One year anniversary Giveaway
Since today is our blog’s – One Year Anniversary – we wanted to re-do our blog design but due to some business changes we had to re-think everything (so our re-design is put on hold). But we did finally made a facebook page for Pure2Raw (so please become a friend and keep up-to-date with what is happening with us)!
It is fun for us to look back at some of our first posts…to see our blog’s journey (and our personal life’s journey) from one year ago. For some great laughs check out our first two post 
Michelle and I have learned so much from blogging! We are so grateful to have so many great blogging friends and readers! And we are deeply honored for your support and we hope to continue our friendship for many years to come
Moving on to some of our eats.
Yesterday’s dinner was a version of our avocado pudding though this time we added in some irish moss
My version with some yacon syrup on top
I wanted it simple since my tummy still was not feeling the best.
Love the texture irish moss provides puddings!
Michelle’s version – she added some vega protein powder (something Heather would approve)!
A little bit later, once my tummy started to feel better, I enjoyed a new raw cookie we created.
Delicious and the cookie is based out of stevia
As Michelle mentioned we did not workout this morning in order to give my body some rest. I have been feeling better today
I ended up eating simple smoothie for breakfast. A good friend and client of ours dropped off some fresh figs! So that is what we made our smoothie out of!
Love fresh figs. Gary has never had a fresh fig before (I know crazy) and he tried one and loved them
Nothing beats fresh figs!!!! What is there not to love?!?!
Just want the doctor ordered 
Michelle and I both sat outside to enjoy this refreshing smoothie!
Did you sit outside today?
Dinner tonight is a lovely salad topped with some quinoa mac and cheese
Michelle showing off her hair cut

What a great giveaway!! I’m dying to try some of your AWESOME looking raw goodies!
I love the sun for lighting my apartment (so I don’t waste electricity during the day) and for getting a hefty dose of Vitamin D! You just reminded me that I need to take my dog for an afternoon walk to get my daily dose!

Happy bloggie anniversary! I’ve never had a fresh fig either but they look gorgeous.
Let’s see, I love the sun for so many reasons! Right now, I love it because it makes my basil grow.
on Jun 25th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
yummy, I love the sun way too much! I have cut way back on my sun bathing in recent years to avoid wrinkles and cancer but I can’t resist getting in a good hour or two at least once a week, it makes me happy!
on Jun 25th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
I always thought figs looked gross when I was a kid…I should go try it some day
I love the sun so much because it energizes me when I’m feeling really down, and I love getting my vitamin D from it!!
on Jun 25th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
I love the sun and everything else about summertime! I didn’t sit in the sun today, but I did ride my bike a lot.
And yeah, fresh figs are a treat. So good.
on Jun 25th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
love love love the sun — running in the sun, strolling in the sun, lifting my face to the sun
on Jun 25th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
I grew up in the Pacific NW and now live in Arizona. I never thought the AZ heat would be something I like.. but I’ll take perfect, dry, sunny weather 8 months of the year for those 4 months when it doesn’t get bellow 100
on Jun 25th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Okay, I have to admit that I’ve never tried a fresh fig either! Sad I know. When I come across them I will try them for sure! Not doubt I’d love it/them. Mmm, the quinoa mac looks yummy! And nice haircut Michelle.
And ooh! I want to enter your giveaway – happy anniversary!
I love the sooooo much that it seems to be hiding from me. I won’t bite, promise.
Love hot dry weather – lazy days in the sun, watching the boats on the water, seeing people be happy.
And of course I’m a fan of you on facebook! Glad you created the new page. “Liked” it!

I’ve added you to my FB and here goes about the sun: In Albany, NY I spend the entire winter looking forward to our beautiful summers and the lovely SUN!
Happy bloggiversary!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 7:18 am
Yay! I absolutely love the sun! Living in Europe (particularly Germany) has taught me to really appreciate it when it’s out.
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 7:19 am
P.S. I will be living in the states again on Monday!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 10:30 am

yay!!! Happy Blogiversary! I love the sun for how happy it makes me feel.
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Congrats on the blog! I’ve really enjoyed reading it and learning new things (along with ya’ll) about hormones, body functions and DELICIOUS foods.
I do like the sun, it makes me feel happy and alive. I don’t like to just lay out in it so much…..I get restless and it gets pretty hot. I also worry alittle about skin cancer, growing up in FL.
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
happy anniversary to a beautiful team of nutrition and self-awareness educators
i love the sun so much that i recently moved from boone, nc to sedona, az. LOVE the sun!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Mmm, juicy figs!
I love the sun, except for when it burns me! I’m as pasty as they come.
I’m following you on FB now too.
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
happy happy blog birthday! I ADORE THE SUN! it fuels me-both indirectly and directly. Eating a plant-based diet we get all the nutrients thanks to good ol’ sun. And sitting in the sun, and watching the sun rise/set refreshes me everyday! <3
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
and of course i fanned you on fbook!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Happy blogaversary ladies!! I actually did sit outside in the sun today, and it was beautiful!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I covet your fresh figs. { Oooooooh, that sounds kinds naughty, doesn’t it? }
I LOVE the Sun because it makes my garden grow BIG and GREEN.
Happy Blogiversary, gals!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
Most of my sun interactions involve a heafty lathering of sunscreen! But I definitely love watching sunrises and sunsets.
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I love the sun – the vitamin D it gives and the healthy nutrients it provides my plants. Of course I still wear my shades and SPF, but I think I’d be so blue if I didn’t get my sunlight. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway, happy blog-iversary!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Mmmm figs! Delicious. Happy anniversary!
I ADORE the sun! My name means “tree” and I’ve always thought that I needed the sun to make me grow and feel strong – little did I know that I really do! I think it’s amazing that the body+the sun naturally synthesize vitamin D, which helps make you happy! It makes all kinds of sense. I love to be in the sun, all day every day. And I love it when it gets HOT!
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
I love the haircut Michelle! I always wanted long straight hair. Grass is always greener on the other side! Also I liked Pure2Raw on Facebook.
on Jun 26th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
The sun can always turn my day around. Frustration, sadness, whatever….if I walk outside on a sunny day I literally can feel it all lifting. Congrats on your one-year anniversary!! Two great girls doing great things.

I love the sun because my Irish descent gives me pale skin, so the sun helps by giving me some much needed color!
on Jun 27th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
I love the Sun and love to sit in my lawn chair with a cool drink and maybe a book. Ahhh. I miss the sun because it is too rare most of the year in Seattle. I live in the wrong city! Seriously! Trying to move actually.
I will be away but this is one giveaway I did NOT want to miss. So if I win please email or DM me! bittofraw@gmail.com

on Jun 28th, 2010 at 7:01 am
I love the sun because it makes everything good to eat grow and gives our bodies vitamin D. Nothing cheers me up more than being out in the beautiful sunshine. My sweet little yorkie Benny loves the sun too and wants to be outside with me all the time.
on Jun 28th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
I barbequed in the sun yesterday, swam, and enjoyed time with my sister!

I love the sun for my Vitamin D, but not for sunburns! Sometimes having fair skin is a burden, haha…
on Jun 29th, 2010 at 9:08 am
I realllly love the sun because the way it feels on your skin. Sometimes when I’m inside my house and the air conditioning is on, it gets SUPER chilly and just running out into the sun for 5 minutes warms me back up. Not to mention the benefits of Vitamin D and the effects it has on lifting your mood! Without the sun, we wouldn’t be able to live on this planet! Yay for sun!
