You wouldn’t think it was something to be concerned about. At first glance beer seems to pass the vegan test without much dispute. Beer in its purest form is made from water, malt, hops, and yeast. Depending on the brand and type, other ingredients find their way in giving you a fruit beer,…

You’re a person just like everyone else. So why does everyone make such a fuss when you talk about your lifestyle, and why do you feel the need to tell every person you meet that you’re a vegan? It’s like “Hi, I’m Candice, and I’m a vegan…”…

If you are anything like me, you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or Sangria in the courtyard. But did you know that not all booze is vegetarian or vegan friendly. Naturally, my first reaction was one of sheer panic, but never fear my thirsty friends; thanks to a dear friend of mine, I am able…

These days, people are finding that eating has become a complicated task. There is confusing health advice floating around, unhealthy food that claims to be healthy and poison disguised as your favorite fruits and veg. Eating is a right and a necessity and we shouldn’t have to spend…
What to Eat? It is the question on everyone’s minds at least three times a day. By showing how our food choices have a more serious impact on our environment than the car we drive, the light bulbs we use or the ways we recycle, the film makes the point that we can all take small steps for positive change.
We think about food like… 80% of the time don’t we. When is my next time slot for a meal? What will I have? Is it good for me? What will I have for dessert? Should I go grocery shopping? Our mind is constantly overwhelmed with thoughts of food! My job is food, I have to create recipes, and test to create and recreate. We eat well in our home but we A LOT. Because I have created this time style for myself, I am ALWAYS hungry. Like every 15 mins, so this juice cleanse is especially hard on me as I have conditioned myself to think that I need to be eating all day long. With all this extra not thinking about food time on my hands, I will probably be thinking about all the wonderful things I will be craving. So in lieu of this I have decided to create a list of activities that will keep my hands busy and out of the cookie jar.
1. Read a book. (yes they still exist)
2. Skype with long distance family & friends.
3. Meditate myself into a nap.
4. De-clutter my life, one drawer at a time.
5. Sweat out toxins in a sauna.
6. Deep condition my hair.
7. Get my partner to give me a massage. Or Give him one, meh…
8. Paint.
9. Do lots and lots of yoga.
10. Go for a walk.
10. Practice the harmonica.
11. Find new music.
12. Go see a show and sip on water.
13. Catch up with friends.
15. Go to bed early.
What do you do on a Cleanse to keep busy? Leave me a comment below or tweet me!
Wheatgrass, a name we all know and often fear. Just say the word to a close friend and see what happens to their facial expression. Something similar to a post-lemon-sucking pucker will overcome their usually quit lovely face. Yup it tastes like ass, even I will admit that. So why do I continue…
Wheatgrass, a name we all know and often fear. Just say the word to a close friend and see what happens to their facial expression. Something similar to a post-lemon-sucking pucker will overcome their usually quit lovely face. Yup it tastes like ass, even I will admit that. So why do I continue to take my 2 oz green shot morning after morning? There are many reasons, too many to share in one daily blog, so I will summarize with colourful commentary.
Wheatgrass cleanses the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris (aka poop). Anything negative, you are feeling usually stems from something off in your gut. So keep that sucker clean. Get a colonic, drink your wheatgrass and eat food that doesn’t suck.
This green shot of yuck stimulates metabolism and the body’s enzyme systems by enriching the blood. Blood is in you to live. Blood loss equals life loss, so doesn’t it make sense to keep that vampire bait flowing healthy, and flowing well?
This is our wheatgrass juicer… it’s fun to play with
We live in a world surrounded by crap. Crap in the air, crap in our food, crap on the Television. And to make matters worse we drink like fish, and get high like birds. This magical tonic strengthens our cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.
I believe in grass as food and medicine! Drink it! Life is about prevention not, patch up. You take shots of tequila when you go out don’t you? Plug your nose, and shoot it!
I saw Deadmau5 once. It was a wet August evening and for 2 hours the world stopped. I danced like nothing mattered. It was just me, rain, the stars, and 50 thousand other crazies dancing in the rain. #lollapalooza
