Cleanse, Day 14

Last night was our third and final meeting with our cleansing group. I was glad to see the group once again and hear that everyone was so excited about their experiences this past couple weeks. This program has been absolutely amazing. I’ve read about many cleanses in books, but I would highly recommend going through […]

Cleanse, Day 13

Slept fairly well last night, save a 15 minute tummy ache, although I haven’t been remembering my dreams at all lately. I woke this morning to the lovely sound of rain on the rooftop - one of my absolute most cherished Portland sounds. Made me even more excited about our upcoming days at the coast […]

Cleanse, Day 12

My friends, fasting is not as difficult as I had imagined! I say this after only one of three days, but so far, so good. Overall, I was mostly satisfied (save a couple tummy growls) drinking seven glasses of the Master Cleanse drink - out of a recommended 6-12. The mix is easy enough (read […]

Cleanse, Day 11

Yesterday was a bustling day of activity and prep for the week ahead. We got our computers set up in the studio space with air conditioning (just in case it is a hot one), ejoyed a lovely art sale with work by Trish Grantham, Michael Paulus, Briana Linden and Clara Seasholtz - all inspiring and […]

Success: First Raw Taco Night with Family

On a recent visit with the family, our traditional chicken taco night cropped up. As a vegetarian, I usually made it through Taco night with black beans. I was pretty sure I could figure it out raw as well; I decided to attempt to eat both raw and organic while largely joining in with the […]

Cleanse, Day 10

Based on how I felt yesterday, I can imagine that I was really cleansing myself of toxins! Given an overall low body and mind feeling, I basically took the day to relax, walk around, watch a matinee. Tomorrow begins a 3-day Master Cleanse (along with the usual drinks and excercises). I am really looking forward […]

Cleanse, Day 8

Wow, did today ever start out with a bang! As an introduction to Phase 2 of the cleanse, we began with a dose of Liver Flush drink, consisting largely of oil and garlic. Followed that up 15 minutes later with Toxin Remover, which can be likened to sawdust mixed into apple juice and water. It […]

Cleanse, Day 7

Today is the last day of Phase 1 of our cleanse. Last night, we learned more about Phase 2, which includes 3 days of all raw foods (salads, fruits, vegetables only), 3 days of liquids only, enemas and new exercises. Besides the raw foods, much of this will be new to me. However, none of […]

Cleanse, Day 6

Yesterday turned out to be a day concerned largely with taking care of ourselves (groceries, laundry, etc), with some Needmore thrown in and a fun Neighbormates meet up in the evening. I’ve come to adore New Seasons, where shopping organic and live is a breeze. And, everyone is so friendly, especially at the NE store. […]

Cleanse, Day 5

In thinking of the last day, I can only think it existed to encourage me to let go of plans and go with the course of the day. From meetings starting late to our Organics to You delivery not showing up at all, nothing quite went according to the plan in my head. The positive […]
