I am trying to change all I do along with going raw. I would like to know what people do for cosmetics, shampoos, cleaning materials, etc. Does anyone make there own or know of a really good vegan, non animal testing range.
I would also be grateful for some on line sites to buy things like coconut water and raw nuts etc.
Blessings

Hi Pammie
Great to hear from you and your planned life changes. There are plenty of vegan cosmetics etc. around, some more expensive than others. I like the Faith in Nature Shampoos and Conditioners, they are vegan and non-animal tested, very reasonably priced and I think they are pleasant to use. The are more expensive options such as Raw Gaia but I prefer to spend my money on the things that go inside my body rather than outside it, like food!
There is a very nice raw food online site called Have Raw Cake And Eat It who could offer you 10% off until 30th September with the discount code RAWFOODUK

Hi there Pammie,
How about making your own?
Lemon juice or bicarb of soda are good for washing your hair. You can make a hair rinse with an infusion of nettle and rosemary and a little cider vinegar - you know what goes into them and they are pretty much free!

Hi Pam,
I use pure olive oil soap, as most of the suposed healthy cleaning products/shampoos all have horrible chemicals in. Hemp oil is great for your skin, ( make sure its in a dark bottle to prevent any light turning the oil rancid) and coconut oil/butter is also good. I use both in my hair too. Theres not much difference between putting stuff in your mouth or on your skin, It will end up in your blood either way. Our skin is porous ! I dont put anything on my skin I cant eat ! Our "insides" are also our outsides we have a hollow tube going right thru us, and we have a skin of sorts inside too...
My food processor burnt out and I'm considering getting the Magic Bullet as a replacement. Can it also make things like date/nut bars as well as smoothies? Do cheap blenders work well at making daily green smoothies?
