10 days without Sweet Tea, and counting!

Raw. That's the word of the day in the house. Define Raw and you'll get "uncooked". One simple word. And the results of applying that one simple word to your eating lifestyle.. are LIFE CHANGING. The minor downfall that I've found, is that sweet tea sadly is not in the raw food division. Considering that is like my all time favorite thing ever, I thought I couldn't go without it. But I have successfully gone without the stuff for 10 days, and haven't even missed it! All the other delicious foods and drinks that are possible without the major sugar contents have made me just as happy! All this to say that I thought I would let you all in on a major transformation in my life... *cough *cough!

Grabbed this picture a few days ago at the Rawfully Organic Co-op that we went and volunteered at. It is a non-profit organization that provides completely organic produce for whoever wants to buy a share (a HUGE box filled with mouth watering fruits and veggies). We got one of these delicious boxes filled with amazing goodness, and despite the rain pouring down and soaking us at the end of packing the them.. it was definitely worth it!
Check out their website, it truly is an amazing thing their doing.. and it's just such a darn cute webpage! http://www.rawfullyorganic.com/index.php

If this picture doesn't make your mouth water, I'm not sure what else on this round earth could.

Yes, they are related to me....

It all started as innocent fun. Sarah asked if she could do my make-up, and I finally gave in. When she gave me the mirror afterwards I looked and my face was an explosion of every color you can imagine. I DECLARED WAR. And these pictures show the aftermath of my wrath! Scared yet?

Bailey Anne!!!

Bailey (a fellow photographer) from the start of the shoot till the end BLEW me away. In every picture she made modeling look so effortlessly easy and amazing, which some of us.. *cough cough (ME) have NO earthly way of doing. It's funny, cause as a "photographer" (if you could even call me that), I was born to be BEHIND the camera, and NOT in front of it... but I have seen some Photographer prodigies who are amazing behind AND in-front of the lens, Bailey definitely fits into that category. I was completely amazed at every single picture, and I hope you love them as much as I do!

P.s: You should hit up her blog: http://confessionsofayoungphotographer.blogspot.com/ ;)

The stupid curl that kept getting in front of her face... we had to document it!

Baaam!!!

A preview of the up-and-coming Photo Shoot With Bailey Anne!!! The pictures that we took have completely blown me away. She made the whole shoot SO easy with her fantastic born-with 'em modeling skillz. I'm waay too excited to put the rest of the pictures up, but for now you'll have to settle for just ONE.
