…but not for me.
In addition to shoe shoppin and kitten sittin’, I’ve been preparing to take teacher training to be a certified yoga teacher. It’s a 200 hour program to start and the 10 day intensive starts in TWO weeks!
There are a host of books to buy and start reading before I go as well as *diet* recommendations; we are doing a fasting cleanse to start.
Should be an interesting journey.

Food of the week is GRAPEFRUIT!
The following is from yogamint: Summer sports and pollens can increase the chances of inflammation, whether by asthma or arthritis. The high levels of Vitamin C in grapefruits help reduce these irritating effects. Grapefruit juice is also a great natural sports drink that is high in liminoids and phytochemicals that assist in making toxic compounds soluble, so the liver can detoxify the body. So running around and playing can help you cleanse! At work, grapefruit oil (available at your health-food store, along with the very different grapefruit seed extract) is especially helpful: just a whiff wards off lethargy and nervous over-exertion. Its ability to stabilize nerves can also be used to relieve migraines and even jet-lag.
For those of us chicks who are likewise concerned with what inflammation can do to our skin, this is good information. [Try steaming your vegetables too -vs. pan or broiler - as the water and steam vs. dry cooking is said to reduce inflammation. Heck, add a squeeze of grapefruit juice to the steaming liquid & veggies! ]
LUSH ltd makes a fabulous body & hair wash with grapefruit in it by the name, “Happy Hippy”. Lovely!
For drinking chicks, a greyhound is part grapefruit juice, part vodka. Enjoy (sensibly)!
