I have a fascination with Moose - scientific name Alces Alces. And yes my name is Jen.

When I lived in Chicago, I tanned for a couple of winters - just once a week. It helped A LOT. One of my friends would go to a tanning place and turn on the booth without getting inside... she would...

Coconut water & tea with lemon/lime. During active labor, you'll probably only want sips of water & ice chips though.

My doctor said to bring whatever food or drink I wanted during labor, but...

I was thinking Omega 3s as well for dry/flaky skin... wondered why you only take it twice a week? Maybe add some good fatty fish and take the supplement on days that you don't eat fish?

For...

Congrats on your beautiful girl! Enjoy being waited on hand & foot in the hospital... that is a definite perk of giving birth - well, along with having a cute little baby to love on :)

I used the Belly Bandit, yes the kind you get at Target or whatever. It was great - made me feel non-jiggly as others said. I'm not sure if it was the band or the combo of band/nursing/lack of sleep,...

Hmm, what I read about kombucha and nursing had to do with the "detoxifying" effect of kombucha. It had been recommended that if you had been drinking kombucha all along that it was fine... but if...

Butter will sub in most recipes, but if you need flakiness (as in flaky pie crust), you might be better off with lard or palm shortening (as already mentioned). For pie crusts and the like, doing a...

Only half white - and half Mexican, so perhaps only half my income should count.

Work in IT, so many would consider me "rich" although I was badly affected by the mortgage/housing crisis a few...

Hi sbhikes... That is a great shot of you at the Cirque! I live near there and can't wait to get back to hiking soon. Did you go over one if the passes? Sounds like a great time

Geez I couldn't...

THanks! :)

I'm in Lander WY - kind of central WY, near the Wind River Range. People here, especially the women, are soooo different from other places I've lived. THey are quite independent, fun and active...

For most of my life I had very few female friends... just one or two close friends that I trusted, but the rest I didn't care about at all. It's changing now that I just had a kid and men really...

My little baby Grok was born on July 6th, 2012... he is doing great, although the first couple of weeks were very tough with the crying and constant feedings. I am horribly sleep deprived, but he is...

These are movies I will watch again & again:

Amelie
The Princess Bride
The Shawshank Redemption
The Fugitive
Return to Me (Sappy love story)

I also love the idea of a paleo/primal magazine for women... geared more toward good health and fitness without the cosmo nonsense... I would totally subscribe.

Kenn is right about the costs being...

wheat allergy != celiac disease != gluten sensitivity. A whole spectrum of issues there, but the main way to control them is to avoid wheat and/or gluten-containing grains. So we could say that only...

Where does this info come from, the 90%? I understand celiac disease is a very small part of the population; however, I am one of the many who tested negative for it (twice) while still exhibiting...

Perhaps "unleavened wholemeal wheat bread" isn't the dietary staple as it is in Iran, but a large number of non-primal folks do eat flatbreads, pitas, flour tortillas, or leavened/yeast bread with...

This study goes more to your phytic acid argument:

Iron-deficiency anemia in an Iranian population associated with high intakes of iron. Adequate iron intake was not enough for the folks that were...

It's been in the mid-90's here for the past week, with a very hot sun (5500 ft altitude), but the nights are cool. Would be great if I could open the windows and cool off the house at night (no A/C),...

Back when I was veg, I got sick several times a year. Every cold/flu stuck around for weeks eventually became bronchitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, or worse. I seriously caught everything and anything....

True, hard for anyone to argue with that. I hardly ever get negative feedback if I say "whole foods" or the words "unprocessed" and "nutrient-dense".

Anything different from what the government tells us, what doctors & nutritionists tell us, is met with resistance. How can someone possibly feel good or improve their health going against everything...

You've got some great ideas above, but just wanted to add... the most popular dessert at our family's yearly 4th of July party has always been the individual red white & blue cheesecakes. You can use...
