I heart picnics so much that I’ve been known to blanket crash a few in my day. If you haven’t caught the fever, now is the time.

Your Guide to Healthy Poop
May 13, 2013
Hi Sweet Friends, I love talking turd, and I’m not ashamed to say it! Turd, turd, turd. It’s time we all stop hiding behind our toilet paper squares and start understanding one of the most important parts of our everyday well-being — poop! Sure, it’s not the sexiest of subjects, but vibrant health is pretty darn hot in my opinion. And whether you like it or not, your poo is part of that picture. Without… Read More >
What’s in my pantry?

Once you begin to collect your own favorite pantry pals, you’ll see a few things shrink: your grocery bill, your shopping list and your meal planning woes. Suddenly, half your… Read More >
How To Live in Harmony with High-Fiber Foods
April 22, 2013
Hi Sweet Friends, Sometimes when folks add more veggies and fiber-filled foods to their plate, their digestive system doesn’t cooperate very well and uncomfortable physical issues crop up. These not-so-awesome bathroom trips and embarrassing gassy moments have given fiber a bad name. But fiber really is your friend — you just have to get to know it a little better and learn a few simple fiber guidelines. Today, I hope to mend any grudges you… Read More >
Crazy Sexy Spring Picks for Health & Happiness
April 15, 2013
Hi Sweet Friends, I don’t know about you, but the warm breeze and little sprouts on the trees are putting a refreshing spring in my step. Lately, I have been searching for clever and healthy ways to add more brightness to my days, whether it’s with non-toxic cleaners for my dusty bookshelves, a do-it-yourself project or planning my first vegetable garden (cucumbers galore!).

What’s in my fridge?
April 8, 2013
Hi Sweet Friends, My refrigerator is powerful. In fact, it has a direct link to my overall well-being. This week I’m opening my doors in order to give you an in-depth look at my plant-happy haul. Disclaimer: My fridge isn’t always this shiny and clean (I dolled it up for you). And it’s not usually this packed (I wanted to show you my favorite goodies all at once), but I do stock it up with… Read More >
5 Tips to Reduce Inflammation
March 25, 2013
When I started connecting the dots between my diet and lifestyle, chronic inflammation and disease, I felt empowered to take charge of my health. Why? Because our daily choices are the root of chronic inflammation. Over the past decade, I’ve renovated everything from my grocery cart to my makeup bag to my mind in an effort to upgrade my immune system. And as I moved from a stressful life full of fast food, toxins, and… Read More >
How to do less and live more
March 18, 2013
How can you make room for your well-being when there aren’t enough hours (or coffee) in the ever-exhausting day? We’ve been asking ourselves this question for decades. This isn’t breaking news. We all know that our lives are overbooked, and it seems to be getting worse. But lately I’ve been wondering if we’re busier than we really need to be. Are we creating extra work and obligations for ourselves by thinking we’re more essential than… Read More >
How to improve your gut health
March 11, 2013
We’ve all heard the saying, “listen to your gut.” And while that advice often refers to our intuition, it should also speak to our digestion. Your gut guides your overall well-being. Quite literally, your gut is the epicenter of your mental and physical health. Yet it’s all too common to experience lots of digestive issues that make a huge impact on our strength and vitality. If you want better immunity, efficient digestion, improved clarity and… Read More >

Happy anniversary! Celebrating a decade of thriving with cancer.
February 11, 2013
Ten years ago, this week, I was given exactly ten years to live. Stage IV cancer, no cure, no treatment, no options. Thankfully my expiration date was inaccurate. Like many people diagnosed with cancer, my life drastically changed that day. A decade later I can honestly say that cancer changed my life for the brighter and better. In this blog I’ve reflected on ten tips that helped me and can help you too (whether you’ve… Read More >
Sorry. No. Thank you …
January 28, 2013
I have a deep-rooted calling to feel happy. To love the skin I’m in and to embrace all the nooks and crannies that make me, me. I need peace of mind like I need oxygen. I need unstructured time like I need water. Consistent contentment and less stress probably boost my immune system more than green juice. And yet I often get lost in my to-do list, complain about too many commitments and align myself… Read More >
Crazy Sexy Gentle: How to Cleanse in 2013
January 7, 2013
Hi Sweet Friends, It’s about that time. The ole “New Year, New You” push. Like many, you may be feeling pressure to totally renovate your body, fit into smaller jeans, reverse the hands of time and grow shinier, thicker hair. I know I feel pressure to improve. It’s been awhile since I cleansed. I hear the silly voices of “should” in my mind. “Kris, you know you should clean it up a bit.” Heck I… Read More >
The myth of finding your purpose
December 24, 2012
Hi Sweet Friend, Lately, I’ve been working on being softer towards myself. Kinder. Slower. Why? Because it just feels so darn good, but also because I’m feeling anxious. You might be feeling the same way. Anxiety is fairly common this time of year. There’s lots of pressure to party, socialize, buy and give the right stuff, pressure to map out the perfect 2013, and let’s not forget the nagging pressure to finally dump the junk… Read More >

My Holiday Guide to Living & Giving
November 26, 2012
Festive Friends, While the holidays are a fabulous time to be grateful and merry, they also stir up a lot of emotions, memories and even fears. What a shock. From about mid-November to early January we often engage in a flurry of parties, extra demands and financial stretching. If you’re like me, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment. You might find yourself sleeping less, drinking more, abandoning your self-care practices and beating… Read More >

The power of unconditional acceptance
October 22, 2012
Hi Friend, Once upon a time, I wanted to be a movie star, a fancy photographer, a pilot. I wanted to dance on Broadway (I did). I wanted my film, Crazy Sexy Cancer, to win an Emmy (it didn’t). I’ve wanted a lot of things. Some stuff I got, others I didn’t. Like many folks, I’ve had multiple careers, five to be exact. Then, I settled into writing and chatting with you. To be honest,… Read More >
