August 6, 2017 by I often get asked what my life looks like since becoming a Health Coach, so each month, I dedicate a post to a behind-the-scenes look. I spent most of July working and cooking in sunny LA. On July 4th, I headed out to Los Angeles for about 3 weeks, to cook, host an LA Launch party for The Real Food Grocery Guide, and evaluate whether or not I want to make the move to LA. I stayed at my friend Sahara of The Highest Self Podcast’s place and watched her adorable pup, Chubby while she was away. Saturday: Farmers Market ✅ Beach ✅ LA, I think I love you ????: @irina_smirnova_foto A post shared by Maria Marlowe, C.H.C (@mariamarlowe) on Jul 15, 2017 at 2:26pm PDT A post shared by Maria Marlowe, C.H.C (@mariamarlowe) on Jul 16, 2017 at 4:04pm PDT If you’ve been following my insta-stories, you know I love fresh carrot juice – it’s so great for skin: it’s high in beta-carotene, the precursor to Vitamin A, a critical nutrient for clear, acne-free skin; studies have shown it can not only prevent, but reverse photo-aging (aka damage to the skin caused by the sun) and they even promote a golden tan-like glow (even without sun exposure!) According to a peer reviewed study in PLOS One, skin tone can change in just six weeks after an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption – particularly beta-carotene and lycopene rich produce. Carrots are super high in beta-carotene.

This is their cute garden patio. Shot a cooking video for a Maille mustard. I made a ton of recipes while there…which have already, and will soon be coming to the blog and instagram. Ate at Tocaya Organica, an organic Mexican restaurant chain about a million times. For more of my favorite LA restaurants, check out this post. Real Food Grocery Guide LA Launch Event at Rebecca Minkoff store As you can see, LA is fabulous. Sun, beach, city, farmers markets, organic food everywhere, yoga…what more could you ask for? I want to make the move, but the problem is the BF lives in Dubai so that will take me even further from him so I now have to convince him of the benefits of moving to LA 🙂 I spent the last week of July in New York making some tweaks to my EatSLIM program for September, namely, I will now be including a one-on-one session as part of the package, to help participants get personalized, targeted advice and guidance, in addition to the videos and weekly live group Q+As. And that was my fun, fabulous July!
