1) There is no "one stop shop." I shop at the Asian Market for exotic produce (durian, mangos, coconuts, etc) and seaweed. I shop at a conventional grocery store for organic produce, which is cheaper than a hfs. I shop at the health food store for...

That would be so awesome! I would love to do it for the 10 days as well and today is only Day 1. I've never done it before though- do you know if I can go out in public while on the cleanse or is it that bad? I have to go shopping Friday that's why I ask. I'm so excited to do the MC =)
Hey Stacey, We are in most of the Whole Food regions and also Trader Joes, but Ironically we are not approved regionally for the WF MidWest region. Your store must buy them even though they are not in the set. I've been trying like crazy to get Midwest region to approve them but they are being sticklers (hello!! Local product!!) anyway if there is anything you can do to help get it in to the region that would be great. Regardless, we can maybe set up a demo with you in your local WF store that does carry them. Let me know how to best proceed with this..Thanks!!
Hi Stacey, thanks for reaching out...that is great for me to know because I am always looking for people to help spread the word about Pure Bars and do demos. Where do you currently buy them?
Hey that's great! I happened to have heard of Swami Satchidananda just last week, when I saw a copy of his "Healthy Vegetarian" book and started reading through it. The information on eating is fabulous. In fact, I am planning on buying a copy of that book myself as it was so good. Topics he wrote about related to prana made so much sense to me in conjunction with things I had already learned. Even though he isn't my specific guru, I find that what he has written is totally in line with my current path - and he gives so much wonderful information. So I'm trying to incorporate his dietary and eating recommendations - except with a raw vegan spin! :-) I'd definitely be interested in reading more of his materials soon.
Thanks for your message on my profile page. :-) I'm always happy to find other spiritual seekers. Do you follow a particular guru? I am a meditator of Isha Yoga and we have a ton of meditators in the Michigan area. That's so awesome that you are reading the sutras. I'd love to read them, though it seems most of them are interpreted differently - so I'd want to find a copy that is fairly unbiased with the author's perspective.
yeah the produce here rocks. It gets expensive cuz everything here is expensive, but you get used to it. I was browsing rentals and found a home with a yard that had avocado, mango, and coconut trees.
I want that house:)
Thank you:) in my past life(figuratively speaking) I was a nudie dancer and my best friend was a dj, a bit of a music snob who introduced me to alot of great music. Great to meet you! Ive been on and off raw for the last year, about to leave now to go buy alot of fruit for the week. Have you been into raw very long?

You wanna both snowboard and ski? You usually have to stick to one if you want to master it. Not saying you can't do both, but maybe wait until you got the hang of it before switching up.
