Inget revolutionerande alls men ändå något att kanske påminnas om ibland. Det är att tänka lite färskt och färgglatt till varje måltid – varje dag! Det kan faktiskt göra stor skillnad i längden. Vi får i oss mer mineraler, vitaminer, antioxidanter och klorofyll på det viset,  sådant som kroppen älskar och blomstrar av.

“jag älskar att botanisera på farmers markets, smaka på det som bjuds, ta in alla dofter och låta mig inspireras”

Nothing we all didn’t know already but just as a little reminder. To eat something fresh and colorful to each meal – every day! It can make a difference in your overall health. That way we get the minerals, antioxidants, vitamins and chlorophyll our bodies needs to thrive.

Nu såhär på sommaren när Bondens marknad börjar synas och lanthandlare bunkrar upp med frukt och grönt i regnbågens alla färger är det bara att rycka åt sig härligheterna och helst njuta av dom i sitt naturliga tillstånd. Så ofta som möjligt. Kanske även göra en god råkosttallrik till lunch? Grön matglädje. Bondens Marknad,

So, hit up your local farmers market and pick out the most fresh and colorful fruits and veggies you can find and enjoy, to each and every meal OR use it AS a meal. I love farmers markets, It gives me lots of inspiration.

Welcome to Californication…

… a healthier take on life.

Thanks so much for visiting my page here at Vavawoom. It’s going to be a lot of fun being surrounded by all these amazing and inspiring people from all over the world. My name is Marita Karlson and I live in Venice, CA. I’v been here for almost 8 years now… time flies when you have fun, they say. I spend most of my time here on the westside and up and down the southern Cali coast – and there are a few good reasons for that.

 The healthy eateries – I am really spoiled in Venice. There are many fabulous raw food places and juice bars I like. I also cook a lot and I make smoothies all the time. Delicious smoothies and nourishing juices and other easy recipes preferably with greens and veggies from local sources. I’m gonna share all that with you and of course great restaurants in the Venice, SM and Malibu area. This is lovely Los Angeles after all, where many health trends are born and I’m here to give you trend reports from the health world and body&mind. I hope you will like it.

The easy access to the farms  –  L.A. is where the “farm to table” concept is super hot and I adore that stuff – the farm life.  Just look at this picture and imagine yourself sitting there waiting for the chef to bring you the food she picked from this ranch just moments ago. Farm dinner season is coming up.

“Nothing is better than waking up early and hit the trails”

The beaches  – after 8 years its almost devastating to think about not living by a beach, the fresh salty air does so good for me. The mountains – easy escape to my favorite canyons. Nothing is better than waking up early and hit the trails. If there is a waterfall involved, bingo! Here, in the canyons above Malibu and Topanga is where most of my “hidden gems” are hiding out, places so far away from busy freeways as it can get. Yes, I’m totally gonna share them with you… in both english and swedish.
