...and the WINNER of the Raw Food Chia Pet Contest is...

ALRIGHTY, the results of last month’s RawReform Giveaway Contest are in and I’m excited to announce the results of who YOU all think would make the best raw food chia pet...ahEM, drum roll pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaase...

*In 3rd place, with his curly–headed ways, is Mr. Kevin Gianni, with 9% of the votes.

*In 2nd place, with his tousled lion’s mane, is Mr. Matthew Monarch, with 20% of the votes

*...and in 1st place, heading up the raw food chia pet party is the corkscrew–headed bishop of cacao himself, Dr. David Avocado Noni Propolis Phytoplankton Wolfe, with 30% of the votes.

(: YAAAAAAAY :)

I’m delighted to say that the winner of the chia seed goodies is the super–talented Eranah, who even sent in this fantastic mock–up version of what a Wolfie chia head might look like – BEAUTIFUL :) Thanks Eranah – your chia goodies are shimmying their way across the country to you in celebration right now ;)
This was such a fun contest :) Thanks for all the answers sent in, which included an eclectic range of suggestions, from Annmarie Gianni or Jonny 5 (lol) to Ann Wigmore, Anthony the Raw Model, Mike Adams and even...me ;)
My personal favourite suggestion though for a raw chia pet model was sent in by a few people and would be a ‘face–off’ model of the durian eating contest between Mr. M and Wolfie, with a durian between their heads – LOL ;)
I would truly LOVE to see any of these figurines made in pottery, if anyone would love to make them professionally – we could even sell them through our webstores ;) So, let us know if you’re a talented raw potter with a passion for chia pets and we can maybe create some classic memo–raw–bilia for all the raw family ;)

On July the 4th I had:

1 quart water
1 cup coconut water
2 cups ‘Green Potion’ ice cream at Erewhon, followed by shared ‘Cookie Dough Ice Cream’
2 cups water
2 cups hemp milk with cardamom, cinnamon, stevia, maca, pinch of salt
25 chlorella nuts
2 Tbsp bee pollen
2 cups energy soup with 2 flax crackers, little handful of yacon slices
3 cups water

Yesterday I was doing an interview and I really enjoyed one of the questions asked – I thought I’d re–post it here for y’all, if you’d like a little extra insight into the patterns of a Stokes–Monarch:

Q: What is in your purse at this very moment?
A: Great question ;) Now that is going to be quite a long answer ;) lol...I have a rather large, abundant bag of tricks (and I'm not even a mother yet ;)... Here we go: Rescue Remedy, seven sacred stones, my pendulum, my timepiece, lip balm, bottle of water, wallet, camera, my organiser (stuffed full of papers and business cards ;), bag of bee pollen, chlorella tablets, yacon slices, ReddRox powder, hairclips, rubber bands, 2 pegs, Tooth Swish, pair of earplugs, MANY pens, MSM lotion, spoons, binoculars, tissues. Quite an eclectic mix ;)

I like that question...this is actually smthg I generally find very endearing about women – the little bags of STUFF they carry around with them everywhere – I can remember being in rooms full of women at meetings and glancing around with a swelling heart as I noticed the little sac of goodies slumped on the floor next to each Goddess – I love women ;) So, what’s in YOUR bag, baby...?

on July the 5th I had:

1 quart water
3 cups watermelon juice
3 cups coconut water/GreenerGrasses powder/Marine Phytoplankton
2 cups home–made yummy raw elixir ice cream :) Tasted like TOFFEE – so good – see the video of me making it below.
3 cups water
30 chlorella ‘nuts’
3 durian pods and a clamshell of blueberries
1 quart water

Mmmmmm, so I’ve become uber–excited about raw elixir ice creams after we were hanging out with Mr. Truth Calkins at the Tonic Bar in Erewhon...the ice cream I made myself yesterday was OFF.THE.HOOOOOOOK good :) It tasted like TOFFEE and I’m not really sure why yet – I was just adding stuff to the blender and it turned out SOOOOOOOOOOO good :))) Mr. M caught the whole thing on camera, so you can re–create your own ice cream wonders with whatever goodies YOU have around – see the video below and ENJOY :)
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…

All love and ice cream wonders,

Mr Monarch vs. David Wolfe - Durian Eating Contest ;)

PHeeeewwwww ;) We're just back from a wild weekend at the Raw Spirit Fest in Santa Barbara - fun ;) ...and it's less than TWO WEEKS now until our Raw Union festival and wedding - eeeeeeek ;)
I am THRILLED to say that among the new additions to the event line-up for the festie is smthg EVERYONE can contribute to, no matter where you are, or whether or not you're able to join us in the physical for the event...
We are going to be burying a TIME CAPSULE during the wedding celebrations, packed with momentos, pictures, goodies, predictions, hair locks, love letters, trinkets, bim-bobs and whatever other little paraphernalia y'all might love to contribute ;)
The intention is to bury the time capsule to mark the celebration, plant a fruit tree nearby, then re-convene in 50 years time on the Summer Solstice, with whoever remembers ;) On June 21st, 2059, let's see who is still around in the physical to re-open the capsule and revel in the messages from half a century before...
I love time capsules; I've buried two before - one in the UK and one in The Netherlands... I'm excited to co-create this third, beautiful, memorable collection for our future enjoyment...and I hope you'll join us by bringing along or sending in whatever you'd love to contribute to the capsule. Examples might be a picture, a 'trinket' of some kind, your vision for the future of the raw foods movement, a tape/disc, your gratitude list, a tooth, a lock of hair and so on...whatever you feel you'd love for someone to unwrap in 50 years time and remember you by ;) We'd prefer to receive smaller sized capsule contributions rather than bulky items, to make sure there is room for everyone to contribute to the box ;)
If you're coming to the Raw Union festie, just bring your contribution along with you. If you're not able to be there in the physical, you can send your contribution by post to:

Raw Union Festival - Time Capsule Contribution
c/o Angel’s Organic Farm
9394 Blackwell Rd.
Central Point, OR 97502

THANKS :) We look forward to co-creating this fun event with you :))))
