Raw Beauty
Like a lot of other raw foodists, I use extra-virgin coconut oil as a moisturizer. But I also use raw foods to create scrubs and facials. For instance, when I make nut milk, I'll use some of the left over nut granuals as a body and face scrub or I mash a couple of raspberries with raw honey for a facial. I haven't tried it yet, but I was reading that an overly ripe avocado is also great for a moisturizing facial, hand or hair treatment. I've always loved the idea of using what's in the kitchen instead of buying over-priced, chemical-ridden products at spas or department stores. Was wondering if you all had some other suggestions for natural beauty treatments.

What an interesting idea! It does seem a shame to throw out the nut bits after making milk. I'll have to try this. I like a good body scrub... and the more natural, the better!

Would soaking them help? I've read that nuts in general has alot of anti-nutrients & soaking is always suggested.
Does anyone make raw recipes for their pets? Do you think it's healthy for dogs to not eat meat?
I LOVE this post. you have nailed on the head so many things that I think, about religion, food, dogma, etc.
