Categories: Eating, Health

Coconut Water is Mother Nature’s Perfect Hydration Beverage and is a nutritious part of my high-raw vegan diet. It is also acceptable in a paleo diet.
I heard a rumor that during WWII, soldiers in the South Pacific used coconut water in IV lines to rehydrate soldiers succumbing to the tropical heat.

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Through a sampling opportunity with SocialSpark, I got to try some Walgreens Brand Sunscreen Lotion in the “Sport” formula with an SPF of 30.
Walgreens has a LOT of different Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products, which I always notice because [...]

I have a new favorite dress.
I sort of feel like I’m “cheating” when I wear it to work (or, um, when I sleep in it, and THEN wear it to work) because it is technically a fabulous running dress.
I’ve worn my Nuu-Muu dress over yoga pants, leggings, and bike shorts.
Why the Nuu-Muu dress is generally awesome:
It [...]

After January 1, I ate a full raw diet for about 30 days. Currently I am still eating high raw, and I google for raw recipes almost daily.
I recently got a copy of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Raw, the only hard copy of a raw foods book I own, except for Raw [...]

I have reviewed other children’s Yoga DVD’s before, but I’m SO glad for Yoga by the Dozen.
Yoga By The Dozen is an interactive yoga video for ages 2-6, but as a teacher and a parent, I really benefited from watching the way JoAnna taught, led, and encouraged the kids throughout the class.
I’m definitely going to [...]

Culturelle makes a tasteless, odorless powder probiotic for kids.
Culturelle for Kids contains Lactobacillus GG, a "good bacteria" found in your digestive tract.
Culturelle for Kids is tasteless. You are supposed to mix it with cold food, to make it easy for kids to take.
Cold cereal would be ideal, but Jojo has been eating [...]

There are over 5 million vegetarians/vegans in the United States.
Even though I have been vegetarian for 16 years, I have hesitated to raise my children without giving them the choice to eat animal products.
My first child was vegetarian until the age of 2, when he started doing things like chanting “Meat, Meat, Meat!” and [...]
