This morning is Thursday and I am just trying to get back into the groove of things. S-l-o-w-l-y! I am trying my best anyway. The first day back at work is always the hardest. I went to the grocery store last night to pick up my food for today and tomorrow and decided to just go ahead and make my food for the weekend as well just so that I don't have to worry about it. This is going to be quite the blog today so sit back and relax. I have a lot to tell you about my trip and I would like to go ahead and do two reviews on two totally different items! First though....My beloved oats! On my trip I had a better breakfast than I do normally here! I was so prepared. I brought with me my usual. Organic oats, chia, wheat bran and egg whites (well I didnt bring those on the plane but bought them when I got into town). I had one table spoon of peanut butter and some fresh organic cherries. It was Divine! So I am doing a repeat this morning as well! I also had a great wheat grass shot this morning to get me going as well! I am thinking that wheat grass is going to be a daily part of my day. Amazing grass is a great company if you are looking for some really good wheat grass. I love how you can take it on the go too! I even got my sister hooked! Everyday we would go and get wheat grass shots while we were shopping and right before we left I took her to the health food store to pick up her very own can of wheat grass form Amazing grass. It is truely amazing!
My first review is on something that I didnt expect to be so cool! I was on-line and looking around at organic fair trade clothing and I just stubbled across this site!

Did you know that 25% of the world's insecticides and 10% of pesticides are used in the production of cotton? That's a lot. These chemicals infiltrate the food chain, irritate our skin and degrade the environment. By going organic you are making a commitment to a cleaner, healthier world.I just love this shirt. It is SO comfy and is the perfect fit. I got the shirt almost as soon as I got the reply that it was on it's way. Way to go! Seriously, if you are looking for some clothing that you can feel good about this is the shop for you. BE different, speak your mind and why not with a organic, fair trade shirt that says it all for you. I give this website a 10!!! Thanks so very much Duncan you were great to send this my way. I am wearing my shirt proudly!
For lunch it is going to be a tuna salad with a handful of raw almonds. Yum! I am going nutty these days for sure. I put them away from my reach though so that I couldn't munch on them all day.
I made my tuna salad with celery and veganese! I love that stuff, you get the creamy taste without the dairy! I am trying my very best to cut out all dairy if at all possible. The only thing that is holding me back is my greek yogurt or fat free cottage cheese. I am getting closer to a dairy free life style though. If the greek yogurt wasnt buy one get one free I would have a completely dairy free diet this week. Next week...It's on! So I also decided that I would CHALLENGE myself this week and next week. I want two full weeks of a completely raw dinner. I am going to start out with having dinner raw and then totally go raw after for a while. Summer time it is just so very easy to do it because it is so hot and I dont feel like having hot food. I have already made a completely raw dinner for the week and it came out amazing! I am going to try out the raw oatmeal after these two weeks are over and make a huge batch of ceviche (my fav) for my salads for lunch. This is what my dinner will be for the rest of this week. Yum!I chopped up two full blocks of tofu, two cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell peppers, red onion and some cilantro. Let this all hang out together and what you get is a pretty amazing stir-fry like dish!
Now, tell me this doesn't look good. This is what "my food for the week" looks like. I usually make a huge batch of something like this and eat it for dinner all week. This is why I like being a vegetarian, you dont have to worry so much about the tofu going bad! This is fantastic and completely raw. I will change it up from day to day. Sometime having it with a bed of spinach or some Quinoa. This week though I will have it with a side of fresh raw beets soaked in balsamic vinegar, topped with fresh avocado and soy beans. I love the way the purple goes with the green. So pretty! 
So there you have it. I am set. This is not the a real picture (I found on on-line) but you get the idea. It is so hard to take pictures of everything!!! I wish that I had a I-phone. That would be awesome. This dinner will fill me up and give me the vitamins that I need. The thing with eating raw though is that you really need to chew your food well. Last night I had the raw beets and my stomach felt like it was working over time to digest it. I will be sure to have less tonight and chew very well. I love beets so very much. For my snack tonight it will be either some fresh watermelon and strawberries or some greek yogurt or both depending on how I feel!On to review number two! I was so happy to of gotten this because it was perfect for my trip.

sent me over a sample set of their amazing organic face products. I used them all during my trip and I have got to say, I am in love.
Doctor Edward Jonas Domanskis a practicing plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California has worked on the research and development of the Organoderm Skin Care products for over ten years.
Not only was the product line formulated with naturally bio-active and organic ingredients with the consumer’s skin health top priority, but the packaging was developed with recyclable components with our own Free Consumer Recycling Program on this web site. The absence of excessive and deceptive paper cartons and inserts is to raise awareness through conscious consumption. This not only helps protect our environment with less trees destroyed, it raises planet conservation responsibility in the minds of all consumers to reduce waste and diminish our landfills.
Organoderm products are in larger sized offerings than the traditional skin care products now on the market to reduce our carbon footprint with less containers in the environment and offer more quality product at an overall less expensive price per ounce to the consumer without impacting efficacy. The Younger Eye Gel, Green Energy Serum and Environmental Protection Day Lotion are twice the size of higher end brands.
Additionally, ingredients selected are harvested in a manner to protect our delicate eco-system, to preserve and sustain natural botanical sources and the surrounding fawn and flora. As a doctor, the amount of harmful chemicals used in skin care was a driving force to present to consumers a line that was composed of the safest and highest nutritional ingredients for skins of all ages and conditions.
Organoderm is the first plastic surgeon developed and recommended product group to contain certified organic USDA products and natural bio-active/certified ingredient formulations.
All products certified by the Circle of Green are identified as earth/environment/skin friendly.Organoderm also contributes a percentage of all products to Breast Cancer Research in memory of Dr. Domanskis’ grandmother who died from breast cancer and in support of the fight his mother-in-law is now waging against the disease.
I absolutely love these products. If you are in the market for a really really great regiment than this is the site for you. Try them out and you will never go back. This is some of the items that I got!
The Nutrient Night Cream, Olive Cucumber and Watercress Light Moisturizer, Younger Eye Gel, Environmental Protection Day Lotion SPF 30+, Olive Cucumber and Watercress Fresh Foaming Cleanser and a few others. All in a cute bag with the perfect size so that I could take it on my trip. This was like going to a spa and getting the full treatment. I am giving them 4 stars!!! Thanks Pam so much your the best and I am going to be a customer from here on out! So there you have it! My two reviews and some more of my meals! Stay tuned in because I will have a review for Garlic gold products and Barney Butter (I have been waiting on this one for ever!!!). I am so happy that I got in these two products and when I try them (more than likely tonight or tomorrow) I will be reviewing them for you. I just love my blog and getting new things to try and then reviewing them on here. So far I have gotten tons of great products that I know I will be addicted too! In the mean time. Sit back relax and lets welcome this weekend. I sure hope the weather is nice, I am ready to go to the pool! See ya!
