I'm trying out Nvey Eco. Love the ingredients -- purest color cosmetics ever -- but am experiencing mixed results. The concealer is fabulous -- one of the best I've tried, as good as Chanel. The translucent powder isn't translucent, though: it's d...
If you look at the overall picture, a potato isn't so bad. You could definately eat a lot worse! Just balance it out with a HUGE salad. Drink a lot of water if you are worried about the digestion process.
How does it work? Have you noticed an improvement?
Agreed! Everyone should have access to healthcare.
"The cost still has to be paid. How does it get paid?"
I pay taxes of course, and it is money well spent! Not just for me, but for everyone else. It is a question of solidarity.
I'm aware that there is a different system in the US, and it is dif...
You inspire me to take out my juicer again!
You can't go wrong with good old-fashioned apple juice. Pour it over ice after juicing so that it is nice and cold. Mmmm.
I recently came up with a yummy apple cider in honor of Fall. I juiced apples, ...
I live in Sweden and I LOVE socialised medicine and healthcare!
I got very sick shortly after moving here. If I had lived in the States then, I would be dead now because my family wouldn't have been able to afford the healthcare and hospital cost...
Can you buy it online?
Try to binge on the "right" kind of "wrong" food. Go for the healthier alternatives like bulgar, quinoa, baked sweet potato, etc instead of shooting for the processed foods, artificial colors/flavors, and bleached flour. If you are on a tight budg...
I don't use soap or a cleaner on my face anymore, I use a cloth by Norwex, out of Canada. It is antibacterial (made with a little silver) and it soft as can be. The micro fiber is so small that it literally grabs everything off my face and leaves ...
Hi Nell!
I'm so glad you started this discussion. I hope you don't mind if I mention a few things that I've tried and LOVE.
Face
-Kiehls Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion Scrub - so nice
-Taking Evening Primrose Oil makes my skin happy ...
Here are a few of my failed experiments...
Avocado oil on my face -- it literally turned my face a pale tint of green so that I looked somewhat nauseous all of the time. People kept asking me if I felt alright. It also caused areas in my t-zone t...
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 thought it would be interesting to hear what beauty tips, products, makeup, routines, etc that people have tried, tested and dismissed.
Maybe we can learn from one another's mistakes. :)
I've been slicing up some bananas, drizzling them with a little honey and tahini, and then sprinkling coconut flakes over it.
omg. I'm going to have to try this. yummm. It never even occured to me to smash up some bananas. yay. go you. :)

Finally telling my story...
I've been hanging around this site for awhile, but have never written a blog post. Maybe out of fear or judgement or a loss of anonymity...
This is my story...
I'm in early 30s. When I was 19 I was diagnosed with UC and nearly died. It was dramatic and scary and I knew when I was wheeled into the operation room that I might not come out alive. It forced me to make peace with a lot of things from when I was younger because I didn't want to leave this world bitter. I survived, came out of surger… Continue

Hayley Sunshine said… - Thanks for checking out my site! It depends on how intensely you want to uncook. All of Natalia Rose's books have a lot of great easy recipes but they are more informative than actual uncook books. I really like Rawvolution by Matt Amsden and I browse online sooooo much. Hope that helps. : )
