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 eat, rather than not eat. Now, it's not feast on gorgeous produce. Instead it is is prepackaged food prepared by L-Nutra a nutrition technology that sells the five-day fast.

5 Free Workouts You Can Stream Anywhere

Do you struggle trying to squeeze in a workout? To that end, is exercise one of the first things to go when your schedule gets overloaded? Here's the thing: it shouldn't. Exercise really is one of, if not the, easiest thing on your to-do list you can accomplish.

Dubious? Do you have 30 minutes to spare? Of course you do. Then you have time to exercise.

Exercise should be non-negotiable. The benefits of working out extend far beyond anything relating to weight loss. It gives you more energy, improves you mood, helps you think better, reduces cholesterol and improves your posture. That's the tip of the iceberg. The UK's Academy of Medical Royal Colleges published a report in 2015 calling exercise the "miracle cure".

My Favorite New Accessory | A Unique Wood Watch by JORD

I have a confession to make. And it’s about an obsession. 

I love a good watch. I also need a good watch. I will go to great lengths to find one. 

I know I’m not alone. 

My entire life is dictated by time. When I worked in TV news full-time, time was everything: one minute and 15 seconds for a live shot or two minutes and 30 seconds for a sportscast. When practice starts at 9AM and interviews start promptly at 11:15AM, you need to be there.

As a working mom, I don’t have to tell you: punctuality, scheduling...it all matters. 

LIT Method's Low-Impact High Intensity Workout Review

This is all you need!

Have you ever suffered from decision fatigue trying to find an online workout to stream? The struggle is real. From pilates and PiYo to HIIT and BBG, there is an endless supply of choices.

That's a good thing...and a bad thing.

It's great in that you can, literally, do any workout anywhere in the world. It's a negative when you try to consider all the options you can choose from. You might be 15 minutes into an online workout before you realize it's too hard, not hard enough or a complete waste of your time.

Ritz Carlton Herzliya Review

From stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and best-in-class service to cuisine that will change the way you think about Israeli food, the Ritz Carlton Herzliya sets the bar for world class hospitality in Israel.

Just the Med, yo. NBD.

Every visit I've made to Israel has involved multiple cities in multiple hotels. My third and most recent trip in November 2017 was no different. I spent two days in Herzliya followed by four days in Haifa. Knowing that my time in Haifa was going to be "work", in the form of moving my elderly father into an assisted living facility, I wanted to enjoy a few days of my trip to the Middle East.

I had read about the Ritz Carlton's foray into Israel when it opened in 2013. As a Ritz Carlton loyalist, I wanted to experience this property and finally be wowed by a hotel experience in Israel. I've stayed at the Kind David in Jerusalem, the Sheraton and Intercontinental in Tel Aviv and the Scots in Tiberias. King David aside, none of them impressed me. I felt that a level of service and luxury was missing in Israel and hoped the Ritz Carlton would change that.

Louis Vuitton Twist Bag Review

Louis Vuitton's Epi Twist Leather bag is a multi-functional marvel. Thanks to its versatile chain, it can serve as three purses in one: a crossbody, shoulder bag and clutch.

Louis Vuitton offers the Epi Twist bag in three sizes: PM, MM and GM. It also comes in a crossbody wallet version. For the sake of this review, we're focusing solely on the purse.

Lune & Aster CC Cream Review

Need to Know:

• Lune + Aster CC Cream is only available at Bluemercury, which provides free shipping and free returns. 
• It comes in four shades: Fair, Light, Medium and Medium Deep.
• I wear Medium, which is the most popular shade.
• It's $48 but lasts two to four months, depending on how frequently you use it. 

Lune + Aster's CC Cream is the ideal double duty beauty product. It provides wonderful, lightweight coverage while also delivering a strong sun protection factor: SPF 50, babes!

It contains vitamin E, hyaluronic acid (a skin plumper) and sea buckthorn, which is said to promote skin elasticity.
