• Hey guys, I’m very curious about making my own deoderant. The commercial stuff gave me eczema and using baking soda burns a bit. I’m sure I could dilute it, but that’s too much work :p Do you guys think that sea salt and water would be a milder deod…

• Ahhh, like queenfluff, I believe in using all natural “products” or my body. However, as I am transitioning and trying to figure out what works best for me… it seems like I use quite a bit. Baking soda/ apple cider vinegar for my hair (slowly transi…

• I’m not 100% raw yet, but the past couple of days I’ve been eating really healthy. Strawberries, blueberries, lots and lots of delicious green salads! Today I went to my parent’s house and had some bread (which i haven’t eaten in a long time, i used…

• hungry girl that’s such a good idea! I’d never really thought of going into a super market and asking them to cut fruit for me. I know publix will do that, even core a pineapple. Mmmm..pineapple. To answer the question – I’ve been eating pretty simp…

• first of all, congradulations on your decision to go raw! I have to agree with everyone and say that there’s no clear answer as to the BEST way to lose weight on a raw diet. I’d recommend you keep a journal and keep track of what you eat as well as …

• I’m no expert, but I believe the jury is still out on this one. if you juice, you can maximize the amount of greens/fruits you consume before feeling full. The downside is that the juice must be drunk immediately to get the nutrients. Blending prese…

• Socal, university of natural health sounds WAY too good to be true. Do you know anybody who is taking classes there? I’m really excited because that would allow me to work and go to school full time AND do it from anywhere in the world.

• I’m going to start off by saying I’m not 100% raw, but I think that what’s “enough” food varies from person to person. Just eat until you’re comfortably full, and pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods. Some people thrive on green …

• Thanks guys!! 123- I have a magic bullet, easy clean up and its enough since I only prepare meals for me and my boyfriend. Is it normal to eat a lot of fats in the beginning? I’ve been snacking a lot on nuts and seeds because they seem to fill me up…

• I have a question, are there any other oils besides coconut oil that will protect from the sun?? I relatively dark and I don’t like the idea of using sunscreen, but at the same time, a lot of sun can age the skin :|

• Hey queenfluff – It just so happens that I have a few microfiber face cloths. I tried drying my hair with one this morning and it was great! I only had to blow dry for a minute (instead of 4 :P) with cool air. Well that’s my update for now, other th…

• Hey queenfluff – LOL – the minute you mentioned to grow your own soapnut tree I got really excited and googled it. Turns out soapnut trees are, well, trees! http://www.soapnuts.in/additional_information.html They grow 15-20m tall so I definitely won…

• Wow, that’s so awsome. I’d heard of soapnuts for laundry, but haven’t gotten around to buying them. If they work for hair too that’s an extra motivation! I see they are pretty pricey at Maggies Pureland, I’m going to check the natural food store nea…

• Thanks for the tips queenfluff, I actually thought white vinegar and ACV would do the same job. I guess not. I really like the idea of spritzing sea salt water, makes me think of sexy beach hair :D kauaigril – I agree with queenfluff about the hair …

• bluejett8 – thanks for the tip. Would you recommend it for dark hair though? I believe chamomille, honey, and lemon brighten hair. So a little update – I’ve chopped off my hair, mostly because it was too dry and time for a haircut anyways. I’ve stop…

• amikalee – a hairstylist once told me that a baking soda and water paste will get the chlorine out of the hair (much better than shampoo too) so maybe you can try that. I don’t know if its good for everyday use, though, so you’re going to have to ex…

• queenfluff – i like the idea of using a herbal spritz, is jojoba oil expensive? That’s what I’ve been worried about, EOs seem to be too pricey for me. What you described is basically how my hair is right now, dry and oily at the same time. It’s kind…
