Happy Unshopping days
Hey! Anyone else out there boycotting the big commercially driven holidays? Since going raw, I really can't stand to shop. It just makes me tired and bored thinking about it.
I'm going to celebrate life and all that is sacred and wholly in my life this month, and that means doing what I enjoy doing...loving being in the now and avoiding anything that has to do with "have to or should". I mean, why should on yourself?
Blessings of love, peace and joy, and happy un-shopping and un-cooking!
Here is your gift, and it's free for you and for me! RAW MACARONI AND CHEESE!

Seeing the look of gratitude on my son's face is very precious to me, and I will continue to give gifts to people I love. Just a little more thoughtfully, consciously and with love for myself too. Most of the gifts will be throughout the year on Birthdays and just because days and they might not cost a cent...like a handmade card or collage.

Comment by AwesomeUniverse!!! on December 3, 2008 at 3:47pm - I love to look at new products that are cruety free and environmentally created. I prefer to touch and feel things but have to get things on the internet because "green products" are hard to find most places. I'd like to see green products everywhere and acceptable as gifts for everyone. I think people should give gifts when they are inspired and not feel like they have to on holidays.

Im totally over it as well. Im buying only things that are useful. My daughter needs a bicycle, as she left her old one in Florida before we moved. This is what she wants, and this is all she really wants for Christmas. Im proud of the job Ive done with her, shes hardly materialistic. As a parent it really is a battle against the advertising monsters to bring up a child that doesnt covet disposables.
My mother asked me what I wanted, and I told her nothing..REALLY. She insisted I ask for something, so I told her to choose between a few kitchen items that would contribute to my raw lifestyle.
I avoid malls enough already. I think that going in one this time of year would trigger a major gag reflex.

Finn, will it fade over time like most white & pastel color inks?
Group tattoo, that's awesome. I like the camaraderie when someone with a misfit tattoo points to mine.

that's sick - you guys all got the same tat? lol that's pretty cool ^^
Ajonus seems to phoney to me. He gives like 5 different reasons on why he choose to eat the way he does. Although he does have some good insight on certain subjects. He comes off as to much of a con IMO.
My tattoo artist used approved UV reactive inks, so it's not really glow in the dark but glow under blacklight. Neither me, nor the 8 other people that got the tattoo together have had a reaction or a rejection of the ink so far. It's very faint o...
Ripley's believe it or not.
Right. And from what I've seen, it seems as though the variation in dietary needs seems very specific to what a person is healing from, rather than an actual anatomical difference. Whether you're eating raw meat, fermented foods, green juices, or ...
haha - what a nihilistic asshole?
You mean you actually don't realize you're there? Huh?!
Never mind.
That's why I have always had this twisted idea it would be cool to be like boderline or something, that's so authentic, no norms, no morality, just sick self-absorption and compulsive honest. self-expression
I love nihilistic assholes.
Glow in the dark? Cool, I was always under the impression that it's banned.

Everyone is crazy, they just try to hide it, takes a lot of energy, 'swhy they're so BORING.
Helps to be crazy where it counts, though.
