Profile Information

About Me:
My diet consits of vegan, gluten-free cooked, raw and living food. I love to sprout and drink fermented drinks! :)

I love being a part of this supportive and welcoming community! Thank you all for your inspiration and for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Moral support, sharing recipes.. I'm really interested in the health benefits of foods as well as the harmful effects. The more I understand how harmful a food item can be to my body, the easier it is to completely eliminate it. Still weighing out some of the benefits of cooked food..
Relationship Status:
Single
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
Avocados, fresh mangos!, cashew apples!!, watermelon, big fan of Kale, carrots and apples. Simple. Oh and I could probably live off of smoothies. Recipes:Anything Mexican or Indian! Mmm..
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
Dance, Capoeira, Books, Writing, Traveling, Movement! I'm especially into Bikram Yoga and am interested in attending a school for Yoga Teacher Training- not Bikram specific. I'm really interested in the healing arts and am thinking about doing body work as well.
GI2MR Oath: I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I will not name call or throw around personal attacks. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. When possible, I'll try to smile : )
Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.
Bonitos Recuerdos.

RAW Relationships..

Hmmm.. what would that be like? Smoothies in bed, surprise baggies of raw cashews in my purse, a full glass of water by my bed in the morning... cold watermelon on hot Arizona nights! Mmmm... I'm not entirely raw, but I'm at a point where it's so natural for me to 100% raw for an entire day and not even notice.. I balance my meals, I eat what I crave- because I feel like if my body craves it, it must be because I need it- I shop only in the produce section, and I absolutely despise eating out. A… Continue

And then suddenly I realized.. it's stress!

Of course it is!.. the acne and the weight shifting around like it's everyone's busines.. (I'm losing weight right now and aside from that, the only thing that can put me at ease is running 4-8 miles and that doesn't exactly help). lol I'm optimistic, though.. I realized how hard I was being on myself... I'm quite proud of my diet actually; though not 100% RAW, I don't eat anything I'm not proud of eating. (No refined sugar, fried food, gluten, or animal products. Much less anything processed).… Continue

RAW is getting to my head! My honest confessions..


Me.. I've been hiding from the camera lately...

Soooo I have been eating mostly raw for over a year now but have continued eating vegan, gluten-free cooked foods as well. From time to time I'll eat only raw but being in the military and living like a gypsy makes it diificult to maint… Continue

My name is Crystal. Felt compelled to share..

I'm not even really sure how this works. lol. Can people view my blogs? I needed to vent and didn't feel like livejournal or myspace would understand. ;)



I've been in transition mode for over a year now, and it's kinda driving me crazy. I have moved four times and worked as a "profess… Continue

This school will be an interesting place to study for you. I love kombucha. Now, rejuvelac I probably only had once...I forgot what it tastes like but it's good for you....looks like you like to do flips and jump a lot...that's cool...I used to do some of that in martial arts also.

Hey hey lady. I'm in the Paradise Valley/Scottsdale area. How are you liking the desert so far? I think it's pretty magical. Where did you relocate from? :)

I know there's a naturopathic college by you in Tempe. You don't go to naturopathic school or hang out with any of those students down there, do you? Do you drink fermented drinks like malt drinks? Are malt drinks even fermented...they must be.

Hey hey, I can definitely understand how your viewpoint on the military has changed as you've grown older. I guess it's like anything else, as we mature, so does our view on whatever the issue may be. I can't believe how much I've changed in the past 5 years even in the past 6 months. I guess it's important to reinvent yourself every now and again.

Yeah, I'm a huge Bob Marley fan. He communicated so much wisdom in such simple language with such beautiful music. That's one of my favorite quotes, and it's always a grounding point for me. Whenever I get caught up with something or frustrated with a situation I just remind myself that nothing external needs to cause me any distress. I can control it all with my mind :)

Do you listen to a lot of his music?

Hey, I randomly stumbled onto your profile and was curious to know what your reasons were for joining the military???

Haha! Probably Charles! I actually bought this dress at the spirit fest because it was on sale and made from 100% organic hemp. The rest of the clothes I brought were pretty grubby. :)

You can always ask a produce dept. employee at Whole Foods to cut one open so you can try it before you waste your money. It's store policy to let people sample things:)
