The idea of living more simply and purely is gathering momentum.

Everywhere people are becoming more aware of what they are putting on their bodies as well as what they are putting in their bodies.

The Raw Food way of eating has long been of interest to me. It makes total sense to me in the way that using raw food on my skin does.

Even though I have yet to transition into serious Raw Food eating I have replaced many of my traditional foods with raw alternatives. As a vegetarian I haven't found it difficult, as the wife of a meat-loving husband it has been a challenge trying to find a compromise.

The belief is that in it's raw state a food is 'living', in it's cooked state it is not. That doesn't mean the food can't be warm. If you warm food to the point that you are still able to put your finger in it, it is still believed to be in it's raw state with all enzymes intact.

There is alot of information online about this way of life. As I said I have still not gone totally raw. I'm not convinced as yet as to whether I would.

The thing that makes complete sense though is to increase the amount of fruit and vegetables in your diet. The absolute best way to do this is with raw food recipes. Smoothies, salads, nut butters, you'll be amazed how simple and delicious this stuff is.

I have found it incredibly hard to find any Raw Recipe Books at my local book store or library, in fact I have seen one in two years.

So have I got a treat for you. A F*REE Raw Recipe book complete with beautiful photos of the dishes, before and after stories and so much more. These guys are also fellow Aussies Yay!

Have a look and be inspired, keep a look out for any recipes that you could use in your facials and body scrubs!

Beauty comes from within, you just have to look into the clear eyes of a truly healthy person to see that. And the eyes of the people in this book will blow you away!
