A day with the Pure2Raw Twins

by Lori and Michelle on August 17, 2010

Hello again friends,

Well Michelle and I have been working on a fun video for you all! We hope you like it :)

We have received a lot of questions about what do we do exactly during the day. Well we decided to make a little short video of it. We tried to show ‘fun’ things ;) Now keep in mind each day for us is DIFFERENT. Some days we are on the computer more than others and than other days we are in the kitchen fulfilling orders.

We aim to get up at 6am (though lately we have not gotten up till 6:45am).

We head to the kitchen to make some warm hot water.

Sit on the couch and try to wake up!

Next we discuss what needs to get down for the day. And try to start our day around 7:15am. Sip on another glass of water while we get things going in the kitchen (make raw desserts) or checking emails, etc.

Around 8 or 9am we will have a little pre-workout snack. Thirty or so minutes later we will do our workout.

Our typical workout lately has been:

  • 5-10 minutes warm-up
  • 15-25 minutes of hard high intensity workout (Bodyrock tv workouts)
  • 5 minutes cool-down

Next we shower and make our post-workout smoothie (usually a green smoothie). This happens around 11am or so.

Next we either go back in the kitchen, return phones calls, respond to emails, blog, or run errands.

About 2 or 3pm we make another meal. This meal varies.

More work on computer is done and a round of cleaning.

Around 6pm dinner is being made.

Dinner was some steamed beets, squash, fresh rosemary, some raw and steamed leeks, topped with a new spread we made (recipe coming soon) and sea salt.

All mixed around! Glorious!!! There are no words to fully describe this meal :) Out of this world good! Love it, love it, love it

Some days we have little snacks (usually something for twin cakes bakery).

We usually do more blogging in the evening along with more computer work till about midnight or 1am. Sometimes we are even in the kitchen till very late!

Ok now for the fun video! We tried to keep it short and not too boring ;) Therefore we did not show exactly everything we do because that would be boring, haha.


Till next time,

Pure2Raw Twins

It’s always interesting to hear about the lives of other bloggers- that mint bar looks so good!! I love that you do everything together too. Makes me wish I had a twin (or at least a sister!)

CL August 18, 2010 at 7:13 am

wow your eats looks amazing!!! And the banana pudding with spirulina looks fantastic… does it really taste fantastic? haha. I often cringe while eating spirulina cos it has such a strong fishy taste!!! And both of you look so beautiful and fit, btw. :)

Reply

Pure2 August 18, 2010 at 8:29 am

CL – thank you! In terms of spirulina, sometimes the taste does get to us, but with a banana it helps. ; )

Ha! Great post! I always wonder what other bloggers do. This was so fun to watch! I love the piano music at the end. That’s the most dramatic green puddin’ I’ve ever seen. Can’t imagine how it tasted!!! :)
