• Hello 1sweetpea, This is my experience of psoriasis. I suffered from psoriasis on my scalp, elbow and knee. It started on my knee and spread to rather large patches elsewhere. Creams and sunshine got rid of it, but I didn't want to rely on medicatio…

• I listen to 80s music and sing along as loud as I can. Singing loudly (and with the wrong words!) is exhilarating and makes me laugh. I also listen to disco music and dance and sing. Music has never let me down. Making plans for something is a good …

• The first few times I practised skin brushing my skin was sensitive to it, so I used very light brush strokes. I can press harder now, which feels very stimulating and doesn’t hurt.

  in Anyone here dry brush twice a day or more? Comment by DeborahBee
• I dry brush once a day, every evening before my shower, and have done for nearly 2 years. My skin is in a lovely condition. Very soft and smooth, no dry patches, and my circulation has definitely improved. I didn’t brush for one week at the end of S…

  in acne Comment by DeborahBee
• I suffered terribly from acne for 7 years. Before I went raw I went wholefood. I stopped eating processed, refined and junk foods and started eating wholefoods only. I also introduced nuts and seeds into my diet at this time. My skin took a couple o…

• Zoe, I was eating my last meal at around 20:00 – 21:00. Bed at midnight. I have experimented this week with not eating after 18:00 and I do wake up a lot easier the next day. On the one day I ate very late at night I felt rubbish the next day! Thank…

• Bubbaw6 my cats would go crazy over that alarm clock! Cool idea. I didn’t eat anything after 19:00 yesterday. I was hungry at bedtime (midnight). I have to say that I felt more alert when I woke up and felt much lighter as the morning has continued.

• Thank you everyone for your replies. My problem with sleep is that the part when I wake up and fall back into slumber is very addictive for me. Which means I stay in bed. I do wake up fresh and alert every morning but choose to fall back to sleep wh…

• From my own experience, I find that when I’m slipping and making poor food choices, making something that contains lots of flavours helps to curb the cravings.

• A protein that is high quality is one that contains sufficient amounts of all “essential” amino acids. Our bodies cannot synthesise essential amino acids so we need to eat foods that contain them. I use www.nutritiondata.com which gives an Amino Aci…

• I often feel very frustrated and have urges to “do something”. I’ve always gotten bored easily and am getting bored even easier the longer that I am raw. I live in the top floor of a flat and when I feel this way I wish I had a house with a door tha…

• I’ve been raw for a year. I started to allow myself little bits of organic chocolate a few weeks ago. Then I noticed a pattern, on the days I ate these little bits of chocolate I would crave junk for the rest of the day. Which sometimes led me to ea…

• I use an Aveda foundation which is called Inner Light. I also use Aveda blusher and eyeliner and a Dr Hauschka mascara (which is great since it’s almost completely made from plants! It plumps and thickens and looks fabulous).

• Hi Deborahann, I’ve found that making my own chocolate, chocolate mousse, coleslaw and other “junk” type foods is helping a lot. When I started raw a year ago the cravings were much worse. I’m surprised I’m getting them now. But I know it’s just a p…
