ACTIVATE... :)

Yeeeeeeee-HAH :) Warning: excited outburst follows…
I am VERY excited to announce that we now have POI for sale on the RawReform website. Have you ever tried poi dancing? I think it’s a FANTASTIC form of exercising…I’ve been learning/practicing for about 4-5 years…I used to teach myself out in the snow at night in Iceland when I was first learning ;) I LOVE it…I find it so beautiful and graceful…it’s also great for toning the body (especially upper body), improving coordination, meditating, inspiring kids to be more active and much more… ;) The poi we’ve just started to sell are soft, GREAT for beginners and a bargain at $15 a set – an ideal ‘stocking-stuffer’– see HERE.
I filmed a quick 3 minute YouTube video demo of me poi dancing on the beach yesterday, so you can see what it’s all about if you’re not familiar – see here:

If you’re after a bit more in-depth instruction than that, we also have a FANTASTIC full-length instructional DVD from super-fit raw food wonder-girl Tonya Kay, called ‘How to Spin Poi’…see HERE...

Ooooo la la…what’s the timeline all about then…??? ;) Well, one of you stunning cherubs wrote in to request an approximate Stokes feeding timeline…so, the last couple of days have been closely monitored and the results are…thus…hope that helps make some more sense of it all…I tend to just have water the first hours of the day, then light stuff to ‘break into’ the day, like fruit/juice etc, then my heaviest meal in the middle of the day, then more fruits/juices/green smoothies later, wrapping up ingestion of solids around 7.30 – water again after that…
