Gina–
WHERE do you find the pumpkin spice tea?!! I’ve tried to find it everywhere but maybe we don’t have it on the west coast? I’m sooooo jealous, the best I could come up with from bigellow was vanilla caramel ha

looks bueno!

anyway i also agree about the circus–craziness!!

[...] were aching – thanks to the Gina! I’ll explain- after work on Friday I ended up doing The Fitnessista’s leg workout and my legs are still sore. If you’re in need some some leg pain- check it out. Here’s [...]

You just solved a huge mystery! My husband is allergic to beans, peanuts, and brazil nuts, but can eat almonds, cashews, etc. What a relief!

Oh my, I wish we had pumpkin spice tea here! That would be delicious. I’m also cooking up the pumpkin oats in the morning and have been having Bengal Spice tea alongside (Celestial brand). That’s pretty good too

& today, because the almond butter I get comes in such a small jar too, I am going to make my own & refill the jar.

Tomorrow I shall be trying your addition of a banana in my oats!

I made a dish last night similar to your pumpkin oat bran only I used oatmeal and quinoa. I added pumpkin puree, ground flax, soy milk, almond butter, stevia, cinammon, and nutmeg. I topped it with a tiny bit of soy vanilla FroYo…..AMAZING. Thanks for the inspiration!

All each of us can control is what we each do, but these things tend to snowball. You’re probably influencing more people by your example than you think you do.

When you have kids, the parking lot fairs are 100x worse. They want to go in but the place looks seedy, unsafe, filthy and the prices are a rip-off. I won’t even go into the workers…

I’m totally with you all on the circus thingy. I agree with Kathy S. – it’s not unnatural or cruel to keep them in the rain, but it is cruel to put them into cages 23/7…
But when you think about it, it’s not just the circus that’s cruel. Think about how many people keep their horses locked up in barns most of the time and not running around on a pasture, how chickens, cows and other farm animals are bred, and how dogs are kept in kennels.
Always makes me super sad to know that I can only to so little (ie, do better with my own pets, not eat meat, not go to the circus etc) about it!
