Fast (healthy) Food

There are many reasons why fast food restaurants are seen on every corner. They are quick, cheap, and don't taste terrible. Generally,  they aren't very healthy for you either. I am no chef, however, I try to cook most of my meals at home. This way I know exactly what I'm putting in my body and I have more of a control on portions. Due to my ever-changing schedule and hurry-up-and-wait lifestyle, all my cooking is quick. So I decided to share my favorite fast (healthy) foods with my readers.


  •  My absolute favorite frozen turkey burger is from Applegate Farms. I buy mine at Whole Foods. It is all organic, only 140 calories and they only take 12 mins on the stove. I usually pair that with some spinach or a couple of baby carrots and it makes a very good light lunch or dinner.



  •  Almost every household has eggs. Pull out the yolks and make a little egg white omelet. I buy egg whites in a carton. I use baby bell lights for cheese and I love adding in some spinach or cut up peppers for some added flavor. If you have any, you can also add some salsa on top.



  • A plain old salad. Basics are best. Spinach is one of the best bases for a salad, it has great nutrients and tastes great. just put in anything you have around the house that you like and think would taste good together.


These three have gotten me through my most busy days. They are extremely healthy and very simple. You might need to pick some things up on the way home, but nothing that will empty out your bank account. Instead of stopping at the fast food place down the block, open up your fridge and make something healthy. You'll thank yourself for it later on.

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 personal tra
