Well, it finally happened… I turned the big FIVE-O. Yup, that’s half a century, folks! Woah. How did this happen? I swear I just turned 30 a few years ago! I knew it was coming eventually and even experienced my first hot flashes (eradicated by my naturopath/acupuncturist Andre Kowzlowski whom I now worship), but joining the esteemed Fifty Club came way too fast. Especially since I certainly don’t feel that old.
As a matter of fact, I feel more vibrant at 50 than I did in my 20’s. I have more energy, better muscle strength and tone, clearer skin, stabler emotions (when those hormones aren’t kicking in, that is), and my weight maintains itself naturally. Plus, I rarely get sick. Sure, a few wrinkles and gray hairs are popping up here & there, but the truth is, I feel more comfortable in my skin than ever before. Yet another reason to be raw!
Thanks to my thoughtful (and very sneaky) husband Mark (& my darling mom for keeping a secret!) for making my birthday so memorable. It was the perfect bash full of my favorite people. My raw vegan cake was pretty delicious too.
surPRISE!
I love unexpected visits with friends and family.
I also got to spend part of my special day with talented photographer Jerome Scullino. I hadn’t been in a studio since my modeling days 20 some years ago, and I have to say that I most definitely enjoyed our shoot. Talk about FUN! If you ever want professional photos, Jerome is the man!
Raw at 50 is pretty fabulous.

Hi Natasha,
Which micro algae do you take that you list in your food log?
I don’t mean the 4 oz. E3 Live listed but that is micro algae also is it not? Many thanks.
Belated birthday wishes!
Thanks for the b’day wishes, Heather.
I’m taking Bio micro algae with fantastic results. My chronic joint pain vanished within a very short period of eating it. For more info on this amazing food, click on the Bio Age link to the right of the page. Enjoy! 🙂
Buon compleanno Natasha! Sorry I could not be there! You look radiant!
Peace and love,
Gratia
Thanks for the b’day wishes, Gratia. Hope to see you one of these days soon! xxx
Happy birthday! The January potluck will actually be a couple of days before my birthday so I’ll just pretend it’s a party. 😉
Hope you had a lovely Birthday, Shannon! 🙂
Happy 50th Natasha!!! I never would have guest. Something to look forward to when I get there in 16 years 😉 Ciao Bella!
Happy Birthday Natasha Wow a brand new # to celebrate*
You sure look 20 years younger, maybe there is a mistake on your Birth certificate.
Wishes for a fun year*
