The Whole Foods Shopping List Supermodel Naomi Campbell Swears By
I personally hate the grocery store. Along with long lines and always forgetting what I initially came in for, I cannot stand spending money; but when it comes to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, it's a completely different story.
Stocked full of fresh fruit and veggie alternatives and unusual ingredients, natural grocery stores are a true bougie foodie's dream and apparently, not only home chefs such as myself love shopping at Whole Foods, supermodels dig it, too.
Naomi Campbell recently let fans take a peek at her shopping list in a new series that features the 49-year-old icon being effortlessly fabulous while doing regular, everyday sh*t; and shopping for grapes has never been more glamorous. According to Naomi, online groceries have never and will never be her thing, and she prefers to tackle her weekly grocery shopping by her damn self, thank you.
She and her crew recently stopped by Whole Foods to pick up some last-minute essentials, and we have all the details on what's in this beautiful Brit's Fridge:
Japanese Pears, Grapes, & Peaches

There's no part of our bodies that's as problematic as a sweet tooth, and Naomi Campbell feels that in her spirit. In the video, the model explained that she's turned to fruit as a means to recover from her former candy dependency, and stocked up on ripe peaches, grapes, and Japanese pears, which are high in both fiber and vitamin C.
Lots Of Lemons & A Bag Of Mandarin Oranges

According to science, lemons not only offer a healthy dose of vitamin C, but they can also assist in weight loss, improve digestive health, and have killer antibacterial properties, so it's no wonder why Naomi makes sure to secure a (grocery) bag full every time she goes food shopping.
Basil

Naomi grabbed about six packages of this magnesium-rich herb and although I'm not sure why she bought so much, I now feel like I, too, need more fresh basil in my fridge.
Essential Oils: Bergamot & Clary Sage

I was today years old when I learned that you could buy essential oils from Whole Foods, but you learn something new every day. Naomi picked up some rosemary oil, which can reduce anxiety and inflammation, bergamot oil (a great natural alternative for fighting acne), and clary sage, which is great for for indigestion and stress relief.
Spicy Olives

Apparently, not only are the prepared olives at Whole Foods healthy AF, but they're delicious too. Olives are high in vitamin E, improve cholesterol levels, and are reportedly the perfect snack for a woman on the go.
Raisins

Although this is the aisle that Naomi finds most tedious, she needs her nuts and somebody's gotta pick 'em. Along with cashews and walnuts, the model also stocks up on raisins, but not before wasting half of them on the floor.
Peach, Blueberry, & Vanilla Coconut Yogurt

Recently, Naomi gave up all of her favorite comfort foods and went dairy-, gluten-, and wheat-free, but she didn't say goodbye to yogurt. She picked a few containers of So Delicious dairy-free yogurt in blueberry, vanilla coconut, and peach.

When discussing the topic of raising children, discipline is often the first thing that comes to mind. Children need discipline. Full stop. But what is discipline? And how do we draw the line between discipline and revenge?
The origin of the word "discipline" can be traced back to the Latin word "disciplina," which means "instruction" or "teaching." Over time, however, discipline has come to be synonymous with punishment, with parents relying on shame, fear, and/or physical pain to curb undesirable behavior.
Teaching takes time, so nipping it in the bud in whatever fashion parents deem necessary (within reason) has become the norm. But is this what’s best for children? And when does it become less about curbing undesirable behavior and more about getting our licks back for offenses we feel our children should know better to do?
In my work as a parenting coach, I’ve often heard parents say, “I asked him nicely three times before spanking him. He didn’t stop doing it until I did, so clearly talking doesn’t work.”
And the parent isn’t wrong. Talking often doesn’t work the first, the third, or the even the 10th time. And the reason is directly tied to brain development.
Children cannot and do not process information the way an adult can. Auditory processing is not fully developed until a child is 14 or 15 years old. And even then, if a child has auditory processing delays or Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), they may always struggle with processing auditory commands. According to Susie S. Loraine, MA, CCC-SLP, the term auditory processing refers to how the brain perceives and interprets sound information. Several skills determine auditory processing ability—or listening success. They develop in a general four-step hierarchy, but all work together and are essential for daily listening.
Without this understanding, discipline can easily become revenge because parents will then view their child’s misdeeds as a personal slight. Instead of teaching them to do better, parents now want to show them the consequences of not doing better. This is why it's imperative for parents to discern between discipline and revenge to maintain healthy relationships with their children.
5 WAYS TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PARENTAL GUIDANCE AND RETALIATION:
Understanding The Intent
Discipline is rooted in love and concern for the child's well-being. It focuses on teaching lessons and helping children understand the consequences of their actions. Conversely, revenge-driven actions stem from a desire to inflict pain or punishment as payback for perceived slights or disobedience. Parents should reflect on their motives before taking disciplinary actions. Ask yourself whether your intention is to help your child learn or to make them suffer for upsetting you.
Example: If a child accidentally breaks a valuable item, a disciplinary response would involve discussing the importance of being careful and working with the child to come up with a way to replace or fix what they’ve broken. On the other hand, a vengeful reaction might involve yelling, harsh punishment, or bringing up past mistakes to intensify guilt.
Maintaining Emotional Regulation
Effective discipline requires parents to remain calm and composed, even in challenging situations. It's natural to feel upset or frustrated when children misbehave, but responding with anger or resentment can escalate the situation and blur the line between discipline and revenge. Before addressing the issue, take a moment to breathe and collect your thoughts.
Example: If a child cannot follow instructions, a disciplined response would involve calmly explaining why their cooperation is necessary in working with the child to accomplish the goal. Conversely, a retaliatory response might involve shouting, name-calling, or resorting to physical punishment out of anger.
Promoting Growth and Learning
Discipline should always aim to promote growth and learning. It involves guiding children toward making better choices and understanding the impact of their actions on themselves and others. Effective discipline strategies include positive reinforcement, setting clear expectations, and providing opportunities for reflection and growth.
Example: If a child repeatedly forgets to complete their chores, a disciplinary approach would involve discussing the importance of responsibility and finding solutions together, such as creating a chore chart or setting reminders with Siri or Alexa. In contrast, a revenge-driven response might involve imposing overly harsh punishments or belittling the child, which can undermine their self-esteem and hinder their ability to learn from their mistakes.

Building Trust and Communication
Trust and open communication are essential components of a healthy parent-child relationship. Discipline should strengthen this bond by fostering trust and encouraging children to confide in their parents without fear of judgment or retaliation. When children feel safe and supported, they're more likely to accept discipline as a form of guidance rather than punishment.
Example: If a child admits to breaking a rule or making a mistake, a disciplined response would involve listening to their perspective, discussing the consequences of their actions, and working together to find a solution. Conversely, a retaliatory response might involve accusations, blame, or shutting down communication, which can erode trust and damage the parent-child relationship.
Seeking Professional Guidance
Parenting is a learning journey, and, disciplining children is a delicate balance between guiding them toward responsible behavior and nurturing their growth. By understanding the intent behind our actions, maintaining emotional regulation, promoting growth and learning, building trust and communication, and seeking professional guidance when needed, as parents we can help our children built on love, respect, and understanding.
