Snow Day Smoothies!

These have nothing to do with snow; in fact, they're much more tropical & fruity than snowy. The only reason these are snow day smoothies is that I'm in the midst of a snow day!! =D

Not pictured?  The bananas.  This was after
I'd made the smoothie.. hence the drank from glass.

In this smoothie:

• 2 medium bananas
• 1 small orange [I suggest using orange juice/orange juice concentrate instead]
• 1 cup of Trader Joe's Strawberry Soy Yogurt
• 3 tablespoons of Freeda Ultramino Protein Powder
• 2 dropperfuls of Bioray Loving Energy Tonic
• ~6 ice cubes
• enough "milk" to make this 32 oz (about one cup?); I used Trader Joe's Original Almondmilk

Nutritional information: makes 2 servings; per one serving: 285 calories, 12g of protein, 55.5g of carbs, 11% of vitamin a, 95% of vitamin c, 34% of calcium & 12.5% of iron.

Mail Time: Vegan Conscious Box December 2012

This month's Conscious Box was curated by the Vegan Zombie, who I love watching every time he pops up in my news feed.

In this box:

• Baby Ecos Laundry Detergent & Stain Remover
• Kyi Sweet Almond Softening Oil
• Parma! Vegan Parmesan
• L'Ecuyer's Gourmet Dill Dip Mix
• Just Pure Foods Sour Cream & Onion Zucchini Chips
• Eye Walker Elements Cabin 108
• Simply Hemp Milk
• Achiva Native Energy in Mango
• Shaman Shack Herbs 3 Immortals (with Reishi, Shilajit & Ormus)
• Lush Nuts Dark Cocoa Chili Peanuts
• ZenSociety Tea Tree Facial Cleanser

I have already eaten the Parma and the Lush Nuts.  Both are delicious.  I hardly remember parmesan cheese, so I will simply say I enjoyed this on my farfalle & meatless meatballs, haha.  The Lush Nuts pack a nice little surprise kick.  Not too hot, very, very well balanced with the bittersweet cocoa.

I'm rubbing the Softening Oil on my hands now, and I have to say I think it's working, but it does sting on my windburn a bit (though that could be touch related).  It smells like verbena and I think I like it.  I'm looking forward to trying it mixed with a bit of water as it suggests.

The Eye Walker Elements scent is not a very me scent.  I'm going to have to try it on a day off to report on the wear, OR make Clancy J wear it for me, haha.

Mail Time! Conscious Box October 2012!

This arrived today. It's mostly edible, and when I would usually want more variety, I think I'm totally okay with it this month!  ETA:  I think this is the regular box from October, which was randomly sent to me, so thank you Conscious Box!  =D

Packing list:

• RW Garcia's 3 Seed Curry & Mango Dippers
• GoodLight Natural Candles in Unscented
• Crum Creek Mills Soy Nut Mix
• Teatulia Peppermint Tea
• Bumble Bar in Original Peanut (hard to see in photo; sorry!)

• Clandestino Banana Bar
• Zarbee's All-Natural Children's Cough Syrup to Go
• Yummy Earth Organic Sucker in Googly Grape
• Vita Rocks in Lemon Burst
• GeoDeo deodorant in Island

So. I can't say I'm excited about the GeoDeo. I already have one of these, and it smells like a damn wine cooler! I might save it and give it to someone. I have an open one if I really decide I want to try it. But I really can't get past the scent. I'm sure the other scents are awesome though.

I really can't wait to eat EVERYTHING in this box.  Huzzah, Conscious Box!!

Mailtime: Vegan Conscious Box for October 2012!

Well. It's now October & there is a new Vegan Conscious Box in my makeup room.  This may be my last Conscious Box, sadly, because I am not comfortable tying something that auto charges to a debit card, and j0hn was the one with the credit card.
