Never so happy to have a rash lol!!

Rate this Entry
Well it seems the other day I have developed a rash on the inside part of my arms near the elbow. I pretty much NEVER get rashes... can't remember the last time. So this is kinda new for me. But I see it in the positive light that it is... my body is attempting to release some toxins yay!!!!

I decided to use my toothpaste again... I know this isn't the way... but I just felt like I could NOT get my teeth clean using the watered down baking soda and my electric toothbrush. It was really grossing me out. So until I can afford some IPSAB toothpowder or something similar I'm going to keep using my toothpaste. Also I started using my regular moisturizer again. Again this is bad... but I was just getting so darn frustrated with painfull dry skin. Maybe once the warmer weather comes around I can switch back to coconut oil again. At least I won't be sooo painfully dry.

So the last couple of days have been less raw. I'm having greater difficulty enjoying the food... not sure why. I do find that my fruits are just taking forever to ripen and then they don't taste ripe. I wish I lived in a tropical fruit lush area. Oh well.

I can't wait for my books to arrive... they've shipped out. And I bought a new rubber gasket for my blender so I'll be able to use it again. I think I'll have to get back into the swing of green smoothies again, as I'm getting a bit tired of salads. I also need to come up with a new salad dressing, as I'm getting tired of Alissa's tried and true one.

Basically I need to make some raw cookies to help me in those times when I can't figure out what to eat. So I'll be making some more apple ones this weekend.

Anyways... trying to stay on board... but having difficulties at present. That's the current state of affairs. Just wish I wasn't soo full of toxins. Wish I could feel some positives... like energy... that would be nice!! Instead, all I want to do is sleep.
