ATTRACTIVE footwear for ladies? Jess 2010-06-03T04:56:19Z 2010-06-03T04:56:19Z <p>How about just a simple ballet shoe? They are designed to be flexible, have thin soles and as far as I am concerned are extremely elegant... and can be found for not very much money! <a href="http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?skuId=065558070&amp;productId=64037&amp;subCatId=&amp;catId=&amp;lotId=065558&amp;category=&amp;catdisplayName=Womens+" rel="nofollow">http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?skuId=065558070&amp;productId=64037&amp;subCatId=&amp;catId=&amp;lotId=065558&amp;category=&amp;catdisplayName=Womens+</a> </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/4417/question-for-non-poo-ers/4635#4635 Answer by Jess for Question for non 'poo-ers? Jess 2010-05-12T05:31:41Z 2010-05-12T05:31:41Z <p>White vinegar works just as well as ACV and is not quite so strongly scented, and it's scent wears off much faster than ACV. Here is a pretty good tute for going no 'poo <a href="http://babyslime.livejournal.com/174054.html" rel="nofollow">http://babyslime.livejournal.com/174054.html</a> and a great article for water only types <a href="http://thephoenix.com/Boston/Life/40141-No-Poo-Do/" rel="nofollow">http://thephoenix.com/Boston/Life/40141-No-Poo-Do/</a>. In short the baking soda and water is meant to loosen dirt and debris and emulsify head oils so that they are more easily rinsed out and the vinegar rinse is to close and smooth the hair shaft and to carry residual oils down the hair shaft to moisturize and protect longer hair. Going no' poo isn't really a paleo thing as much as it is about avoiding extra chemicals and promoting a cycle that isn't good or even useful to the health of the hair. How you clean yourself shouldn't be based on what paleo man could or could not get his grubby little hands on, it should be determined by what works for your body and it's individual chemistry.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/3397/keratosis-pilaris/3690#3690 Answer by Jess for Keratosis Pilaris Jess 2010-04-22T18:19:31Z 2010-04-22T18:19:31Z <p>This is what worked for me: 1. Don't use soap, it's not needed is dries out your skin and makes me itchy 2. Take a long enough bath or shower that the keratin softens a bit 3. SCRUB! exfoliate with a bath mitt, salt whatever or once you get out use a dry towel scrub off loose skin 4. Next is chemical exfoliation, I use apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball and apply it to my arms 5. then coconut oil for moisture</p> <p>Do this at night or at least a few hours before you go anywhere and the vinegar smell will dissapate. Try it several times and see how it affects your KP</p> <p>Jess</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/697/baby-paleo-little-cavemen-women/1845#1845 Answer by Jess for Baby Paleo - Little Cavemen & Women Jess 2010-03-11T02:58:54Z 2010-03-11T02:58:54Z <p>I'm not a mom but I thought this sounded like a pretty paleo friendly approach to weaning.</p> <p><a href="http://nourishedkitchen.com/baby-led-weaning/" rel="nofollow">http://nourishedkitchen.com/baby-led-weaning/</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/1667/what-is-a-paleo-anti-inflammatory-for-acute-inflammation/1735#1735 Answer by Jess for What is a paleo anti-inflammatory for acute inflammation? Jess 2010-03-09T20:02:07Z 2010-03-09T20:02:07Z <p>I second the ginger and the tumeric, also spices that contain capsaicin are supposed to relieve pain <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin</a> (I believe when topically applied, I don't know about internally) and also willow bark tea functions as very weak asprin. I don't know if it is the right thing to do but if you are in pain it is difficult to think about anything other than making the pain stop. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/2867/footwear-for-ladies-attractive-footwear-for-ladies/5566#5566 Comment by Jess Jess 2010-06-04T16:14:05Z 2010-06-04T16:14:05Z well I'd think that ballet shoes would fit well in a pair of wellies!? I think the concrete/asphalt might be too hard on the leather anyway... maybe they are the kind of shoe you put on when you get to work. Ballet shoes at work, vibrams and vivo's to and from and lyrical sandals at home! http://paleohacks.com/questions/655/for-those-with-underage-children-at-home-do-they-paleo-too/725#725 Comment by Jess Jess 2010-03-25T19:40:54Z 2010-03-25T19:40:54Z It sounds like your 12yo is choosing to do intermittant fasting, which is pretty paleo... http://paleohacks.com/questions/1943/some-small-and-quirky-differences-you-have-noticed-since-going-paleo/1946#1946 Comment by Jess Jess 2010-03-12T17:02:18Z 2010-03-12T17:02:18Z this might be attributed to higher fat content in your diet, creating better myelin sheathing around your nerves making it easier for your nerves to do what you've been telling them to do all along.

It was the only way I could win any races! I also had no trouble running up and down a oil and gravel road.
