Oprah Winfrey isn’t letting the demise of her media empire get her down.
The talk show diva stepped out today for a hardcore session of retail therapy in Beverly Hills. Looking ready to battle the California sun in a loose-fitting floral blouse, white gypsy skirt and the most adorable pair of white kitten heel peep-toes, Miss O greeted fans and happily offered her autograph to her many admirers who gathered at the upscale retailer to catch a glimpse of the most powerful woman on television.
After doing a little (and we’re talkin’ tiny when it comes to Oprah dollars) on her credit card, Oprah was driven to a high-end vegan restaurant where she (well, her minders) picked up some goodies to go. Why vegan, you ask? Miss Winfrey recently started a 21-day cleanse diet developed by spiritual counselor Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness.
The self-admitted food addict has eliminated caffeine, sugar, alcohol, gluten and animal products on the diet, which usually lasts 3 weeks.
Says Oprah: “I had recently come to the conclusion that after spending weeks reading and rereading A New Earth and being on line with Eckhart Tolle that bringing a higher level of awareness to my eating was the solution I’d been avoiding. How can you say you’re trying to spiritually evolve, without even a thought about what happens to the animals whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony?”
