Fresh Living

Alas, but this snowy day is beyond my ability to enjoy (oh, Valerie – snow ice cream!).  Instead of dancing among the flakes, I am shuffling around the house and blowing through piles of tissues, sidelined by a completely soul-clogging headcold.  Despite my voluminous healing tea-drinking, I wound up taking Valerie’s advice over the weekend. …

Here at Fresh Living, we salute the imaginative, word-bending genius Theodore Seuss Geisel on what would have been his 105th birthday. We especially adore The Lorax, of course. I just checked out the video (see below) for the first time in years (woah groovy 1970’s soundtrack!) and got sad/happy chills re-hearing his prescient words, which…

It’s a full-on, school’s canceled snow-day here in NYC. And if you’re anywhere in the snow-zone, you too are seeing scads of the fluff out your window (or in your face). Thought it’d be a great moment to hunt down some snow recipes. Here’s one site with a bunch of great-sounding snow ice-cream recipes made…

Holly, I feel you and your sniffles! I’ve caught every little bug this year (thanks, stress!). But, in general how I kick a common cold is the following (oh and I am sooo not a medical professional, so definitely check with your doctor before taking any of my advice). 1) Load up on Emergen-C Lite. I’m a big…

Quick, help!  Sore throat/runny nose emergency!  I need your ideas for how to kick this cold out of Dodge, like NOW. I wouldn’t be so alarmed about a winter sniffle, except that I am scheduled to visit my newborn nephew this weekend, and I’d hate for his first memory of his aunt to be a)…

From Victoria Moran, Beliefnet’s incredibly talented Life Coach blogger: “I don’t always bound out of bed with grand expectations about the day ahead, but when I can hear my grandmother saying, ‘This is a day the Lord has made: I will rejoice and be glad in it,’ it helps. And when I get up at the early…
