Any healthy eating tips?
I'll just do a few since I don't have a bunch of time right now..and remember I'm no expert, these are just what I've integrated myself.
Make your own dressing - store bought ones have all kinds of weird crap in them, and it's easy to make them with good fats instead of bad fats. One I've been liking this week - olive oil, garlic, onion powder, sea salt, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar.
Eat quinoa instead of rice or pasta - far more nutritional benefits, good source of protein and fiber.
Drink filtered tap water instead of bottled water. If you're paranoid like me put a filter on your faucet and then filter it again with a Brita. Watch the movie Tapped to learn about why the bottled water industry is so fucked up.
Add flaxseed to your breakfasts (smoothies, cereals, etc.) for the Omega 3s. -
do you make your own green smoothie or do you go out? if you make it can you please share a recipe?
I make my own. I don't really go by recipes, I look at them just to get ideas for ingredients...what I do is mostly experimentation and using what I have in the kitchen at the moment. I'm sure everyone has different ideals for proportions but here's what I like to use in different combinations: white peaches, almond extract, mango, raspberries, swiss chard, coconut water, filtered tap water, chia seeds, almond butter, kale, spinach, any kind of lettuce, romaine, butter lettuce, hemp protein powder, strawberries, bananas, kiwi, shredded coconut, almond milk, steel cut oatmeal, watermelon, frisee, coconut milk yogurt, avocado, blueberries, and ginger. There's an app called Green Smoothies that's somewhat useful too.

have you ever had spots?;)) your skin is so flawless, it's ideal!! maybe you could write about your skin care routine? :))
Of course I have! My skin is sensitive so I try to not do anything too crazy to it. Right now I'm using Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser and toner, and an assortment of moisturizers..Cetaphil moisturizing cream (the big one in the tub, I love this stuff), Kiehl's Midnight Concentrate, and Oil of Olay with sunscreen in it. I picked up some SKII products to try out when I was in Japan and also love to use moisturizing masks. Neosporin is my savior when it comes to zits, gets rid of them faster than you would believe. And I try to do a facial once a month...keyword try. I think that's about it!

what kinds of foods do you eat in a regular basis? i dont know why i can't stop eating junk and seriously cannot build up enough endurance to continue cardio for long periods of time .. it sucks.
I'm much more aware of what I eat these days, gone are the days when I trusted the FDA for anything remotely true. I don't eat meat and have pretty much cut out fish...focus is on organic foods, variety of produce, and consuming things in as close to their natural state as possible. Which means eating out is tricky and a lot of farmers markets and Whole Foods trips. Some of the things I've been loving lately - kale (especially with cranberries, pecans, and my own dressing I make), muesli (organic oats, almond milk, Amazing Grass chocolate protein powder, shredded coconut, chia seeds), artichokes with hummus, orange/carrot/ginger/lemon juice, raspberry smoothies (organic frozen raspberries, flaxseed, acai juice, pomegranate juice, almond milk, and 0% Greek yogurt), loose leaf oolong tea, quinoa with whatever vegetables are in season, roasted flavored seaweed, arugula/beet salad, spinach smoothies (baby spinach, raw almonds, frozen bananas, flaxseed, almond milk), coconut water with pulp, black bean/avocado salad...I dunno I can't think anymore. I mean I still have things I shouldn't as well - kettle corn, iced lattes, random unavoidable crap especially while traveling. But the more whoe foods you eat, the less appealing unhealthy things become. Don't be scared of 'good fats' and always avoid processed when possible. There are a lot of bullets to dodge when making food choices but the more you know about junk food the less inclined you'll be to eat it. If you're not bored to death by this response, try reading In Defense of Food, watching Food Inc., learning about GMOs, Monsanto, slaughterhouse conditions, Roundup, bottled water being kind of a joke...list goes on. It's all very depressing but if we were magically all able to support local and organic, all these fucked up corporations would suffer immensely.

I'm going to NYC, and the weather is all in the upper 60's. Please please give me advice on some key pieces to pack.
Chunky knits, denim shorts, silk blouse, military jacket, black belt, black suede heels, motorcycle jacket, a pair of Chucks, light dresses you can easily layer over, ankle boots in whatever height you feel comfortable in, tshirts, camera, big enough bag that'll go with anything, a couple pairs of sunglasses, your favorite clutch, flat sandals if you can find a good pair (I haven't yet), tights just in case, band-aids for inevitable blisters, and a ton of space for things you pick up there.

are you going to keep blogging forever? are you going to get another job, or are you just going to keep going until you want to stop?
I'll blog until I don't feel like it anymore and then figure something else out. I'm more of a make it up as you go type of person than a long term strategist.

what kind of smoothies do u make?
Green monster - I customize depending on what I have but I use almond milk, a ton of spinach, chia seeds, flaxseeds, raw almonds, frozen banana, almond extract, shredded coconut, agave sweetener, and sometimes Greek yogurt (all organic). One of my favorite breakfasts.

what do you do on long plane rides?
Block out all noise, watch movies, drink only water, find interesting places to put my feet, observe other people in a slightly horrified manner, make collages on my iPad, read magazines from the country I was in last, trade snacks with Colin and make him get things from the overhead compartment, play Texttwist, read on iBooks, and drug myself with Unisom.
