Broccoli salad is one of my favorite things, from my southern heritage, to make during the holidays. Before I was vegan (and mostly raw), I used to make the amazing Paula Deen's version, which included cheese and bacon, but now I make a vegan version I came up...

My 100 percent raw and vegan journey began on January 1 of this year. But, in fact, my raw vegan journey began much earlier. For years I have dabbled with a "high raw" diet.

Two and a half years ago I somehow stumbled...

At the beginning of the year I became a raw vegan, and over the past six months I have received tons of emails from people interested in learning more about my raw vegan life. I have to say, I get the same questions over and over!

It has now been three months that I have been raw and vegan. The raw lifestyle is an amazing and magical journey, for sure. If you don't mind me being mystical for a moment, I have to say being raw feels like your cells are singing in harmony with nature....

I want to scream it from the rooftops: I have been a raw vegan for 30 days! I wanted to try raw eating for a while now. Raw Vegan is even written on my vision board. I have always been a health food nut, always eating fruits and veggies, but...

My entire life I have been searching for truth. Over the years, I have found myself in some pretty dramatic situations searching for it. I have danced with shamans, fasted for 12 days, sat on a beach in California with an amethyst crown on my head, had intense conversations with...

Car: 2011 Honda CR-Z -- I am still in the process of test driving the hottest hybrid cars on the road! When this stunning, red two-seater was dropped in my driveway, I was ecstatic. I knew the kids would not be able to ride in it, so I knew in...
