5 Fave Ways to Weather the Winter Season

12/11/2019

2 Comments

 
 
​When in snowstorm lockdown mode like we were in northeast this week, rather than skipping exercise and turning to cold weather, carb-rich, comfort foods... Turn your home into a healthy haven! Try out my Seamless.com selects and other tools to

​help you maintain a calm mind and happy heart during these darker days of winter.

1  Order Healthy Delivery Food or DIY
​Scan My Fave Recipes Pages & NEW Shopping Lists and Stock Your Pantry Today!  
Picture
 I'm LOVING all the healthy finds on Seamless.com these days. A comprehensive list of my Fave Go-To Selects - everything from Bone Broth to Gluten Free Comfort Foods is in the works. So stay tuned. In the meantime, here are just three I use every week: 

  • Bliss Bowls (pictured above), Choose a romaine or spinach base, add on your fave raw, steamed and fermented veggies (kimchi!) then top with their spicy chicken. I order a green juice and protein smoothie while I'm at it so I'm totally stocked for the afternoon and eve. 
 
  • ​Juice Press - I LOVE my Juice Press: low sugar juices, make your own smoothies, comforting soups and açaí bowls. SO happy they deliver now. See my Juices Faves page for JP Selects. 
 
  • Le Pain Quotidien - Yes, they're on Seamless now too! All time fave - their Egg Salad or Avocado Tartine on gluten free bread & their soups, Zucchini Pad Thai, Organic Chia Pudding.
 
RECOS: 
Want to DIY? Check out my fave healthy recipes, comfort food faves and other healthy home lists so while you're already online you can stock up on pantry and other essentials. Meaning you're more likely to succeed in your new year, healthier living.

2  In Home Massage or Epic Epsom Salts Bath
Picture
Make your home a spa for the day with an in-home massage followed by a healing salt bath. 

Zeel.com Massage Therapist App: The price is right, MT's are well vetted and they're available for same day service. You can choose desired time, type of massage and sex of your therapist.

Use 
my referral code: ta6g for a special offer :)

RECOS:
  • To really get the lymph system, digestion and circulation going, order a deep tissue massage and ask the therapist when they arrive if they know lymphatic drainage.
  • Check out their membership program; it's a very good deal and will encourage you to schedule in your healing time each month at a minimum.

4  Ditch the Reality TV & Nightly News &
Watch a Feel-Good Documentary or Two 
Picture
...Because reality TV is, in reality, no bueno for the brain. Nor is negative news. 
When was the last time you saw a "feel good" film that made you hopeful?

Documentaries:
  • Lady Gaga Five Foot Two - watch trailer HERE and find the doc on Netflix.
  • Dr Dre’s doc series The Defiant Ones
 
​Books:
  • Ray Dalio's Principles
  • Russell Brand's Recovery
  • Bedtime Stories for Rebel Girls -  New FAVE book & Optimal Mind Body gift for every girl/young woman I know! ❤️

5  Stay Cozy in Sustainable Cashmere Sweatpants Or...
Picture
All Birds - Wool Runners & Wool Loungers (in black for NYC & gray for East Hampton)  
The MOST comfortable shoe you will ever own. They look great on men too!​

Everlane - Cashmere sweatpants & Waffle knit sweaters   

A few reasons I love both Everlane and All Birds brands. 
  • The price is right!
  • Environmentally conscious/lower foot print production and packaging
  • Exceptional Quality - products are made well & designed to last
  • Ethical Factories - guaranteed fair wages, reasonable hours
  • Radical Transparency - true costs behind all of our products are openly & honestly revealed — from materials to labor to transportation.​    

​RECOS: And while you're holed up inside, get a game plan for the rest of the winter season. Because planning is everything. And my vetted faves and programs are designed to make this part a whole lot easier for you!
