Finally, brand NEW Pictures here! They're EXTRA PINK, even pinker than usual, for your viewing pleasure. Ha!! One of the best & pinkest sunsets I've ever seen. I've been picking a LOT of fun fabulous super Rare & Exotic organic Tropical Fruit, you can read all about that in my Best Beauty Foods blog. Oh my, I have so many jujubees right now! Do you know they're amazingly good for you? I LOVE jujubees. It's Endless Summer here, never ending days of brilliant blue skies and hot sun. Every day is a perfect beach day!! This past weekend we cruised around Malibu and went to several beaches up there. It was fantastic! So gorgeous! And pretty un-crowded, to my surprise. The sunsets have been totally magnificent lately, with orange pink & purple clouds.

I'm keeping extra busy by juicing, sprouting, fruit picking and working on all 5 Bikini Sites. I got the CUTEST ever new mini dresses in today and was SO excited I immediately put one on and wore it to take in the trash. Whoo!! That's so glamorous. I've also been creating 4 other sites in WordPress, which is brand new to me. Whew!! It's a TON of work. Especially because I've been teaching myself as I go and there's still a bunch of stuff I don't know yet. Like how to make things PINKER. The Endless Quest to be Pinker!! I'll be SO overjoyed when they're all done. It's been really fun though, I love designing websites. Having lovely week everybody and please remember to be kind to all animals & bugs :)

Hi everybody! Well I had a super fun, amazing time in Seattle! It was absolutely gorgeous sunny weather every single day. Wow!! I went on tons of hikes and ate so many blackberries. Yum!! I love blackberries. My parents & I had a wonderful time strolling through downtown along the Seattle waterfront and we went on the Giant Wheel! It was so fun!! This last weekend when I got back to S. Cal, I got a bunch of gigantic Dragonfruit & more huge delectable Reed Avocados, I'll post those pictures soon. This week I've been busy updating the Bikini sites with lots of brand New Micro Thong Bikini Bottoms. They're soooooo cute!! It's hard to wear all of them, unless you're a centipede. And then you could wear so many at once! That's a brand new niche market, Micro Thongs for Centipedes. Ha!!! Everyone have a spectacular weekend. I'll be off in the Land of Pink Dragonfruit once again :)

8/24/2012

Whoo Yay!! Brand NEW Pictures! Check out this adorable baby lizard who wanted to follow me home from the farm last weekend. Ha!!! So cute! I'm SO excited to go pick a bunch of yummy fruit again this weekend. More dragonfruit, passionfruit, white sapotes, and hopefully figs!! I'm going out of town after the weekend, so I'm going to have to eat a bunch of exotic fruit to tide me over :) or stuff it in my suitcase! Fruit & bikinis, always a good combination.

I'm creating Bikini site #6 right now, in Word Press, which is brand new experience for me. It's fun but soooooo tedious, uploading item after item. Skimpy scrunchy this, cheeky micro that. I'm very eager to redo a few of my other sites in WP and thank heavens they don't have a bazillion products like the Bikini sites do. Whew!! I still need to add all the Pasties, Unikinis, Dresses, Bikini Tops, oh dear :o ahhhh....will I ever finish. Yikes! Luckily I'm taking breaks by dancing around, exercising, eating melons and the precious last few Black Sapotes in my personal stash :) and drinking my special blend herbal teas and making exciting new Herb Tinctures, which I absolutely LOVE to make. Have a blissful & super fun weekend everybody!!

8/16/2012

Whoo Hoo! It's going to be another big fun Fruit Picking weekend! Hopefully we get a bunch more big creamy Avocados, DragonFruit & Passionfruit, White sapotes & the last of the Black Sapotes. My whole freezer is stuffed with Black sapote "ice cream" in various differing recipes. Mostly raw cacao, dates, honey, vanilla, and lots of black sapotes! But some have coconut cream for extra creaminess. So tonight I tried some for the first time. Wow!! I can't believe how incredible it is!! It tastes just like chocolate ice cream!! Right now I have 2 batches swirled together..one batch with coconut cream and the other is just rich dark & chocolatey. Oh my!! It's sooooo decadent. I used a SECRET ingredient to help add smoothness & creaminess, Guar Gum, which comes from a bean. Just a teensy pinch will help prevent ice cream from getting too many ice crystals in the freezer!

I'm making herbal energy tea so I can stay up late & work on all 6 Bikini websites tonight, but I added Holy Basil and Triphala, which is a weird combination but who knows! It may be good. Triphala is an incredible detox herb blend and Holy Basil is supposed to good for everything. Like magic! I'm excited because I ordered it from Mountain Rose Herbs, a truly wonderful place. I also ordered special & fabulous green powders to blend into my own Green Powder to add to my Green Smoothies which should provide amazing health benefits and make hair grow faster too :) We'll see! This morning I made my mom a batch of SuperFood Trail Mix and its SO good!!! It's so fun & easy to make. Nuts, seeds, dried raisins & berries, goji berries, golden berries, shredded coconut and raw carob. YUM!! I added pineapple too, that I dried myself. Wow, dried pineapple is like candy! And if you dry your own fruit, you're not getting the awful sulphur dioxide the dried fruit from the store usually has. Hmmm...I think I'm out of ice cream, time for a 2nd bowl!

8/3/2012

WOW!!! I saved a Hummingbird with my BARE hands this morning!! Can you believe it?? It was the 2nd time this tiny feather bomb has gotten stuck inside. I saved him from the apartment downstairs a couple months ago using a pink washcloth. He's SO cute!! Really colorful and iridescent. He was in a panic, chirping loudly and buzzing against the window, but perched on my finger for a minute. I managed to cup him gently in my hands and take him outside. He's SO teensy!!!! I wish I had a picture. Thankfully all his feathers were still in place and he was fine. Usually I answer emails on my Bird Rescue site, not rescue them hands on :)

Anyway, I'm SUPER duper incredibly absolutely TOTALLY excited because we're going to pick Purple Passion Fruit & GIANT Avocados this weekend. Whoo Hoo!! Plus a very special SECRET exotic fruit. I'm so hyper I just want to DANCE around all day and not get any work done. Ha!! I just got in brand NEW leggings too. Yay! Going to wear them this weekend. Plus my new dehydrator came & I'm making a heavenly batch of Black Sapote Chocolate Brownies right this second. YUM! This week I discovered the Buns of Envy and Abs of Envy workout videos on YouTube, and I'm completely beside myself with jubilation. I've been staying up super late doing these workouts plus a little Bellydancing & yoga. I'm going to invent my own workout that's a super FUN combination of all three! I hope you had a beautiful Full Moon evening last night too. Do you know there are 2 full moons this month? I think the next is 8/31. The 2nd Full Moon in a month is called a Blue Moon!! That's where the expression came from. So plan something extra fun for the Blue Moon!

It's such a gorgeous day today! I saw dolphins leaping out of the water this morning. I've been celebrating this beautiful day by eating lychees, melons, nectarines, surinam cherries and black sapotes. Not all at the same time though. Ha!! Got some new SUPER CUTE bikinis in. And I'm wearing these short Shorts all the time now. They're SO comfy! I'm in LOVE with all of them. People probably think I just hopped out of a workout video, since I'm always wearing them. Ha!! My ongoing love affair with spandex. These shorts make you WANT to workout! Check out our July Bikini Newsletter with all the brand new Bikinis I just got in and gorgeous new pictures of Talia in our amazing Jean Leggings too :)

What a super Fun weekend!! There were SO many people on the most popular beaches. A HUGE long line of cars were waiting to park at Huntington Beach. Thank heavens we have our little view spots where we can park, have a fruit picnic & zoom off. We went fruit picking and it was HOT. All my sunscreen melted off and I wiped my face with some yellow pollen stuff on my fingers by accident & my whole face turned yellow like a dandelion! We got tons of sweet vine ripened Tomatoes, Chocolate Sapotes, big orange Passionfruit & White Sapotes. Just a few Surinam Cherries since they're on their way out. Plus we got 2 baby Dragonfruit plants! They're so silly looking. I hope they grow like crazy & produce tons of fruit!! The farmer told me we have to cross pollenate the flowers ourselves...with a paintbrush? Oh dear, sounds complicated :0 You can see our Dragonfruit video here. And we saw this adorable baby coyote on the side of the road. Poor guy!! He seemed very hungry or thirsty or tired? Moving so slow. Across a busy highway with big fast cars & trucks! He was hanging out in a farmer's field and I threw him some Kale Chips & Flax Crackers hoping he would eat some. He just looked at me like, Lady, are you NUTS? Well it was either that or a nectarine or a melon!

7/20/2012

Hi everybody! Wow, it was a super HOT sunny day at the beach today. And I saw an older woman wearing a stylish black swimsuit and pushing a WALKER!! Really. She had long grey hair, a great tan, and a good figure. Omg! She created quite a stir, pushing that walker next to the beach, with people everywhere. She may have to be my next swimsuit model! We've been picking tons of fruit lately, zooming up & down the coast, taking in the glorious beach-y beauty, and having fruit picnics by the ocean. It's especially fun to fresh eat surinam cherries on Coronado Island, for some reason. I've been eating SO many surinam cherries! I've also stopped eating salads. Crazy! After years & years of a salad every single night. I'm mostly juicing & eating melons right now. I love them so much!! Of course I'm eating black sapotes too. I've made SO much raw vegan ice cream out of them. Yikes, the freezer is packed!! I need to have an ice cream social. Ha!!!

7/10/2012

How was your 4th everyone? I had a super exciting, patriotic, sunny & fruity weekend!! I wore stars & stripes, my new denim print short shorts and practiced throwing a football. Did you know I could throw a football? Neither did I!! On Saturday it was warm & sunny and everyone was at the beach. So pretty out! Huntington Beach was packed. Bikinis everywhere! Absolutely perfect weather for topless convertible cruising. I bought 6 more gigantic aloe leaves in Little Saigon, the size of my arm, for making green smoothies :) Yay! We ate melons in Manhattan beach, watched all the people walking their dogs, and I worked on my tan. Or my freckles, more like it. Ha!! Sunday we picked organic apples, kale, black sapotes, white sapotes and lots of surinam cherries. I've had surinam cherries for dinner for the past 3 nights!! Yum, surinam cherries at sunset. They're a super food for sure...I feel extra happy & energized when I eat them!! After fruit picking, we cruised down to Coronado Island and had a sunset fruit picnic. We drove all the way to Imperial Beach and looked across the water at Mexico! It was such a hot gorgeous day, and there were tons of people on the beaches and strolling around in downtown San Diego. More people than usual because Comic Con was going on! It was such a lovely night to drive up the coast and watch the sunset. Last night was another surinam cherry sunset dinner far up the coast, dining with the wild parrots again. They were really noisy & fired up last night, squawking & chasing each other around. The feathers were flying!

I've been soooo busy in the kitchen lately, juicing veggies & wheatgrass, making kale chips, dressings and crackers from fresh herbs, drying fresh fruit leather, and making raw vegan black sapote ice cream & pudding. You can see the ones below are super ripe! I'm blending them with dates. I made some light, creamy chocolate mousse from them by adding coconut cream. It was so rich, creamy and yummy! I froze some as ice cream. Today I did the same recipe but without the coconut cream. So it's thicker but has less fat. It's really yummy too! And here are my bright red surinam cherries. Most of which have been eaten in the past 3 days :) I just got BRAND NEW cute shorts in. I seem to be having a Short Shorts Summer. I love them. They're good for adventuring around in, working out and being comfortable!

7/4/2012

Happy Full Moon & 4th of July everybody!! Hope you all have a spectacular & star spangled weekend! What are you all doing for the 4th? I need to hurry & find the perfect USA bikini to wear, that's hiding somewhere in my enormous collection of bikinis. Ha!! Last Friday I was seized by a Black Sapote fervor (because I had lots of really ripe squishy ones, ha!) so I bustled around in the kitchen and whipped up a raw vegan Black Sapote Truffle cake and a Mango Pineapple Cake with coconut crust. I gave some to friends at Robin's fabulous Living Temple last weekend. The cake part (beneath all the frosting) on the Black Sapote cake came out like real chocolate cake! I was shocked. I'm going to make another Truffle cake because I have another batch of ripe black sapotes. Yay!! Today I made a new batch of Kale Chips & made Veggie Juice too. I got a gorgeous new tray of tall, brilliant green wheatgrass!

We had a bunch of super fun Fruit & Beach adventures this past weekend too, and spent a sunset evening eating huge yellow cherries while watching & listening to the wild green parrot flock of Long Beach. They're so cute!! Really entertaining. We picked lots of kale & black sapotes and also Surinam Cherries. Whoo Hoo!! These are bright shiny red Brazilian cherries, with a beautiful unique shape and also a very different taste. After our Extreme Exotic fruit picking, we headed south all the way to Coronado Island. I love going across that bridge!! We had a fruit picnic in a pretty park with an amazing view of downtown San Diego. Wow!! All the ships, planes taking off & coming in, and sailboats and yachts going by. Have a fun & wonderful 4th of July everybody!! Please remember to keep your pets inside. So many dogs & cats run away on the 4th, afraid of the fireworks. Keep them safe :) Ok! Time to look for the perfect USA Bikini for tomorrow. Uh oh...midnight fashion show coming up??

6/29/2012

Yay!! Summer is soooooo wonderful :) We've had such amazing sunny warm weather lately! It's so beautiful at the beach! And what an abundance of summer fruit & veggies....wow!! I have 3 different types of melons, tons of bananas, black sapotes, apricots, nectarines, peaches, citrus, and enormous rainier Cherries right now. They are Huge!! Plus lychees and so many organic greens. I made Flax Crackers with lots of fresh basil & thyme today, Kale Chips, and raw Chocolate Black Sapote Ice Cream too. I absolutely love fresh herbs & so I keep making tons of raw vegan Flax Crackers. They're SO yummy with the fresh herbs!! short Shorts & Bikinis on SALE!

6/21/2012

Happy Summer Solstice everybody! I hope you're all having a lovely Midsummer Night! Check out my NEW BIKINI Newsletter with so many cute new short Shorts & Bikinis on SALE! Goodness sakes, I just updated Best Beauty Foods after an eternity. Oh dear! Obviously 10 sites is too many to update :0 Ha! I need someone to Ghost blog & Ghost Twitter (a Ghost Tweeter??) for me, while I sell Bikinis, make raw food & run around picking fruit :) I always forget to twitter! Some people do it constantly. I actually write it down on my To Do lists: "Twitter". But I guess it should say Tweet? Anyway, you can find my BRAND NEW and ABSOLUTELY creamy dreamy & delicious raw vegan Black Sapote Chocolate Mousse and Ice Cream recipe in the 6/21 Best Beauty Foods Blog update. Whoo Hoo!!! It's amazing!! Hopefully I've discovered the secret to making perfect smooth creamy raw vegan ice cream with no hard ice crystal splinters?? Read the blog to find out my NEW secrets! Here it is below, in rich decadent fudge like chunks right out of the freezer. I made a pie crust for the Chocolate Mousse, out of dates, nuts, cinnamon (which is incredible to just eat by itself, ha!) and also a fresh strawberry topping to go on top of the mousse. I'm keeping all the layers separate in the fridge so they don't bleed into each other and make a big soggy mess of a cake. I can just serve it in layers for guests and it keeps in the fridge for a few days. The frozen Black Sapote ice cream makes a wonderful ice cream cake when thawed a little and spread over the crust. Yum!!! I'm thawing some out right now, for a Midsummer Night's Creamy Dreamy Midnight treat!!

6/18/2012

Oh My! It was another super FUN glorious sunny weekend!! We went on a big Fruit Picking adventure, got a few purple Mulberries (the season is almost over) apples, yummy blood oranges & meyer lemons, more Black Sapotes, some Jamaican Liliquoi, and picked lots more organic Kale. Do I have enough kale? I think I have 10 lbs now, as well as 5 lbs of spinach. Uh oh!! I'm making salads, Green Smoothies, Kale Chips & Flax Crackers as fast as I can. Ha!! After fruit picking, we drove up through Idyllwild. It's such a beautiful drive! Sunny, way up in the mountains, with gorgeous pine trees. The air smells amazing. Check out this Giant Pinecone!!

Sunday we went on a big beach adventure & had a fruit picnic over looking the ocean. We brought ripe red raspberries, blueberries & sweet juicy honeydew melons. Melons make wonderful travel food!! Just slice in half, scoop the seeds out & eat with a spoon. It comes in its own bowl :) Plus melons are really good for you and so filling! You won't want to snack after. You'll be filled up for a few hours! Anyway, I'm back in BikiniLand now and wow, I just got the CUTEST little Denim Micro Shorts in. I LOVE these shorts!! I think I may have enough short shorts to last me the summer now...and enough kale to last until next weekend at least. Ha!! 10 lbs??!!

6/13/2012

Wow! Summer is here! Check out these insanely CUTE brand New Bikinis I just got in my Bikini Blog. And short shorts! Besides going to the Beach and driving up and down the coast, I've been super busy Fruit Picking & making all kinds of food. We've been picking long purple Mulberries, Black Sapotes, and Loquats. I made some outrageously delicious SuperFood Trail mix from dried Loquats, mulberries, raisins, golden berries, strawberries, goji berries, cacao nibs, and all different raw nuts & seeds. It's so good! Plus I've been making raw vegan Flax Crackers like a chef obsessed. They're so good!! I use tons of fresh herbs, onions & garlic so they're really light & crispy & bursting with flavor. Lately I've been making Onion Herb and Basil Spinach. I can't stop making them and giving them away. Ha!! I don't eat many myself, although I love them. Yesterday I made some scrumptious Black Sapote Mini Chocolate Cakes. So cute!! This frosting is incredible. Thick smooth & sweet like regular frosting!! Crazy. Black Sapotes are one of my all time absolute FAVORITE fruits. They're so chocolately and wonderful!! Here's the recipe for my mini Black Sapote Chocolate Cakes. Don't have Black Sapotes? You can probably omit them and use fresh avocado for the frosting instead, as long as you don't dehydrate the frosting & serve it immediately. Avocado actually makes an incredible chocolate pudding or frosting, but does need to be eaten asap!

I also got to pick 4 pounds of gorgeous green & purple Kale last weekend. Yay!! Today I made a big batch of Kale Chips from it and had some left over for Green Smoothies and Salads. Whoo Hoo!! I'm so in love with kale. I've been buying Earthbound Farm's organic baby Kale mix from the store. Wow!! I am so in love & addicted. It's SO good with a creamy raw Basil Sunflower Seed pate as dressing. I mix it up together with shredded carrots and some extra fresh lemon & orange juice & sea salt and let it marinate for a few minutes. Wow, the best salad Ever :) Have a glorious week everybody and I'll post more of my new recipes Soon!!

5/24/2012

Hi Everybody! Brand NEW Pictures here!! More fun, sunny, breath taking drives up & down the coast. We've been having lots of fun lately discovering more secret scenic spots. And NEW Bikini Newsletter Here! Wow, these are the CUTEST Short Shorts ever, I'm wearing them all the time, I have one of each color :) So comfy, fun & SHOCKINGLY SHORT! I'm wearing the bright pink ones right this minute. This week I went on a super exciting Fruit Adventure in Fallbrook with a friend, we picked mulberries & loquats. It's was so hot & sunny! We basked beneath the mulberry tree, munching berries blissfully. Time seemed to stop. We wanted to stay there all day! I've been lucky enough to get all kinds of yummy organic baby green salad mixes this week, including arugula & a baby kale & chard mix. Wow! I love that one. I can eat it straight from the container. It's almost a shame to blend it up in a Green Smoothie, ha!! I made a new batch of raw Flax Crackers this week too, herb & basil, right now, and I made this batch below last week, basil/spinach/garlic with sundried tomato. I made Kale Chips too!

I'm dehydrating all the loquats I picked, and they're so good! Tart. I'm going to do apricots & peaches next. I've already dried strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, bananas, papaya and mangos. The pineapple is the best. It's like candy!! I've eaten most of it already. Whoops!! All these fruits are for custom made superfood trail mixes that I'm very excited about. They're taking forever because I keep thinking of more fruit to dry and ingredients to add. Ha!! I've been drinking several ounces of wheatgrass juice 4-5 times a week for 3 months now!! Wow! I add TONS of fresh ginger & lemon to make it taste better. And I'm so lucky that the asian market still has Huge Giant Aloe Leaves, I've been adding the gel from almost whole leaf to my Green Smoothie almost every morning. It's a shocking amount! It makes the smoothie taste pretty bitter, but if you use less you won't taste it. I have my own baby aloe garden but I need these big giant leaves :) I wish I could see the plants they are from, they must be enormous! On another note, a fuzzy big eyed Baby Seal note, I get so sad every spring because of the huge Canandian Seal Hunt, but I think it's ending, the Seal Hunt is supposed to be commercially over. I love the Sea Shepard team. Yay!!!! Happy Memorial Day Weekend everybody, summer is here!!!

5/11/2012

Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all the sweet, beautiful, hard working mothers out there! And Happy Mother's Day to my own fabulous, super fun, funny & gorgeous mom :) Thank you so much mom for all the love & everything you do!!

Well, I'm very in love with Dragonfruit right now, and still obsessed with Aloe Vera. Brand NEW Dragonfruit Video and New Dragonfruit PICTURES! Look at these GIANT Aloe Leaves I got at the asian market!! Wow!! I've been eating a whole half every morning in my Green Smoothie. I feel fantastic!! My boyfriend gave me a really pretty antique knife for cutting young coconuts, so I've been making lots of Coconut Fudge Brownies lately too. I split the batch, dehydrate half into brownies and save half as raw fudge for eating on strawberries and just plain. So good!! I'm continuing to juice a tray of wheatgrass a day, and drink several ounces. I've also been really good about making Vegetable Juice twice a week, so I can have a big glass every day. I've been really into crunchy salads lately, instead of just my usual organic baby greens, so I've been making them with lots of cabbage, shredded carrots and tiny grape tomatoes. Yum!! I always forget how much I like cabbage :) Cabbage is really good for you. Do you know it's supposed to help cure ulcers and stomach issues? Yay for cabbage. Have a wonderful weekend everybody!

Happy May Day everyone! Brand NEW Sunset Ocean Pictures Here! NEW Bikini Newsletter with the BIGGEST SALE on cute Yoga Tops & Sarongs yet! When my brother & I were little, we would pick May Day bouquets of wild flowers, leave them on neighbor's doors, knock, and run away. We would do this with my mom too, and she would always act very surprised, like she wondered who could it be?? We lived next to a big forest, and there were lots of beautiful wild flowers everywhere! Spring time smelled SO good. I love Spring! It's my favorite season. All the birds & animals are wildly happy & frisky. Please be careful of these super happy frisky birds & animals, because they'll swoop right in front of your car! Possums, squirrels and raccoons are all running around being happy near busy streets & highways :( please watch out for them! They have families and babies and are trying to have a nice spring day, just like you. I've been flooded with emails for Village Pond Rescue, the bird rescue site I created for my friend, the amazing & miraculous Terry Whatley, who saves SO MANY little wounded birds & creatures. A million blessings to her, she's doing it all for love and doesn't get paid. Do you have ducklings in your swimming pool? If you do, please click here!

Ducklings in pools may be an adorable sight, but the ledges are too high, and little ducklings are too short to jump out. So they slowly die of hypothermia :( because their feathers lack the protective coating to keep them warm. They need a little ramp, or something to hop onto. Once I tried to save the one lone duckling that was still alive & desperately swimming after 3 days of being stuck in the community pool. All his brothers & sisters had died. He was in the hot tub, which was way too hot for him. He was so fast & strong & hard to catch! He thought I was going to eat him, so he dove down deep like a little furry turbo submarine, over & over & over. I finally caught him, took him home and laid him in a box with warm dry towels. He just laid there, exhausted. A little while later, he passed away :( Sorry for the sad story!! But hardly anyone knows that swimming pools are death traps for baby ducklings :( and the mother ducks don't know any better. Be kind to ducklings :) Have a beautiful Spring day and please watch out for your fellow creatures too!

Hey guess what? Brand NEW funny Video, NAKED SNAKED here!! Starring Jake the Snake, who I'm still trying to turn into a vegetarian. It may take awhile. He's a snuggly snake, and likes to make a warm nest under a blanket and poke his little head out to see what's going on. Who knew a snake could be so cute?? It was a super FUN sunny weekend, driving up & down the coast, checking out the waves at all the surf spots. Such warm summery weather! Everyone was out, lots of bikini wearers and beach goers. Easter was wonderful & yummy, blue skies and big puffy clouds as we drove out to the mountains and spent a lovely day with family.

I'm growing a big batch of sunflower sprouts right now, they're so good in salads! Super nutritious. I'm really into cleansing foods right now, and I've been taking diatomaceous earth for a few months, which is sea shell "flour" made from microscopic shells ground into a fine powder. It's supposed to be a superb cleanser and make your hair grow faster! I'm still drinking fresh aloe gel almost every day in my Green Smoothies, and drinking several ounces of store bought aloe juice too. I've been drinking 4 - 10 oz of fresh Wheatgrass Juice 5 days a week for a month now!! I've been Raw Vegan for 10 years, but have gone extra green in the last year. I used to be a fruit addict. Ha!! Now I mostly eat greens.

I changed my diet a little at a time, and it's so different than it used to be. I feel fantastic! I want to incorporate berry smoothies back into my diet though, and try to be better at drinking my raw vegan rice protein shakes. I'm naughty about those...ha!! I also try to focus on 1 or 2 Herb Tinctures a week, and this week I'm taking Lovely Legs. It's good for your heart and circulation and is good for leg vein health. It's funny how little diet and lifestyle changes can really add up! If you can remember to do them everyday, you can totally improve your health and fitness. Sometimes they seem hard or boring or yucky tasting at first :) but then you realize how totally incredible you feel!!! I especially love inventing new exercises and learning new yoga poses, which I incorporate into my Marvelous Midnight Workout, which always seems to happen at midnight, thus the name. I made up a couple new exercises this week, a squat/lunge combo and a few others and I think they're really good. Maybe I should do a Midnight Workout DVD!!!

Happy Easter everyone! Brand NEW Mulberry Madness Pictures Here! I'm featuring the Super Spectacular Sacred Steve on Best Beauty Foods right now. Check him out! He's dazzling, fabulous and makes Totally AMAZING Raw Vegan Chocolate. An Engineer and Chocolatier Extraordinaire!

Did I ever share what I've been so busy working on lately? I re-did my whole Bikini Bottoms section on all 4 Bikini sites. Whew! Next I have to do Thongs & Tops. Oh my! Soooo much work, but fun. I've been getting in all these crazy sexy super CUTE brand new bikini bottoms!! Yay!! Exciting. I'm going to be getting in more Leggings next. Perfect for looking great, working out and staying comfy!

On my Best Beauty Foods Blog, I shared which companies I got really excited about at the Natural Health & Products Expo last month & I also have my brand new YUMMY Fresh Coconut Fudge Recipe, along with all the GREENS I'm growing, sprouting, juicing, and blending. Whew! So much wheatgrass has been drunk recently :0 I'm also sprouting super tasty little Sunflower Sprouts right now that are so good in salads! This past weekend was a glorious sparkling breezy blend of sun, surf, wind, beaches, and brilliant blue sky. Below, I'm next to a Goji Berry bush, full of fresh ripe Goji berries! Do you know Goji bushes can grow in Southern California? Yay!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! Here are our Easter videos Bunny Ball and Easter Clown (with me as a Clown!) from a few years ago. I'm sending out big prayers, hopes and wishes for all the adorable bunnies that will be given as Easter gifts, then ignored or abandoned when the children get bored with them. Let's hope all these bunnies go to very kind families who give them soft bedding in their hard wire cages. Can you imagine standing, hopping, laying and living day & night on a bare naked metal cage floor?? Ouch, horrible. People keep their bunnies this way way though :( Let's hope this year's Easter Bunnies also get fresh food and owners who let them out of their cages to stretch and hop around. Our family used to let our rabbit (who was abandoned and my mom & brother rescued from the forest by our house) out every day. And he got lots of papaya and snuggly bedding! Do you know that rabbits love Papaya? They love lots of different kinds of fruit. And it's really good for them!

Hi everybody!! Wow, it's officially spring, right? Yay!! Brand NEW Model Pictures Here! I Check out our BRAND NEW Bikini Newsletter for Very Special Sales :) I just love all these comfy new Yoga Clothes, I wear them all the time. I try to only wear active wear in daily life so I can spontaneously burst into aerobic activity at any given moment. Ha!! Well, I still have to fill you in on the wonderful Expo booths that I really liked, and that will come soon. I've been so busy with bikinis! I've also been juicing tons of wheatgrass, beautiful emerald green trays, and still going strong with Green Smoothies and Veggie Juice. Good Heavens I drank about 8 oz yesterday :0 Yikes!! I juice it with fresh ginger & lemon, I like it better that way. And my boyfriend likes his wheatgrass juice sprinkled with cayenne pepper!

This past weekend was ridiculously fun, with 3 big long top off convertible rides, my favorite kind, lots of yummy snacks for picnics, and loud dance music the entire time. We went up to Redondo to watch the sunset, and fed seagulls as they hovered directly above us in the convertible as we tossed them food. And miraculously there were no accidents on our heads! It's amazing how coordinated Seagulls are...how they hover and catch the bread as you throw it up to them. So incredible to watch! Then we drove to Beaumont the next day and it was SO beautiful with cows grazing in a huge grassy field and snow covered mountains. I bought a bunch of honey dates on the way. YUM!!! Just like caramel. I LOVE honey dates!! Then Monday we watched the sunset in the Long Beach Harbor. You can drive back inside where the huge cargo ships dock and get all kinds of cool views of downtown and the Queen Mary. It's so pretty seeing the cruise ships coming and going too. Anyway I hope you're all having a wonderful week!! Please be kind to all animals & bugs and I'll update again soon :)

I also updated Best Beauty Foods with brand NEW herbal Tinctures! The Man Power is very popular, and I really like Stress Less. It quickly puts in a happy peaceful mood if I'm frazzled. And I am SO excited about the Natural Health & Products Expo this weekend!It's so thrilling & yummy & inspiring to run around meeting so many health conscious people, seeing amazing products and sampling LOTS of tasty superfoods, snacks and raw chocolate!!! I'm sure I'll be pretty hyper on cacao all weekend long. Ha!! I'll give you an update on what I loved most next week. Have a super fun & fabulous weekend everyone!

2/29/2012

Happy Leap Year everyone!! Goodness Gracious, I've been in a Bikini Whirlwind lately. Buying, Selling, Shipping! I LOVE all the new Yoga Clothes. My customers mostly just want to keep buying skimpy tiny bikini bottoms however. Don't their bottoms ever get cold? Mine does. At some point you have to put some pants on!! Don't you?? Anyway, I've been so busy I've barely had time to make food. And no time for raw vegan gourmet food or kale chips or chocolate. Just LOTS of Green Smoothies with Aloe, salads & Veggie Juice. And of course some Beach Sunsets & Coast Cruising :) Whew, I haven't even had any time for Doomsday Possible End of the World Prepping, which I've begun to grow quite concerned about. I've also been REALLY wanting to film some new videos. But it's fun & hectic, when the bikinis are busy. And I'm buying LOTS of brand new stuff right now for spring. Check out this Month's Newsletter for super SALES and FREE SHIPPING!

My parents came to visit and it was absolutely wonderful, exciting & fun. We went to yummy restaurants, strolled through sunny beautiful beach towns and even hiked through the wilderness a little. We went to my cousin's wedding, which was spectacular and a totally amazing incredibly fun time. Excellent salads & outrageous dancing with an awesome DJ!! All my relatives were out there dancing to club hits played loud, fast, with a pulsing strobe light. I kicked my high heels off (they actually broke, ha!) and could have danced all night!! At one point my mom & I were the only ones out there, hopping, bopping & bouncing. SO Fun!! Congratulations to my cousin & his lovely bride :)

I'm very sad about Davy Jones, especially since he was only 66. That's so young!! He probably thought he was going to live forever, singing, dancing, being a Monkey. I had such a crush on him when I was little. I thought he was so cute!! And I've always loved their music. Let's all make Leap Year Wishes, to be fabulous, have lots of fun & live forever :) or at least way past next December!! Yikes, I need to start prepping, and Aloe Vera drinks & frozen durian aren't going to cut it. Ha!!

2/9/2012

Oh my Gosh! I just made the yummiest, creamiest, most INCREDIBLE raw vegan Mamey Sapote Ice Cream!!! I found frozen mamey in a local hispanic market, added a few bananas & a cup of coconut cream, a TB or two of raw honey, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and lots of cinnamon and topped it with Goji Berries. Wow!!! Amazing!! It tastes just like Pumpkin Pie!!! Ooooh I bet I could add a thickener like coconut butter or even psyllium and it would make a super duper raw vegan Pumpkin Pie. I also made Divine Durian Ice Cream, with two packages of frozen durian, 2 TB honey, 2 bananas & 1 1/2 C Coconut Cream. Ahhhh heavenly. I topped it with fresh Blueberries, but Strawberries would be fabulous too. Yum!! Durian & Coconut Cream is a blissful, spectacular combination. So Luscious!! I like my raw vegan ice cream kind of melted, like a cold creamy pudding, but I want to get some guar gum and experiment to see if it makes ice cream creamier and thicker without frozen particles. Hmmm....I made awesome Green Juice yesterday, with lots of Celery, Cucumber, Gotu Kola, a big lemon, some fresh Turmeric Root, Garlic, Ginger, Apples. Really terrific & what a Buzz!!! Yay!!!!

2/7/2012

Hi everybody! Wow, I've been so busy lately with all the brand NEW & exciting clothes I'm adding to my Bikini sites. This week it's these comfy & pretty Yoga Pants below. I love these! Thanks to my very talented photographer, Mr. Frabasilio, I have model pictures of all these new items, plus the Sun Hats. Last weekend was so warm & summery!! Perfect for model pictures & Sunset Coast Cruising. I wore my brand new Jean Leggings out dancing! So light, cool, comfortable & fun. I adore these leggings & am buying more! I danced for hours in them. Tonight it's drizzling & I'm hopping around my room doing my taxes. That's not very fun at all!!

I'm still totally in Love with aloe vera & gotu kola and am having 2 Green Smoothies every day, plus of course my giant dinner salad. Go Greens! I bought several CUTE juicy perky little baby Aloe Plants this week and can't wait until they grow big so I can start using & eating them. They have beautiful plump leaves and taste less bitter than the variety of aloe I've been eating. I've eating way less chocolate, thanks to all the extra greens & aloe I think. Plus I have TONS of energy & feel totally fantastic!! I'm sprinkling quite a bit of cayenne powder on my dinner salads too...I had to work up to it, but now I love it!! Cayenne pepper is supposed to be really good for you and helps your heart, rebuilds new red blood cells, heals ulcers, eliminates toxins and aids digestion. Wow!! It's also really good in fresh guacamole :) I have a new big idea for dessert time, a lower calorie, fruity based sweet treat to help me forgo cacao at night :) I will start doing kitchen creations & concoctions soon & report back. Have a wonderful week everybody & be kind to all Animals & Bugs!!

1/26/2012

Whoo Hoo! It's been a SUPER duper FUN week!! It was sunny summery & gorgeous today, yet it poured rain on Monday. Crazy!! The plants loved it, everything is green & washed clean. I am way too excited about juicing my fresh Gotu Kola, which I really want to start growing. I've been making really intense yummy green juices with cucumbers, celery, fresh turmeric, gotu kola, garlic, spinach, cilantro, lemon & apples. Yum!! My boyfriend thinks they taste horrible, so you might too. Ha!! I'm pretty used to severely green juice though. My body loves them!! I've also been SO obsessed with aloe drinks. I got some fantastic amazingly yummy Lychee & Aloe drinks in Little Saigon & I've been having them for dessert. And mangosteen juice. Wow!! They're incredible!!! And a little naughty, but they are sweetened with sugar cane so not too bad.

I finally, this morning, for the first time EVER, used real fresh aloe, just picked, in my daily Green Breakfast Smoothie. I used about 3 inches. Just blended it up with all the organic spinach. I could barely taste it!!!! Then I licked a piece of aloe by itself and totally gagged. Yuck!!!! So bitter!!!! Blends up really well with sweet juice though. I felt so super turbo charged afterwards that I made another green smoothie later!!! Then made a bunch of Gotu Kola juice, then of course had my usual enormous eye popping Dinner salad of organic spring mix, home grown sprouts, seaweed, avocado, hempseed oil dressing with lime & orange juice & grape tomatoes. Hmmm, lychee juice for dessert I think!!! I finished 8 brand new herbal tinctures this week, which will be up in all their glory soon. I've been taking one of them & feel fabulous. I've been so busy with the Bikini sites, adding LOTS of new products. Yoga clothes!! Men's Thongs!! Long Sarongs!! Sun Hats!! More Skinny Jean Leggings!! Oh my, what will be next? Am working like crazy to get all these new items up SOON. And get all 5 sites looking beautiful of course. Whew!!! Have a wonderful weekend everybody and be kind to all animals & bugs, even funny looking ones :)

1/19/2012

Oh my Goodness! It's been a super exciting very busy ultra stimulating week filled with fruit adventures!! See my NEW PICTURES here! And the Bikinis are selling like crazy. Yay!! Thank you world, for buying lots of bikinis in the middle of winter. I'm shipping teensy tiny skimpy bikinis to France, Denmark, Kazakhstan (Wow!!) and LOTS to Canada. It's thrilling because I'm able to buy cute NEW items, like these movie star glam Sun Hats and sexy Skinny Jean Leggings. These leggings are so amazing!! Everyone thinks they're just really tight jeans. When I tell them they're leggings, they come right up & touch the fabric because they don't believe me. Ha!!! So comfy. I LOVE them!! I have a big collection going now, so I'll be adding MORE styles online :) I just sent out my Valentines Day SALE newsletter featuring them.

My boyfried & I have been going to our favorite asian stores a lot this week and I've become obsessed with Aloe Vera drinks. I'm so hooked on them!! They have little aloe gel pieces floating around, which I know sounds yucky, but they're SO good. I want to grow tons of aloe so I can make my own fresh healthy aloe drinks. We also went to a big Latino market and I was overjoyed to find my favorite brand of exotic frozen fruit, Goya, which makes Lucuma, Guanabana, Cherimoya, Passion Fruit, Guava and MORE!!! Yay!!

But the most thrilling discovery of the week was when I found out, at 2am in the morning, all hyper, on the computer, listening to trance music, that Gotu Kola is also called Pennywort. Wow!!!! This is huge :) Because I had noticed a weedy looking green called Pennywort in the produce section of the asian market but didn't realize it was actually Gotu Kola, the famed memory & brain booster & overall youth enhancer. It's supposed to increase your mental abilities and even improve the elasticity & youthfulness of your skin! Whoo Hoo!!! The next day we raced right over & I bought 4 huge bunches. I tasted a leaf & was greatly alarmed because it was incredibly bitter & strong. Oh dear!! Could I ever make drinkable juice out of this?? Well, I juiced 1 bunch today, along with celery, carrots, ginger, fresh turmeric, garlic, baby bok choy, Italian parsley, cilantro, 2 lemons, and a bunch of divine black grapes. And it was SO yummy!!! The grapes either totally saved it, or it's not as bitter when it's juiced. I'm especially delighted, because I take Gotu Kola in my Smarty Pants tincture, but the fresh green juice must be so much more potent than the dried herb!! I'm going to forgo the cilantro, parsley & bok choy next time and it will probably be even sweeter. Hooray for Brain Boosting & Youth Enhancing!!!!

So there will be lots more Gota Kola juicing (does in grow all year?? Can I grow it myself??) tight Skinny Jeans and Sun Hats wearing, and aloe drinking going on here. And beach rides of course :) We saw such a gorgeous sunset up the coast last weekend. Every sunset is so different & glorious!

On a very sad note, we will all miss Sarah Burke. She was so brave, beautiful & talented!! An awe inspiring athlete. Living her life to the fullest, doing what she loved most. My heart goes out to her family. Every moment is so precious! And we don't know how many moments we have. Enjoy every one of them!

1/7/2012

Hi everybody! Wow, this whole week was SO warm & sunny!!! In the 80's, with big huge crashing waves. I got to ride on my boyfriend's handlebars as he biked home from surfing at sunset, towing his longboard, on the rockiest roughest trail I've ever seen. Yikes!! Huge rocks!! That was a really FAST harrowing, thrilling, scary ride!! My bare legs were sticking straight out as we went bumping & bouncing over all those sharp dangerous looking rocks & I was clinging on for dear life. Ha!! We also took two spectacular long sunset rides along the coast to Palos Verdes, and got beautiful bright pink sunset pictures. Yay!! Those will be up soon. Check out our NEW Pictures of Talia & I modeling her gorgeous handmade jewelry!

I'm making a batch of raw vegan Chocolate Orange Persimmon mini pies right now. Whoo Hoo!!! Kind of by accident. Ha!! I had some raw superfood trail mix I'd made that I had sprinkled with raw cacao powder. I added 1 TB of orange zest, some dates & a sprinkle of salt & mixed that into dough for the little crusts, and then I mixed up hachiya persimmons with cinnamon & dates for the filling. Wow, so Yummy!!! I love this combo. I'm eating one right now. It's not quite done, but it's so delicious I couldn't help myself :) It's all warm from the dehydrator & goes pretty well with the Bubleurum Frankincense tea I'm drinking!

12/31/2011

Happy New Year everyone!! Yay!!!!! Hello 2012!!! Hope you all had wonderful holidays. I had tons of fun in Seattle with my family. I think I actually lost weight over Christmas?? Crazy!! Admidst mountains of luscious dark chocolate at my parents house & all kinds of treats, I found myself in a workout frenzy. A frenzy!! It was fun :) My parents have an elliptical machine, like I do at home, so I did that twice a day for 40 - 50 minutes, plus I did quick little intervals of sit-ups, squats & arm exercises all throughout the day. I think the interval training really helped to burn calories!!

I did eat dark vegan chocolate but tried to avoid the other treats. I made green smoothies for all of us everyday, vegan vanilla coconut protein drinks with pea protein (my favorite kind!!)& cinnamon & cardamom. Yum!!! On some days I had TWO green smoothies. Plus huge dinner salads with yummy organic spinach, spring mix, nori, sprouts, creamy avocados and fresh raw vegan dressing every night. I felt fantastic and my family loved everything too. I bought 42 paperback books at the thrift store and spent many blissful hours by the fire and the Christmas tree all snuggled up reading & sipping green tea. It was a lovely & magical time with my family. And I feel skinnier for New Years!!! Whoo Hoo!!!! Have a super FUN fabulous weekend everyone!! Please be careful & keep your PETS inside, lots of beloved pets are lost on New Years because they get scared of the fireworks...

12/19/2011

And we also have a Dancing & Bloopers video, if you want to see how excited & energetic you can get just eating fruit. Ha!! Talia's recipe for Persimmon Spice Pie is SO amazing. She's made several, and I am overjoyed to eat them. Her crust is really fabulous!! I wanted to try making little pies, with a crisper crust just for fun, and I LOVE making them. They're SO yummy!! I'll put new recipes up on Best Beauty Foods soon. Have a lovely, yummy and happy delightful holidays everyone!!!! Be kind to everyone, let your friends & loved ones know how much you love & appreciate them and all animals & bugs. It's their happy holidays too!!!

12/12/2011

What a spectacular full moon weekend!! The moon has been so big bright white & beautiful for days now. I've been having tons of fun making raw vegan food with Veggie Vibes. I helped cater a party with them, for a super cool & well known raw food & superfood company. I also went on a totally fun & beautiful drive all through Naples to look at the spectacular Christmas lights!! The houses along the water ways go all out. Wow!! What a fantastic holiday display!! The houses are all lit up, glowing with rainbow colors in the dark night, the lights reflecting on the water. And people are strolling along enjoying them, and riding by in little boats too. It's SO magical!! We tried to drive through Balboa Peninsula too, but it was too crowded, we'll have to go back. So many cute stores there! I'm sure there are tons of gorgeous lit up houses & holiday displays. Fun!!

I got to share yummy Veggie Vibes food with a bunch of friends over the weekend, and was inspired to make a bright Pink Cabbage Salad (below left) and a marinated Kale & Red Cabbage Salad. Omg both turned out SO good!!! The Pink Cabbage salad has tons of different crunchy fresh veggies in a creamy ginger Tahini sauce, and the Kale Salad is just kale & red cabbage marinated in a creamy garlic Tahini sauce. Really exciting flavors!! Fun to share because they're so vibrant & colorful. Really satisfying & filling too, probably because they're so crunchy, perfect for dinner. Please sign up for my Best Beauty Foods Newsletter (upper right corner) because I'll have these Recipes up soon! I also made some little Blackberry Mini Pies today. So cute!! The crusts are dehydrating right now, along with slices of bananas, persimmons & plums for a dried fruit mix. They're so sweet, they taste like candy! Mmmmm....I made special magic tea tonight with hibiscus flowers, blue lotus flowers & rehmannia root & am going to drink it with blackberry pie in a little bit. I love this tea, I just invented it, it's so delicious & a bright red pink color. Soon I'll add it to my collection of unique Teas. Have a lovely week everyone!!

12/8/2011

Whew!! Been busy lately! Selling bikinis & making yummy raw vegan delights :) I just made this Raspberry Chocolate Cake the other night, and it turned out really good. I have tons of fresh blackberries right now, so I need to make blackberry pie next!! Went on a gorgeous drive along the coast last night & we had a spectacular Sunset picnic dinner with special treats made by Chef Perkunas of Veggie Vibes. It was so fun!! Cold but so clear & beautiful.

I'm getting excited because soon I'm going to be buying some brand NEW bikini styles for all my Bikini sites. Yay!!! So I'm busy eating a watermelon right now (for dessert!! To prevent late night chocolate eating :) and shopping, fantastizing about which dresses, mini skirts, tops & bottoms to buy. They're all super skimpy. Ha!!! Seriously, they are blowing my mind right this minute from their sheer cuteness. Tutus!!! Sequins!!! Tiny scrunchy brazil bikini bottoms!! Just looking at them makes me want to do squats & sit-ups. Oh dear!! Sigh, I have drawers full of brand new ultra teeny tiny sexy bikinis that I've never worn because I'm too shy. Hmmm...when I'm going to start wearing all these spectacular bikinis?? When I'm eighty? Yikes, hopefully not. Ha!!! Hope you are all having a gloriously happy week. It's been super sunny & pretty here, but kind of chilly. Ok, back to shopping, staring, eating bites of watermelon & dreaming of bikinis :)

11/28/2011

How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was perfect, small, simple & cozy!! We had some extra Yummy food from the amazing Chef Perkunas of Veggie Vibes. I did not overeat or stuff myself as I have on other Thanksgivings. Yay!! That was good. I was trying to practice the Secrets of looking Thin After Thanksgiving that I wrote, so thank heavens I actually followed them. Ha!!! :) On Black Friday, Talia & I celebrated by not shopping at the mall...at all!!! And instead we drove out into the country to pick the best & most beautiful organic pineapple guavas, tropical guavas, persimmons, palm fruit & pomegranates. I have Videos of most of these rare Exotic Fruits! We got to taste 10 different types of rare pomegranates! Super sweet ones with tiny seeds that burst in your mouth. I also loved the Hong Kong Pink variety of guavas we tasted. Yum!! Then we went on a big sunset hike & had a super yummy garden fresh salad for dinner, followed by chocolate, of course :)

The rest of the weekend was super sunny & warm. I visited a fun bazaar by the beach, made beautiful beet & carrot veggie juice & went on pretty drives. Relaxing and fun!!! Here are the SEATTLE Pictures from when I visited in the summer!! I'm catching up on Pictures! Only a few months behind. Ha!!!!! And I just emailed out my Newsletter. Have you subscribed yet? In the upper right hand corner :) don't miss out!

11/22/2011

Happy almost Thanksgiving everyone!! Wow so sunny & gorgeous out today. Brand NEW PICTURES here! And a NEW VIDEO, Sticky Finger Fruit. Check it out!! Hope you all have a yummy & super FUN Fantastic Holiday :) Here are some tips & tricks to look Thin After Thanksgiving!! Be kind and save a turkey..go Vegan this T day!!

11/15/2011

Did you all have a spectacular 11/11/11? I hope so!! It was a magical weekend, especially with the full moon. So much energy! It's a good time to purge all the unwanted negative things from your life that are draining you or causing you stress and only attract positive energy to yourself. Prepare for the new year!! Are there things you don't like in your life? Maybe things, situations or relationships that are affecting you in a negative way? Use your strength to change, transform, and end these right now. It's time for New beginnings! Life is too short to waste your precious time with negative situations or people. Start saying positive affirmations to yourself all day long. It sounds silly, but it works!! Especially if you start now, it will soon be automatic, like a soundtrack that plays in the back of your mind :)

I was lucky enough to see the most stunning sight...we were on a sunset cruise passing through the Long Beach Harbor, and I saw an enormous cruise ship setting out to sea. So we sped down through the harbor, down past all the huge seafood packing warehouses (stinky!!) chasing this wondrous floating city and caught it just in time, with a big full moon behind it! Wow!!!! It was a beautiful sight to see. Sight to Sea!!! And just before Sunset, we had parked right beneath a cluster of palm trees with a large flock of chattering parrots who were settling down to sleep. So cute!! Grooming each other in pairs, flying from tree to tree, hopping around, trying to get comfy & go to sleep. Luckily they didn't decide to drop anything on our heads :) it's dangerous parking right beneath a huge flock of birds in a convertible. Ha!!!

I've been lucky enough to be helping Chef Perkunus and sampling his lovely & totally delicious healthy raw vegan creations. Wow!! Yum :) Check out his special Thanksgiving menu for next week. Pumpkin Bread...Pumpkin Pie....Oh My!!!! Please sign up for my Newsletter (upper right) for more news & Stay tuned for new Pictures & a Brand New video coming SOON :)

11/8/2011

I've been SO busy lately!! Last week I cat sat 7 feral cats. All adorable, all super hyperactive, rescued by my amazing & wonderful friend. There is a group of feral cats at his work, and he has been taking care of them for a couple years now, feeding them, getting them fixed. He adopted as many as he could :) They are very lovable & so grateful that he is kind enough to care for them. So last week was pretty frisky, feline & friendly. Ha!! This past weekend I was so excited to be able to help Perkunas & Erika of Veggie Vibes create this week's totally delicious healthy & spectacular menu for delivery. Perkunas is lightning fast in the kitchen; a genius at work, blending, juicing, chopping stirring, mixing, and dehydrating. His raw vegan pizzas are out of this world!! Everything he makes is totally outstanding with amazing & unique flavors. Each fantastic yummy creation is a work of art & labor of love!!

This week has been SO Sunny & beautiful!! I've been filming & catching up on Bikinis. And eating a lot of watermelons!! But by now you've probably guessed that :) Right? Ha ha!!!!

11/5/2011

So spectacularly Sunny & Gorgeous today! Had so much fun celebrating Talia's birthday with her :) Made Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies that were AMAZING!! I was suprised how yummy there were.

Please sign up for the Best Beauty Foods Newsletter because this recipe for these raw vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies is going to be in the very next newsletter!! For more incredible raw vegan desserts, please see our Recipe Section! I'm still amassing great quantities of Watermelons, and eat at least 1 every day, with a green smoothie, a big glass of Veggie Juice, and a large salad for dinner. I've really cut back on my chocolate eating!!!! Maybe the watermelons are taking away my chocolate cravings? Hmmm...interesting!!

11/3/2011

It seems like everybody's costume is extra fantastic & cute this year. I love seeing all the different ones!!!

I'm still eating a watermelon everyday, with a big huge glass of veggie juice. I added my Green Smoothies back in (yikes, been making some with organic baby ARUGULA!!! They actually taste SO Good!!) and extra large wonderful Salads. I got SO MANY gorgeous glorious organic GREENS at the store last week. Wow!!! Yikes, I bought SO many (ummm....too many!!) plus 12 watermelons. It caused a big commotion in the store!! Ha!!!! Everyone was staring at my cart and more people were alarmed when I starting checking out. Ha!!! I really want to go back to just watermelons & veggie juice though, and do another fast. Maybe when I eat up all these beautiful greens & hopefully stopy myself from buying more. They're just too tempting in the fridge when I have them!! All crunchy & vibrant & wanting to get eaten. It's hard to ignore them & only eat watermelon, because then they pout & start to go limp. We've had such amazing Sunny outstanding Indian Summer weather lately. So nice out!!!! Everyone have an Excellent & Exciting & safe Halloween!!!! Here's my new favorite SUPER DUPER SECRET WEIGHTLOSS TIP: Do You Want to Avoid eating Candy & Treats this Halloween? Fill up on Watermelon first!!!! It works :) Those Halloween sweets may taste good, but they're so bad for you :( and will make you feel lousy later. Say no & you'll feel friskier in your costume and the next day!!! Or Indulge your sweet tooth in a Healthy way with raw Vegan Dark Chocolate or these Superfood Dessert Recipes :)

10/22/2011

OMG I'm on DAY 6 of my FAST!! Can you believe it???? My first ever REAL FAST!!! I've lost 7 lbs, and weigh 98 lbs right now. I can't stop wearing my skinny jeans. Ha!! They've never fit before! I feel fantastic. I'm still fasting on Watermelon & Veggie Juice. Watermelon is perfect because it's SO filling!! I'm still eating about 1 - 2 small/medium watermelons a day plus a huge glass of Veggie juice, sometimes more. This morning I made a big batch of Bok Choy, Arugula, Cilantro Celery GREEN JUICE with lemons, ginger, garlic, apples, fresh turmeric. Picture below! Hmmmm...hopefully it's not too terrible. Ha!!! I haven't tried it yet. I'm working out once a day for 30 minutes...I usually do twice a day of 30 - 40 minutes. But since I'm fasting I decided to take it easy. Except for the other night at Halloween Haunt, where I raced around like a hyperactive hamster for 5 straight hours in the cold night air on almost zero calories :) Wheeeee!!!

On Thursday night I went to Knott's Scary Farm with a friend and WOW!!!! We had SO much fun!!!! We go every year, I love it. We went on a ton of rides, 12 haunted Mazes, and saw so many ghosts & monsters!!! We went on Silver Bullet 3 times right away (it's our very favorite) it's so beautiful over the water....and we also rode on the new Swing Ride that's 300 feet up in the air!! Whoo Hoo!!!! Also La Revolucion, which we love, and then we went on a bunch of other rides too. I still haven't tried the Xcelerator but I will get brave one of these times. It's so spooky & exciting running through the park at night :) especially Ghost Town, with all the fog machines going & the ghouls lurking in the mist. Eeek!!! It's a wonderful magical time, I love it. I wish I could go 10 times. We totally lucked out, there weren't many people there (usually it's SO crowded) so there were short lines to everything & we got to race through the entire park all night long without the huge crowds. Have a beautiful day everyone & stay JUICY!!!! Will update again soon :)

10/19/2011

WOW, Halloween is almost here!! That's exciting & shocking. BRAND NEW PICTURES Here!! Of some of our favorite Beach lookouts from driving up & down the California Coast. Which I could do endlessly, in a convertible, with music & snacks :) I am proud & very surprised to announce that I'm on DAY 3 of a FAST. Omg!!! I'm fasting!!!! And I have all kinds of yummy treats & chocolate in the fridge too!!! Yes, unbelievable. Don't be too impressed though, it's just because I have a stomach bug so I barely have any appetite at all :( I've eaten 2 melons a day for 2 days, and today I've eaten 2 melons & am drinking a large glass of yucky super intense veggie juice right now. Ick!!! I juiced all my greens & produce in the fridge since I knew I couldn't eat them in time...so this veggie juice has carrots, beets, ginger, fresh turmeric, garlic, bok choy, arugula, celery, cilantro, lemons, tomatoes....hmmm...yuck...All I really want is watermelon right now. Isn't that funny? Nothing else sounds good, not even chocolate!! Now that's shocking. Ha!! I haven't weighed myself, but I can tell I've LOST SEVERAL POUNDS. Hmmm, quick find the skinny jeans!! Ha!!!!!

Last weekend besides our usual extra super FUN Coast Cruising, we went to the Asian Market and combed EVERY AISLE for interesting things. It was so fascinating!!!! There are SO MANY herbs & dried mushrooms there. All types!!! We bought a lot of exciting greens, fresh produce & exotic mushrooms, and more young coconuts & coconut cream. Yay!!! We like to freeze our coconut cream in ice cube trays to use in recipes & also to make frozen fruit ice cream with, using our Champion Juicer. Yum!!!!!

Are you all ready for Halloween? I'm still not quite sure what I'm going to be yet. I just put out my HALLOWEEN SALE Bikini Newsletter, which has some very cute & spooky Halloween costume ideas :) I'll have some NEW Videos up soon, so stay tuned. Want more news & updates? Follow me on Twitter!

Plus I added a whole bunch of our older & popular videos. More Brand NEW videos coming soon, possibly involving snakes, chocolate & fruit :)

I've been making lots of raw vegan chocolate lately, & dehydrated Cinnamon Bananas (YUM) making Veggie Juice with fresh Turmeric root (I put raw cauliflower in the veggie juice yesterday!!) and making Kale Chips too.

It's a special someone's Birthday this weekend so I made 4 batches of raw vegan Superfood Chocolate this morning, plus 1 batch of Bliss Mix (Chocolate covered mulberries, raisins, dried bananas, raw nuts, & more!), dehydrated Bananas, and Cinnamon Apple Pear fruit leather. Whew!! All I've had today is kale chips & chocolate tastes :) I need to drink Veggie juice right now! Above is all the Chocolate I made today & the Bliss Mix. I made Cashew Chocolate (blue bowl) Coconut Fudge (circles) & 2 different Crunchy Chocolate Batches (the seashells) I'll try to take more glamorous pics later. These were starting to melt & I didn't want to fuss with photography :)

We are featuring the incredible raw vegan Chef Bianca this month and you can read more about it in our Best Beauty Foods Newsletter. Talia has been doing lots of spectacular Bikini Model pictures lately, for all 4 bikini sites, BikiniFlirt, BikiniFairy, BikiniFrenzy, and BikiniSweetie. I'm glad it's Friday, whoo hoo!!! I'm ready for more Beach rides, Cactus Fruit Juicing, Ice Cream making & Fantastic Fruit Finding. Have a Fabulous weekend everybody!!

Wow!!! MORE NEW PICTURES! from our last adventure :) And a BRAND NEW VIDEO! Yay!! "Traci in the Wild", where you can see us picking Jamaican Lilikoi & White Sapotes. My friends & I had a Glorious labor day weekend, lots of Beach time, cruising up & down the Coast, Salad Making & fun in the Kitchen! Also, the beautiful little black skinny stray kitty I've been feeding has been adopted by a neighbor, along with her 3 kittens. This neighbor is a total angel, and I am so grateful to her. Hooray!! I've been so worried about this cat family. Thank goodness for amazing generous people like her who are able to show so much LOVE & Compassion to an adorable animal in dire need of help. There are so many opportunities for us to show love & compassion everyday, and so many people & animals that need it from us!

I made 2 HUGE batches of chocolate today, my raw vegan dark chocolate and also my raw vegan dark chocolate coconut fudge, for a party this weekend. YUM!! And of course I ate way too much doing, uh, taste testing :) Ha!!! Mmmm...I think I need to eat a piece or two right now. I'm going to eat some with my new Triphala tea, which is an excellent detoxer, rejuvenator, & totally good for you, but seriously nasty tasting. Maybe I should drink the tea after the chocolate. Ha!! Stay tuned for a BRAND NEW Chocolate Video coming very SOON!!

Oh my goodness!!! NEW PICTURES are UP! Such extra Fun, fabulous & Fruity adventures lately!! My friends & I have been going on super duper fun hikes, fruit forages, going to the beach, great parties & more! Talia & I have been doing lots of modeling & making big yummy salads & lots of raw vegan food. This last weekend we went to a fantastic party & drum circle beneath the stars on a warm balmy friday night, and had a super delicious raw vegan Orange Chai Cake, made by the marvelously talented Bianca Eden. Yum!! Talia & I may have to retire from being bikini models just so we can eat cake like that everyday. Ha!!!!! Then we cruised up & down PCH through the beach towns, went to Little Saigon, got fresh rambutan, lychees, jackfruit, coconuts & sugar cane juice. Ooooh, I love rambutans now!!! More than lychees!!! We bought some insanely sweet figs from Barry Koral. We visited a magical white sapote grove & picked big huge beautiful white sapotes & Jamaican Lilikois too. Wow, soooo much fun :) Hard to go back to work after an amazing weekend like that. But hey, next weekend is coming up fast!

Other than those fruitful day trips, I've been making NEW tinctures (Dynamo for extra energy & Dessert Destroyer to help keep you -and me- from eating sweets) and I've also been giving food & water to the sweetest & cutest stray cat ever. She's so tiny & skinny!! She looks so small & young, half starved & is nursing kittens :( She's * bursting* with love & affection. She's all black with a white diamond on her chest. As soon as her kittens are old enough, I want to get her spayed to help prevent more hungry stray kitties. Poor baby girl, it's a hard hungry life for homeless kitties. Anyway, have a glorious week everybody, and get ready for Labor Day Weekend!!!!

8/16/2011

Wow!!! I had such a SUPER FUN exciting trip to Seattle!!! I went on tons of hikes through the forest and to the beach, picked huckleberries & blackberries, walked all over downtown, along the waterfront, ate big yummy amazing salads and made incredible green kale smoothies everyday. It's so interesting to completely change your workout for a week! Instead of running & jump roping, I was hiking up big huge hills twice a day. I felt terrific!! We got to check out several different Whole Foods too, that's always exciting :) And I tried a really cool veggie juice by Evolution called Essential Greens, it had kale & celery, cucumber & sprouts in it! It was flash pasteurized since it was store bought, but I was really impressed. It's a great way to get your green juice on the fly, if you can't make it yourself or go to the juice bar. I will have my Seattle pictures up soon, but for now, here's some BRAND NEW Bikini Pictures of Talia & I at the Beach! I just got home a few days ago & did a massive shopping trip. I filled up the ENTIRE fridge with greens. I need to hurry & make fresh veggie juice! I got tons of fresh turmeric. Plus I got fresh Jackfruit & figs yesterday, had some black sapotes for dessert last night. Yum!!!

8/3/2011

Such a super FUN long Exciting Adventurous weekend with friends! Lots of fruit foraging, hiking, coast cruising, beach running and making yummy raw vegan salads, fresh juices and chocolate. I made raw vegan dark chocolate fudge with coconut that's been a huge hit! Also onion crackers, which is a new flavor for me. My friends & I went to a bunch of different beaches up & down the coast, took LOTS of bikini pictures for BikiniFlirt, picked black & white sapotes & Jamacian liliquoi and then went to Little Saigon for fresh Jackfruit, rambutan, lychees, jujubees and sugar cane juice. YUM!! Rambutans are SO sweet & yummy and they must be in season right now because they were cheap. I love Rambutans!!!!! We also went on a beautiful magical hike in the forest, thrift store shopping, $1 store shopping, and had an amazing lunch at the Greenery. We went dancing too!! I love going dancing :) We took lots of pictures and I'll post them soon! I'm going out of town (can I take rambutans on the airplane??) but I'll post pictures from our adventures when I get back. I should be packing Right This Minute but I'm trying to make Onion Crackers & Chocolate Coconut fudge at the last minute :) My suitcase will be full of food with no room for clothes :0 Have a wonderful week everybody!!

7/20/2011

Hi everybody! Brand New PICTURES here! You can see the Lizard in my Bed, the Seagull that I saved, and the Beaches I've been to lately. Wow, can you believe it's almost August? Incredible!! Summer is flying by! I've been having tons of fun, going on a lot of easy breezy topless convertible rides up and down the coast, watching the sunset from different beaches. The sun looks HUGE going down behind Long Beach Harbor. Enormous!! That was a spectacular sunset, and so fun watching the full moon rise later that evening. That was last Fri. Then Sat was down the coast to San Diego and Sun was back up the coast again. Yay!! Tomorrow I'm going with a friend to visit a farm out in the country and pick fruit, then to a waterfall. Wow! Waterfalls around here? Fabulous!! I'll try to take pictures :)

I'm growing wheatgrass and spelt grass right now, I sure hope they turn out emerald green & beautiful. I'm also growing TONS of sprouts in jars! Mung, fenugreek, alfalfa, red clover and radish. I haven't used lettuce in my salads all week! Just lots of fresh sprouts with seaweed, tomatoes, persian cucumbers & shredded carrots. Do you know that fenugreek can make you smell better if you eat it? And also make your breasts bigger girls? Hee hee...it's true!! Even Dr. James Duke, famous herbalist, says so. It's one of the ingredients in my Best Breasts Herbal Elixir which will be available soon.

I've also been hard at work on Bikini Site #4, staying up until 2am, eating chocolate & dancing around, but mostly working. Making lots of new herbal elixirs, and making SO much raw food!! Kale chips, flax crackers, raw vegan superfood Chocolate and Danger Mix. I made the Danger Mix for friends, but now I'm eating it, which is so naughty. Omg, it's SO incredible!! Very addictive. It's a special trail mix blend I made up covered in my dark chocolate. I used to call it Bliss Mix. But it's too dangerous, ha!! I've also been making dehydrated Bananas & Fruit Bars. Wow, these treats will make you VERY POPULAR. Be warned :) I made some on a whim, now I'm having to crank them out :) I will try to include a few Recipes on my next Best Beauty Foods Blog! Here it is below. And it looks so innocent. Ha!! Here is my NEW Best Beauty Foods Newsletter with my raw vegan Berry Cheesecake Recipe. It's SO yummy!!

Hi everybody! How was your 4th of July? Mine was fantastic, I wore my USA bikini, went to the beach, watched fireworks with friends, and ate fruit for dinner :) It's been so hot & sunny lately. Gorgeous summer weather! I have a BRAND NEW VIDEO, Weight Loss Secrets on the Road where I share my 3 favorite yummy drinks that are so low cal and high energy! I try to drink them everyday, and I'm so full that I don't snack much anymore. I drink those 3 drinks, then a salad for dinner, and I'm trying to eat fruit for dessert instead of chocolate. Or at least less chocolate, ha! Since it's bikini season. I just wrote an article of Weight Loss Secrets for Bikini Season which I'm trying to follow :)

Please be sure and sign up for my newsletter (upper right corner) because I'm sending one out soon! I'm also writing one for Best Beauty Foods. Our featured person of the month is the Extraordinary Chef BeLive so please check him out! Besides making lots of raw vegan Kale Chips & Crackers & Chocolate and selling Bikinis, I've been busy making brand NEW herbal elixirs which will be available soon. They are a mix of Chinese & Amazon herbs for health, energy, vitality and staying slim. And I just started carrying these amazing Amazon Herb Tinctures for energy & weight loss!!

6/1/2011

Yay!! Summer is here!!! I am still in Mulberry Madness, and making fresh fruit & berry pies like crazy. Summer is perfect for making scrumptious fresh colorful desserts with ripe berries & fruit! So exciting!!!!!!

5/9/2011

Hi Everybody! Brand NEW VIDEO here, Pinecone Juggling! And NEW Pictures here! I also have a brand NEW Facebook Page for the Bikini sites, please join as a friend for diet & exercise tips, discounts, secret sales and more.

Do you know that it's Mulberry season? Yay!!! I LOVE mulberries. You can look for fresh ones, white or purple at your local farmers market, health food store, or middle eastern market. You can watch my Mulberry Video here and learn more about this amazing & sweet berry! Mulberries grow really well here in southern California, and it's a big shame there aren't more trees around. There should be mulberry trees everywhere!! And cherimoyas, figs, white sapotes, black sapotes, and guavas....lets have a fruit paradise!!! They all grow really well here, it's just that they're rare & people don't know how incredible these exotic fruits are!! Have a fun & fruity week everyone :)

4/26/2011

Happy Spring everybody! Brand NEW Pictures here! Yay!! I'm SO glad it's spring. I LOVE cruising up & down the California coast on sunny days. Especially in a convertible! We've had gorgeous sunny weather lately, and I've been going on lots of adventures. Getting lots of fresh jackfruit too! I got some super yummy dried jackfruit last time I went to Little Saigon. It's amazing! Really light sweet & crispy. It tastes like it's been freeze dried? Hmmm, mysterious & soooo tasty. I bought a BUNCH of green superfood powders for my daily breakfast Green Smoothie. Wheatgrass powder, Alfalfa, and Barley Grass. I do 1 TB of each in my smoothie, plus 1/2 TB spirulina & Chlorella, along with a banana, 2 cups of juice or so, and 2 cups of fresh spinach, kale or a mix of both. It's *very* intense with so much powder though, I may have to cut back. Ha! It's SO filling. It fills me up for hours!!!! I've been selling lots of Cute Bikinis, you can read my newest Bikini Newsletter!

I'm also super excited because I'm making some really cool herbal tinctures with special herb formulations for different health conditions, more energy, longevity, etc. Yay!! I'm listening to little baby birds right now, chirping for food. There's a nest right outside the window. Too cute!!!! Please drive carefully and watch for animals. So many babies being born right now, and hyper squirrels & scared oppossum mothers with babies in their pouches trying to cross busy streets :( Animals & birds aren't always as fast as drivers assume....they can't always get out of the way in time. Please watch out for them :)

3/29/2011

Hi everybody! Brand NEW Pictures here! I posted in my Best Beauty Foods Blog my top picks & favorite treats from the Natural Products Expo a couple weeks ago. And Kenny Maxfield is our featured Gardener of the month, read his amazing story & learn what he grows in his terrific Tropical garden!! I've been making so many kale chips & green crackers lately :) I've been giving away a lot to friends! I tried putting a tiny bit of fresh thyme in both and wow, so yummy!! Strong flavor from just a little bit. I've also been making lots of raw vegan dark chocolate, just using palm sugar as the sweetener. So good!! Even my mailman loves it!! :) He said he wants to try my kale chips next. Hooray for kale chips!

3/10/2011

Oh BOY! Soooo excited about the Natural Products Expo this weekend! Yay!!! Ooooh, endless natural food & beauty samples, yummy treats, fun & fabulous friends & dancing!!! Last weekend my friends & I had a totally super time at Chef BeLive's birthday party in downtown LA in the fashion district. So much fun dancing and tons of terrific people!

I've been making tons of Veggie Juice, Kale Chips and CHOCOLATE this week! I've been making raw hard chocolates (2nd pic from left and on far right) and dusted chocolate balls (far left) & I invented some raw vegan Vanilla Coconut Shortbread (3rd pic from left) with almonds & mulberries which turned out so yummy. I meant to make white chocolate, but the coconut flour turned it into shortbread instead :) Really tasty and great texture!! Everyone who has tried them loves them, including a very cute 7 yr old. Am still trying to stay on my Extra Green Diet ( except for all the chocolate taste testing I have to do, Ha!!!!!) and I love it. Am drinking a HUGE cold glass of Veggie Juice w/ fresh Turmeric right now. It's a beautiful red orange color, from the beets, turmeric & carrots. Turns your lips a lovely shade!! Much better than having green lips, which I have every morning from my Green Smoothie, or brown lips from eating chocolate, which I have every night :) Have a super weekend everybody!!

3/2/2011

Happy March everybody! Spring is almost here! Yay!! BRAND NEW PICTURES Here from some Fun Sunny Summer Adventures. I'm loving my new GREEN Diet!!! I have more energy than ever. Whoo Hoo! I'm still having my Green Smoothie packed with dino kale, collards (sometimes spinach too) bee pollen & spirulina, ran out of chlorella :( almost every morning, or for lunch. Then I try to have veggie juice in the afternoon as often as I can, followed by wheatgrass, and a big sprout salad w/ seaweed in nori wraps for dinner. I made SO much veggie juice today, with FRESH Turmeric root! Yum!! I got it at an asian market. Turmeric is SO good for you! And a beautiful orange color inside. I juiced it with beets, carrots, celery, ginger, italian parsley, cilantro, collards, garlic, and a few lemons & apples & a sprig of mint.

Today an adorable 3 yr old girl came to visit, so I made her balloon animals & we bounced on my pink bed & on the exercise ball. Ha!! She loved that. I gave her & her grandpa some Palm Fruit juice and they thought it was super. It's totally YUMMY! Then she gobbled one of my raw chocolate maca balls before we could stop her, but she loved that too! So funny. I'm sure she was pretty hyper afterwards!

I got to go to some really fun events & parties last weekend, with super yummy raw vegan food & fabulous people. I also got to go to my favorite stores in Little Saigon and buy fresh Jackfruit and frozen durian. Bliss!!!!! I am SO in love with Jackfruit :) The stores I went to had huge mountains of cherimoyas. Omg, Fruit Paradise. I'm going to keep up my green diet & workout routine going so I can have endless energy and dance all night for More parties coming up!!. Yay!!! I also bought more raw chocolate making ingredients & will have to make another batch. I like to give a lot away so I don't eat it all myself, ha!!!! It isn't really on my new Green Diet, but it does sneak it's way in a lot. Have a glorious & delicious day everybody!

2/17/2011

Hi everybody! BRAND NEW PICTURES! I've been making a lot of raw superfood chocolate lately, perfecting my recipe :) and I finally got it to stay hard at room temperature. Yay!! Today I helped my friend capture a feral male tomcat & took him to the vet to get him neutered. These poor cats have such a hard life :( living outside, constantly hunting for food and water, hiding from coyotes, trying not to get run over, and staying warm and dry.

A group of feral cats live in the parking lot of my friends building at work, and he's such an angel, he has adopted 5 of them!! They are beautiful and have made great pets. They are so lucky he saved them! The average female cat reaches puberty at 4-12 months and can have up to 3 litters per year. Cats usually live to be 16, so if she starts at 12 months that would be 3 litters per year for 15 years. That's 45 or possibly 46 litters!! A litter is usually 6-9 kittens so the average female could produce around 300 kittens. Spaying & neutering is SO important to help these animals!! There are so many homeless, unwanted or lost cats & dogs in our overcrowded shelters, plus all the feral cats trying to survive in the wild. Have a great weekend everybody, and please be kind to all animals & bugs :)

Hi everybody! Brand NEW SugarCane Juicing Video. Watch as I almost break my juicer as the gears slowly fill up with wood like Sugarcane fiber! Ah, good times. It took 2 strong men with a hammer to take my juicer apart again. Hmmm...Also, NEW (well, never before posted) PICTURES! I'm spending a sunny Saturday editing a bunch of fun pictures taken last spring & summer that I never got around to. Whew! It's so nice to catch up, and really fun to look at them and remember those pretty and exciting Wilderness Adventures.

Well, my new Super GREENS diet is working! I'm so excited. This diet plan is REALLY reducing my cravings for sweets!! I'm eating way less fruit & treats & chocolate, and I have TONS of energy. I feel lighter! Soon I wlll have a six pack. Well, hopefully! My new plan is a big Green Smoothie for breakfast (with spirulina & chlorella & bee pollen) then a few hours later, a light snack, usually Green Veggie Juice & maybe Kale Chips. Then maybe another snack, some light fruit or naughty!!!! Chocolate Bliss Mix (which isn't helping any 6 pack development!). Then several oz wheatgrass juice in the early evening, then about an hour later, a big sprout salad w/ seaweed. Dessert is a Chocolate Chia Sleeper Creeper, more fruit and/or more Bliss Mix & my own Superfood Chocolates. Hmmm...somehow it still sounds like I eat a lot of treats? Ha!! But it's way less than all the sugary fruit (3 boxes of persimmons!!!) that I was eating before. You can learn more in my current Best Beauty Foods Newsletter. I'm still doing two 30 minute workouts per day plus my own sneaky stretching/squats/sit-ups routine that I do at around midnight every night when I should be in bed!! Stay tuned....and stay Green :)

1/19/2011

Happy Full Moon everybody! Wow, I need to stop eating persimmons :) Although I did make a super scrumptious batch of Persimmon, Golden Raisin, Mulberry, Goji Berry Cookies today!! Yum, am very excited to share them with friends. I also made raw chocolate and drizzled it over fresh blackberries, and also trail mix, then set both in the fridge so the chocolate would harden up. Yummy!! I got some ultra super duper sweet pineapples this week too...I just lucked out, they taste like candy! You know that fresh pineapple makes the best face mask ever right? Just rub a piece or two over clean skin and let it sit for 10 -15 min then rinse off and moisturize. I like to use cold pressed oils like olive, coconut, etc. Bromelain, the enzyme in pineapple, dissolves old skin and makes your skin soft & glowy! I absolutely love it. Anyway, I am going to focus on greens...enough of all the sugar & fructose! (Well, except for more pineapples :) I bought a gorgeous glorious emerald green tray of wheatgrass and am juicing that & also having veggie juice. Go Greens!!!

1/1/2011

Hooray!!! Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all had a Super Fun New Year's Eve. I picked and ate about 1 million persimmons all day, then had a fun party with friends, ate yummy durian pudding, danced, and watched Fire Spinning and Hula Hooping by a crackling campfire beneath the stars and magical glowing Bliss Lights. I had a spectacular time over Christmas with my family and friends in Seattle too! Snuggling by the fire, reading, going on big walks with my dad, feeding raccoons & other wildlife, shopping for gorgeous organic greens & fun food, and driving downtown to look at the pretty lights. Plus exercising even more than usual everyday to make up for the extra chocolate I ate. Ha!! I made my parents fruit smoothies & Green Smoothies every day while I was there, and they loved them so much, they bought a Vitamix blender so they can make them everyday! Yay! They love green smoothies now, and make them for guests!

That's one of my New Year's resolutions, to have a green smoothie everyday, plus wheatgrass juice. And to keep eating lots of seaweed and sprouts everyday, and veggie juice. And to make more natural beauty products! I made a super duper Winter Skin Cream while I was in Seattle, from Shea butter, Coconut Oil, Honey, and a whole bunch of other amazing ingredients, and I absolutely Love it. Way to start the New Year....well moisturized, ha!! I just updated my Art page, with lots more pictures of the Jewelry I made in highschool. I used to roll each clay bead by hand and make a brand NEW necklace every night to wear to school the next day!! Ahhh, sweet beaded obsession....Ha!

Hi everybody! Whoo Hoo!! 2 NEW Fruit Videos Up!! I've been working on websites, running a lot, and am continuing on with my quest to eat lots of sprouts & seaweed since they are SO good for you. Will I turn into a Mermaid if I eat enough seaweed? Maybe!! I've been growing really nice fenugreek sprouts, plus sprouting a mix of alfalfa, red clover & broccoli that I really like. I also buy onion sprouts & broccoli sprouts too. I love the taste of onion sprouts!! I soak hijiki & wakame (dried seaweed) about 20 minutes before I'm ready to eat, then toss it in the salad. Dried dulse is my absolute favorite sea vegetable, and I love to cut up dried pieces of that & toss it in too. My favorite dressing is tahini, ginger, garlic, lemon, sea salt all blended up. Sometimes I'll make nori wraps with my salad (just roll up some salad in a dried nori sheet) Last week I got to have 3 incredible raw vegan dinners with lovely girlfriends. We had big sprout salads, Kale Chips, and made an amazing blended persimmon pudding for Dessert, with raw cacao, cinnamon, banana, chia, fuyu & hachiya persimmons. WOW! We giggled, sang & danced all around the kitchen, and went to the farmers market the next day. I got a gorgeous emerald green tray of wheatgrass!! Ooooh, it's almost too pretty to juice! :)

I had a Sunny Fun glorious weekend! A friend and I drove up to Valencia, then drove out to the coast to Ventura, past all the citrus orchards and nurseries. It was such a gorgeous sunny breezy day, with all the leaves changing colors! Then we drove down the coast and though Malibu. It was a spectacular pink & orange sunset! I got home and ate a really sweet pineapple for dinner :) Later that night another friend took me to an really cool Art Party at a gallery in downtown LA, near the garment district. Great outfits, interesting people, and beautiful paintings! We got home late and ate durian pudding for dessert. Yum! It was amazing. The next day I went to a farmers market to get more kale for kale chips, and went on a couple different hikes by the beach, it was sooo warm out. I've seen dolphins swimming close to shore for the past 3 days! So beautiful! Sometimes a seal will pop its head out to peek at the dolphins as they go by. Cute!!!

Welcome to my NEWLY designed site and brand NEW Blog, whoo hoo!!! I've been wanted to redesign this site for YEARS! When I first created this website (10 or more?? years ago!!) I wrote my own HTML code and edited it in notepad. I've since learned that this is a very prehistoric (and lame!) way of web designing. So I've been super busy in the last few months. I taught myself Dreamweaver so I could redo this site, create another Bikini site, BikiniSweetie, and make my new Health & Beauty site, Best Beauty Foods. Hooray!! I'm so happy they are all done now. It's been soooo many hours staring at a computer screen. Now I get to return to the fun stuff, which is filming & editing new videos, taking pictures, making raw vegan recipes, and going on adventures!! Yay!! I have 2 brand NEW fruit videos up.

I update the Best Beauty Foods Blog frequently with health related type stuff, so you can always check there too. I've been working out a lot, trying to burn extra calories before I go home for Christmas and have to fend off the piles of chocolate at my parents house. Ha!! So I've been eating tons of seaweed, sprouts, green smoothies, green juices, and exercising more. I've been eating way less dessert, which is totally miraculous. I've temporarily given up eating large (ahem...blush!!) amounts of raw chocolate & date & nut balls at night for my new favorite Chocolate Chia Sleeper Creeper. Super light, absolutely delicious, so healthy and filling!! Anyway, hope you like the new site, please check back here often for new posts and become my friend on Facebook! I post there almost everyday. You can also follow me on Twitter! Want to read older blog posts? You can peruse my past adventures in my online journal here!
