I basically take "hippie baths" with coconut oil and real spring water everyday, pretty much for the past 3 + months..AND I have been realizing lately how much better I am smelling and I don't need deodorant nearly as much as when I took a bath/sh...
I like Kava Kava, it was used for religious ceremonies in Hawaii. It gives you a relaxed feeling. If you take a lot, you'll feel very very relaxed. Be careful about mixing with medications as it can be harmful. Your tounge will also feel a numbing...

First off, you must know I'm a huge animal lover and own a young Border Collie pup named Fae. Her picture is above on my profile.
I'm a very happy person who loves to sing, dance, and be merry. I have a huge passion (sometimes it seems like an obsession, but don't worry, it's not serious) about food. The goal of ultimate health is how I've always wanted to see myself as. I really want to an an active, slim, and healthy girl surrounded by positivity, inspiring, and open-minded people.
I'm here because I'm looking to transform my life. I want to be the person I know I am. I'm wanting to incorporate healthy, higher vibrational foods into my diet. That is when I feel the best. I want to be in charge of my life and know my goals. I feel like it's hard sticking to the raw thing. Reading has been really motivating me. Seeing changes in my friends and family also is convincing..
I would also like to start juicing more vegetables like I used to. I also think about food and how eating better makes me look and feel. It's really hard to keep that motivation going for an extended amount of time. I am really hoping this site will help aid me in this. I honestly feel like I can't be fully happy and balanced until I am (mostly) raw. Health food = healthy body = healthy mind and spirit. People ask me, "Why do you spend all of that money on healthy food when you could spend it on something else?" I think the most important thing to do with money is investing it into something lifelong. I will live in this body for as long as I am here on this Earth.
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
I would love how to stay motivated and ANY book recommendations would be appreciated since I love to read.

no waay! i just moved to west maxwell!
i've been around vegetarians most of my life through the seventh adventist church. i went vegetarian a couple of times but took it seriously last year for 6 months, then i went vegan for a week and raw vegan just made sense to me.
my mom tried it before i did and i thought she was crazy. i am a fruitarian. i felt the same on raw gourmet foods and i did on cooked after awhile. I did the master cleanse and all my body wanted was fruit.
I love eating this way and helping others. My roommate/best friend is also into raw foods---it's pretty cool.
i grew up in lexington and just moved back to lexington from california...so long story short, i live in lexington now :)
how did you get into raw foods?
I hope it helps! Good luck figuring out what you need for you. It can be frustrating at times (as I can relate) but I think we just have to be patient with ourselves and this journey and things will work out as we want them to. Cheers! :)
I'm 14! Actually that sounds great for me since all I luv to do is exercise and run and go to the beach everyday so I'm going to look out for that breed! I'm homeschooled so have a lot of time on my hands! LOL!

I'm not going to comment on climate change. But i will comment on carbon trading. Because they can produce such a consciousness of fear out of global warming - they are able to manipulate markets much more severely - and they seem to get away with...
