I have used Clinique, Estee Lauder, Dr. Haushka, Aveda, my own concoctions (given up all) and something I'm really loving from Whole Foods! It's French and lovely! I've given up on my daily homemade routine, as my face got entirely too dry and was...

I bought this book and really like it! For me, it's worth it. I have only owned 6 raw food books. I wasn't ready for the first 2, so I donated them. I now 4. Eating 4 Beauty is a nice book. It has great pictures and addresses lots of things. I hig...
There are amazing recipes using cacao butter or shea butter or coconut oil along with your favorite essential oils. They're easy enough that my young daughters are into them.
Are you keeping a journal of your fast? I think I'll try to jot down: when I'm hungry, what I want to eat, how long it takes for that feeling to subside... I think it'll show me when I'm eating for reasons other than nourishing my body.
A group focused on Juice Fasting. A place to support each other by swapping tips, sharing experiences, posting pictures, telling stories, and just plain expressing yourself! And anything else to help make juice fasting possible and fun!
I am warm water fasting today, tomorrow, and Monday in an effort to give my body a break during this season change. It's starting to feel cooler in the mornings, and I feel it's time. I hope to journal about the joy and lessons of the Summer and w...
Maca resonates with me. I can feel a difference when I take it. I like to put it into my smoothies. I have been wondering how much is appropriate. I've been putting 1 tsp. in a smoothie or water...

We're living in Old Town Fort Collins while my husband pursues an MBA/DVM. We have two daughters (Isabella, 9, and Juliette, 4). I've been at home for ten years--when I'm not traveling or studying. I grew up in the Ozarks where lots of wild food grows: persimmons, cherries, plums, black walnuts, blackberries, strawberries, gooseberries. We still have lovely property there that we'd like to use in an uplifting way. I earned a degree in Early Childhood Education from Mizzou. (I love Montessori and Free School and giving children opportunities to express themselves.) I've been distributing Nikken products since 2000. I became a Reiki Master in 2006. I've been a vegetarian for 8 years with long stretches of veganism. I just made the transition to living food in December.

My grandmother turned me on to this one.
What about that little rock poppy segment in the middle that doesnt quite fit in with the rest of it?
Its beautiful though, 80's ruled the world of great sappy songs.
Writing is very healing for me. It brings out my soul and allows it to shine. Writing is beneficial in many ways. I will write more about this later. =)
Ive fallin for a couple of gay friends before myself.
No Ive never seen this video before, but Ill watch it now.
Wait, should I, or will I end up always thinking of the video every time I hear the song?
Not sure if I should watch it now.
We know the holiday season can be busy, with lots of parties and gatherings. Most of these events serve up sugary, artificial, and/or unhealthy foods making it especially hard to stay with a raw or vegan diet.
So, come and celebrate the holidays ...
I certainly believe you. I have just only seen them steamed or boiled at TJs so this is especially exciting to me that they have nice bags of raw ones to buy.
it was me being incredulous in a good way.

Try this Doreen. I found out about it when I worked at Jubbs longevity. There is absolutely no aftertaste and a bottle lasts forever. I've been using it for years. Lucky Vitamin has amazing prices on many things too.
