about

Hi! I'm Larisa and I am utterly in love with food and its counterparts. I adore cooking because good food is unforgettable. Further, healthy good food can be life changing. You can trust that the recipes you find on this blog will better your body and mind-without losing your sanity. Besides recipes, I also post homemade beauty regimens, health and cooking tips, products that i love, and adorable 'food gifts' for deserving loved ones. 

Modeling

I have been modeling for Elite Model Management for nearly 5 years. I started my career with Elite Miami under my mother agency, Pulse Management in Salt Lake City. I was scouted at the mall as i was running through 'Dicks Sporting Goods' to work at 'Abercrombie'. (yes, people really do get scouted at the mall). I have traveled to more countries than i could've ever imagined; My favorite being, Sweden or New Zealand. I've worked for Guess, GQ, Womens Health, Nordstroms, Kohls, Macy's, SELF, and Michael Kors to name a few. I've been incredibly blessed and lucky to experience so much-so young all because of this incredible career.

I encourage you to write with any questions you have regarding modeling, dieting, working out, cooking, or thoughtful thoughts. Please refer to the Contact page for contact info. 
However, Facebook is sometimes faster. If you prefer Facebook for contact or for information about my work/pictures/updates you can 'like' my Fan page, www.facebook.com/larisafraser.

Geography
I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with the frequent trip to Milwaukee, WI. Therefore,  I have access to fresh produce, Cheese and Ice Cream...in terms of diet, this can get a little confusing.

Other Blogging Adventures

I previously worked on a blog called 'Bikini Sweetie'. I would post tips for working out, beauty regimens, and recipes. I wanted Bikini Sweetie to be a place for girls to be able to communicate with a me and ask for advice. When I was growing up i didn't talk about simple things like hair, wearing a bra, feeling 'chubby', losing weight, shaving, etc. with my friends. No one did. You simply just had to 'figure it out'. My goal with Bikini Sweetie was just to help one girl with one question and the response was greater than I'd hoped. Thanks to all of the girls and occasional man that wrote in and i ask you not to stop just because i don't actively post anymore. I have realized how much cooking has enhanced my life and those around me. Its about making people feel good and communicating the thought behind the food.
