I sparked quite the controversy the other day on Facebook. People came out of the woodwork to get across their point of view. But I see it all being positive. Because these things need to be talked about. Issues that are otherwise generally accepted as truth need to be brought to the surface. Lies need to be […]
Could anything in this world be more wonderful than coconut oil? (Ok, besides goat cheese, the Silly Goose, & Jesus?) In all seriousness though, coconut oil definitely tops the list of must-have products on my list. Coconut oil (and all coconut products, really) have gotten a terrible, though incredibly undeserved, reputation over the last 50 […]
Most people take it for granted that a change in seasons means their allergies will flare up. Noses run. Eyes itch. Throats become sore. But our bodies wouldn’t require an immune response to a change in the weather (or to certain plants, etc.), if we didn’t have so much immuno-compromising toxicity and/or deficiency in the […]
Yep, not only is it the title of a Relient K song that defined my sophomore year of college, sunny with a high of 75 was the actual forecast for the day here in Nash-vegas. And what a glorious day it is! I love being able to curl up in the blankets at night, then […]
In a nutshell, sunscreen does more to cause cancer than it ever will to prevent it. Yes, it goes against everything you’ve ever heard about the sun and skin cancer. But does it surprise you that I would blog about topics that are counter to the profit-driven culture and seem a bit ‘conspiracy-theory’ in nature? […]
I love documentaries. And good food. And I love that I have like-minded friends with whom I can share them! Last week I was treated to a gourmet meal at Thomas & Jeanette’s house. Sushi-esque appetizers made from zucchini and cucumber, baked tilapia and an eggplant stew. Our after dinner fare was Foodmatters-a very well […]
I almost deleted an email this morning, writing it off as a silly forwarded message that would tell me to send it along to 14 other people in the next hour or I didn’t really love Jesus (are they kidding me?). But I’m so glad I did read it (and that it didn’t judge my […]
If you do have milk in your fridge (and who doesn’t?), you might want to take a gander below at what could be in that yellow carton. And what it’s doing inside your body. Let’s say you pick up a gallon of “normal” cow’s milk from the gas station or grocery store. It looks healthy […]
There is no microwave in my kitchen. When we learned what it does to our food, we unplugged it and stowed it away on the top shelf of a closet. I’m not exactly sure what to do with it just yet….I would feel morally responsible for selling the “death box,” as my friend Thomas likes […]
Translation: My head is killing me, give me some pills!! Well, ok, literally it just means ‘my head pains me’ en espanol, but you get the idea. And yes, in years past, the option of harmless looking little pills to ease the throbbing pain in my temple seemed like a great option. Until I learned […]
I wasn’t even trying, but I had lost a few inches around my middle and my thighs. So when it started to become obnoxious to hike up my pants all day (but let’s face it, who wouldn’t prefer to have that problem instead of having buttons popping OFF their pants?), I bit the bullet and […]
