Day 1

Day 1
*Being posted one day late...*

Rest assured darling, that 2010 IS going to be the best year ever! Can you believe this sunny Arizona weather to usher us into a new year? Stellar.
Last night I rang in the new year with the most amazing people in Sedona at Grace Grove Retreats. I danced the night away to the most amazing drum beats, drank elixirs and ate raw chocolate. It was oh-so-feel gooood.

Well, today was amazing. I had insatiable cravings and wanted to binge on foods that I swear I was making up. But alas, all raw day 1 has been accomplished. I went rock climbing outside at Camelback to ring in the new year with Jim and my great friends Megan and Mark. It was a total blast…there’s nothing like the top of a cliff view to realize how easily accomplishable your goals really are.

What I Ate Today:
1 banana
1 orange
1 kale, almond, lemon & olive oil salad (plus bread crumbs which I thought were spices. These, consequently, were not raw. BOO.)
2 antioxidant juice elixirs
Spring Water
Lots of loose leaf tea at home
Zucchini “Pasta”
Persimmon Pie (oh. my. gosh.)

Okay, so the next thing I am about to share is strange. Part of my deal is no chemicals, right? Well, all shampoos and conditioners have some kind of chemical in them…even if they are biodegradable. So, I stopped using them.

My shampoo and conditioner have been replaced with a spoon, cup, apple cider vinegar and baking soda. Baking soda gets rubbed onto my scalp in a circular motion for a few minutes, then I rinse it out. After that, I put apple cider vinegar on the ends. It actually worked even though my hair feels a little…thick. And the ends feel surprisingly moisturized. It was cool. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but I know for sure that I will not be converting to dreads. Nope.

Next, I am off to snag a shower head filter to eliminate the chlorine, fluoride and other nasty chemicals that are in our tap water!

Moonlight hugs,
