint.

Today an adorable 3 yr old girl came to visit, so I made her balloon animals & we bounced on my pink bed & on the exercise ball. Ha!! She loved that. I gave her & her grandpa some Palm Fruit juice and they thought it was super. It's totally YUMMY! Then she gobbled one of my raw chocolate maca balls before we could stop her, but she loved that too! So funny. I'm sure she was pretty hyper afterwards!

I got to go to some really fun events & parties last weekend, with super yummy raw vegan food & fabulous people. I also got to go to my favorite stores in Little Saigon and buy fresh Jackfruit and frozen durian. Bliss!!!!! I am SO in love with Jackfruit :) The stores I went to had huge mountains of cherimoyas. Omg, Fruit Paradise. I'm going to keep up my green diet & workout routine going so I can have endless energy and dance all night for More parties coming up!!. Yay!!! I also bought more raw chocolate making ingredients & will have to make another batch. I like to give a lot away so I don't eat it all myself, ha!!!! It isn't really on my new Green Diet, but it does sneak it's way in a lot. Have a glorious & delicious day everybody!

Hi everybody! BRAND NEW PICTURES! I've been making a lot of raw superfood chocolate lately, perfecting my recipe :) and I finally got it to stay hard at room temperature. Yay!! Today I helped my friend capture a feral male tomcat & took him to the vet to get him neutered. These poor cats have such a hard life :( living outside, constantly hunting for food and water, hiding from coyotes, trying not to get run over, and staying warm and dry.

A group of feral cats live in the parking lot of my friends building at work, and he's such an angel, he has adopted 5 of them!! They are beautiful and have made great pets. They are so lucky he saved them! The average female cat reaches puberty at 4-12 months and can have up to 3 litters per year. Cats usually live to be 16, so if she starts at 12 months that would be 3 litters per year for 15 years. That's 45 or possibly 46 litters!! A litter is usually 6-9 kittens so the average female could produce around 300 kittens. Spaying & neutering is SO important to help these animals!! There are so many homeless, unwanted or lost cats & dogs in our overcrowded shelters, plus all the feral cats trying to survive in the wild. Have a great weekend everybody, and please be kind to all animals & bugs :)

Hi everybody! Brand NEW SugarCane Juicing Video. Watch as I almost break my juicer as the gears slowly fill up with wood like Sugarcane fiber! Ah, good times. It took 2 strong men with a hammer to take my juicer apart again. Hmmm...Also, NEW (well, never before posted) PICTURES! I'm spending a sunny Saturday editing a bunch of fun pictures taken last spring & summer that I never got around to. Whew! It's so nice to catch up, and really fun to look at them and remember those pretty and exciting Wilderness Adventures.

Well, my new Super GREENS diet is working! I'm so excited. This diet plan is REALLY reducing my cravings for sweets!! I'm eating way less fruit & treats & chocolate, and I have TONS of energy. I feel lighter! Soon I wlll have a six pack. Well, hopefully! My new plan is a big Green Smoothie for breakfast (with spirulina & chlorella & bee pollen) then a few hours later, a light snack, usually Green Veggie Juice & maybe Kale Chips. Then maybe another snack, some light fruit or naughty!!!! Chocolate Bliss Mix (which isn't helping any 6 pack development!). Then several oz wheatgrass juice in the early evening, then about an hour later, a big sprout salad w/ seaweed. Dessert is a Chocolate Chia Sleeper Creeper, more fruit and/or more Bliss Mix & my own Superfood Chocolates. Hmmm...somehow it still sounds like I eat a lot of treats? Ha!! But it's way less than all the sugary fruit (3 boxes of persimmons!!!) that I was eating before. You can learn more in my current Best Beauty Foods Newsletter. I'm still doing two 30 minute workouts per day plus my own sneaky stretching/squats/sit-ups routine that I do at around midnight every night when I should be in bed!! Stay tuned....and stay Green :)

1/19/2011

Happy Full Moon everybody! Wow, I need to stop eating persimmons :) Although I did make a super scrumptious batch of Persimmon, Golden Raisin, Mulberry, Goji Berry Cookies today!! Yum, am very excited to share them with friends. I also made raw chocolate and drizzled it over fresh blackberries, and also trail mix, then set both in the fridge so the chocolate would harden up. Yummy!! I got some ultra super duper sweet pineapples this week too...I just lucked out, they taste like candy! You know that fresh pineapple makes the best face mask ever right? Just rub a piece or two over clean skin and let it sit for 10 -15 min then rinse off and moisturize. I like to use cold pressed oils like olive, coconut, etc. Bromelain, the enzyme in pineapple, dissolves old skin and makes your skin soft & glowy! I absolutely love it. Anyway, I am going to focus on greens...enough of all the sugar & fructose! (Well, except for more pineapples :) I bought a gorgeous glorious emerald green tray of wheatgrass and am juicing that & also having veggie juice. Go Greens!!!

1/1/2011

Hooray!!! Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all had a Super Fun New Year's Eve. I picked and ate about 1 million persimmons all day, then had a fun party with friends, ate yummy durian pudding, danced, and watched Fire Spinning and Hula Hooping by a crackling campfire beneath the stars and magical glowing Bliss Lights. I had a spectacular time over Christmas with my family and friends in Seattle too! Snuggling by the fire, reading, going on big walks with my dad, feeding raccoons & other wildlife, shopping for gorgeous organic greens & fun food, and driving downtown to look at the pretty lights. Plus exercising even more than usual everyday to make up for the extra chocolate I ate. Ha!! I made my parents fruit smoothies & Green Smoothies every day while I was there, and they loved them so much, they bought a Vitamix blender so they can make them everyday! Yay! They love green smoothies now, and make them for guests!

That's one of my New Year's resolutions, to have a green smoothie everyday, plus wheatgrass juice. And to keep eating lots of seaweed and sprouts everyday, and veggie juice. And to make more natural beauty products! I made a super duper Winter Skin Cream while I was in Seattle, from Shea butter, Coconut Oil, Honey, and a whole bunch of other amazing ingredients, and I absolutely Love it. Way to start the New Year....well moisturized, ha!! I just updated my Art page, with lots more pictures of the Jewelry I made in highschool. I used to roll each clay bead by hand and make a brand NEW necklace every night to wear to school the next day!! Ahhh, sweet beaded obsession....Ha!

Hi everybody! Whoo Hoo!! 2 NEW Fruit Videos Up!! I've been working on websites, running a lot, and am continuing on with my quest to eat lots of sprouts & seaweed since they are SO good for you. Will I turn into a Mermaid if I eat enough seaweed? Maybe!! I've been growing really nice fenugreek sprouts, plus sprouting a mix of alfalfa, red clover & broccoli that I really like. I also buy onion sprouts & broccoli sprouts too. I love the taste of onion sprouts!! I soak hijiki & wakame (dried seaweed) about 20 minutes before I'm ready to eat, then toss it in the salad. Dried dulse is my absolute favorite sea vegetable, and I love to cut up dried pieces of that & toss it in too. My favorite dressing is tahini, ginger, garlic, lemon, sea salt all blended up. Sometimes I'll make nori wraps with my salad (just roll up some salad in a dried nori sheet) Last week I got to have 3 incredible raw vegan dinners with lovely girlfriends. We had big sprout salads, Kale Chips, and made an amazing blended persimmon pudding for Dessert, with raw cacao, cinnamon, banana, chia, fuyu & hachiya persimmons. WOW! We giggled, sang & danced all around the kitchen, and went to the farmers market the next day. I got a gorgeous emerald green tray of wheatgrass!! Ooooh, it's almost too pretty to juice! :)

I had a Sunny Fun glorious weekend! A friend and I drove up to Valencia, then drove out to the coast to Ventura, past all the citrus orchards and nurseries. It was such a gorgeous sunny breezy day, with all the leaves changing colors! Then we drove down the coast and though Malibu. It was a spectacular pink & orange sunset! I got home and ate a really sweet pineapple for dinner :) Later that night another friend took me to an really cool Art Party at a gallery in downtown LA, near the garment district. Great outfits, interesting people, and beautiful paintings! We got home late and ate durian pudding for dessert. Yum! It was amazing. The next day I went to a farmers market to get more kale for kale chips, and went on a couple different hikes by the beach, it was sooo warm out. I've seen dolphins swimming close to shore for the past 3 days! So beautiful! Sometimes a seal will pop its head out to peek at the dolphins as they go by. Cute!!!

Welcome to my NEWLY designed site and brand NEW Blog, whoo hoo!!! I've been wanted to redesign this site for YEARS! When I first created this website (10 or more?? years ago!!) I wrote my own HTML code and edited it in notepad. I've since learned that this is a very prehistoric (and lame!) way of web designing. So I've been super busy in the last few months. I taught myself Dreamweaver so I could redo this site, create another Bikini site, BikiniSweetie, and make my new Health & Beauty site, Best Beauty Foods. Hooray!! I'm so happy they are all done now. It's been soooo many hours staring at a computer screen. Now I get to return to the fun stuff, which is filming & editing new videos, taking pictures, making raw vegan recipes, and going on adventures!! Yay!! I have 2 brand NEW fruit videos up.

I update the Best Beauty Foods Blog frequently with health related type stuff, so you can always check there too. I've been working out a lot, trying to burn extra calories before I go home for Christmas and have to fend off the piles of chocolate at my parents house. Ha!! So I've been eating tons of seaweed, sprouts, green smoothies, green juices, and exercising more. I've been eating way less dessert, which is totally miraculous. I've temporarily given up eating large (ahem...blush!!) amounts of raw chocolate & date & nut balls at night for my new favorite Chocolate Chia Sleeper Creeper. Super light, absolutely delicious, so healthy and filling!! Anyway, hope you like the new site, please check back here often for new posts and become my friend on Facebook! I post there almost everyday. You can also follow me on Twitter! Want to read older blog posts? You can peruse my past adventures in my online journal here!
