Quoted from tolondontoparis

Why do nonnies even exist, it just seems like we are the weakest links, set up to fail.

I wouldn't say that, at all. I know a number of Nonnies, and they're very intelligent, capable, talented and interesting people (can't list every one of their good qualities here due to space limitations). <:

Just like with anything in life, it's better when you more fully grasp everything with which you have at your disposal, i.e., that with which you have to work, so that you can make choices to minimize that which, on the surface, might appear to be a negative and enhance those things which create positivity in your life. Of course, years of trial-and-error (sometimes even learning things the really hard way) are what allows me to know the truthfulness of the aforementioned.

As for supporting your skin, if these are amongst your beneficial foods, juicing two stalks of celery and four carrots daily will assist in providing nutrients that promote the health of your skin. (I know a 20-something woman that swears by this for helping maintain her clear complexion.)

P.S. Being a Nonnie is just a matter of being different, like being left-handed, and different is good!

I'm just going to college soon, and afraid my skin will blow up, and I won't be able to find things to eat and such!

Quoted from tolondontoparis

I have been snooping around, and although Acne affects 85% of Americans, due to their terrible SAD diets, I have noticed that it's mostly non-secretors that seem to have it. Is this true? Keratosis Pilaris too, mostly non-secretors have it. Do nonnies no assimilate things  as well? Why do nonnies even exist, it just seems like we are the weakest links, set up to fail.

Quoted from grey rabbit

Where are you going to school? Most college or University towns have great alternative restaurants, HFStores, and health conscious people. BTW, I saw the video you posted about taking out your braids, you are a very beautiful young woman, don't be afraid of anything!  

Quoted from tolondontoparis

You're so sweet! I didn't mean to sound like a negative nancy! I'm just going to college soon, and afraid my skin will blow up, and I won't be able to find things to eat and such!

Quoted from tolondontoparis

I'm going to school on Long Island! Stony Brook University! And Thank YOU! I don't want to be affraid of anything, but my skin problems make me this way!!!

Quoted from Seraffa

Maybe you can establish a "core element" of staples to always have around; even if they are canned foods in/away from your dorm! Or ask your family to give you a graduation present of a food dehydrator, or such.   That way if you're offered a Chee-toh or Oreo between classes by frenetic peers (who will be smoking and drinking by now....due to 20 years of lectins and now vitamin deficiencies sadly building up).....you can smile and say " I choose to be lectin-free, but thank you!"

Quoted from Seraffa

There's a Whole Foods Market in Hicksville - and probably closer to Stonybrook as well. You know they must be scattered about, because those in the Hamptons absolutely would not hear of not having one!  Perhaps one near the LIRR.

Quoted from Lola

mine was horrific when in my teens

I have no more complaints since following BT now GT/swami guidelines

15 years......what a relief!!

Quoted from tolondontoparis

just discovered rice flour pancakes! I make chocolate ones! So good! Maybe the campus chef can make them for me! Or I can just eat fruit for breakfastt!

Quoted from KimonoKat

Didn't Dr. D. say at one point nonnies live longer? I seem to remember reading that but I could be mistaken.

Quoted from Possum

Makes sense as we are the ones more aware of & avoiding all the toxins in order to stay alive lol

Quoted from Spring

I've never had anything even resembling acne in my life. This guy I knew in school was always taken up with my facial skin.  

Quoted from tolondontoparis

Don't make me jealous!
