This book is a resource for every woman- young and old alike. My daughter (who is very interested in make-up and plans to go to cosmetology school) has been reading it with much enjoyment- which I am very thankful for. I have been sharing with her how important it will be for her to learn as much as she can about natural beauty tips and tricks. Not everyone can afford to spend $$ on all those high end skin care products. She was so excited to find that pure olive oil removes eye make-up perfectly. No more buying eye make-up remover.
I have learned so much from Shakaya’s book. I am a big fan of using natural products as much as possible. I am very frugal when it comes to skin care products so to find recipes using natural products that cost pennies compared to what you would buy online or at the store makes me very happy.
Shakaya also addresses how a healthy diet affects our skin which I whole-heartedly agree with. I notice a huge difference in my skin when I have been 100% raw for 5 plus days in a row. It is glowing. It is soft. I also find that my psoriasis and eczema calm down the more raw I eat, the more greens I get into my diet, the more juicing I do, the more water I drink. I also love all the quotes through out the book. There are a few things that are not for me but this is true of just about any book you read. (more…)
This week I watched the culinary class by Martine Lussier. Her class was on how to make Almond Mila Muffins. I learned so much from her. I really am excited to try this recipe on my own. The muffins looked so soft and moist- like a baked muffin but this was a raw muffin! I can’t tell you how fun it is to sit in on these classes. These are 12 of the world’s top living chefs and I am learning from them how to make my raw food diet more vibrant and exciting!
This week I also watched a video by Chef Colleen Cackowski. In her class she teaches how to make her award winning low glycemic chocolate covered almond butter cup. I learned about tempering raw chocolate which is something I have totally been wanting to learn. She also teaches on low glycemic sweeteners which is something that I feel is very important. There are a lot of people out there who are following a low glycemic diet but I think it is important that everyone include some low glycemic recipes into their diets. (more…)
