SANTA-MONICA-CONVENTION-300x154Santa Monica Convention & Visitors Bureau (SMCVB) will celebrate Santa Monica’s healthy lifestyle with its 2nd annual Eat Well Week from Jan. 5 – 12, 2014, in conjunction with California Restaurant Month. During Eat Well Week, more than a dozen of Santa Monica’s top restaurants will offer discounted pre-fixe menus and healthy new menu options to kick-off a healthier 2014.

Several Santa Monica newcomers will join some of the city’s established favorites to participate in the campaign with specially crafted Eat Well Week menus. At the Santa Monica Pier’s brand-new Al Mare, diners can enjoy a pulled chicken breast salad, grilled jumbo shrimp over vegetable cous cous, and pineapple tar-tar with strawberry yogurt sorbet for dessert. The Viceroy’s rebranded Cast restaurant will be serving up Tuscan kale salad, roasted beats and miso-glazed salmon, amongst other nutritious options. Locando del Lago’s Chef Gianfranco’s Eat Well Week menu features a roasted dorade fillet, aromatic herbs, parsnip puree and sautéed spinach, all created with the freshest organic produce, purchased locally from the Santa Monica farmers’ market.

“Santa Monica chefs take great pride in creating fresh farm-to-table dishes for an audience that has come to expect nothing but California cuisine at its finest,” said SMCVB CEO/President, Misti Kerns. “We invite you experience the healthy culinary creations that our local chefs have created for Santa Monica Eat Well Week and join us in celebrating a healthier new year!”

No sun, but still want the glow? Get a healthy and natural faux glow at Santa Monica’s Chocolate Sun, which offers organic and antioxidant-infused airbrush tanning. As the pioneer and creator of the first organic sunless tanning solution chocked full of anti aging antioxidants, Chocolate Sun was recognized by Allure Magazine in their 2013 “Best of Beauty Awards”.

SPEND MORE TIME UPSIDE DOWN
Studies have show that performing inversions lead to increased energy, spine lengthening, increased strength and flexibility and better digestion. Gain all of this and more with Jill Franklin’s Aerial Physique, offered at M7 Fitness on Montana Avenue. Aerial Physique uses an apparatus called “aerial silk” to give you the strength of a Cirque du Soleil performer, the beautiful lines of a ballet dancer and the ease of movement like a Pilates pro.

START WITH HEALTHY INGREDIENTS
A clean healthy diet begins with fresh simple ingredients. Start 2013 off right by visiting one of the acclaimed Santa Monica Farmers Markets. Choose from four weekly markets, each with their own unique personality and experience, to discover the seasonal ingredients that will inspire your new lifestyle.

ENHANCE YOUR COOKING SKILLS
