About me.

I've been so busy with work. Updates soon.


Come join the party!

If it makes you feel good, then I say do it. I don't know what your waiting for.

Besides the fact that I wanted to change a few fast-food habits, I had a few health issues that changed the direction of my life forever. Realizing that I knew nothing about the food I put in my body for the first 28 years of my life, At 34 I can proudly say I am deliciously conscious. I know more and I am still learning.

Consciousness for me was opening up my eyes to life. I realized that I have control of everything. The food was just part of it. Getting a grip on what I ate and how the food was created was the beginning of a huge snow ball in my life. I also think about the environment; my environment, the people that I have in my life, the way I entertain myself and how I reacted to everything. This journey is huge and I'm enjoying every second of it.

After two years, three names, and many directions, I finally found my place. Delicious Consciousness...my personal attempt to change the world. It's about making the educated decision to choose organic and natural foods that are free of artificial ingredients, haven't been tampered with genetically, and involve good stewardship for our earth's lands and oceans, no exceptions.

Specifically special diets; organic, vegetarian, vegan, sugar free, dairy free, gluten free, raw and all other special diets. I'm not a physician or an expert, I am a label reader. I research and learn about products daily. I am lucky enough to work for Whole Foods Market and have an opportunity on a daily basis to talk with hundreds of customers and random people in the public about food. I get hands on opinions and comments. It's great! I love local products, I have passion for amazing foods, and I try everything I write about.

I can help you learn where to get great food. I spend hours working with some of the most amazing foods in the world, and can't wait to share what I find. I will research and bring you info and keep up with food trends.
Join me,

Thanks for following.

Guayakí Yerba Mate On Sale

On Sale at WFM Venice 4 for $7 and if you get 12 you can get an extra 10% case discount .... Mucho Savings!





About Mate: Mate was first consumed by the indigenous Guaraní and also spread by the Tupí people that lived in Southern Brazil. The consumption of mate became widespread with the European colonization and became widespread in the Spanish colony of Paraguay in the late 16th century both among Spanish settlers and indigenous Guaraní, who consumed it before the Spanish arrival. Mate consumption spread in the 17th century to the River Plate and from there to Chile, Bolivia and Peru. This widespread consumption turned it into Paraguay's main commodity above other wares like tobacco, cotton, and beef. Aboriginal labour was used to harvest wild stands. In the mid 17th century Jesuits managed to domesticate the plant and establish plantations in their Indian reductions in the Paraguayan department of Misiones, sparking severe competition with the Paraguayan harvesters of wild strands. After their expulsion in the 1770s, the Jesuit missions - along with the yerba mate plantations - fell into ruins. The industry continued to be of prime importance for the Paraguayan economy after independence Brazil then became the largest producer of mate. In Brazilian and Argentine projects in late 19th and early 20th century the plant was domesticated once again, opening the way for plantation systems. When Brazilian entrepreneurs turned their attention into coffee in the 1930s, Argentina, which had long been the prime consumer, took over as the largest producer, resurrecting the economy of Misiones Province, where the Jesuits had once had most of their plantations. For years the status of largest producer shift between Brazil and Argentina. Now Mate is the new Stimulation and Guayakí is leading the Front. If you haven't yet you should try. Peace and Love
