Happy Valentine’s Day, all! You’ll never guess what my boyfriend got me for Valentine’s Day! Look around, and you shall see. He redesigned the look of Happy Vegetable! (He’s a designer, like myself) I’d say it’s a lot more vibrant and inviting, eh? I love it! He knows how much I love this blog and is so proud of me, and he wanted to give me a custom design all my own. And we plan on making lil’ custom buttons that have each of the little vegetable creatures on them. I’ll let you know when those become available.

And, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m allowing myself a free pass to a COOKED DINNER! I’m craving pasta like crazy. I’m so excited. It’s so cold and wickedly windy today, I want something warm in my belly. But, the raw diet is coming along quite nicely. It’s been a little over a week so far, and I can tell my body is just detoxing. I haven’t been dying of hunger like last time I went raw. Maybe because I know more recipes and more about the raw diet this time around. I had some bad stomach pains one night I think from my body freaking out about all the raw food (touchy stomach). But since then, I’ve been feeling pretty great. One thing I notice now is when I’m tired, I’m TIRED. I mean, I go from wide awake to conked out in a matter of minutes. There’s no in between. Like if I’m watching a movie, and I suddenly get tired, there is no way I will be able to stay awake. Perhaps because I have no caffeine reserves waiting to kick in.

I’ll keep you up to date on my awesome rawsome lifestyle and will be posting some raw recipes soon! Have a great V day! Weather you have a special someone to share this day with or not, remember you’re a special someone and should be treated accordingly. Pamper the hell out of yourself! And check out these yummy vegan chocolates. Mmmm.
