Last morning in Philly! Rather than trek into Center City again, we stayed in our ‘hood for breakfast. Even though they are right next to each other, I’m not very familiar with either Penn or Drexel’s campus. Because I was in the accelerated nursing program at Drexel I spent nearly all of my time in Center City. The only occasion I had to go over to the main part of campus where the university buildings and lecture halls are was for finals (HESI exams). Blah. But I did pass through campus on my way to… Read more >

At first glance, the L’Auberge hotel looks rustic. But once you tour the place, you start to notice it’s all a facade. With satellite TV (not that I wanted to watch the Kardashians on vacation) and high tech gym equipment (in the tower’s top floor) and multiple places to lounge around outside while connected to the hotel’s (free) wi-fi…I’d say it was the perfect balance of old and new for a relaxing vacation. Kyle and I went to the gym 4 of the 7 days we were there. Not bad! We ordered… Read more >

Say it with me now: So-Ken-Bi-Cha So = Refreshing Ken = Health Bi = Beauty Cha = Tea In other words, Sokenbicha is a refreshing tea that helps your body stay healthy and beautiful from the inside out. A little background… Last month I was talking with a patient’s friend and she mentioned that she drinks aloe. As a beverage, not a topical application. Having seen these drinks pop up more and more at Whole Foods, I’ve been wondering about the health benefits (and more importantly the flavor). It makes sense I guess. Your… Read more >

I leave for work and it’s pitch black outside…12 hours later I leave the hospital and it’s again darkness. I can’t really complain since I spent Friday on the beach with Kyle (summer sun in October, what whaaaat). But I worked this weekend and tried to take a photo out the kitchen window before I left…just to show the lack of light. Didn’t really work. :( It’s so dark out, all you can see is my reflection. My breakfast is far more photogenic. Quinoa on quinoa? Why not! I added Sweet Almond & Quinoa… Read more >

I worked on Saturday, so my Friday wasn’t really a TGIF kind of day. To summarize the AM: cereal, bike ride, window shopping. I had two Turlock multi-grain pitas with hummus for lunch and a veggie burger a la mode. Hummus gone. 🙁 In terms of fizz KeVita < Synergy, in terms of calories it’s the reverse. Flavor-wise I go back and forth. Depends on what I’m in the mood for. Truthfully, all I wanted for dinner was quinoa drenched in Bragg’s liquid aminos, but I decided to up the nutritional profile of… Read more >
