So, The Love Vitamin is taking a little hiatus.
Don’t panic – only for a week!
I’m traveling this week in Queensland until the 22nd of Feb, and since most of that will be at a festival in the bush (this one, if you happen to be curious about the things I get up to) and I don’t have an iphone or anything like that, I will have little to no internet access. So I’m not going to post any articles until a week from now, mostly because I feel bad not being able to chat with you guys and answer your comments!
I severely dislike ignoring you!
Because of this, please don’t email me with any general questions this week or you may not get a reply. Hold off till after the 22nd please – if I do manage to get a little bit of time on the internet, customer service questions for Ultimate Secrets to Acne Freedom, and any questions about the upcoming Candida Cleanse Challenge will have top priority. But even then please be patient for a reply!
To be honest, I really feel like a doof scheduling the candida cleanse right after a trip to the bush with no internet access, but it’s too late now.
But anyway, because of this, today’s post is a list of blogs that I like and other things to read that will keep you busy until my triumphant return!
Paleo Blogs
Mark’s Daily Apple – the granddaddy of the primal diet and lifestyle. Anything you want to know about living like a caveman can be found there.
Primal Toad – my favourite primal blog, because Todd is my bud (well, internet bud). He got rid of his acne with the primal lifestyle and is very enthusiastic about it.
Peggy the Primal Parent – Interesting person who solved all her health problems (including cystic acne) by eating an all raw meat diet
Live Clean, Cook Dirty – A simple paleo blog I came across the other day. I like her writing. I also think she’s a reader here.
Traditional Food Blogs
Butter Believer – A girl enthusiastic about butter and traditional foods. I like her. You know when you just like someone? I like her.
Heal Thyself – a traditional foods network devoted to listening to your body and healing yourself – it’s run by a kickin’ rad woman named Pat Robinson.
Cheese Slave – Another well written traditional food blog that I simply enjoy
Kelly the Kitchen Kop – another one along the same lines
Eat Nourishing – Epic website for traditional food recipes
Other People I Think Are Cool
Secrets of Longevity – Guy from Guelph, Ontario, named Zac. From what I gather, he eats mostly raw vegan food, but also likes his raw liver. That’s how I found him, anyway.
Radiance Central – Woman named Natasha who healed all her health problems, including persistent acne with a raw food diet (her former website was Raw Radiant Health). Unfortunately she got a B12 deficiency, but she has now bounced back with a new diet and website!
Daniel Vitalis – Big proponent of wild foods, wild crafting, pure water, and other nifty stuff
Maha Nomi – A real food/raw food/health promoter who’s pretty funny. I enjoy watching him.
No More Dirty Looks – A cool blog by two Canadian girls who wrote a book about safe and natural beauty products. The blog sometimes deals with acne.
Epic Beauty Guide – Run by a very smart girl named Stephanie. She’s got mad info on being beautiful with diet and natural health.
High on Health – Most of you are probably familiar with Fran and her holistic skin care empire. She’s obviously awesome.
Acne Erasing Secrets – David has tons of really informative videos about acne and health
Other Stuff You Should Take a Look At
The Weston A Price Foundation – The dentist who wrote Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. The granddaddy of traditional foods. Become familiar with this.
The GAPS Diet – a pretty hardcore gut healing regimen, but sounds like it could be extremely effective for acne, maybe even the closest thing to an honest to god cure – but it takes some serious dedication. I’m thinking about trying it when I go home to Canada.
Spirit Science – a fun web series that I really enjoyed for those of you interested in learning about new age spiritual concepts. An open mind is recommended!
And that is all I can think of at the moment! Please feel free to share your favourite blogs from around the internet in the comments below, whether they’re about health or not! And I will see you next week!
Whoa! I popped in from twitter to get your recommendations on blogs and did a triple take when I saw my blog’s name. My little blog was mentioned! Thank you so, so much. I am definitely a reader and really appreciate your blog and videos. Thanks for all you do! Have a great break.
haha, well I like your blog! I particularly enjoyed that article about drinking and the paleo diet. I could relate. I was going to write a long comment on it, but I got busy halfway through and never did…. but anyway…. keep up the good work 😀
Enjoy your break from this blog – you deserve it! Don’t touch the internet but turn your face towards the sun and enjoy yourself – have a great time.
Lol, I did that yesterday, and I BURNED it. Wah.
Well… that’s the cameman’s blusher, all natural 😉 I hope it’s not too bad!
Have a great time Tracy! Have fun and relax, you certainly deserve it 🙂
I just subscribed to your blog a couple of days ago and I’m looking forward to browsing the archives. I occasionally visit High on Health so I’d seen you there, but I (foolishly, apparently) assumed that you were vegan. How cool that you are a traditional foodie!
I’m on GAPS for my acne. It was mostly gone at about 15 months on GAPS, but in the last couple months it’s come back a fair bit. Needless to say I’m unhappy about this so I’ve been doing more research on other things I might do to help. I’m hoping I might find some good information here. 🙂
Hi Meghan! Welcome to the blog!
That’s cool to hear that you’ve been on the GAPS… I would love to hear more about your experiences. What other kind of issues were you experiencing aside from acne?
My main other symptom was digestive issues – mostly stomach aches and occasional diarrhea. Those have almost completely disappeared on GAPS, which I’m so happy about.
I wrote a few posts about my GAPS experiences after 15 months on GAPS. Here’s one if you’re interested in reading: http://wholenaturallife.com/2011/12/22/reflections-after-15-months-on-gaps-part-3-%E2%80%93-my-gaps-healing-so-far/
That festival looks incredible! Wish I was around Queensland right now, enjoy 🙂
Great recommendations Tracy! This is the first I’ve heard of the GAPS diet, looks interesting, all these diets seem to have similar principles so it’s good to know I’m on the right track with my new diet. Im still considering joining your candida cleasnse as I’ve recently read a few books about that, it would be nice to get some support online 🙂
That festival looks like TONS of fun and definitely something I’ll be doing someday. Enjoy your vacation! We all need a break from our normal day to day activities.
And, of course, thanks for the link love! I’m getting lots of quality traffic. 🙂
