Vegan Mama

So, I had the juice feast going on. It was awesome! I was feeling good, having a little detox but good. Then our super sweet seven year old made the comment: “You haven’t eaten with us in so long, Mom.” Now, combine that with the saddest most worried face you have ever seen. Heartbroken yet? Yea… So, the feast only lasted a week. Well, two days of smoothies followed by one day of water fasting. Then I juiced for five days and water fasted one more day. It was not nearly what I wanted to do, but any juicing always feels great!

I used it to transition into a high raw diet. Doing this allowed my detox/healing crisis to continue. And continue it did! Grumpy, sore, yucky feeling and low energy. Check, check, check and check. But, it’s finially letting up and I am feeling like myself again. Finally! Let this be a lesson to everyone: even vegans detox!!! HA!

So, Mama’s back! Be on the lookout for raw recipes, smoothies, juices and regular vegan dishes. It’s nice to not be snarky anymore.

All of my fellow Twitter lovers will already know what I mean by #followfriday, but I’ll give a little info for those who are not so Twavvy. (twitter savvy)

Twitter is one of the latest forms of social media. Think IMs in 140 characters or less. It’s a great way to meet new people that share your interests and a super fun way to network for your business.

On Fridays there is #followfriday where you give a shout out to those people you follow that you think others should follow as well! Well, I have over 400 people that I follow. That’s a lot of posting and to me it just looks like spam when you have like 20 posts that are just for #followfriday. Enter this post.

I got the idea for this post from @m38967. She’s great, by the way. So, I’m breaking down my favorites by category for you and I’ll just link to this for #followfriday! I’m only listing those that regularly tweet good stuff. Oh, some would fit into two or more categories but I’ll only list them in one.

Good? Great!
