Planning for the new year!

I am soooo ready for 2009! I am looking at different things to make myself a healthier, happier me:)

I will start off with an internal cleansing. It will work on the blood, colon, liver, kidney and lymphatic systems.

I will also change my eating habits. Granted, it won't be all gung ho at first, but I will be making gradual changes to my diet. Right now, I am slowly eliminating the "whites" out of my system. Which include, white rice, white pasta, white bread, sugar and white-flour products.

I have done some research on different diets and have chosen the raw food diet. Here is a couple of links on the raw food diet: http://rawfoodsdiet.wetpaint.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_foodism .

I particularly like these two ladies that have written books on raw foodism:

Natalia Rose: http://www.detoxtheworld.com/ I have read one of her books and really like the way she thinks. She advocates deep breathing, sweating and dry brushing, among other things. I will be incorporating all of that into my daily routine.

The other lady is Ani Phyo, her website is here: http://www.aniphyo.com/ What is cool about Ani is on her website she has recipes posted AND you can go to YouTube to see her "cooking" videos! Wooohoooo!

Can't wait to get started! What are some on your plans for the new year?

OMG I love this TV show!

Ok, I'll admit that I do watch some tv........not alot mind you, but some. LOL I found this awesome tv show on DIY network this afternoon called "From Junky To Funky". Basically, during each episode the hosts Samatha Gleisten and Tim Brontrager go into a home and redo one room with stuff has has been "re-purposed". I was freaked when I saw this!!!! People after my own heart. LOL

I love looking at something and "seeing" it's potential. Looking at something and thinking "what can I make this into."

Here is the link to their show: http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_dfjf/0,,DIY_23297,00.html

There is also directions and videos on how to assemble some of the items on the show.

Enjoy!
