Let the raw food revolution begin.
Monday, January 2, 2012
In 2012, I am making an attempt to go completely raw by the close of the year. In the process I am going to teach myself to prepare raw food dishes and mix great juices and shakes. Here I go. January 2, 2012 Breakfast starts with a morning citrus drink. Ingredients: Five oranges, one pink grapefruit, 25-30 red & green grapes, two medium size pieces of ginger. One scoop of Sun Warrior vegan protein, vanilla flavor. I find that the grapes add a sweet balance to the tartness of the citrus. The ginger adds a spiciness, plus I like ginger. Juiced the fruit and blended the scoop of vegan protein....
Starting To Take Shape
Sunday, August 7, 2011
So last month I set this strict schedule about how I was going to approach my yoga practice. The Virgo in me loves order and control. Relaxation and letting go haven’t always been my strong points. I mapped out days, times and teachers. That schedule has since been thrown out the window. I stuck to it probably a week, week and a half. The schedule was thrown out partially because of work life, partially because of social life. However regardless of having stuff to do, last month I saw the studio at least twice a week and at home practice at least once a week. Through just going to class either...
From The Mat To The Kitchen
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
So as I’ve started to diversify and deepen my yoga practice, by doing Bikram and Ashtanga, I’ve started to reevaluate my eating habits. Instead of candy bars for quick snacks I mixed up some trial mix from the bulk food station at the grocery store. The last two weeks I cut out meat and chicken and stuck to seafood as it relates to animal product consumption. Never been a fan of salads but this week I broke out some spinach, peppers, carrots, and tomatoes. Vegetables were a little tart for my taste so I chopped up a nectarine to add some sweetness. For dressing a little balsamic vinaigrette. But...
slacked off last week
Friday, July 1, 2011
Slacked off last week. While traveling I didn’t do any yoga. I had the time, had the space, could have found an online class to attend. But no, I chillaxed for five days. In an effort to get back on track I’ve carved out a new yoga regimen for July. Monday- Bikram Yoga Tuesday- Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga Wednesday- Rest Day Thursday- Rest Day Friday- Bikram Yoga Saturday- Rest Day Sunday- Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga (workshop) (As of Friday July 1st, I went to Bikram class. Hoping to keep this schedule going consistently. Maybe I will take away one of the rest days.) © Rashida...

Growing Up Unscented
Growing Up Unscented By Rashida Bartley In my mom’s house perfumed items were outlawed. She said the fragrances bothered her. How the scented items agitated her I don’t know. She didn’t have allergies or at least she didn’t have allergies that were apparent to me. To this day, I still don’t I believe her explanation. In her closet she always had a secret stash of eau de toilettes from Estée Lauder and Lancôme. It wasn’t so much that I wanted to smell fragrant- it... Read More
