Apple Cider Vinegar

How to use Apple Cider Vinegar and benefits.

ACV soak

Apple Cider Vinegar has so many health benefits. For ten years now Apple Cider Vinegar  has been a part of my health routine and I absolutely believe in it’s many benefits .I’m going to cite an article here  http://www.ponti.com/en/apple-cider-vinegar/   that goes into more detail about the uses and benefits of Apple cider vinegar. I’m more aware of what I put into my body and our diet is the biggest contributor to our lifestyle.  Each of us have a different commitment, when it comes to how we consume our meals.  Having such a busy active life means you  get up earlier or spend your Sunday food prepping for the week ahead. Traveling for work and being on the road I get it. We have to go out of our way to find good healthy snacks and meals . It’s not always easy. I have a system of how I prepare fruits and veggies for meals and snacks. I usually make a dressing for salads using either an orange or lemon , a teaspoon of  dijon mustard and olive oil. I love to prepare tomato salsa or a mint yogurt dip for those mid day cravings that strike when I’m working from home . Having fresh cut up veggies and a dip is filling , low glycemic and energy boosting especially during these cold winter months .Fruits and  vegetables like broccoli , carrots , celery , and cucumber  makes it easier to have a healthy meal or snack on hand especially if you work from home.

Cleaning your fruits and vegetables

For tomatoes, bell peppers, strawberries, blueberries, and fruits with skins I like to take a teaspoon of Apple Cider vinegar or sodium bicarbonate, fill a bowl with water and  soak them for about 10 to 20  minutes. It not only preserves them but cleans off any pesticides naturally. Apple cider vinegar  is a good staple to have in your home. You can use it for fruit veggie cleaning and it has immunity – antimicrobial  benefits as well. If I feel myself  under the weather or when I’m congested with my sinuses I like to have a teaspoon of ACV in hot or 8 OZ of room temperature water.  My go to tonic is half a lemon juiced with fresh ginger grated or a small piece chopped up and  cinnamon sprinkled in a mug of hot water. I drink this every night or every other night. Sometimes I like to add in a teaspoon of raw honey for sweetness. You can mix in a teaspoon of Apple cider vinegar if this concoction will help you choke it down. I know for many it tastes awful so mixing it in hot water or with the ingredients listed  above can help a lot.

Turmeric is so good for you as well . I like to make a  “golden milk ” latte. I warm a cup ( 6-8 oz- ) of almond milk , then stir in a teaspoon of turmeric  fresh grated or powder (be careful it stains) a pinch of black pepper for absorption, some grated ginger , and honey . You can buy many Golden Milk mixes already prepared but just make sure you read the ingredients carefully .They can add sugar and other additives that don’t make the healthiest Golden Milk  I prefer to just  buy turmeric by itself and grate it just like fresh ginger .

As the weather turns cold and Fall transitions into winter I hope these food tips  bring you some comfort ! Stay warm and healthy XO Tera

Crabby in Krabi – The Rocky Part of our Thailand trip

Krabi by The Sea .. Leaving Chiang Mai in the beautiful mountains it was time to spend the last two weeks of our Thailand trip by the sea. For months Alberto and I watched our favorite YouTuber Paddy Doyle document his entire journey through every providence in Thailand and we couldn’t wait to see the breathtaking seaside for ourselves. If you’ve been reading about my trips you know what I mean when I say there’s a “dip in the trip “.. This is usually the part where I’m not feeling it or enjoying myself . August is the monsoon season in Thailand so expect a lot of rain . We arrived to Krabi airport late around nine-thirty P.M , and were bombarded with driver’s who insisted on taking us to our hotel as there were no other options .. It was a bit unnerving , being crammed into a van with ten other people , completely dark , pouring rain with a two hour ride to the other side of the island since our hotel was the furthest away but here we go! Low Tides and Limestone cliffs We finally arrived to our Hotel http://krabihomeresort.com and it was going to be sweet relief to climb into bed after a day of traveling. A staff member (BLESS HIM) waited for us to arrive (at midnight no less)  had an umbrella , change (for our shuttle driver ) and big smile on his face as he carried our luggage up the hill to our bungalow. Morning brought us overcast skies but warm smiles from the wonderful staff at our resort and a good breakfast . We’d have to wait until tomorrow to get a longtail boat since the forecast was rain and rough seas. We decided to explore our beach area Tubkaak , and spend the day relaxing and eating some good home cooked Thai food.. The tide was low so I was able to Vlog and walk quite a bit. The sunset was stunning.. Hong Island (Koh Hong) Our hostess at our resort booked a longtail boat so we set of to Hong Island . It takes about 20 minutes and is an easy quick day trip . Located in the Thanbok Kharanee National Park  the beach is divided into two sections. The landing spot for the longtail boats is where you pay 400 thai baht to enter the national park . We climbed the 420 steps to the Hong Island Viewpoint which was quite a workout but you’re rewarded with the most breathtaking view of this magical island . The white sand beach is super soft ,clear, and warm. We took some beautiful photos then got back on the longtail boat so we could swim in the Hong lagoon .You have to pass through a narrow rock opening to enter the lagoon but it’s another world . The towering limestone cliffs , and turquoise water are breathtaking … Have your hotel pack a  lunch or grab food and snacks if you plan to spend the day on the island or boat.  I don’t recall if there’s a shop to get food or snacks once you get to the island.. A watertight beach bag is a must to protect your clothes, phone, and anything you bring with you onto the beach.I recommend checking with your local host also for the weather since it can change rapidly. We were having the sweetest sea time here , so why did I have to suggest we see something else… Rocky times in Railay So here’s where our trip gets rocky.. Railay Beach was a quick trip from Ao Nang the main hub and starting point  of Krabi . After 3 days I thought let’s go see another part of the Island! It’s not that I get bored (well sometimes) . It’s that I want to see as much as I can when I’m in a new destination. So we drove the two hours to the Ao Nang pier , then a 10 minute longtail boat ride and finally we were towed into the Railay Beach resort and spa by a tractor . My first impression of Railay beach west wasn’t a good one. The scenery and landscape is pretty but the beach itself was dirty. Or should I say .. messy ? Walking the beach path towards our resort I couldn’t help but feel like we stepped into some some kind of trap. Tourist trap maybe ? Weed shops, fast food and a few tiny cafes lined the concrete path along the trash filled beach…. Eager to escape the loud techno music and the sound of crocs shuffling against sandy concrete we checked into our room and planned out our next three days… What the heck were we going to do for three days here ? Our resort was big and although outdated in terms of aesthetics three big crystal clear pools called out to me so I could cool off in the scorching humid heat and watch the moneys squabble over snacks they’d steal off of tourists breakfasts plates LOL We found one cafe that served good Pad Thai and wasn’t blaring music 24-7 so that’s where we enjoyed our meals . On our way back from the cafe that first night my husband decides to stop by and inquire about rock climbing tours and signs us both up ! Why not! Those limestone cliffs look easy to climb AND what else is there to do around here! No I’ve never rock climbed in my life but in my Kevin Hart voice “you’re gonna learn today! You’re gonna learn what rock climbing is today ! And here’s how it went .. Phra Nang Beach Shadowrock climbing met us bright and early at Phra Nang Beach along with hundreds of other  tourists also geared up and ready to scale the gorgeous cliffs. I went first and let me tell you what you might already know ; ROCK CLIMBING IS HARD . Mad respect because

X3 Expo in Los Angeles

My first X3 Expo ! Hey guys it’s pouring rain at home here in Italy so I’m catching you all up on my travels ! Christmas 2023 and the New year brought me back to Los Angeles . I stayed an extra three weeks to attend my very first X3 Expo presented by XBIZ . XBIZ is one of the two main B2B and award shows in the Adult industry . I had the privilege of hosting the XBIZ Awards with comedienne Orlando Jones in 2013.  X3 Expo Details The X3 Expo http://X3.show takes place in Hollywood , California mid January at the Hollywood Palladium and features Pornstars (past and present ), webcam models , and creators /influencers from the adult industry. The set up was definitely more “chaotic” compared to the booths and tables that are provided at the AVN show . The Palladium is a nightclub so our setups were bar tables and barstools and we were packed pretty tight together but as pornstars we’re kinda used to that LOL Honestly it was pretty funny for me because I knew literally no one! I have no idea who I signed next to those two days but across from me were my friends Fleshlight http://www.fleshlight.eu/products/tera-patrick . X3 Expo Friends !! Well it turns out I did find my friends after all !! One of my favorite ladies in the industry Lacie Lennon  http://linktr.ee/misslacylennon always comes to see me for a hug and I love talking to her. She’s super smart. I love how she’s handled herself and her career . Tommy Gunn was one of my favorite performers to work with . Such a kind and humble guy. My good friend Gege who’s always traveled with me and did my very first expo in Los Angeles wanted to say hello to Ember Snow who’s always stunning and sweet . I don’t do awards shows anymore but after some time it was great to stay in LA and meet up again with my fans . I don’t think I had made an LA appearance in almost 10 years! Unless you catch me at a CVS or Thai town … It was fun and thank you to my wonderful LA friends and fans who made it out !! XO Tera
