Say Yes to Carrots(or Tomato or Cucumber): The Israeli based skin-care line which promotes “ healthy eating for the skin” can be found at Target. It’s cheap( like $8-$12 a bottle) and paraben free although their ingredients do include chemicals like propanediol and benzyl alcohol in their formulations so if that bothers you then walk two feet to the left and pick up some Weleda also found at Target though for a much higher price per ounce.
Raw Local Honey
That unheated, pure, unpasteurized, unprocessed goodness, that concentrated nectar of flowers is not only tasty but can provide all 22 minerals and enzymes the human body needs to sustain life. An alkaline forming food, raw honey contains ingredients similar to those found in fruits, which become alkaline in the digestive system. It doesn’t ferment in the stomach and it can be used to counteract acid indigestion. Most honeys found in the supermarket are not raw honey but “commercial" honey, which has been heated and filtered so that it looks cleaner and smoother, more appealing on the shelf, and easier to handle and package. When honey is heated, its delicate aromas, yeast and enzymes which are responsible for activating vitamins and minerals in the body system are partially destroyed. Hence, such honey is not as nutritious as raw honey. I purchase my honey at a market just outside of Napa for about $12 a jar. Why buy local? Well first off it benefits your local economy but also local honey contains the immune stimulating properties needed for your body to adapt to its environment.
It’s unbelievable that at 24 I’m just getting into this wonkey-eyed punk goddess but she’s great, I love her and she’s one of the last bad-ass old school rock mamas still playing live shows. I think she plays the Bowery in New York a few times in the next couple months. Even one more reason to move back to the city.
