i have used the pumpkin peel before and i really like it. it works great! it burns but thats how it works. i havent tried anything else in the line because i only can find it online but i bet the other products are great too.
I have been a vegan for the last 7 years. I simply reached a point where I felt stagnant in my health journey and I knew it was time to commit to being raw. I am the mother of a beautiful two year old son, who I raised as a vegan from birth and I am in a committed relationship with my soul mate. It is my goal to include my family in my raw journey as much as possible. My son is always a willing participant but it may take some more time for my man to adjust:)

Yeah, I hear you. I love the diversity on this site. It feels good to see/meet people who share the same dietary goals as well as similar cultural backgrounds. My hubby, Sam, is dancing to Settle For My Love, LOL...Your music is soooo good.
Yes there is a great deal of time that goes into this lifestyle. Did you start a 28 day detox yesterday?

Hi Alicia. It's good to hear from you. Unfortunately, I don't know what has become of NuNu. I hope that all is well with her. I only "spoke" with her a few times here... :)
Hey! What's up? My hubby and I were in Cancun for our honeymoon in July of 2007. It was really quite a lovely time...The Yucatan peninsula is sooo beautiful. We had a great time, we stayed at an all-inclusive resort. It was a great experience but the next time I go to an all inclusive I will definitely use more wisdom about what I consume. We both went hog-wild eating and drinking...It was fun but I gained 7 pounds in one week! LOL. That is never good...
