Juice bars seem to be popping up all over Los Angeles, but a new one to take note of is Clover Juice. Wives can rejoice as each fresh, cold pressed juice is the equivalent to 3 pounds of produce. Since all ingredients from Clover come from local distributors and farmers markets, the menu changes seasonally. With two locations to choose from, the La Brea location which offers take away only and 3rd street offering tasty bites from the restaurant Churchill next door. In addition to juices Clover offers Stumptown coffee and gluten free treats from Flore Vegan. -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

Gwyneth Paltrow, Academy-Award winning actress and bestselling cookbook author, returns with recipes for the foods she eats when she wants to lose weight, look good, and feel more energetic.
Last spring, after a particularly grueling schedule and lapse of overindulgence, Gwyneth Paltrow was feeling fatigued and faint. A visit to her doctor revealed that she was anemic, vitamin D deficient, and that her stress levels were sky high. He prescribed an elimination diet to clear out her system and help her body heal. But this meant no coffee, no alcohol, no dairy, no eggs, no sugar, no shellfish, no deep-water fish, no wheat, no meat, no soy, nothing processed at all!

I’m sure we’ve all heard murmurings, read articles or watched news segments on the dangers of aluminum in your deodorant or anti-perspirant. Aluminum is the active key ingredient that gives anti-perspirants the highly effective ability to stop you from sweating. The majority of all commercial deodorants found at Target, Walmart and other pharmacy’s have one thing in common; They all contain up to 25% of aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium or aluminum salts.

One of the many ways I love to stay in shape is from weekly kick boxing sessions with Richard Ronat. Thanks to his demanding, but fun training I have toned arms, firm thighs and sculpted abs. Richard is an expert in Judo, Muay Thai, Shaolin Kung Fu, Gracie Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. Below Richard speaks about the many benefits that kickboxing can add to any wife’s fitness routine. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.
Martial arts, especially kickboxing is an excellent workout for many reasons. One being, it is a full body workout which gets your heart pumping, opens up your lungs and builds muscle. It’s a great way to lose weight because you’re moving everything all at once. Plus, it makes the workout much more fun than doing some mundane treadmill marathon that only ends up feeling repetitive and boring. Kickboxing workouts are always different each session because of all the different combinations of movement. Once you learn the basic punches and kicks then it becomes more fun because you can do more. So, you’re not focused on doing a workout, you’re focused on the technique. Therefore, you get to learn a skill while getting a great workout.
