Juicy January – Healthful Habits & Reviews (part II)
The Juicing Joy Continues… Since my last post was so epic and primarily focused upon review of one item, I felt it most appropriate to create a second post to close out “Juicy January” with a few tasty ideas and a second review of another piece of culinary equipment with which I have been working diligently this past month: Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer. As mentioned in my previous entry, I had been desperately yearning to try out this amazing piece of equipment since having had it brought to my...
Read MoreFor Love of Lemons (& Limes)
With my Glass Dharma drinking straw giveaway nearly at its end and Summer Solstice a mere six days away, this last week of Spring seems like an appropriate time for me to exalt citrus. Yes, it’s true that I love citrus all of the time.

Read MoreProduct Review & Recipe: Lev’s Green Tea Kombucha
I have been a kombucha enthusiast for quite some time, and make a point of tasting just about any I encounter along the way (with the exception of those bottled in plastic). After my last semi-extended fasting adventure (2 days water, 2 days dry), I made the decision to transition slowly back into caloric intake with kombucha, organic juices, and organic fresh fruit only.
