Halloween’s Here! Do You Have Your Costume?

Trick or treating, costume parties, and masquerades are just around the corner! Yes, that’s right folks. Halloween is almost here. Have you decided what you’ll be?

Some inspiration for those in need: you can opt for the traditional Halloween costume of something terrifying. Ghosts, Frankensteins, and monsters are always classic.

Living in Venice Beach, California, I am fortunate enough to have the luxury of scooting down to the local market and ordering an acai smoothie with a vitamin C boost, or a fresh strawberry banana smoothie with a scoop of B-12, or even shot filled to the brim with wheatgrass- all of which contain essential vitamins that help keep my body and, thus, my health and nutrition balanced. 

However, Venice is probably the anomaly. Not everywhere can you simply jaunt down to the local spot for a smoothie of your choice chalked full of nourishing vitamins. But it doesn’t mean you can avoid imbibing your essential nutrients! And even if you do have the privilege of having fresh smoothies around the corner, it can still be a challenge to make sure your body is soaking up all the

Haute Baggage

For those of you globetrotters out there, I don’t need to remind you that September is the quintessential time to travel. Summer is over, the air’s not as muggy, kids are back in school, tourists are tending their jobs, and it’s your turn to discover your destination in its purest state- sans photo-snapping tourists and crying kids. Traveling in September means you know how to travel with panache; you’re experiencing your destination as a local does, in its raw and purest form. And when you’re traveling with like this, you also need to travel in style.

Chic luggage is vital for the globetrotter. I realized this when I just turned eighteen at the tail-end of summer and was planning my first trip to London.  Packing for my trip was hard enough, what with all the coats,
