I needed some extra peace and tranquility today, so I'm spreading it to you all, too.

This sucks! I've been using my VitaMix for like 30 days straight every morning and not a peep out of them. I think I'm more insulted that they didn't do the neighborly thing and let me know face-to-face that I was disturbing them so I could have stopped.

This morning I looked in the mirror and was shocked that my right cheek was now minus the whiteheads and actually feels smoother! I… Continue

I'm so happy to join the juice feasters. I will be doing a modified juice feast in that one juice per day will actually contain some of the fiber from the juices (making it more of a smoothie). I'm doing this to avoid enemas, which I stay far away from. I was 100% raw in 2006 and really loved the benefits from it, but I didn't know anything about nutrition, detox and other… Continue
