Sparkler Spirts,
It's been a wild month of travel and I feel super-charged by all the creative and health-conscious entrepreneurs I've met! I'm also mega-motivated by the love and soulful exploration at my Facebook fan page, Crazy Sexy Consults and weekly vlogs. Which brings me to what we should all declare independence from on the fourth—STRESS! Beneath the eating disorders, disease, depression, and fatigue lies a whole lotta effing stress. We've got to clean that gunk from our wheels before we can zoom down the joyful highway! Let's work together to do that. We've got tons of support and inspiration happening at myCSL and Crazysexylife.com! I try to stop stress before it starts by journaling each morning, drinking my green juice, taking long walks in the woods behind my house, cuddling with Lola and Brian, making gratitude lists, and techno detoxing. What do you do? I cover a special stress-reducing exercise in the vlog today, so leave your thoughts and tips in the comments section. On another note, you know who has been lighting my creative fire lately? Rich, Happy and Hot Marie Forleo at MarieForleo.com and Danielle LaPorte over at WhiteHotTruth.com! Check these ladies out if you're looking to kick-start your entrepreneurial dreams! Peace and personal fireworks,

Book of the Month
 Looking for the perfect Summer read? Kick back with this smart, funny and touching novel by Allie Larkin! Here's what best-selling author Beth Hoffman had to say about STAY:
"With humor and exceptional charm, Allie Larkin’s story of a heartbroken young woman and the arrival of a clumsy four-legged friend who brings new meaning to her life is simply wonderful. Stay is a treat of a novel that must be shared with every girlfriend who has ever loved and lost."

Menu Magic
Strawberry-Arugula Salad by Earthmother in the Raw
Salad: -1 pint strawberries, sliced -1 bunch arugula
Vinaigrette: -1/4 C fresh lime juice -1 tsp local raw honey or substitute agave, stevia, or sweetener of choice -1/2 tsp sea salt -1/4 C extra virgin olive oil -handful of freshly torn mint leaves -freshly ground pepper to taste
To prepare the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a jar. Close tightly and shake vigorously to combine. Of course, you can whisk the ingredients in a small bowl, but I think it's much more fun to shake it up, baby. Toss arugula and the red springtime jewels in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over top.
That's it for now folks. As always, we love you!
Peace and Veggies, Kris and the CSL Team (L stands for LIFE!)
