• Wow, lzhpt, you might just give away your spot, that sounds amazing! You paint quite a pretty picture with your descriptions. Our perfect summer vacation spot is HOME! We travel much of the rest of the year since our daughter is homeschooled, so sum…

• This topic tortures me – we just joined a pool since our daughter LOVES to swim. It’s a chlorinated pool. We’ve tried two small lakes and found that those became a chemical soup of sunscreen and who knows what else, not having a lot of movement of t…

• I don’t know the price difference, but I definitely use the powder more. Just a convenience thing here, no time to grind first and I use it everyday. My husband doesn’t go for the nibs, either.

• Tzefira – when I was comparing green powders I noticed that Alissa Cohen’s on her website sounded exactly the same as Sun is Shining to the letter, they must come from the same place. Both say they were created by the same guy but Alissa’s was much …

• I don’t do a lot of preparing ahead – I like quick and fresh, but if it makes it easier you can keep almonds or other nuts soaking in the fridge, just change the water, or soak and dehydrate a whole bunch and keep those in the fridge – they’ll last …

• Valeria – are you sure the oil makes you breakout? I have fairly oily skin but I only breakout when I’m detoxing or hormonal which makes me believe it’s more of an internal thing. I just finished an 8 day Master Cleanse and my skin is better than ev…

• bitt – I’ve never tried the sea sponges, the one thing with the Diva Cup that I’ve found is it makes a bit of a sound when you take it out, suction cup-ish. Other than that no problem. There is some practice involved with getting it in and out but I…

• I’ve never tried sea sponges, but I can also recommend the Diva Cup. It’s not natural like the sponge, but it’s waste-free and laundry-free.

• angie – your outlook on life constantly inspires me! If there’s anyone out there who works really hard to live well and help others it’s you.

• That’s great pianissima! I love the good news. Today we were at a barbecue and everyone was eating burgers and dogs, but I was waiting patiently for it to be over because I knew I was having KELP NOODLES for dinner and I couldn’t wait! They just cam…

• Hey germin8, I just wanted to respond to your comment about traveling being hard with a baby. We’ve been traveling with our daughter since she was 3 months old and those first few trips were EASY because she couldn’t move around, she lived in my sli…

• That is very interesting. I’m very open about it because it seems to inspire interest in others. Just by chance I have a tattoo of a bunch of grapes on my ankle that I had done when I was 19 (36 now). I never knew for sure why I got it, I wasn’t goi…

• bitt – I’ve always been lazy about the food preparation, not a soaker, sprouter, dehydrator here. BUT I’m in the middle of a 10 day Master cleanse and I suddenly have the excitement back that I had in the beginning! I can’t wait for this to be over …

• Hey queenfluff! We have a lot in common. Being fair I’ve always preferred northern climates for comfort’s sake and I preferred to be covered up. Big fan of sweater weather! I love the changing of the seasons although summer was my least favorite. Bu…

• I second the jar or cup on top and slip a sheet of paper underneath. My daughter is deathly afraid and has panic attacks when they’re in the house but wouldn’t dream of having them killed so we’ve devised this full-proof method. My morals go awry wi…

• I know I’m super paranoid, but make sure you don’t eat the rhubarb leaves, poisonous!! But the stems are great and I’m loving the Strawberry Rhubarb Shake recipe on this site.
