Here’s a big thank you to TropicalTraditions.com (and Dawn Campbell, Marketing Manager), for being so kind as to sponsor this contest and allow you (my fantabulous readers!!!) the opportunity to win a giant jar of their amazing virgin coconut oil and a book so you can learn all about it!
What a great contest!! I absolutely loved reading each and every comment and was so honored by your compliments, touched by your desire to try out Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil, and felt so much compassion as I read your reasons for wanting to win. I’m so glad that each of you are thinking of your health and are wanting to try new things. I wish I had a giant jar of this coconut oil to send all of you but I can’t do that. There’s only one jar. And that jar goes to….. George (aka Tumblemoose)!!
These are all yours, George!!!
When I went to Random.org, it chose comment #24. This was George’s second comment in the contest (you were allowed four):

Hi Michele,
I tweeted this, too (from @tumblemoose)!

I thought you’d love to know what George said in his first comment, which was answering the question of why he wanted to win:

Michele,
This Alaskan boy dreams of darn near anything tropical at the end of a harsh Alaskan winter. Mmmmm coconut, mmmm.
I’d use it as a soothing after shave balm for me head and face. I also like the idea of salad dressing with a squeeze of lime!
Cheers!
George

I love it that George says he’ll use the coconut oil for his face as after shave and for his bald head (Guys, did you hear that? Try it out!). It’s something I didn’t mention in the list of possible uses–very clever, George! And I can’t wait for you to try it on your salad–it’s delish! 
I’ll be in contact with you to get your mailing address. Congrats–now we can glow together!!!
UPDATED TO ADD:
I forgot to say that those of you who didn’t win should truly invest in Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil (and the book) as soon as you can fit it into your budget. This is a worthwhile investment, you all!! And if you missed the contest, or if you’re new to Healing with (Raw) Juices, please take a moment to read the review I wrote about Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil and the book.
In future contests, you’ll be competing for raw nuts, goji berries, raw nut butters, and more–so don’t miss out on upcoming posts!
Today’s post is just a summary but I’m working on a series about juice fasting – including delicious recipes! So, be sure to subscribe to my feed via RSS or E-mail, so you won’t miss even one of the updates.
I came across this video and wanted to share it with my readers. A healthy gut and colon are crucial for a long, healthy life. If you’ve eaten a lot of processed meat, a juice fast is a great idea. It will help to cleanse your organs, colon, and give your digestion a much-needed rest. It’s also a very “zen” experience.
In the upcoming juice fasting series I’ll talk about a few different topics including:
- how you’ll feel those first few days
- what to expect during the process
- recipes to target the different organs, for energy, and even to move the bowels
- how your body can heal itself during a juice fast
- and lots more!
Take a look at this video first, though, and be thinking about what’s really important in life. Would you rather continue eating unhealthy, processed meats and other foods (and feeling the brain fog, stiffness all over, and suffering from constipation or diarrhea), or would you like to take hold of the reins and steer yourself toward a vibrant, nutritious, and long life? It’s the question I asked myself when I began my journey. I’ve now lost over 100 pounds and that’s only a small piece of the big ole rewards I’m reaping.
I’m going to share everything about my own juice fasting journey, including how my bladder and colon were healed, in my upcoming ebook. Once it’s ready, I’ll have it for sale on this site. I’m taking suggestions for the content, so if you have any questions you’d love to have the answers to regarding juice fasting, juice or smoothie recipes, or anything related to the topic, drop me a line, and I’ll consider incorporating your ideas.
Here’s to life, health, and healing with juices!
