• Hey artistruth! My college roommate lives in Calgary. She was an LA girl who ended up in Calgary with her Canadian husband. Not raw as far as I know! Interesting about your husband, sad about bananas. Oh well. Just my two cents about homeschooling –…

• Meditating – very kind words, but I think we may all feel that way at some times. We’re all just doing the best we can with what we have to work with. You have so much time ahead of you to continue evolving with and without your child, look how much…

• Hey Angie! I laughed about Superman getting sick, not because he was sick but because I’d probably feel the same way about, yay sick! Same with my husband, I have to bite my tongue. I love your Vitamix solution, although my daughter’s different, she…

• Hey NonDairyQueen! Congratulations on the scholarship, that is so fanstastic. My British husband is in denial about paying for college since he was brought up with free university for all and can’t get his head around the amount of money it takes to…

• green girl – hey! Wow, two little ones. I wonder how hard it must be for Moms of little ones to do all the raw food preparation since my daughter is so self-sufficient now, I can take my time with the food. My husband is just like you as far as the …

• Hey Justine! Our daughters sound like they have a similar diet, except mine has the occasional fish. I admire your goal for your pregnancy, I wish I had known more when I was pregnant although I thought I was doing pretty well at the time. No use re…

• Hey JoyceH – I was there years ago, not raw, so I can’t help with the retreat, just can tell you what we loved – Arenal (the volcano) and Monteverde (the cloud forest). Arenal has an insane hot spring at the base, an underwater bar if you drink, the…

• Hey raspberryswirl, glad you’re both so excited, nice to be able to do it together. If you’re just starting out I wouldn’t worry about getting it 100% right at the very beginning. I’m a year into it and learning every day. You’re going to need to de…

• It may be one person’s opinion but it made us all look at what we’re doing as parents and work even harder to make the right choices. I was shocked by this because I thought Shazzie would promote a supplement-free raw diet so it was especially compe…

• I’ve made a smoothie from one of my books that takes the whole cantaloupe (no rind) with seeds and blends it all up with a little cinnamon. I don’t taste the seeds at all but like the benefit of eating them and not wasting them. I don’t know about u…

• Winona – beauty is fun to me. It’s artistic. I have an art background, drawing portraits and as a makeup artist and I’ve loved makeup since junior high. Being able to transform your face has always been fun to me. I’m wearing far less makeup since g…

• Wow Winona, interesting questions. I guess my focus is making sure my family gets the best start possible. My daughter and I homeschool so there’s no rush to get up, but I get up before my husband so I can make him a cacao smoothie to take to work w…

• It is really common to throw off a lot of weight in the beginning, I’ve heard this a lot, and then to slowly start to build your body back up. We’re talking months, not weeks. A lot of raw foodists catch a lot of flak in the beginning because they l…

• If you’re at home and heading out, fresh mint is great, just check your teeth! Also – fennel seeds are something that you could carry with you.

• Wow, the Cosmetics Data Base is really turning people around! It started for me when I met a woman who worked for the non-profit who puts it out at an event. I remember her saying, it’s not just that these products have chemicals that are known carc…

• I have bought vanilla essential oil that comes in a carrier oil of jojoba so it was less expensive and lasts longer on you, it comes in a bottle just like the regular essential oil. There are other options at the health food store. I’ve found coconu…

• Your husband’s interest in healthy eating should make it very easy. My very non-raw husband eats two raw meals a day, except when we eat out, so we have a compromise, that he will happily eat the raw food as long as I don’t give him a hard time abou…

• Oh, Karuna, that made it all worth it!! I’ve been away from my dog for a week and I know when I see her tomorrow she’s going to do all the same things as Christian does in the video, she puts her paw up on my shoulders and kisses me.

• I do to kandace, but my daughter was full on sobbing, dripping tears all over me, the first time I showed it to her. It’s seriously one of the most lovely things I’ve ever seen, right up there with the story of Owen and Mzee – the tortoise that adop…
