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.

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!

Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...

INTERNAL USE

Luke warm water(plain water) enema is good, but you can add a table spoon of salt to the water before using.
You may even boil the water with some neem leafs and then "leave the water for sometime so that it cools and comes down to room temperatu...
