Just so you know, I took my children bowling tonight & they had 100% orange juice at the alley (the label said oranges & water, but I'm not too certain of it's rawness). Anyway, while the kiddies had pizza & soda I sipped on my juice & honestly wasn't even tempted by their cooked fare!
But I do have a question for RawJoJo ... is there a specific reasoning behind only oj fasting? Just curious as I am new to all of this.

Hi everyone!!! OJ for me all day today!!! NO coffe or soda (I am so proud of me)..My 1st day of juicing was all about me. I relaxed and pampered myself. I had to run a few errands, and found myself picking up more oranges at the farmers market, so on the way home, I made a hole in the orange to drink the juice (lol)...

J, you mentioned not all organic in another thread, and I am glad to see that, not because I dont want all organic but it is VERY difficult to find where I am...so I feel that what I am doing now is better than nothing at all!!!

[Jay]

Hi glad2beme,

yeah, in the thread Tanja_swe wrote she asked if she should put some more money aside now for when she's going to juicefast in a couple of weeks...
It's true though, I think it does cost more when you juice than when you eat the fruit as it is. I don't eat that much f/v, but when I juice, oh my, before you know it you just drank like 10 apples!!
I'm all for the organic produce, but with a small budget, it's just not possible all the time, I'm afraid...
so yeah, better non-organic than nothing at all...

Take care!

Oh! and I was lol when you said you made a hole in the orange and drank it, in your car!! LOL LOL!

Hi everyone,

there's something I want to add, that I noticed in my skin...
Before I started the juicefast, 4 days ago now, I had already a few spots/zits/pimples/acne here and there on my face. Now I'm 25 going on 26 soon, so you'd think the time is right for the spots to finally GO and leave my face alone! But nope, I was wrong, oh boy how wrong I was!! Every day since starting this juicefast, there have been more and more spots on my face! It's just plain horrible! I'm even afraid to walk out of the door without covering them up a bit I can't believe all the toxins chose my face as the perfect getaway

I just HOPE they will be gone soon, because my granny is having her 80th birthday in 11 days, and it's going to be a big party with loads of guests and family, and I can't turn up the way I look now, I look 17 all over again, <snif snif> (where's the 'crying' smilie when you need it?!?)

anyways, you see that it's not always fun being raw... detox s*cks!

I'm sorry to hear that it's your face that suffers... but believe you me when I say that the other end is not much better! ;) My butt is SO painful at the moment! It's not even funny .... I've never had a spot/blemish or whatever they're called on my butt before but now... oh my and they're HUGE. Sorry for being so graphic but even though it's gross it's a little bit fascinating too... I guess I had a lot of not wanted stuff down there

[Jay]

Hi Tanja,

god, that's right, spots on your butt, now that's not nice either of course, but rather on my butt, where nobody can see them but me, than on my face... at least that's how I think about it...
I'm sorry you're feeling the same, but I'm glad I'm not alone in this

I hope they will go away soon!!

hugs, Joke

[glad_2beme]

dont know if this will help you or not..but here goes, I clean my face with fruits and stuff like honey and lemons, the lemons seem to really make my face better.....sometimes I mash bananas for a facial, lol...anyway there you go (yes I can be weird and take things to the extreme) but I have fun doing it, and I dont spend $50 at the department store for their stuff.

[Tanja_swe]

ROFLOL at the thought of myself standing in the bathroom cleaning my butt with a lemon and then doing a banana butt-cial

But seriously, thanks for the advice! I will try it this weekend... on my face though ;)

Hi Veganwannabe!

To answer your question about the O.J. ~ I am following "The Garden Diet" Orange Juice Diet for 2 weeks. It just involves drinking orange juice. As much as you need. Oranges are the perfect fruit. They have all of what you need to replenish your body. Also, I wanted to speed up my detoxing which has been going on (slowly) for quite some time so I decided an o.j. fast along with some wheatgrass will really push me through this time. So far it seems to be working. I am already feeling better today and it's only day 3. Really the only detoxing symptom that I am having is a headache and a salt craving. I do agree, however, that usually you shouldn't incorporate wheatgrass into this plan (because it's such a quick detox agent) but for myself i feel it is okay because I have been using WG for a long time and am feeling okay taking it.

Have a great day!

Hahahaha Tanja, you crack me up!!

Glad2beme,

can you explane a bit more about your natural products? How much of what do you use?

I've bought a washinggel and moisturiser from the brand Lavera, both of the products are for 'young faces' which means with spots and stuff, but it's kinda drying my skin, so on my cheeks, that are spotfree, I use the normal moisturiser of Lavera... I think it is supposed to by drying your skin though, so the spots dry and you know, vanish... I think that lemonjuice works a bit the same, no?

thanks anyways for your post, I can't wait to try your 'recipes'!

[glad_2beme]

Hi J, I dont use any certain amount of anything but I forgot to add that I just read about light wetting a seaweed sheet and applying to your face its suppose to pull out the junk in your face...suppose to just dampen it put it on your face like a mask let it dry and peel it off....as far as the other things I have tried I just squeeze a lemon and use a cotton ball to use as an astringent, etc...just enough to cover the face is all, no real recipe...do a search on the net for lots of ideas...

[Jay]

Thanks Glad,

I'm definitely going to try the lemon!
Not sure about the seaweed sheet, they are quite expensive and don't they smell like fish? I don't want to smell like fish.. Have you tried that yet?

I'll do a search on Google, thanks again!!
