Some befores and afters!

[Eva]

Hello!! I just shared these on Facebook, thought I might as well share them here too. I uncovered these when I was pulling together some pictures for something today.

Oh.My.Gracious. I sometimes forget about the "me" that was covered in acne and hated looking in the mirror. It feels like it must have been a past life or something!!

A few of the befores (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2024665&id=1105024410&l=2a7b5972f9)

And here are a few "after" photos:
After #1 (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=-3&id=1105024410&l=cd378402be)

A whole horde of afters in my Uncooking 101 classes (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2020588&id=1105024410&l=218e58d20c)

Sorry I don't have a lot of really good "after" closeups. I'll poke around and see what I can dig up. :)

You are beautyfull! What a huge difference!! woweeeeeee.

[seRAWnity]

Beautiful pictures, your skin looks great.....thank you for sharing!

[islesgirl]

You look radiant. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wowee. You have a Robot Coupe there. I have one I bought over 25 years ago (a bit different). Mine has been wonderful. Had never seen any others but mine. Neat!

[lovenlife]

I saw that too! I wondered what it was??? A juicer or processor of some sort. I want a robot too..hahaha

[Eva]

Thank you! Seriously. It's kind of tough to show stuff like that in a public place, really strange to me now that I ever had to deal with any of the problems I had before. Really, really strange.

In any case, yes... I used the robot coupe for classes in our local raw restaurant, but it's not mine. My, how I love that thing. It is the best food processor ever. If I had about 400-900 to toss at a piece of equipment, that would be the one. It's just so fabulous.

:) Now someone get lovenlife a robot!

Eva, you're so beautiful! Tell me, tell me please. How long did it take you to see results in your skin? What is the difference between your befores and afters? My skin is the primary motivating factor for me, and I can't wait to see those results. Thank you so much for sharing, it's inspirational! <3

[solarliving]

I can really see the improvement in your skin. Eyes are brighter. You arms are looking pretty buff too. Way to go!!

Now I'm wondering what that recipe is for the tostada looking dish ; )

[MrsJohnnyG]

Gawwwwgeous, even in your "befores," but in your "afters" you are glowing! From gawwwgeous to RAWWWWgeous!!

[spicyfull]

Can you improve on "PERFECTION?.......Thanks for Sharing.

[WendyinGCS]

You look great, Eva! You were great looking before, and the afters, well they speak for themselves! I hope to be there one day :)

[Shine]

I love the glow - you're skin, your eyes and your obvious HAPPINESS :) More reasons to continue on this journey. Thanks for sharing :)

[Eva]

OK, seriously, your comments are so incredibly kind!!!

I hear you. I wasn't going raw for my skin, but wow, that's so important to be able to look in the mirror without noticing blemishes everywhere. I hated my "pimple patch" (on my right cheek) and all the other little blotches everywhere. No fun!

Anywho, the first week my skin was already sooo much better, but it took awhile before it was consistently really nice. I have a whole list of things that might be useful to you here. (http://whereiseva.com/2008/09/08/tips-for-good-skin-very-detailed/) :)

[Moretta]

You look amazing Eva!

[misslinda]

oh WOW Eva, you have that radiant olive glow...smooth and sultry. I can't SAY it any other way...other than, you are BEAUTIFUL. :)

Eva, your success with clearing up your skin is such a motivating factor to me! Mine has just gotten consistently worse over the past few months, although I feel that I am eating better. I read your great skin tips on the other raw foods forum and I look over it all the time! For Christmas I'm getting a dehydrator, and at the first of the year am going to attempt 100% raw for a month. Hopefully I will get as "glowy" as you! =-)

Fabulous! I *have* had times when my skin got worse before better. Congrats on the D - that is HUGE! :) :D

The *eyes* have it! What a great testimony to the benefits of a raw foods lifestyle. Eva, as others have also observed, your "before" photos were beautiful. Now the "after" shots allow us to see how truly vibrant you are.

Thank you for also sharing the great information on skincare from your blog. Your posts are inspiring!

Hey, thank you!!! And you are seriously so welcome for the info. :)

xxo Eva

[Conscious Midwife]

Absolutely Radiant!

[chachachachia]

Oh, Wow! I didn't even know that raw could do that for your skin! Amazing! You are absolutely aglow....resplendent, even! You can't photoshop that kind of beauty.

[RawKnitster]

Aha! Nice trick you use to flatten your pizza crust. :cool:

You are looking fabulous and totally natural. You have got to be loving it! :D

[Eva]

Absolutely Radiant!
Heeey lady, calling you in a few! Just have to test out some phone equipment stuff.

xxo Your Diva!

Wow, that's a really really really nice thing to say!!

Aha! Nice trick you use to flatten your pizza crust. :cool:

You are looking fabulous and totally natural. You have got to be loving it! :D Ha! That was actually spur of the moment in class! I had to use that to make ice cream sandwiches (soooooo good), and someone wanted to see what would happen if I used it for pizza.

It did not work well for pizza! My usual way with an offset spatula works far better. Well, does for me anyways. :)

[Eva]

Can't help but smile being reminded of these photos. I'm actually going to go ahead and put them up on my website... it's amazing what "little" things raw food can do. I wasn't even looking to improve my skin -- it just happened! But along with curing my ulcers, gas, ADHD, and everything else that seemed to cause me real trouble and pain in life. Even the emotional stuff.

I love raw!

[Jolenegreen]

Omg! U glow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eva]

Omg! U glow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jolene!! :)
