&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I love hot sauces LOVE hot sauces. They kick up the flavour in bland dishes in a flash and help keep your internal heat up during the winter. I've decided to dedicate my next few posting to raw vegan sauces and condiments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chipotle Sauce&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The smoky flavour of this sauce goes great with bean salads, black beans, over rice, or over a raw chop salad with avocado and peppers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3 dried chipotle peppers (soaked 20 minutes or longer)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2 cloves of garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1/2 a small white onion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1 medium tomato (de seeded)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1 medium tomatillo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3 sun dried tomatoes (soaked)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1tsp chili spice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1 small jalapeno top sliced off and de seeded&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cut tops off soaked chipotle pepper slice them open and remove the seeds. Put all ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This sauce is best after it has been allowed to marinate for a few hours in the fridge. *Note: It is important to remove seeds from your tomatoes so your sauce isn't too watery/runny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Easy Peasy Raw Vegan Hot Sauce&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1/4C water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1/4 C Apple Cider Vinegar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;6 tsps of cayenne powder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1 medium clove of garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mix all in a blender until smooth - store in old hot sauce bottles or something that will drizzle. The longer this sauce sits the hotter it gets so experiment with the amount of cayenne you use until you have the right amount of heat for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Raw Piri Piri Sauce&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;6 large red or green chillies with seeds removed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3 large cloves of garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2 tsp of paprika&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1/2 a fresh squeezed lemon or lime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;(juice only)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;4T of olive oil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Blend until smooth (you may need to add a bit more olive oil to get the right consistency - should be thick not too runny).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Raw Vegan Chili Sauce&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;6 jalapeno peppers, stemmed and de-seeded&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1/4C of Apple Cider Vinegar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;3T of Maple Syrup or Agave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;4 large garlic cloves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;1/2T of Pink Sea Salt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;6T of water (may need a little more or less depending on how juicy your peppers are)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Blend the heck out of it until perfectly smooth. Stores in a bottle in the fridge for up to 3 weeks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It has been brrrr here lately. I've been craving hot soups, stews, teas anything warm to heat me up. I'm trying to be more mindful about maintaining a high raw diet (even in the cold) - so right now spicy dishes especially curries are a favourite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Basic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Raw&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Curry Sauce&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 large zucchinis (peeled)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/4c of soaked cashews&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1t of maple syrup&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3-4T of curry paste (I like green but go with whatever you like)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3T of coconut oil &amp;nbsp;(melt over v low heat - will melt at body temp)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toss all in a vitamix or high speed blender pulse until well mixed. Serve over rice, lightly steamed veggies (cauliflower and broccoli is really good or quinoa and raisins for a warming high raw meal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A little more heat Raw Curry Sauce&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 clove garlic minced&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 large zucchinis (peeled)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1c of Coconut Milk (not the canned kind - the Milk kind) - - &lt;i&gt;or almond milk if you can't find coconut - * if you use almond throw in a couple of tablespoons of shredded coconut&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2T of yellow curry paste or powder (I prefer the paste)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2T of Avocado or Olive Oil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/4 small spanish onion chopped&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2C of soaked cashews&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2t of cayenne (1/4 if you don't like things too spicy)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1t maple syrup&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;4T of white wine (fine without - amazing with)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Same as above give it all a good blending until smooth in a high speed blender&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tomato Raw Curry Sauce&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;2T of Olive Oil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 Medium onion chopped&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;small thumb of ginger peeled&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 garlic cloves chopped&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2t of tumeric&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1t of ground cumin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1t of yellow curry powder (to taste)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 medium tomatoes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2t of maple syrup&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 small green chilli&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 a lemon squeezed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blend all together until very well until smooth in a high speed blender. This is great over cooked potatoes and raw peas or with rice. This would probably be really tasty over zucchini pasta but, I haven't tried it yet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Raw Thai Red Curry&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 red chilies (sliced in half tops off)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3 green onions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 red pepper&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;zest of one lime&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;thumb of ginger&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 cloves garlic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 piece of fresh coconut meat (if you have it - shredded is okay if you don't about 3T)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1tsp of fresh ground pepper&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 a lime juice (squeeze)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1T of Olive Oil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 Cup of Coconut Milk&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blend blend blend!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I've taken a traditional Buddhist veggie dish that is commonly served on New Year's day and modified it so it is high raw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;1C fresh mushrooms sliced or whole (straw mushrooms are great in this)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;small can of bamboo shoots (drained)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;small can of water chesnuts (drained)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 large carrots shredded&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1c green cabbage shredded&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 cup fresh peas (uncooked)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 knob of ginger&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;4T Braggs Liquid Amenos&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2T Maple Syrup&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3T Apple Cider Vinegar&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3T sesame oil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1T Dark Miso Paste&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1clove garlic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mince ginger and garlic and mix with maple syrup, plum vinegar sesame oil, liquid amenos &amp;amp; miso paste. &amp;nbsp;Toss all veggies mix well and let marinate for at least 2 hours. Serve over Rice or noodles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Certain feelings about life path, direction and the need to tell people where you are coming from and what you are thinking come to the surface with this moon. Ambition, creativity and emotions are very connected right now listen to your gut feelings about the direction your life should be going in. If you are unhappy with the path you are on think carefully and take action now is the time to put your plans into action. Try to let things develop naturally and not to rush headlong into action. Plan, plan then plan some more then act. Enjoy the place you are in now knowing you are seeding new ideas by taking small decisive actions daily to reach your new goals. &lt;br /&gt;

A fresh holiday juice punch recipe... I make it every year and it is a big hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;6C fresh (fresh is important) squeezed orange juice&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2C fresh (again fresh) pineapple juice&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1C Coconut Water&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3C (fresh am I being clear lol? fresh fresh) squeezed pomegranate juice (use a metal press)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1C frozen cranberries&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2C Ginger water (slice a large knot of fresh ginger and pour 2 cups boiling water over - let cool in fridge for about and hour or longer)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3C club soda (or not fine w/o)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Serve in a large punch bowl use frozen cranberries as ice cubes (and because they look pretty). Good and good for you chock full on enzymes to help you digest holiday treats better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Most of us know that originally Musk was collected from killing and extracting oils from the scent glands of a special kind of deer (now endangered)... BUT did you know that artificial Musk is just as unkind to the planet (not to mention unhealthy for humans because of it's chemical charactaristics?)....&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A few facts you may not have been aware of&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;i style="font-style: italic; line-height: 17px;"&gt;Synthetic musks, are widely used in perfumes, deodorants, and detergents -- these musks have been linked to cancer. They can bioaccumulate, or store themselves in the body, and have been found in breast milk, which means that nursing infants ingest them. Research indicates that these musks don't biodegrade; they've been found polluting watersheds and the plants and animals that live there. Another worrisome class of chemicals, phthalates, are often used in fragrance because they allow the smell to last longer. They have been linked to changes in the reproductive and endocrine systems as well as in the liver, kidneys, and adrenal glands.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;i style="font-style: italic; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br style="line-height: 17px;" /&gt;The FDA has banned only a handful of ingredients in personal-care products -- none of them related to scent. The fragrance industry essentially regulates itself, deciding which chemicals it considers hazardous. Some manufacturers have voluntarily stopped using phthalates (which are the main component in synthetic musk), but many others continue to use them; in 2002 the EWG tested 72 personal-care products and found phthalates in 75 percent. Certain companies have dropped some synthetic musks, but still widely use others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br style="line-height: 17px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="line-height: 17px;" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wholeliving.com/133573/replacing-your-artificial-fragrances" style="color: #0068cf; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.wholeliving.com/133573/replacing-your-artificial-fragrances&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;AND ALSO ( taken from a paper produced by the WWF on synthetic Musk)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; line-height: 17px;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;Synthetic musk fragrances are very widespread in the home. They are used as low cost fragrances in soaps, perfumes, air fresheners, detergents, fabric softeners and other household cleaning products. Many of these products are ultimately disposed of to the sewers. As such, a large proportion will end up at sewage works and pass from there to rivers and ultimately the seas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

However, we do know that synthetic musk fragrances are persistent and that they bioaccumulate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Synthetic musk fragrances have been found in human body fat, with nitro-musks found more in women than men. Polycyclic musks are also present in human fats. Some synthetic musks get passed to breast-feeding babies in breast milk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 10.0px Times; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;As a result of these type of levels being found in human beings, the European Scientific Committee on Cosmetics has concluded that human exposure to musk xylene and musk ketone should be reduced.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 10.0px Times; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 13.0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Voluntary reduction measures should be agreed in advance of such a ban to reduce as quickly as possible the environmental exposure of both humans and wildlife to this class of hazardous substances.&amp;nbsp;"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9227149-1324430917915982813?l=berrybluetoes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~4/pETiMfNL68E" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/feeds/1324430917915982813/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9227149&amp;postID=1324430917915982813&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/1324430917915982813?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/1324430917915982813?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~3/pETiMfNL68E/why-you-shouldnt-wear-musk-synthetic-or.html" title="Why you shouldn't wear Musk synthetic or otherwise..." /><author><name>Berry Blue Toes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18088889309595396156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="29" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJsYoFidnqU/Tk6jr_eiw8I/AAAAAAAABPg/z9cVz7x69F0/s220/me2.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-huNdvqIyRtg/Tta8RNBiHPI/AAAAAAAABik/L3usCCCShsU/s72-c/Picture+5.png" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-you-shouldnt-wear-musk-synthetic-or.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUcDR3szfyp7ImA9WhRRFUw.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9227149.post-2799242780905492048</id><published>2011-11-28T13:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-28T13:51:16.587-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-11-28T13:51:16.587-08:00</app:edited><title>The Truth About Perfume</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://www.dare2mag.com/beauty/2011/the-truth-about-perfume/#.TtQCSwY2KkM.blogger"&gt;The Truth About Perfume&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9227149-2799242780905492048?l=berrybluetoes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~4/EzWpctBvlBk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/feeds/2799242780905492048/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9227149&amp;postID=2799242780905492048&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/2799242780905492048?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/2799242780905492048?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~3/EzWpctBvlBk/truth-about-perfume.html" title="The Truth About Perfume" /><author><name>Berry Blue Toes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18088889309595396156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="29" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJsYoFidnqU/Tk6jr_eiw8I/AAAAAAAABPg/z9cVz7x69F0/s220/me2.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/2011/11/truth-about-perfume.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEMHQH45eip7ImA9WhRRFEs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9227149.post-7314895374314960661</id><published>2011-11-27T22:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-27T22:40:31.022-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-11-27T22:40:31.022-08:00</app:edited><title>Berry Blue Toes Gets a Shout Out...</title><content type="html">&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;A local family is doing The Energy Diet Challenge which is being sponsored by Canadian Geographic.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;For years I've been concerned about what I'm putting in my body and on my body with one exception my makeup. I try to make sure I'm buying cosmetics that are not tested on animals but, I have to admit when it comes to my lipsticks/foundation/shadows et all that stuff - aside from the no testing or containing animal products rule I use what works best and let the chemicals slide - until recently. In the past few months I've become hooked on mineral makeup. Aside from being all natural (read the labels not all the mineral makeups in stores are pure - try to find brands carried by health food stores rather than ones produced by large cosmetics companies). If you are good with colour and want to try your hand at making your own cosmetics it is surprisingly easy and inexpensive.There are several resources online to get you started... If you want to buy good mineral makeups that are ready to use again several sources on line.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Why you might like it…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;It's an especially good choice for those with sensitive or reactive skin since it usually contains fewer additives. Mineral makeup is also waterproof and photo-stable (meaning it won’t degrade because of sun exposure), offers a smooth finish, absorbs excess oil, and is economical because a little goes a long way. Another benefit: Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have anti-inflammatory properties and can have a calming and soothing effect on skin, especially in mild to moderate cases of acne, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;…and why you might not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mineral makeup isn’t designed to conceal skin conditions or issues such as vitiligo, dark pigmentation, bruising or birthmarks. If you tend towards naturally dry skin - use a cream or oil base before applying foundation powders and blushers. Minerals tend to absorb excess oils which can leave your skin looking flaky or dry if applied alone. In the Yukon because of our long dry winters this can be especially problematic. Remember to drink lots of fluids and hydrate your skin with good quality oils, lotions and creams. Good makeup looks best on a great canvas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9227149-6104756725493849456?l=berrybluetoes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~4/5YLbgY8BUFo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/feeds/6104756725493849456/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9227149&amp;postID=6104756725493849456&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/6104756725493849456?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/6104756725493849456?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~3/5YLbgY8BUFo/mineral-make-up-greener-choice.html" title="Mineral Make Up - The Greener Choice" /><author><name>Berry Blue Toes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18088889309595396156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="29" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJsYoFidnqU/Tk6jr_eiw8I/AAAAAAAABPg/z9cVz7x69F0/s220/me2.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NntCmEX41GU/TtAF8ZZxofI/AAAAAAAABh0/M1R5teECv7A/s72-c/min.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/2011/11/mineral-make-up-greener-choice.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C0QNR3g6fip7ImA9WhRREEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9227149.post-5876311046822417158</id><published>2011-11-23T12:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-23T12:49:56.616-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-11-23T12:49:56.616-08:00</app:edited><title>Bad Blogger...</title><content type="html">&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bsYEWJxudZs/Ts1cR03k9vI/AAAAAAAABhc/U_fnXrXOr0w/s1600/BBO_017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="307" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bsYEWJxudZs/Ts1cR03k9vI/AAAAAAAABhc/U_fnXrXOr0w/s320/BBO_017.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm in the middle of Holiday season crazy. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. My natural body care products have taken off - which is great but, not leaving me a lot of time for blogging at the moment. I'm also in the process of writing a raw foods no cookbook which I hope to have completed in the new year. ALSO coming soon --- I'm launching a line of all natural mineral based makeups which I'll talk about here as well.... More on juicing, food and good for you holiday goodies coming soon... Check last year for my 12 Days of RAW cookies posts!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9227149-5876311046822417158?l=berrybluetoes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~4/9mtERa4M1bo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/feeds/5876311046822417158/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9227149&amp;postID=5876311046822417158&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/5876311046822417158?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9227149/posts/default/5876311046822417158?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/sdbNa/~3/9mtERa4M1bo/bad-blogger.html" title="Bad Blogger..." /><author><name>Berry Blue Toes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18088889309595396156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="29" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJsYoFidnqU/Tk6jr_eiw8I/AAAAAAAABPg/z9cVz7x69F0/s220/me2.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bsYEWJxudZs/Ts1cR03k9vI/AAAAAAAABhc/U_fnXrXOr0w/s72-c/BBO_017.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://berrybluetoes.blogspot.com/2011/11/bad-blogger.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;Ck8NSX05eCp7ImA9WhRWEkU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9227149.post-5852899088369857497</id><published>2011-10-17T21:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T13:34:58.320-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-12-30T13:34:58.320-08:00</app:edited><title>Natural from Toe to Head - No Poo Shampoo</title><content type="html">&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Making homemade shampoo isn't a difficult as you might think. I've included an easy recipe. You can play around with different oils, butters and essential oils until you find a blend that works for you. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Homemade No Poo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3 oz liquid castile soap&lt;br /&gt;
1/2tsp Shea Butter (or Coconut)&lt;br /&gt;
1/2tsp Avocado or Olive Oil&lt;br /&gt;
2T of Glycerine (you can find this at most drug stores - helps to thicken your no poo)&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 Cup Cold Chamomile Tea&lt;br /&gt;
Essential Oil if you would like it scented&lt;br /&gt;
Heat All until Butter is melted stir well add essential oils store in bottle.&lt;br /&gt;
Will keep up to a month in the fridge. Shake before each use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ps this is not the recipe I use to make the No Poo I sell online and locally. It will not lather as well. &lt;br /&gt;

This year the full moon in October falls under the fire sign of Aries. This full moon is full of energy. Make demands, be brave but, beware hot tempers are also to be expected this week. Think things through before stating your case. Think about things you may have been hanging on to since last spring - this is a time to begin letting go of anything that is holding you back. If you don't start letting go and looking towards the future you will find this week may feel a bit like a pressure cooker. It is advised Not to start any new project within the 24 hours of the 
full moon, but rather use that day for mundane tasks, while enjoying an 
acute sense of meditation. &amp;nbsp;Full Moons are times for reflection.&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;I've been busy tweaking some of my favourite natural body care recipes, having them tested by friends and coworkers and getting ready to hit the fall craft shows ... A photo of some of the products we will be selling. So far feedback has been great. I'll be starting an etsy store soon and will post a link. Having so much fun :) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Causes of Puffy Eyes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Common causes of Puffy eyes can include 
fluid retention, stress, allergies, and hormone changes. Eyes swell after crying for instance because crying causes extra blood to flow around the eye 
sockets which = swelling. Tiredness is another regular cause for
 puffy eyes. This can happen because there is too much sodium in a diet 
causing water retention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Precautions... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Report eye redness that doesn’t go away, itching or burning eyes, visual
 disturbances, and unusual drainage or discharge from the eyes to your 
health care professional.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not introduce any drops or foreign substances into your eyes without professional supervision.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid
 putting concentrated substances such as essential oils around your 
eyes. These can cause burning, stinging, redness and watering.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Puffy Eyes Treatments and Home Remedies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Before
 endorsing any new fresh methods for treating your eye puffiness get a 
second opinion from your doctor. If we are looking to treat puffy eyes 
that you are "sure" are not caused by other eye conditions, then you can
 consider trying the options below to rid eye puffiness. The treatments 
given are successfully treating patients and their eye issues, however 
what may work for one person may not for the other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bathe the eyes with cold water&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drink plenty of water to flush out your system&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Limit your intake of sodium&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place cool cucumber slices over the eyes or cold wet teabags&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep two tablespoons in the fridge. Place the spoons under tired eyes to help reduce puffiness.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tried
 and true - two sliced of cucumber straight out of the fridge will 
revive tired eyes. Place the slices on eyelids and rest for 5 minutes or
 more. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Warm Black Tea Bags on eye work because of the tannins in the tea (black tea)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When cleaning the face tap around the eyes lightly to help dissipate excess fluids&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use a soothing eye cream with aloe and Vitamin E&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid staying up late of a night&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="modfloat full"&gt;
&lt;div class="module moduleText color0" id="mod_207518"&gt;
A variation on the traditional cucumber remedy, with twice the results. ½ cucumber 1 green tea bag: Brew
 green tea, steep, chill. Slice cucumber and add to green tea. 
Refrigerate until cool. Place soaked cucumber slices over eyes for 10 
minutes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

delicate skin under your eyes.&amp;nbsp; Keep in cool place. Makes 1 oz.

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f8lkyk_YK54/Tnps0aaIaOI/AAAAAAAABSc/IZRje2XDRDM/s1600/78395130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f8lkyk_YK54/Tnps0aaIaOI/AAAAAAAABSc/IZRje2XDRDM/s320/78395130.jpg" width="301" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
A few home remedies to remove blackheads...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wash your face and rinse with warm water.  Steam
 your face or use a hot wash cloth to open your pores.  Take uncoated 
crunched up asprin and mix with enough fresh lemon juice to make a thick paste. Scrub affected area gently for up to a minute let paste set for 5. Rinse with cool water.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Slices of Cooked Potato. I know I know but, but some people swear by this... simply boil a potato cut it into a couple of thin slices and place over the nose cover it with a cotton bandage of some sort (like an old tshirt ripped into strips) and affix it with medical tape leave over night and in the am the blackheads should be on the potato...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dried Basil Leaves: Place two to three teaspoons of dried basil leaves 
in one cup of boiling water. Allow the herb to steep for 10 to 20 
minutes. When the mixture has cooled, apply to blackheads using a cotton
 ball let sit for about 5 minutes then rinse.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Steam skin then apply a paste made with a little baking soda and water - leave on skin for about one minute then rinse (use 2 or 3 times a week) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coconut Milk or Soy and Unflavoured gelatin (agar flakes are a vegan opion) heat for 2 minutes over medium heat until gel is dissolved spread on nose wait until cool and pull off like you would a pour strip.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
