~I like the taste of the distilled water I prepare at home. Drink at least 1 litre regularly, try to stick to the classical 2 litres.

~My mum's friend gave her a couple of kilos of dried plums that they'd got somewhere for cheap, and she ate a lot of them at a go. She doesn't think about SO2 etc, and here's the result: she's quite sick, with all the symptoms of intoxication. You'll never get this if you have apples or other really raw fruit.

~As I said I don't feel ready for fruitarianism, so after 3 weeks without the leafy greens I'm enjoying them again. And not only the greens, sprouts too. Bought young sunflower shoots - and liked them a lot! Thick and crunchy.

~Synchronicity:

I've been thinking of ways to wash my hair naturally for a while. Today received a newsletter I'm subscribed to, and there was an interview with a 50y.o. woman who's been living a relatively natural lifestyle for the last 10 years. She gave some tips on several issues, including washing one's hair. Then I read LiveJournal, and one of my virtual friends asked advice on washing his hair.

So, I tried washing my hair with bicarbonate of soda (2 spoonfuls per 500 ml of lukewarm or hot or very hot water) and rinsing it with lemon juice (half a lemon, squeeze, strain, 500 ml of lukewarm water), and I like the result!

My 1st post in 2010

~ С Рождеством Христовым!

~ I got hooked on buckwheat sprouts. Yesterday I had no (raw) buckwheat left and ordered some on the web. Today I went to meet one of the assistants of that online store www.i-mne.com and while I was texting him on my way my fingers felt really cold - the first time this winter, finally! And it's only -15C.

~ I was given a CD of Rapid Portuguese Earworms (Musical Brain Trainer) as a present, tried it and couldn't listen to it. My reaction to music has changed a lot, and there are many examples (pieces of music, genres) I can't stand. I start feeling uncomfortable, and if the music doesn't stop - then really bad (emotionally). An unexpected thought came to my mind: we must have a right to quietness! And I'm not talking about housing areas from 23 to 7 (Moscow law)! But near the majority of Moscow metro stations one can hear several songs of different genres, usually very loud, and there are no rules about it, and nobody seems to care. I never cared, until now...
