• Good job getting rid of the soda! That's a huge step in itself! :) I'm not sure what advice to give on how to stick to something... I'd say it's all about pain/pleasure. To stick with raw, you just need to associate it with something pleasurable (li…

• I def think coconut oil can make blackheads worse, so probs don't use it if you have them. Also, not sure if you're more into topical or internal options for your clogged pores/blackheads, but here ya go: 1) topical: apply raw acv to your face once …

• I think it's a great idea if it will help keep you warm and happy! You shouldn't ever have to suffer just to be 100%... also, soups and broths are great warming foods also, and you don't have to really heat them past 110 for them to warm you up!
