This is how it started..

I want  to share with you how I first started my journey into the world of  nutritious and delicious foods and  how I found out about the healing properties of our plant world.
I grew up in Germany and our diet over there is pretty meat and potatoe based even though I have to say that processed foods and fast foods were not on my daily diet plan..thanks to my mama's cooking.I never had any weight issues but I was constantly sick.Colds,urinary-tract infections,stomach flew..there was always something going on with me but not in my wildest dreams I would have thought that it had anything to do with the way I ate.
When I was 23 I came to the United States and let me tell you the first year was all about ribs,fries,cookies and donuts..16 pounds heavier and still constantly sick I soon lost all my appetite for fast foods.
One day I picked up a book at the bookstore with the interesting title''Skinny Bitch'' and I had no idea what I have gotten myself into.There it was the ugly,nasty uncomfortable truth about the meat and dairy industry.I was shocked and disgusted about the things the authors revealed about the cruel business.It made me sick to my stomach.
After reading the book I declared to my back then boyfriend (now husband) that I will become a vegan.He looked at me like I was crazy and this is how my journey started...
I had a lot of ups and downs since then, tried hundreds of vegan recipes,had long night talks with my husband about how I wish everybody would know about this,read hundreds of articles and books on the subject even met a  ''crazy sexy'' Warrior who I love and who is a big  inspiration to me...and now I can even turn my passion into something that I can teach people everyday.I would have never thought that one day I would become a nutrition and health educator and that I be able to truly find a way of living that feels so right for me and turn my passion into profession.
With that said I wonder if you really found your true way of living yet or do you feel like you are stuck somewhere in between?It is never to late to make a change in your life to be happy and healthy..

Good night and happy dreams

Welcome to my world...

Hi everybody,

I am here to tell you about my crazy world and everything that moves me and literally drives me crazy...(uugh).
I am studying to be a clinical nutritionist and love to teach people about healthy nutritious foods,healthful thinking and natural beauty.
I love the outdoors(sunshine!!!!! hard to find in chicago) and my husband..I read a new book every week about the perfect way of living and realize everytime that we all need to go back to the basic way of living and eating and back to the holistic way of medicine.
I am working with a raw food chef right now and I am amazed everytime she magically prepares a dish that tastes like pure heaven. At my last class she made some Tiramisu and I killed the whole thing on my way back home in the car.Didn't even let my hubby have a bite..I am just starting to teach some educational nutrition classes myself and I am super excited.I will let you know how it went..
I will post raw and cooked vegan recipes, healthy and happy exercises to keep your mind right and your body gorgeous, reviews on natural beauty products and whatever else moves my crazy mind...I am very excited about starting this blog and hope you will join me on my journey.

Jennifer
