Emergen-C
// www.emergenc.com

I have been taking a packet of this every day or a few years now. I can’t remember the last time I was sick and I think Emergen-C may be one of the reasons. It’s a little packet of powder you dump in to your water. Each packet gives you 1,000 milligrams of Vitamin C and also vitamin B, minerals and electrolytes. It tastes good and is fun (it fizzes). My favorite flavor is raspberry.

Glo Minerals- glo pressed base
// www.glominerals.com

I don’t like to wear makeup- I feel like my skin is suffocating- but there are times (some days more then others) that I need coverage. Glo Mineral glo pressed base is all that I wear. The pressed powder provides great matte coverage and it is full of antioxidants, vitamins and UV protection so it is good for your skin too.

Eggless Egg Salad at Trader Joes
// www.traderjoes.com

So yummy I could (and quite often do) eat it every day- right out of the container. High in protein and low in carbs and only 110 calories. Trader Joe’s also has an Egg White Salad with Chives that is tasty and I am a big fan of the store in general.

Renting movies from apple
// www.apple.com/itunes

As soon as I get some free time I am getting a second job at Apple. You can now rent movies from itunes and watch them on your computer or ipod. Rentals only cost $4 and you have 30 days once you download your movie to watch it - 24 hours once you start. I just downloaded one...however....I am anxiously awaiting anything with Hugh Grant in it.

Eminence Eight Greens Phyto Masque
// www.eminenceorganics.com

This is the best masque I have ever used- it’s almost as good as getting a facial. It gets a little hot while it is on but the results are amazing.


Kombucha
// www.gtskombucha.com/kombucha.html

This handmade Chinese tea is cultured for 30 days and delivers essential nutrients that restore balance and vitality. I tried my first Kombucha at a friend’s house after hearing about it multiple times in one week- I am now addicted.



Northface Neptuse Vest
// www.thenorthface.com

I used to wear this vest all the time in Detroit with a layer of fleece under it. I just pulled it out here in San Diego and was so excited to wear it again! No fleece layer necessary here- just a long sleeve tee!


One to One- Personal Training at the Apple Store
// www.apple.com/retail/onetoone/

It is the best $99 I have every spent. You get a personal trainer for one full year. These Apple geniuses can answer any questions you have- from “how do I turn this thing on” to making a movie. Trainer Travis is Troy, MI- you are the BEST!

lululemon
// www.lululemon.com

I have been a retailer for them as well as a big fan for years- great fit, great function, great fashion.

mona-vie
// www.monavie.com

I take a shot of this every morning and even travel with the gel packs- it contains the Brazilian acai berry- cited by Dr. Perricone as one of nature’s top superfoods.

skinceuticals
// www.skinceuticals.com

An amazing facialist introduced me to this line about a year ago and I love it- I use their foaming cleanser, serum C and hydrating B- all great stuff.

laura mercier
french vanilla honey bath & souffle body creme
// www.lauramercier.com

It smells so yummy I swear you could eat it!

apple’s macboook pro
// www.apple.com

The love of my life- this computer allows me to do so much- the possibilities are endless and I am always learning!
