Time to Shop!

Happy post-Thanksgiving! Hope you had a wonderful holiday (for those in the US celebrating anyway – the rest of you hopefully you had a good couple of days).

Were any of you nutty brave enough to shop Black Friday? Not me, man. I stay far far away! Too much madness and DANGER out there. Basically, I value my life and my sleep, so no thanks.

Well, there is Cyber Monday coming up. I don’t really do that either but it is safer. I’m a procrastinator. I wait till I’m in the mood to shop, or have a list, or when I know I have to. Don’t get me wrong. I love to shop but holiday shopping is a bit crazy.

Here’s a gift idea if you’re looking for one. The Raw Beauty Calendar 2011.


What it’s about (info provided by Tanya, the artist):

Raw Beauty 2011: 13 Real People Gone Raw

Passionate Montreal-based artist and raw foodie Tanya Wood and Halifax photographer Nick Rudnicki have teamed up to create Raw Beauty 2011: a Calendar featuring 13 Real People Gone Raw. These real subjects bare it all to showcase how delicious and beautiful life can be when you eat a little more raw.
  • makes the perfect gift for the health enthusiast or raw vegan
  • was created with the planet in mind
  • includes delicious healthy quick raw recipes
  • meet 13 real people who’ve gone raw and love it.
  • join the health craze that will make you radiant at any age
  • move into 2011 ready for a little more raw
Each month features the natural un-airbrushed beauty of one of 13 volunteer models, tastefully posing with seasonal produce. Inside you’ll find a short model’s story along with easy to prepare raw vegan recipes. Using only basic kitchen tools and easy to find ingredients, these recipes make for a simple introduction to raw food and encourage the extremely eco-conscious act of eating a more raw seasonal diet.

Printed on 100% FSC approved and 50% post-consumer paper using 100% vegetable inks, this calendar was created with the planet in mind. The printing and production was kept local to minimize shipping emissions.

This gift would be perfect for the health enthusiast on any holiday list, or for someone who could use a bit of healthy inspiration in 2011. And it’s certainly perfect for that impossible to buy for raw foodie! Help them start off the New Year on the road to increased energy, clear skin, sparkling eyes, healthy weight, and peace of mind. Share a taste of raw food for perfect age defying health and beauty this New Year.

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
