How to be a Goddess even when you Hate your Job article on elephant journal
January 7, 2016
elephant journal just published my article, “How to be a Goddess even when you Hate your Job“! It’s my first-ever article with them.
I jive with their mission: “elephant is dedicated to bringing together those working (and playing) to create enlightened society.” Hey, that’s me!
I’ve been hearing a lot of my patients bemoan how much they hate their job, but yet want to own their glorious Goddess selves.
I thought I’d write something to help them out. If you also find yourself in this situation, I hope it helps you, too.
Please check it out, and let me know your thoughts!

Margarita’s Turmeric Face Mask Recipe On Long Island Pulse Magazine
January 7, 2016
Sometime last year, Sharon Feiereisen of Long Island Pulse Magazine asked me to contribute a DIY face mask recipe for her upcoming article, which she just published!
It’s called, “4 DIY Spa Recipes From the Pros“. Check it out!
I jumped at the chance to talk about turmeric and honey, both of which I love for their anti-inflammatory properties, and are also considered Chinese Medicinal herbs. I also talked about jade rollers, which are great to use to bring Qi to the face!
