Watermelon Facts
Watermelon contains vitamin C and potassium it is thought to be a great detoxifier, diuretic, and cleansing agent for the body. Did you know that the seeds of a watermelon can be eaten. They are roasted, and/or salted and sometimes ground into a form of cereal to make bread. The watermelon rind can be candied or marinated.

A few weeks ago I purchased a watermelon. I finally cut it open this morning. I used half of the watermelon in a smoothie. I scooped out the watermelon (I could not resist a few bites) and added to my blender. I pureed until smooth. It was thick so I added about 12 ounces of distilled water to the blend. I gave my daughter a cup of watermelon juice. She loved it. You know if I had grapes would have added it the blender but I’m not complaining the watermelon smoothie was delicious.

My Raw Journey

Cleansing
Oh my! My body is still cleansing and I’m not surprised. In May I went on a deep cleanse (physical and emotional) it lasted the entire month it was a profound experience. I ate very healthy (whole foods, high raw, mainly steamed vegetables) I still had not practiced that level of cleansing. We are exposed to so many different toxins on a daily basis it makes sense to incorporate some type of internal cleansing into your daily lifestyle.

Do you remember when I blogged about winning the VitaMix on ebay? I paid for it early yesterday morning. I had the money in my banking account when I won the bid I decided to hold off actually purchasing for two days. Why? I budget everything and if I had not allotted for that extra expense for that time period and did not want to go over. I can get pretty anal with my budgeting.
What if I have an emergency? Well that’s what I have an emergency fund for! Hmm, I wonder what I should make this evening. You know all sorts of yummy concoctions are dancing through my head.

I’m thinking of investing in a food processor. I will research the various blenders out there and then I will check eBay and Craig list for a good quality used blender. I try to buy things used. I want to do my part to lessen the impact on our environment.
