Secret #8 Coconut Water
This is by far my favorite beverage. I started drinking it about three years ago. I drink it in the morning with my vitamins. I have it in the afternoon when I need a kick in the ass, a little “wake-me up”. Inside every green coconut is an extraordinary life force. There are zero artificial ingredients and it is the best remedy for the occasional hang-over. I highly recommend that you...
Secret #7 Push-Ups
This is not a joke! Since I was 18 years old I have been a firm believer in the power of the “push-up”. I am not referring to the Bra, however, I am talking about getting down on the ground and doing 20! Not the wimpy kind, where your knees are on the ground. I am talking about the “push-up” that requires you to lift your entire body off the ground with the sheer force of...

Secret #6 Charcoal Body Wash
The only other time I have used charcoal was for summer grilling and while attempting to do a portrait of Lucien Freud. I love body washes and I have about three in my shower as I write this. However, I am going to share a product with you that will soak up virtually all the impurities your skin has trapped inside. Living in NYC, I feel as if a film of dirt inhabits my skin every single day. Each...

Secret #5 Sunscreen Even When It Rains
Applying sunscreen is a bit like dental flossing. They both take that extra effort and are time consuming, especially when you are running late in the morning. It is really important that you do both every day. I have tried over a hundred sunscreens, due to my fair skin which the sun loves to try and fry whenever I’m bikini clad. I have resorted to wearing embarrassingly large beach hats and...

Secret #4 Aveda's Intensive Hydrating Masque
I am a believer in staying MOIST. Dry skin is caused by everything from stress, not drinking enough water or drinking too many cocktails. There is a great product called Intensive Hydrating Masque made by Aveda. It will plump up your skin in 60 seconds. The minute you hop out of the shower apply the clear intensive hydrating masque to your skin. Then you can brush your teeth, dry your hair and get...
Secret #3 Papaya-Glycolic Gentle Skin Peel
I have always enjoyed perusing the aisles in health food stores. A few years ago I discovered an incredible product by Earth Science called Papaya-Glycolic Gentle Skin Peel. I apply the peel twice a week while I soak in the tub. I am serious when I say that your face feels so unbelievably soft and radiant when you wash the peel off. I’ve even convinced my boyfriend to use it! Give it a...

Secret #2 Rosewater
I have had this in my medicine cabinet for many years. I do not get on a plane without it. I keep a sample size in my purse. I love the smell and the way it wakes me up!
Today, go and purchase 8 FL OZ of Rosewater …..made from real rose petals. The one I use has VOR-MAG WATER ..water that has been vortexed and magnetized to raise the energy to a higher vibration that is more beneficial to...
