and we're off!

Today is my first day of my gluten free, animal product free, and organic diet! I'm not doing this for animal rights or living a greener life (though I think those are great reasons to be) I have had health issues my entire life that are linked to these types of foods. This diet will be incredibly difficult to do but I will stick to it because I want to be healthy. I will add thoughts, struggles, recipes and lifestyle tips. I hope that this can help people understand me a little better and that I can help other's like me :D I have gone through everything from food to makeup to cleaning products, figuring out what isn't gluten free. This morning, after showering my face is already clearer now that i'm not using a face wash and lotion that has gluten. For breakfast I'm having juice made fresh from my Jack LaLanne Power Juicer! I think a good juicer is a vegan must, you can get a lot of nutrients in a small portion. I'm juicing organic carrots, celery, spinach, beets, apples, and grapes. Yum!
