With V-Day right around the corner, I’ve got “Things I Love” on my mind. Being a passionista for healthy food, grass-roots ventures, and treats that don’t make me feel guilty, here’s a short list of some of my favs.

1) I love to eat. My winter fav of 2010: Organic, refried black beans with jalepenos over organic short-grain brown rice with a dollop of fresh sour cream.
2) I love my new bank. In the effort to “shop local” I just switched from a bohemoth Bank (no name slashing) to a local one. With a new checking account that earns 3.26% interest, return of all atm fees, free checks and personal service, I feel rich already.
3) I love putting olive oil on my face. I saved $30 on face creams this season, and have glowing skin as a result. Organic, extra virgin olive oil, applied nightly, is doing it for my daily glow.
4) I love sweets. And because I have this great gig of producer/host, I get to try lots of great products, including ZSweet. I’m in love with it. I’ve had cookies, hot chocolate milk, brownies and sweetened my tea with NO sugar, NO side affects and am living guilt free. Video coming shortly (plug)! It’s no joke, people – ZSweet will change your life!
5) I love to feel great. Instead of turning to OTC medications, unhealthy products that just mask symptoms or running to the doc for every sniffle, I LOVE that I have options of self-care. A little cough this week & headache led me to my cupboard for some tea (Breathe Easy is a good one), Acai (my new fav wonderfood), Umcka syrup and a powdered greens formula is whipping me right into shape.

The most fav of my favs is the peace of mind that comes from a healthy, positive way of life. Eat fresh, be natural and support your local community. LOVE IT.
