By CHLOE. By Jillian

Let me start off this post by saying, I'm not vegan. In fact, I have a highly protein based diet. If you are vegan, I mean no offense but meat lovers like me can be turned off of a restaurant when we see "Vegan" plastered on the side of the glass. To meat lovers, By CHLOE. is not a restaurant you should shy away from when you walk past it on the street.


I mean, COME ON!!! Look at that burger, those fries... were amazing! I had the Spicy Thai salad with apricot-sriracha glazed tempeh, almonds, quinoa, edamame, scallion, crispy wontons and peanut dressing. Literally, one of the best salads I have ever had. By CHLOE. doesn't stop at lunch, they also offer great smoothies, a variety of cold and hot beverages (including coffee!), a very delicious brunch menu and dessert. Yes, dessert! They have a variety of ice creams and pastries in a section they call Sweets By CHLOE. As if all of this weren't enough to turn a meat lover like me onto a vegan place like this, they also offer dog treats. With a choice of Pupcakes or a Bag O'Dog Bones, I brought home an order of Pupcakes to my dog. They were gone almost as fast as my salad. Meat lovers and vegans can finally sit down in one place and enjoy a meal at By CHLOE.

  1. I can appreciate a vegan or vegetarian meal that fills me up and is just as tasty as a carnivorous one. Great review! Thanks, I just might check it out.

Why is Charcoal in Everything?

It’s in your toothpaste, your facemask, even in your soap! What is the big deal about Charcoal? Back in 2015 was when we first started hearing about the powers of charcoal. Since then it has spread from beauty products to our household items to our food. Everywhere we look there seems to be a hue of grey. If you’re like me, you might have gotten caught up in the trend without intending to and now somehow you have been partaking in some benefits that you have no idea what they are. I’m here to inform you how charcoal can help you in the many different forms of products we see it in today. We’ll start at the very beginning, the birth of the charcoal trend, the toothpaste. It was hard to go on social media without seeing someone with seriously black teeth that somehow turned their teeth whiter. How does it work? According to Trust Dental Care these toothpastes are made from a form of charcoal called Activated Charcoal. Activated Charcoal has natural adhesive qualities...

Jumpin' Jumpin'

This was honestly one of the hardest workouts I have ever done. Aerospace's areojump class is one that is hard to beat. It was (almost) a full class of jump roping (the silent killer of cardio) coupled with a few toning exercises.  Aerospace is know for training many of the Victoria's Secret models including Adriana Lima. Located in the heart of Chelsea, it is easy to get to from almost anywhere in Manhattan. They offer eight different classes along with a "Training Camp". Their classes include ThinkFast, AeroBox, Aero3, AeroBarre, AeroJump (the one I took), AreoImpact, AeroPower and AeroFly. Aerospace's website descrbes it's training camp as,"Every muscle in the body battles against gravity in this ultimate fitness class designed to enhance endurance, speed, stamina, power, coordination, recall, tone and muscle strength." Sounds like my next Aerospace workout will be taking this training camp challenge!

Gotham Gym in Gotham City

Photo taken after one of my first sessions at Gotham with Rob Gotham is my NYC workout favorite, not only because they are welcoming and friendly, but they can also kick your butt! Known for its work with supermodels such as Gigi Hadid or Sara Sampaio, Gotham Gym is a quickly expanding boxing gym that is great for anyone. I started going to Gotham about four years ago when I lived in the city for a summer. I was here for modeling and my agency set up a session with the gym’s owner, Rob. Let me just say, they take their motto, “Train like a fighter” very seriously!  I have been an athlete all my life, from field hockey to swim team, and this workout was hard! Rob pushed me to my limit in a firm but friendly way. The workout was a mixture of boxing and toning exercises that left me sore the next day.  More recent workout at Gotham with Mike Castilo Today, Gotham has group classes that you can sign up for through ClassPass or MindBody apps and they offer per...
