Soft Lemon Cookies

SUPER EASY RECIPE.

2T almond flour: take raw soaked and dried almonds and run them through a grinder.

0.5T lemon juice

0.5T agave nectar

1 small lemon grated

Take a small spoon and mix contents in a little bowl, this makes a serving for one person.

It is delicious!! You don't have to dehydrate it, but I'm sure if you did the title of this cookie would be, "soft and chewy lemon cookies".

look at that lemon rind ribbon FAIL..haha

fruit addict.

going through a grape FEST. i can't decide between the red ones or the green ones, they're both amazingg. ALSO. chinatown near school is officially selling ataulfo mangos!!! FREAK OUT!! I'm so happy :D

baking soda'd hair updatez.

i love my hair with baking soda!

TIPS (so far):

-make sure you REALLY rinse well

-experiment between dusting it directly onto your hair and dissolving it in warmer water first in a bottle (and shaking it).

-section your hair off roughly into 4 chunks, and massage/scrub then rinse that way.

-use your fingers to thoroughly brush out your hair (it will dry very fast so you want it to be brushed before it does)

People talk about transition phases, I'm not sure if I'm going through one, I need to wash it every other day or else..slickness will ensue. However I am much happier with my hair falling out less this way, and being very curly, see for yourself!

Vegan Hygiene

What do you use to wash your hair? I'm looking for the most natural product. I experimented with a few brands:

Green Beaver: GREAT SCENTS (lavendar and apple mint are my favourite), made lather, without the conditioner though your hair WILL turn to a matted nest of straw.

JASON: Peach scent was great, no lather, turned my hair to straw when it wanted to, some days was lush, other days resembled cardboard strands.

Desert Essence Organics: Amazing smells, minimal lather, I can't decipher ingredients but it is sulfate free, and cruelty free like the ones above.

Baking soda: No smell, no lather, gritty, felt genuinely clean, is cheap, kind of inconvenient to mix, and turn the shower off to massage, then rinse, will burn the skin around your face if not rinsed off.

Ultimately I feel the most safe using baking soda, and coconut oil to condition...if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them! I have been seeing a theme of raw vegans not wash their hair..I don't plan on going down that route anytime soon.

did you know shampoo is the result of the two words, SHAM and POO combined...

MY NEW FAVE YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

I'm in love..slightly joking. BUT actually...these guys are so vibrant, and exciting. How can you not want to try raw for yourself! They seem to follow the 811 lifestyle, it's pretty obviously working for them as their energy looks like it's through the roof, and so do some of their..muscles.

Gluten Free Success and Rawlicious: Raw Vegan Restaurant Review

Gluten free is going amazing, and I am pretty sure your support has a lot to do with it! I feel great, and I am taking it day by day (thank you Antony, Sugar Magnolia, and Frannie). A lot of it has to do with diverting thoughts, understanding the consequences, and more importantly understanding WHY I want to remove gluten forever.

Rawlicious Cheesecake: I can't even be formal with this review, as I only tried the lemon cheesecake last wednesday night (After biology class..lamesauce). ALL I can say is that it was THE greatest raw vegan cheesecake I've ever tasted. EVER. Part of this overwhelming appraisal may be because it was my first cheesecake since being vegan (3 years), one that in addition to being dairy/wheat-free, was raw. My friend and I split one, and the waiter without thinking placed the slices on separate plates, with separate garnishes. It was perfectly creamy, and--my favourite part--NOT TOO SWEET! The crust was perfectly seeded, except I didn't like the taste, I wasn't sure what was in it, but I didn't care because the lemony upper mousse-like part was to die for..
