Day 13 of My Raw Journey
Last night my bestie & I went to see Raw Transformations, a talk with Matt Monarch & Angela Stokes. It was really great and we got some tips and tricks that should prove useful. Angela is super excited about homesteading in Ecuador. My ambition in life is to be a midwife; maybe once I'm trained I could move to Ecuador and be the midwife for the families down there! I had previously felt like maybe I would never realize my goal, but since starting raw I feel more positive about it than ever and really think it's my calling in this life to help women & babies in that way.
We picked up some great items that they had for sale- things I was planning on ordering online anyway. Untoasted nori sheets, raw olives, some raw granola (I'm REALLY excited about this, crunchy cereal in milk is one thing I'd been missing a lot) that Matt highly recommended, and a skin brush. Philip McCluskey talking about ways to tone up skin had gotten me wanting to skin brush, so I got the brush last night so I didn't have to buy it from a big drugstore chain.
Cyndi got Angela's book, Raw Emotions, which we'd both been wanting to read, a spiralizer (yessss), some raw sprouted cinnamon cereal, and a skin brush.
Yesterday was the first day in about ten years I used a cotton tampon- ugh. I've used the Diva Cup or Keeper for about 11 years now, but this month, I don't know, it just wasn't working out. I'll be 29 in a month... I guess it's possible I need the 30 years and older size now. That's a little depressing LOL. My vagina doesn't FEEL any bigger. Anyway, I'll be ordering one post haste because cotton tampons are not only uncomfortable but incredibly wasteful.
Well, we're off to the farmer's market! I hope to get some pretty golden zucchini to spiralize for lunch today :)

Russ-
Hey there. The DFM is really great- there are two buildings, the left one is local. Some of the farmers are pesticide-free, but I don't think any are certified organic which I understand is a costly & lengthy procedure. I only shop in the local building. They have great stuff, though, all seasonal, fresh, and I love supporting local businesses. I get my bee pollen there, too.

- Colleen- I use mine at the same type of office bathroom. I very rarely have to empty it at work (usually wearing it for twelve hours), but if for some reason I have to, I just wipe it out & the outside with some tp & pop it back in. Takes a bit of practice, so you might start off on a weekend perhaps.

I have been wanting to get a diva cup.. are they alot more comfortable than tampons? I want to get one this next week, but I wonder how to clean it and such when I am at work. >.< lol.
IM so jealous that you went to Raw Transformations. One day I will meet all these wonderful raw foodies in person. :) I skin brush and I am starting to see some great results with it. Just gotta keep reminding myself to do it before I jump in the shower. :)

I need to wait until it gets a bit longer, my hair is pretty curly and straightening it is a hassle. At this rate though, I'll be roaming the woods in my nuddy pants in no time.
Its so good. I beat the computer twice. I really really really recommend this game. I would go for the official one you get many free trials.
Its an exercise in listening more than talking because so bad you want to interrupt and its work to stop yourself
SUNSET BEACH? whats that? a new show?
see how stupid I sound like a grinch or something
Now you can go naked without your boobs showing like the music girl living in the river..don't remember what she's called.
I would not know what to say when it's my 10 minutes. I like the idea of without interruption though...then I can listen without feeling a need to respond to not make it seem like im not interested when I am
Hi, Great info! Witch do you use? or liker best? I have been using Skype and Google talk a lot.
