• I found it through welikeitraw.com, one of my favorite raw food blogs. :D I found out about the actual raw food vegan diet through galadarling.com, a blog I read a lot.

  in How did YOU find Gone Raw? Comment by rachel_akiko
• Oh, and I’ve heard a lot of raw foodists say that they only eat fruit for breakfast, like two apples and a pear or something like that. I usually do that, and then snack on a veggie or something before lunch.

• Peanuts are hard to digest… and you might have overdone the nuts. I usually get a stomacheache if I eat too many nuts in one day. About one big handful is enough for me. :D

• Raw roasted almonds?? Wow, they must really think a lot of people are suckers to fall for that, lol. Yeah, I found out that a lot of nuts labeled “raw” aren’t actually unheated, they’re just untoasted/unroasted. So I’ve been cutting wayyy back on al…

• Wow, nice! I can only find the non-raw Green & Black organic cocoa powder, which is still really good, but I wish I could find some raw.

• Renoir – wow, really? I’ve never actually met anyone who’s had electrolysis before… Maybe I should just stick to shaving, because I’ve also heard that electrolysis can be painful, time-consuming, and leave scars. :/

  in Do you shave pits/legs? Comment by rachel_akiko
• Wow, Marichiesa, you don’t grow armpit hair at ALL anymore?! That would be awesome. Renoir, I’ve heard that electrolysis is more effective than laser hair removal, and the only permanent hair removal. I’ve been wanting to get it done on my underarms…

• they’re probably raw, but they’ve probably lost a lot of their nutritional value by sitting in a jar exposed to light for long periods of time.

• Ahh, I’ve used Proactive for a few years too, and it’s dried out my skin a little. :/ I hope I can find some coconut oil at my Hy-Vee…they usually have a pretty good selection of raw stuff.

• Wow, that homemade solar dehydrator looks like a lot of work. I’d rather get an electric one, but they’re soooo expensive!

• Ohh, I see. Thanks for the tip, I’m definitely going to check out Mountain Rose Herbs. I already bookmarked them. :)

  in Horrible Itchy Rash Comment by rachel_akiko
• Yeah, I usually eat only fruit in the morning, like an apple and a pear or some grapes. What do you mean by “used to be” excellent? Have those brands started adding toxic preservatives? D: Ahh, now I’m wondering what I should do to wash my hair. …

  in Horrible Itchy Rash Comment by rachel_akiko
• Thanks, Sabrina!!! I’ve been wanting to find an all-natural makeup brand. Dr. Hauschka looks pretty expensive, but not untouchable. Yay! Thanks for the lemon juice tip… do you actually juice the lemon?

  in Horrible Itchy Rash Comment by rachel_akiko
• Thanks, greenie! After I switched to raw and also found out that all of my bath products have toxic ingredients in them, I decided to keep using them anyway until they ran out. I didn’t want to waste money by dumping them in the trash, so I guess I’…

• Yeah, usually when I tell people at my church about how I eat they think I’m weird/crazy/insane. Only two people actually thought that was kind of cool and didn’t look at me like I was a weirdo, haha.
