Vita-Mix!!!

Recently, I purchased a Vita-Mix. Although it's pricy, I now find it a very necessary kitchen item! If you are currently struggling to get enough vegetables in your daily diet, you may want to look into the Vita-Mix. As I experiment more with the vitamix, I will be sure to blog about my experiences!

alternative medicine 101

As I've mentioned in my first post, my "day job" (although it's mostly evening hours!) is as a pharmacist. Over the years, I've become more and more interested in alternative health medicine. As a result, I've taken numerous classes and workshops on various subjects such as Ayurveda and Chinese medicine (specifically Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs).  Last year I received my certification in Holistic Health Counseling. I'm also a yoga instructor.  I went through the 200hr certification and I'm currently working on my 500hr certification. 

Last week I went to a lecture titled Alternative Medicine 101.  While I didn't learn a whole lot that I hadn't already read about and studied, I found that lecture very valuable to me.  It reminded me how much more I still wanted to learn!  Over the next year I hope to take classes in Acupressure,  Reflexology, and Herbology.   I also hope to eventually deepen my studies in Ayurveda.  I never get tired of being a student! 

first blog post!

Welcome to my first blog post! I'm Zell...actually my name is Hilary. I'm a pharmacist, yoga instructor and holistic health counselor. Join me as I enter a new phase in my life and delve into various aspects of health, fitness and wellness. Mixing in my love of athletics, music, travel and fashion, I hope to have a well-rounded, informative, and most of all, fun blog for like minded (future) online peers! Stay tuned as I plan to tweak things over the next couple of weeks!
