Eat In. Fresh fruit salad with yogurt and coconut.

Whenever I'm trying to be healthy, yogurt and fruit are my first thoughts. Earlier this week, I got a small container of strawberries, blueberries, and mango at Whole Foods. I figured I'd split this between three mornings for breakfast, with yogurt.

I used Stonyfield Farm organic low fat french vanilla, but any favorite yogurt would work here. To make things a bit more delicious and interesting (and admittedly less healthy), I topped it off with some sweetened shredded coconut I had in the cupboard. This was a move inspired by the Fresh Fruit Salad at Malibu's John's Garden--one of my all-time favorite lunch spots. They also use chopped roasted almonds, which I may include tomorrow.

This is a great quick and easy breakfast, or a good sandwich alternative for lunch on a summery day--like the ones we've been having this week.

Check It. $300 Million Yacht.

This $300 million Phillipe Starck-designed mega yacht has been spotted hanging out off the Malibu coast recently--and completely dwarfing it. It is known as "A" (see bottom left of photo) and is owned by a Russian billionaire.

NBC Los Angeles, one of the first to make note of the sighting, reports the yacht's travel from San Diego to San Francisco, "essentially spreading yacht envy to Californians everywhere".

The Wall Street Journal had an in-depth profile of "A" in April, which includes a slideshow of photos of some of the yacht's 23,600 square feet of living space.
