    Coming down to the wire…

    Yesterday I had one of my favorite suppliers for work come visit from Chicoutimi, Canada. Marc has been one of the people that I have really become friends with since I started with the company almost 3 years ago. He speaks French and has a very European “way” about him, which I really enjoy. I always love to talk to people who are from different places. I went to visit him in 2009 in Canada and it was such an experience. It was literally as far North as you can possibly get in Canada. A whopping 10 hour drive from where I work in Connecticut, but well worth the trip!…

I can’t believe that things are still going so well but they are. This weekend was very hard for me. I am used to baking on Saturday. That is normally my…

    Steak Pita

    I am officially on Day 3 of my detox and I feel awesome! No, I am not being sarcastic and yes, I am totally shocked! Before I started I felt so lethargic and just weighed down. I cannot tell you how much more energy I have in just the first few days of doing this. What a difference! Not only that, but my mood has gotten better since I have been on it. SHEESH! If I knew it was going to be this awesome, I would have done it a long time ago! My first 2 days looked a little like this: It was really easy actually. I have been…

    Detox

    I know what you are all thinking…Detox?? Really Raven?! I know I know. Some people are totally against the detox fad. To be honest I would have to say that I was kind of hesitant as well. Then I started to read up on them and found that detox can really be good for you body. Especially if you do it right! There are some detox plans that have people drinking nothing but Lemonade for like 7 days. I am sorry but there is no way that that is healthy. Or the other detox plans that have people just drink juice and eat raw vegetables. How is that ok?! Anyways,…
