Hawaii becomes the first US state to ban plastic bags
Single-use plastic bags will no longer be distributed in Hawaii after the city of Honolulu passed a bill to ban their use on Oahu. The Mayor signed the bill on 11th May and thus made Hawaii the first state in the United States to completely ban the use of single-use plastic bags.

Raw Fig Newtons
It doesn’t get much more simple than this:
Process about 1 c of almonds and set aside.
Process 1 1/2 c dried figs with juice from one lemon and a dash or two of cinnamon.
Spread this mixture on a plate and form into one or two long, thick rectangles.
Freeze for 10 minutes or so, cut into squares or whatever shape you’d like, and freeze again until you’re ready to eat.
Takes me right back to the days of shuffling through my parent’s cupboard for that late night snack!
MM These raw fig newtons look oh so tasty.

I’ve spent the past few days hating myself for cutting my hair and hating the hairdresser who of course cut it a few inches shorter than I wanted. I’ve worn my hair up everyday and couldn’t bring myself to look in the mirror.Then yesterday I realized something: that it didn’t matter. I have always placed so much importance on how I look whenever I venture out of my house. Whether it was my hair or what I was wearing, I always had to make sure I looked good before going anywhere. Even while doing this, I always thought about how it didn’t matter how I looked to other people. I wasn’t out to impress anyone, but subconsciously, it did matter. I now realize that I placed so much importance on looks, but didn’t even realize it. Why should I spend so much time worrying about how I look to other people. I could be doing so much more with that time, like reading or caring about other things that are actually important in life.
Amazing how true it is that you learn so much from bad experiences.
On a lighter note I am going to try to go raw. I keep using the excuse that its vegan to eat junk food. I used to have more energy when I was eating really well and i’m hoping going raw will help me out. Plus its just so amazing for you.
RAWFOOD BLOGS COME AT ME
I can’t lie. Grocery shopping is one of my favorite activities.
SAME.
I love it!
I can spend an hour in the supermarket and still only walk out with 3 things
:D I would much rather shop for food and kitchen supplies than shop for clothes
