Today, I would like to introduce my first and highly eco-fashionable guest Marni Wasserman. I have come to know and appreciate Marni’s very distinct style over the past year as well as her many eco-conscious business ventures. From her dynamic cooking seminars, to her expertise in nutrition, Marni is considered to be the health and wellness guru of her generation, not to mention her fabulous sense of style. She not only is a contributing writer for Tonic Magazine, but she is also the author of several fabulous e-books, including Veggin’ Comfortably.
I was pleased to hear that Marni’s top 3 tips to make this the most fabulous holiday season mainly involved relaxation, food and cozy drinks to prepare at home. As much as I love social events I also really appreciate Mette time at home (hence… home spa products).
Below find Marni’s 3 tips to holiday dream land:
Fabulous lifestyle from Toast UK
- Wear comfy sweaters and pajamas all day long. The best part about the holidays is that you have no reason to change out of your pajamas – especially when you are spending the day with loved ones. At the very least, wrap yourself up in your comfiest sweater. This will make you feel warm, happy and free to just be yourself.
- Put your feet up by a warm fire with a Mette Vangso pillow behind your head. Nothing says relaxation like a plush lavender pillow that soothes away tension and stress. There is no better time than the holidays to take advantage of some “you” time! (I swear I did not ask Marni to say this!)
- Indulge in cozy, warm and fuzzy drinks and food. My all time favorite drink would be my homemade Heart Warming Chai.
Do give it a try:

Ingredients
1 cup pure water
1 cup Ryza rice (or almond) milk
1 cinnamon stick
4 pieces of cloves
1⁄3 inch fresh ginger root, sliced
3 pieces whole peppercorns
1⁄3 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
1⁄4 teaspoon whole cardamom seeds
2 teaspoons Rooibos tea
Honey, maple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten
How it’s Made
1. Simmer all spices in 1 cup of pure water covered for 30 minutes.
2. Add the tea and milk and bring to a rolling boil.
3. Reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, cool slightly to comfortable drinking temperature and serve with a sweetener of your choice, or plain.
Now that I’ve shared what I learned from Marni, remember to relax and take care of yourself and let the joy begin. I am definitely going to try this recipe. Maybe right after I post this.
And stay tuned as I embark on my quest for more fun and fabulous tips to make this holiday season more enjoyable.
