Hermes Scarf Review: La Cite Cavaliere

It's Paris reimagined! Love this Hermès scarf from Octave Marsal that debuted in 2019. La Cite Cavaliere is funky, surprising and gorgeous. You could spend hours looking at it and still not see everything. I purchased this scarf at Hermès George V store in Paris on December 30, 2019 which was a wonderful experience. It was crowded but not as much as the Rue St. Honoré store. I prefer buying...

Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet Day 5 Review: Is This For Real?!?

Wow. Done. I really didn't think I could do but I did and only cheated just a wee bi...

Brown Beach House Tel Aviv Review: An Urban Oasis in The Heart of Tel Aviv

Finding hotel accommodations in Tel Aviv can be tough. Hotels are expensive and, many times, the price doesn’t reflect the level of expectation. It is an expensive country. With that in mind, I looked thoroughly for a room for my one night stay in June 2019. After hours of research, I found it theBrown Beach House. I was actually still in Tiberias when I booked the room  wanted to...

Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet Day 4 Review: Here Comes That Energy Boost

Day four on the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet? Gamechanger. I woke up at 5:30AM with some energy. Not just some energy. I felt good. The headache I felt on days two and three still persisted but it wasn't as pounding. It was...manageable. I don't take aspirin, ibuprofen or any of that stuff, so I've just been dealing with it. Today it truly was tolerable. Save this workout if you're looking...

Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet Day 3 Review: The Brainfog Is Still There!

Prolon offers a daily email to offer words of encouragement. Day three's email said "Some people find day 3 to be challenging". Great. That's exactly what I want to read when I wake up at crack-thirty in the morning with a caffeine withdrawal/fasting/brainfog headache. Ugh. Day three on the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet offer another round of sparse meals: L-Bar, Butternut Squash Soup, Kale...

Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet Day 2 Review: Brainfog Sets In

Another sneak peak from Instagram Stories "I woke up like this and I didn't have one cocktail last night! Promise," that's what I told a number of friends and colleagues on my second day of my five-day Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet when they asked me how I felt. Monday morning was not pretty. Literally and figuratively. I woke up with puffy eyes and headache! Way to enter the work week.  Some...

Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet Day 1 Review: It's Not So Bad!

"And why exactly are you doing this?" a colleague asked me when he saw the kale crackers I was eating instead of a typical pregame meal. "I just want a reset," I deadpanned while actually enjoying the kale crackers. This was my first day on the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet, a plan that, in theory, is supposed to replicate the benefits you receive from fasting. The difference is that you can...
