“Everything in wellness has gone to an extreme” - Sabrina Diaz, my guest, and founder of Grass Roots Juicery, a Brooklyn-based cafe that promotes healthy living through organic cold press juicing, smoothies & healthy food.

We talk about her experience growing up first-generation Dominican in the suburbs of NJ and how being the only hispanic person in her entire class made her ashamed of the things she now takes great pride in: her rich culture, using natural fruits and vegetables for beauty treatments and her beautiful curly hair.

We discuss her favorite things to juice, sugar addiction, her Whole30 experience, the rush of buying new things & how ultimately having less makes you so much happier. We also talk CBD, her addiction to red lipstick, Rent the Runway, plastic surgery & the slippery slope it introduces, the charcoal trend, the Matcha trend, and all the wellness trends that have gone too far.

We also get into a hysterical discussion of NYC nightlife with a bonus Sex & The City snippet. We talk promoters, models, clubs in the Meatpacking District circa 2008.

We wrap up our conversation on the beauty trends we both love like bold, glossy eyes and our general exhaustion with all things #WELLNESS. Here’s to more honest, authentic stories in the year ahead & true wellness > trends.
