Skinny Bitch and Juicers

A good friend from my undergrad school, who I've sadly been kind of out of touch with, emailed me and said that she is so proud of me for trying vegan for a month! It was a great thing to read after my hard day yesterday.
Also, she suggested that I read the book "Skinny Bitch," then another friend of mine said the same thing! So apparently I am missing out on something. Well, I've read lots of reviews about and excerpts from this book and it seems very much like my style... no nonsense, straight to the point, real talk. The reviews have been mixed at best... some say that its just a trashy way of selling a fad diet (veganism) or that it could change your life! Doesn't make choosing  to read it very easy, eh? Well, my wallet chose for me... I'll wait a while before buying it.

Bella Juice Extractor - $53.99 at Target

Speaking of which... does anyone have a juicer and/or a blender that they would like to donate (or sell very very cheaply) in support of this vegan experiment? I have been wanting a blender really badly... I have always LOVED smoothies... really, they're one of my favorite foods. And a juicer is a fabulous thing for lots of reasons... I can extract all of the micronutrients from my fruits and veggies, better absorb those nutrients, and I can use the leftover pulp to make veggie burgers, bread, and soup! Gotta get your money's worth, yanno!
Gina has a couple of posts about how awesome her juicer is and how much she loves it... even a video! I added the juicer video below... watch out for the apple...
In the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead," both of the main people went on 60-day juice fasts and absolutely changed their lives. A little long for me... maybe a week.

Well, that's all for now, folks. James and I may be trying Buffalo Seitan at Andrew's house tonight... should be interesting! I'll keep you updated.

Adios!
