There is no diet that will do what healthy eating does, and so maybe I don’t eat healthy all the time but I try really hard most days….. lets just say that I use moderation, in moderation.  I feel better,  think clearer and I sleep better. While a fresh blowout and some concealer can help you look your best, the most important beauty regimen you can get on is feeling your best.  I now think of fresh fruits and vegetables as life enhancers and have become more and more interested in finding healthy drinks and snacks to pack with me on-the-go.

1) Avocados and Papayas:   Avocados are the best fruit source of vitamin E and Papayas are a packed with enzymes that are very important in digesting food properly.

2)  Dragon Fruit:  This extremely beautiful fruit is packed with Vitamin-C which aids in building a strong immune system.  Fights off those sniffles!  Too busy to get sick!

3) Tomato Salads:  I love cutting these babies up and drizzling olive oil and fresh cracked pepper over them for a quick snack!  Typically I just cut them up and add them to my avocado and papaya salad but I am even guilty of enjoying a sun-ripened tomatoe as a snack on set, just like an apple!

4) Mineral Water, Freshly squeezed Finger Limes and/or Organic Lemons:  I discovered finger limes at the ACF National Food Convention this year while helping a friend promote her new social networking site for foodies, Chef Key (check it out!).  I love LOVE looooove lemons and limes and add them to pretty much any food or drink I can.  I’ve been reading a lot about the health benefits of lemons and limes and their ability to purge toxins from the blood keeping your skin clear and your breathe fresh!  I’ve switched to mineral water with fresh lemon or lime juice and sometimes even a dash of peppermint to keep my breathe fresh on a job.

Finger Limes:   Referred to as citrus pearrrrrrls, or citrus caviar.  So fancy. The citrus pearls can be squeezed out of the finger lime and used in any place that you would use a lemon or lime.  The flavor is similar to that of a lemon-lime-grapefruit combo, the juice bursts from the citrus pearls when bitten into.  Yum!!
