  • Tea tree oil is a fair bug repellent. As far as sunscreen goes I like hats, scarves and long sleeved shirts. I am not sure if the ingredients in commercial sunscreens are toxic or not so I won't use them.
  • Victoria Boutenko, Green for Life. The book is mostly testimonials but when I read the beginning chapters I found it to be chock full of very good information. Anything you need to know about sprouting you can learn from the sprout people website: h…
  • Raw Lasagna http://imsorawkin.blogspot.com/2009/04/seriously-best-spinach-lasagna.html
  • If your pee is pink after eating beets, it's probably beets. Try cutting out beets, see if it goes, the put them back and see if it turns pink again. I love beets!
  • Any time I have bad dreams, if I tell someone about them, they go away. Hopefully it's just a stress thing and it passes when you figure out what's stressing you and learn to deal with it. Maybe you are having some kind of hormone or testosterone im…
  • Flax seed makes me go, go, go. a tbs of ground flax seeds in my smoothie in the morning, a few flax crackers at lunch, some flax sprinkled on my salad, however I get it, I eat some flax every day. I don't advocate enemas or colonics, I think people …
  • Beautiful, delicious, buttery avocados... my grandmother had an orchard and I was raised with them EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME :) I usually buy 4 when I go shopping and I shop once a week. I might eat two in a day, or one every other day or go a whole …
  • I am still doing green smoothies every day. I used to drink one at night but now I drink them in the morning. It's not about the taste for me, I used to drink vodka straight, I can drink anything! However, lately, I just haven't been enthused over t…
  • It depends on the store, some have reduced produce, some don't. I see it at the organic supermarket sometimes, reduced organic. It's usually pretty far gone. I have always been a freegan so I love cheap or free food. One cashier at Whole Foods used …
  • "don't want to fall off the wagon again. If I do though, I know I'll run after it!" I love that! When i was drinking I used to say "I've fallen off the wagon and am being drug under the wheels. The road is muddy and the horses are bolting..." Good …
  • THE PRETZELS ARE COMING FROM THE STORE!!! KEEP OUT OF THE CHIP (OR CRISP IF YOU ARE, YOU KNOW, OF THAT PERSUASION) AISLE AT THE MARKET!!! Just kidding with the caps lock, there, but seriously, it's hard for me to eat right if I have crap in my cupbo…
  • Pirawna, I hear ya on the block of cheese. I can take cheese and apples and just eat slices of them both until i fall over in a food coma. They still get me sometimes at the grocery store if they have samples of raw dairy cheese. I will taste it bec…
  • Eat fruit more and you will start to like more veges in time. When I was young I HATED veges! If my mother could see me now she would not believe I am a raw vegan who eats mostly raw veges! I still won't touch raw tomatoes or raw okra. Blech. My BF,…
  • Wow, now I finally know what to call my handy dandy hand crank food processor! I got it at a thrift store for 2.50, it only has the blade and a mixing attachment but, DANG can it chop some veges quick! Kitchen Plus 2000. Mine's red and I love it. Ea…
  • lol, angie, it's just me, i guess. I can't handle all that dense protein. Just another example of how we are all different and have to listen to our own bodies to learn how to eat. On a sadder note, an acquaintance of mine is going into rehab for dr…
  • It is hard to find raw calorie counts, isn't it? I haven't tried the cron-o-meter yet. 200 cals isn't very much but a handful of nuts a day should be enough for anyone, IMO. It's enough for me, anyway. I prefer seeds :) but still, more than half a c…
  • Rawmanibbles, I asked someone who works in the Klamath Algae industry and this is the answer that I got: "I think there is more of a problem further down stream on the Klamath river as opposed to Upper Klamath Lake... Is pretty pristine with very fe…
  • Thank you Kandace and Ray!
  • Oh, one other thing. If my hair gets greasy, and it does every three weeks or so, I grab a jar and put a 1/4 cup baking soda in it and take it to the shower with me. When my hair is wet, I add water to the BS, about a quart, and pour that on my head…
  • No soap, no poo! I do wash my hands with soap if they get dirty. I have a bottle of dr bronner's at home and use whatever soap if i am out, ie in a park, at a friends or in a store. I do daily dry brushing of my body and combing of my hair. Shower d…
  • I quit by putting off my first morning cigarette longer and longer every day. It took me three days to quit for good but I was really ready. You can't quit until you re ready.
  • We get all the protein we need from fruits, veges and seeds. They all contain protein. Everything contains protein. Ounce for ounce, not water weight, many plant based foods have more protein than animal flesh, milk or eggs. Animal products seem to …
  • ah, yes, happiest of belated birthdays. I used to be ungrateful but couldn't get my password.
  • Rawmanibbles, I hear that diluted apple cider vinegar rinse helps with dryness. I haven't tried it because my hair tends more to oily. I wear it in a braid down my back, it's pretty long. No poo since mid September or so. I have quit using bobby pin…
    in no poo Comment by zucchini breath
  • People come up to me and ask me how I lost all the weight (40lbs, not so much but it's rather obvious) I tell them I quit eating meat and milk and eggs and bread and grains and all cooked and processed foods of all kinds. Most of them can't get away…
  • In my opinion, make up is toxic and addictive. It's expensive and useless. It's a waste of time, money and resources. It's an unnecessary cause of stress. You are beautiful just the way you are and you don't need any enhancing, even if you have a sp…
  • Thank you, everyone for your replies. I really appreciate your answers. Like I said, I'm not trying to start a fight, and Superfood2, you are right, some women do it to impress other women. That isn't the point. I wore make up in high school, even f…
  • I'm not trying to pick a fight but I don't understand why anyone would wear any make up in this day and age. Or any day and age, really. As vital, healthy women who are concerned about our health and environment, purity in our food, our household cl…
  • "Daaaah... Can anyone name another animal besides man that drinks the milk of another species???" Yes, google something like "dog nurses". I think what the first person meant was "what mature animal, etc" Of course, infant mammals need milk and if t…
  • I've been a striving vegetarian since I was 11 and I just went vegan completely for the first time at 41! Almost a year now, totally vegan and mostly raw since I quit smoking cigarettes May, 2009. When I lived alone I was raw, no problem. Now that …
