An old friend of mine, and maybe yours if I introduced you in the past, is Smooth Move Tea! This laxative tea is in my traveling bag of tricks just in case I get a bit slowed down, which sometimes happens when traveling – rarely, but it does happen. So I just make a cup of this tea in the evening, and next morning, voila!

I really do keep a few Smooth Move tea bags in my toiletries bag for me and anyone else I might be traveling with. Here’s a photo of me with the Smooth Move movin’ outhouse!! Justin wanted to make a few of these vehicles for use around the farm, like porta-potties!

We also met Patricia Bragg from Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar and Aminos. She was so gracious and gave us several signed books. Since Justin and I met at Expo West, somehow this came out with several more quick details. Patricia loved our “love story” and wants to perhaps feature us in a new book she’s writing!! She’d also like to visit us on the farm!

Another interesting lady we met was 79 year old Japanese Linda who has an organic farm growing Ashitaba, an unusual and potent Japanese herb. Her’s seems to be extremely high quality, and this herb is used throughout Japan. It is a very powerful antioxidant, twice that of green tea. It provides energy without caffeine and is sold in juice bars at major Japanese subway stations 24/7. It also relieves pain, aids in weightloss, increases mental clarity, and is cited in many testimonials for “helping” cancer (we have to be careful about what we say because of the FDA). I just got some in stock if you are interested. I carry the capsules and the tincture that can be ingested or applied to skin eruptions. 

I reconnected with my old friend, Bill from Yi-Shan water ionizer manufacturing company.

And of course, Justin and I marked our “sacred ground” – our meeting place (in 2006) in the 2900 aisle of Expo West with appropriate kisses and gratitude to the powers that be who brought us together! We celebrated his birthday in Mexican style with huge Mango Margaritas!

And, Justin won a plush panda!

We saw our friend Ohbeeb from NYC, who knew us both independantly before we were together! She sells the greatest raw chocolate-spirulina bars, Wild Bar!
