[ elizabeth's top trending picks for spring ]

produce Asparagus, artichokes + fresh pesto – anything with the combination of these three.

products 1. Thrive Algae Oil: This hearthealth friendly, everyday cooking oil is made from algae. It has the highest level of monounsaturated fat—the good fat— and the lowest amount of saturated fat compared to other cooking oils.

2. Seaweed Bath Co: These skin and hair care products create the ultimate sea-inspired experience.

I love that the main ingredient is bladderwrack seaweed, which is nutrient-dense with 65+ vitamins, minerals + amino acids.

3. Mushrooms: Om Mushroom Matrix has been a staple in my morning ritual. I especially love the Energy Matrix, which I drink daily.

4. Gloss Moderne Hair Masque: Luxurious + made with clean ingredients, this hair masque makes my hair feel like I spent the entire day at a salon.

BLOOMS Lilac Pink Ranunculus Sweet Pea

my go-to pesto recipe FASHION Stripes, florals + off the shoulder tops. For workout wear: I'm in love with Outdoor Voices' new line of Cactus shades.

WELLNESS 1. Bitter, astringent and spicy foods (arugula, endive, asparagus, turmeric + cayenne) 2. Eating more raw foods to take away the heaviness of winter 3. Getting in lots of greens (kale, swiss chard + dandelion greens) to detox from the winter 4. Vitamin C to fight allergies (broccoli, berries) 5. Garlic and onions which are rich in Quercetin, a compound that acts like an antihistamine

A Guide to Living In Style

3 natural beauty products I’m loving right now: One Love Organics Vitamin B Enzyme Cleansing Oil — I have demanding combination skin and I’ve tried hundreds of cleansers (I'm a natural beauty expert), and this one whisks away sweat, makeup, and poreclogging grime without throwing my skin out of balance. And I love that it contains papaya enzymes for a deeper cleanse and that my skin just glows when I use it.

Tammy Fender Intensive Repair Balm.

This is the Rolls Royce of moisturizers for freak-out-prone skin like mine that gets red, flaky, parched, and weird. In addition to the brilliant nourishing botanicals in her handmade formulations (the ultimate luxury!), it contains something not on the ingredient list, divine consciousness (AKA really good vibes) that come from making the products with total heart.

W3LL PEOPLE Expressionist Mascara.

I was an early convert to this superinnovative and super-cool makeup brand, and their non-toxic mascara especially blew me away in terms

Photo Credit: Jaimie Baird of performance. (Though I’m obsessed with their lip-cheek Multi-Sticks, their liquid Bio Correct Multi-Action Concealer, I could go on.) They’ve since garnered a mega fan club for this mascara, so now I’m not the only one championing it.

Beauty treatment I’ll splurge on: Facials with skin-healing guru Julia March. I’ve seen her for about a decade and can vouch that she’s two years ahead of the wellness trends in healing and beauty. Her real gift is that she pairs serious skin-care know-how with deep energy work so she addresses your stress, and your spirit, not just your skin.

Always in my purse: Facial wipes, Agent Nateur Deodorant, and running shoes. Yes, my handbag is basically a gym bag.

Current workout wardrobe obsessions: Sweaty Betty Zero Gravity Run Leggings, Wear It To Heart (WITH) Reversible Bomber Jacket, and I have yet to purchase the Veja Esplar Sneaker in a marble print, but I need them.

Favorite new workout: I love to try every new workout, and living in NYC it’s like restaurants with all the amazing new studios and brilliant instructors. I’m having a new-found love for yoga—thank you, Beth Cooke, who teaches at the Well+Good Yoga Residency (one yogi holds a class for our team every Friday for a month) and I’m a regular at The Class with Taryn Toomey and The Fhitting Room.

Strangest health trend I’m actually into: ­ Crystals?! I barely consider anything strange…

Health trend I’m not feeling: Before and after photos on Instagram. I worry they stem from an old, limited kind of thinking about health and body image that doesn’t really serve us.

Best new healthy food finds: Magnesium tea, Sakara CBD Chocolates, avocado mayo, pumpkin seed spread at O Cafe in NYC, and unicorn lattes.

Food philosophy in a few words: Is salmon and avocado a philosophy? They would be my desert island foods, and so long as I could make kombucha and grow sweet potatoes.

One thing I do for wellness everyday and will never give up: Give my all to Well+Good—I’m so passionate about the work we do there everyday and I’m inspired by our team, the cool wellness mission we’ve created, and the people around the country we still have to reach.

When the weather warms up the first thing I do is: Miraculously start running outside again. And buy new workout capris and tanks.

Words of inspiration for life: Let yourself be awed by what you can teach yourself, how tirelessly you can give of yourself, and how much happiness it will bring you.
