You are so brilliantly entertaining (in a gd way!!), I don't know why I don't watch more of your videos. I'm from the UK so haven't heard of this "hello cute" lol, and also is a "thrift store" a charity shop? Cos if that's the case I figure you are doing gd recycling on the jacket!! x
just to say weight goes on the stomach area first to protect your internal organs kinda like a baby :) i know you prob already know that, but yeah the jacket is tres cute!
That is so nice of you, honestly! Thank you so much. I think it's an increase in nutrient intake (more superfoods, more raw quantity), loving light to share, better sleep when I can, proper hydration, more mental calm and confidence in my new hair cut/color!!! plus various acts in recovery that I put effort into and acts of responsibility without depending on my Mom to do things for me... growing up, scary but well needed.
heya i have a confession..... im in love with that jacket!!!! its so cute and looks awsome.
ive been watching your vids and i think your such a great person so honest and you have helped me in a lot of ways your super smart and no your stuff. your looking really good !
You're looking very well,thank you for keeping us updated. Your jacket is great! Keep up the good work.Thank you also for introducing me to raw foods,I've been feeling fantastic since I've changed from what I used to eat!
Now that made my night. I had a wonderful day full of TONS of raw goodness. I'm so proud of myself and even more so proud of you. Share the energy and tell me how it's been healing/helping you? Gratitude!
I'm a comment nut lately. Sorry. But, I went back and watched like, some of your first videos and Oh my Goodness Johnny. You are absolutley glowing. You look sooo happy and ALIVE now. You are a completley different person.
lovely jacket and hair color. they go well and it's great to see how much your skin is glowing. sorry about not keeping up on commenting but college has me busy. as for breakfast, i never have time to make anything before i leave the house and i tend to be broke so i can't even buy anything nutritious if i'm away from the house most of the time. so depending on the day i'm either running on caffine till 11 or running on caffine till about 2. drat having classes at different campuses.
Johnny, buying used & from thrift stores does NOT support sweat shops. That's the beauty of buying 2nd hand; it saves landfill and you support the community. The jacket is cute and I simply LOVE your new hair. You rock bro!
Hi honey. Let's hook up within th next week weeks, would you be up for it? I want to see your new place, bring you some herbs and maybe we can check out a thrift store by your new house? any close? maybe we can talk kink too, I'm in horny mode again lololol this maca... ahhhh or maybe it's just I'm eating more = more brain power and hormones are out of control. It's like a never ending brain boner LOL I love that!
You got it! I am ready when you are. Love a lotta choco-maca! Salvation Army close to my place in SC, the one in Sunnyvale closed:( I'll check to see if St Justin's still has their charity shop too!
Johnny your hair is so cute! I love it. And the jacket too, will you please tell me what the salty, crunchy snack ingredients were again, I didn't catch the first thing, thanks~! ~mai~
My friend is starting an eco-magazine (sent via internet, so no paper waste or manufacturing waste, no oil to transport, etc) and I think I am going to write an article regarding Raw Food. She never heard of it but mentioned something called the Slow Movement, and Slow Food and I think it sounds so cool. Meanwhile, if you have time I'd like to do an "interview" with you with your feelings on Raw and how it has helped you in Recovery?
Yes, I would be more than happy to interview for either of you. If she wants help with the article - see can contact me on my aol account. PM me for the addy... I think I could provide her with some great input on the RAW food lifestyle, movement, heart of it from my experience, etc. --- I really enjoy putting energy into interviews that I know are going to be used to help many people. I'm finishing a project for a local magazine now and would be open to starting a new one...
I miss my Cindy, not that I own you or anything like that, I mean I miss the intimacy of friendship we had before addiction got in the way and took over your life. Even though we are not close in friendship right now you are close in heart and I pray that you will turn your life around and I will be here, still standing, holding your hand and supporting your life. I can't support one's demise, I can support your desires. I love you, know this, no matter what.
I see a lot of people feel this way. However, it's still supporting the history of the making of the clothing. The money isn't going to the company since it was purchased prior to a thrift purchase but the heart of the making of the article of clothing is still being supported from the hands that made it. See what I'm saying? Who even knows how many clothes I have from hands in a sweatshop...Sad. I should take sewing again, always wanted to learn more.
oh man,i remember from when i lived in redwood city that there are amazing thrift stores all along el camino. the thrift station was my favorite, it's so organized. which ones do you like?
See lol raw food spreads healing powers! motivating a lot of people to eat here! very good!!! And thank you about the jacket, smile, I got a few goodies today too!
hahahhaah omg the pregnant comment cracks me up, i can't hang, i am cracking up here... give me a moment to contain myself. you know, i have a lot of raw videos in my blog. i haven't made any for a bit though. i am eating very simple raw right now, focusing on appreciation for foods as whole as they are rather than tossing a ton of raw things together. i feel more at touch with God and nature when i'm able to eat as grown and intended.. so a couple things mixed is okay and i have to do this
for nutrient balance since i eat a specific time frames and dont graze all day... it is quite lovely to eat this way. i'd do it sitting in the dirt eating out of wooden bowls every meal if i could, smile
Wow. That sounds so appealing to me. I would love to get on a healthy stable diet that consists of raw foods, vegan foods, food just lacking addictive chemicals. I think i'm really sensitive to those.
But thanks for replying, im going to go check that out now. AND KEEP BEING JOHNNY SMOOTH STYLE! I like him alot. It brings out the inner fierce lady in me. ;)
If you go to goneraw dot come, my user name is TheRawDance... I have recipes, some with pictures and instructions on how to make. You may really like some of them! Good for you dear, salutations to healthy eating.
P.S. You're right, I do need to start eating breakfast. My seizure activity does seem to go down when I eat throughout the day. Got a good suggestion for a simple fruit something-or-other drink/smoothie? (I'm really bad about processed foods, so perhaps trying some healthy living would make my head happy.)
Glucose maintance is very important. One can avoid this by balancing their meals properly. Some suggest small meals all throughout the day but in honesty that screws with the body and digestive physiology. Fruit is fructose, sucrose and water - good for snacks or light meals. If you are using it as a light breakfast you want something more complete like bananas, avocados, figs, fresh dates, mango... In smoothies you can throw anything in there but berries are very popular with people.
exotic and tropic fruits also make a lovely appearance for breakfast! fruit is sweet, healing, refreshing and CLEANSING... treat yourself to some nice goodies! now is the season for fall harvest ... apples and pears - rank apples right after bananas, they are great for you. chomp!!!
Melons, tomatoes and citrus fruits are going to fill you up with water density that won't last long. You will crash fast so rely on these more for snacks rather than a light meal. Melons digest rapidly and are best eaten alone. Dried fruit is always an option. It is higher in sugar due to the dehydration process. It's more calorically dense which means you will get more energy from it. 1/4 cup = 1 serving, a little goes a long way.
*has taken LENGTHY notes* We've got some great sales out here on the organic apples and pears, too. I'll give the organics a shot, considering if I'm going to do something, I may as well do it right!
I'll let you know how the progress goes once I get everything in place. (Probably on LJ, they just don't give enough space here- lol)
As for the story, which I forgot to mention last comment- do tell, do tell! :) (LJ if you need it for space)
I am the ultimate thrift store/clearance bin shopper! I don't think I have a single thing in my closet that goes above $15, and most are priced at about $5 or so. Part of this is just because I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on food, and the other is because it's almost an addiction for me to find the deal!
You do look fabulous. The hair goes well with your skin tone- which by the way is GLOWING. :) It's nice what a little excitement can do for your complexion!
Holy crap we would have a blast. I always wanted to open a 24 hour thrift store in SOHO Ny. Join me in the business and we get first dibs and take turns sleeping at night. Woohoo. Do you love garage sales too? I love dump nights where neighborhoods put out all their stuff. Oh God I have a story if you want to hear it lol
Garage sales, thrift stores, anything with an odd assortment of nifty "unwanted" items, I am so there! As a kid, my Grandma and I used to go thrift store shopping at least once a week- AT LEAST! lol It's sort of ingrained from my youth, I guess. :)
You open the shop, I'm there! Until then, if you're ever able to take a trip up to Vegas, I'll meet you there and we can thrift store it up in Sin City. (It's got the word SIN in it, I know you're there!)
I am a dulse freak, seriously... I get major b12 and potassium from it. I eat it with avocados and bananas... today I had it with organic kiwi and avocado plus sunflower sprouts! It would go excellent with mango and other tropical fruits... exotic ones too. Yesterday I was thinking how delish it would be to make some raw apple or mango sushi... raw nori, avocado spread on it, dulse, pink sea salt and black pepper, mango slices and sprouts or dandelion greens all rolled into goodness mmmm
I'd love it even if it was deep black! Keep changing, that's exciting.
I always take me some time for preparing and eating my breakfast (my favourite meal now!) whereas I used to say 'Breakfast is the worst start in a day' ::kicks ED's butt::
Oh and I'm glad you'll be Kit's new recovery video :)
cute jacket, super cute hair (it really suits you). I think about the sweat shop thing too sometimes and it's rather sickening that developed countries take advantage of that kind of thing. The world can be a mean place, but we have to look at the good and just help make things better in whatever way we can.
you are spot on about sweatshop labor. and yay for local CA grown keitt mangos. have you had one? oh - my - doG!!! organic grown in ca i kid u not! huge. green outside. velvet juicy redorange raw love inside. had one for breakfast and thanks to you lunch is gonna be dulse, apple and almonds yay for telling ed's to get in line. we got places to go, people to meet.... i always tell mine i love you but please wait your turn...
B town has some great thrift shops but Haight in SF beats them all. Do you ever go there? I love buffalo exchange and wasteland. I got 2 scarves, 1 sweater, 1 sweatshirt at a retail store, and 3 cds. I am learning a lot about myself right now and realized I am mentally maturing a lot and growing up in many ways my eds have always kept me from doing. Today I am at peace with myself more so than ever. I am in tune with JOHNNY and that's a blessing.
One day I will get you to meet me in SF and we will talk about life, recovery, raw food, spiritual stuff, etc... even if just for a bit at Cafe Gratitude for some cheers to thai young coconut water, smile.
I am all about locally grown stuff... minus my imported thai coconuts. I have a very hard time buying things outside the farmer's market. I bet you are a F.M whore like me too? I bought 2 wonderful mangos today from a local farmer's market shop/outdoor store and six coconuts for the next six days... I had them open one for me there, like every week lol with a cup and ice. I loved it!!!
Hey sweetie , have to say so nice to see you in high spirits. you are rockin the dark brown look . As for your super fabulous jacket - don't worry - if it's thrift it's fine because it's recycling. When you shop second hand you shop green .I'm a fashion journalist and it's funny because I was on TV in Ireland today doing a feature all about thrift stores. your cheeks are not puffy, you are just looking healthy . enjoy the shopping and I hope that you find a few more bargains. XX
Wow, congrats on your tv appearance. Will it be available to watch online? I want to see/support you!!! I am sorry to say that I haven't seen my real face shape in MANY YEARS. I have a constantly swollen classic bulimic cheek face...how sweet of you to write me such a nice comment!!! Thank you and again, congrats!!!
I do a lot of TV here in Ireland and I'm always on to give fashion tips and advice. Ireland is so tiny though - it's really like being on your local cabel. I'd love to put my slots on You Tube - need to figure out how to do that. Love this Johnny Smooth Style - the jacket is SO fabulous !
Well you are offically my fashion guide/guru. Hail Princess Fashion in Ireland. I'd love to see your tv appearances on YT@@@ In the meantime, what are the hot colors there at this time of year? I go by intuition and chakra color energy... right now I am into very earthy tones: taupe, camel, carmel, expresso, chocolate and then midnight tones of deep blueberry, black... and there is always room for orange, i love orange. Pink id just a given and argyle prints are second skin when I can find good
I so much try to not skip my breakfast, but I am always afraid that the first bite in the morning is just going to want to make me eat all day. Thanks for the advise, it´s good to hear it over and over, so then I really try not to screw up my whole day and start it in the right way. What are you planning to wear that cute jacket with.
Johnny , you look so nice to day, I love your hair ! Sometimes you can find great stuff in some of those stores. I love to go junkin thats what we call it. Another persons junk is another person treasure! So they say ! Lol ! Love it ! Have a great day ! :D
I def loved the contrast between the racer jacket and the pastel pink and purple shorts. lol. Btw, when you did the hair slick back thing, I totally thought of Danny Zuko(?) Sooo, today you are T-Bird Johnny. LMFAO. lordy, I am soo hyper. I really should be doing homework... oh well. Do a video to share your thrift store goodies!!! ::grabs your hand:: I'm in the confidence circle!!! I promise to love myself through thick and thin... wow, that was kinda ironic. LOL. lotsa love n glitter.
Ooo - I have bought some fresh organic mangoes today. I could have one for breakfast tomorrow. They're DIVINE :) (I'm trying REALLY REALLY hard lately - A little bit proud of myself, if I do say so myself)
I am so proud of you. We must be twins because MANGO is on my hot list right now. I totally had one yesterday on the way to therapy, it was organic and perfectly ripe. OMG I want one. I am going to go buy one for today...mmmmmmmm and some coconut water, fresh. Okay, leaving now for real. Ps. thanks for the compliment below! HUGGLES to you dear!
hey PlobyR - have you ever tried a dragonfruit ... i dont get mangoes usually becuase i find it difficult to cut them and prepare them but dragonfruits are also divine - [expensive though:(] - why is it that it costs so much to eat healthy...
I have tried Dragon Fruit (how can you resist a name like that!?) but I didn't find it as juicy or as flavoured (or 'flavored' as you Americans write! lol). But maybe I just picked a particularly unenthusiastic fruit... I'll have to try another one soon then :) That'll be breakfast on Monday :)
I don't think you are imagining it because I feel that the enjoyment in the dragonfruit rests in the color, texture, smell and moistness of it rather than the overall flavor. I find them to be mellow and more fragrent in smell vs taste. They should be moist though, a dry dragonfruit is bogus from the bunch. It is also best to eat them COLD. I put mine in the fridge right after I buy them.
they are either white or pink on the inside.... they should be juicy... i am sorry about your unenthusiastic fruit... i think idid a vid on dragonfruit... but seriously you should embark upon another adventure and purchase another dragonfruit
I bought another one today. I hope the person who got the rank fruit gets a good one. I love my dragon fruits, never had a bad one. I educated someone in the store on them today too, dragon fruit love club!
smirk, you know you totally intrigue me too! and ps. better cool it on the spanking comment, don't tempt me lol you know I am heavily into kink! tisk tisk tisk tisk little lady!
sorry :( i will try really hard to be good and behave myself from now on - but seriously it is good to see you in good spirits... and to hear you speak about your sister.... :)
;) thank you. you are all too kind. i best be out of here now though, that thrift store is waiting for me to stalk every aisle, whether i buy or not, the fun is in looking! if i do find anything super special then maybe i will show and tell on cam again like i did that one time "thrift store goodies" - xoxo enjoy your day!!
wow - donmt you look hot-- ironic that you should make this videoo
if you know what i did today - you would totally spank me... i went to a boxing workout at 9 am and skipped breakfast - but icannot eat first thing in the morning and if i did eat i would be afriad of sicking up in front of the trainer and that would be embarrassing
Hugs. Boxing workout is great. You could eat a little fruit prior to the workout and have a nice smoothie with protein after - that would be a great way to rejuvenate and respect your body in the process of honoring it with a nice workout! Trainers see everything from puke to gas but I think they'd much rather see the body reacting to digestive physiology rather than the body breaking down and passing out from not eating... HUGS. Love you dear. Ps. thank you for the compliment!
OMG - i live in fear of farting during a workout - especially when i am doing situps!!! LOL i think i would rather pass out than fart... yeah it is ironic because my friend and i were just discussing the implicationms of eating/ not eating before an early morning workout
Wow, I think I'm feeling confident today. I like that! Let's start a confidence circle. Who wants to join? Stacey...Melissa... I best see you two in it, everyone else as well to. What will we do? Join hands and go around saying affirmations for ourselves and one another and then do a big wild bon fire earth dance!!! be prepared to get your feet dirty!!!
Here I am!! And I am ready to get dirty!! My feet that is!! LOL Johnny, I KNOW what you were just thinking!! ::big smile::
I'm loving this vid, and im loving you! I am so glad your feeling confident today my dear! Seeing you glow, makes my heart shine. Your hair looks fabulous darling!! Care to share some of those raw goodies? Looks delish!
OMG!! You look adorable in that jacket!! Very smoooooooth!! Love it!!
One of the highlights of my day is knowing or atleast seeing here that you are in better spirits too. Team work buttercup. Let's make a pact to watch that monkey movie as much as we can. Daily if possible. I jump around during it. Today I was on the floor though and it was a real ROTFLMAO moment haha Ps. I'd share my raw goodies with you anyday dear!!!
Wtf... Why are you so scrawny???

*has taken LENGTHY notes* We've got some great sales out here on the organic apples and pears, too. I'll give the organics a shot, considering if I'm going to do something, I may as well do it right!
I'll let you know how the progress goes once I get everything in place. (Probably on LJ, they just don't give enough space here- lol)
As for the story, which I forgot to mention last comment- do tell, do tell! :) (LJ if you need it for space)

I am the ultimate thrift store/clearance bin shopper! I don't think I have a single thing in my closet that goes above $15, and most are priced at about $5 or so. Part of this is just because I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on food, and the other is because it's almost an addiction for me to find the deal!
You do look fabulous. The hair goes well with your skin tone- which by the way is GLOWING. :) It's nice what a little excitement can do for your complexion!

Holy crap we would have a blast. I always wanted to open a 24 hour thrift store in SOHO Ny. Join me in the business and we get first dibs and take turns sleeping at night. Woohoo. Do you love garage sales too? I love dump nights where neighborhoods put out all their stuff. Oh God I have a story if you want to hear it lol
MyOwnStickFigure 3 years ago
Garage sales, thrift stores, anything with an odd assortment of nifty "unwanted" items, I am so there! As a kid, my Grandma and I used to go thrift store shopping at least once a week- AT LEAST! lol It's sort of ingrained from my youth, I guess. :)
You open the shop, I'm there! Until then, if you're ever able to take a trip up to Vegas, I'll meet you there and we can thrift store it up in Sin City. (It's got the word SIN in it, I know you're there!)
I got a pair of Calvin's there once for $10!

Buying your jacket 2nd hand doesn't support sweat shops, sweetie... it keeps stuff out of landfills!
Super cute look :)
p.s... what fruits do you put with your seaweed?

I am a dulse freak, seriously... I get major b12 and potassium from it. I eat it with avocados and bananas... today I had it with organic kiwi and avocado plus sunflower sprouts! It would go excellent with mango and other tropical fruits... exotic ones too. Yesterday I was thinking how delish it would be to make some raw apple or mango sushi... raw nori, avocado spread on it, dulse, pink sea salt and black pepper, mango slices and sprouts or dandelion greens all rolled into goodness mmmm

uh... yum! that sounds amazing... i'm so going to try it!

Expresso sounds so tasty ::nibbles on a hair::
I'd love it even if it was deep black! Keep changing, that's exciting.
I always take me some time for preparing and eating my breakfast (my favourite meal now!) whereas I used to say 'Breakfast is the worst start in a day' ::kicks ED's butt::
Oh and I'm glad you'll be Kit's new recovery video :)

cute jacket, super cute hair (it really suits you). I think about the sweat shop thing too sometimes and it's rather sickening that developed countries take advantage of that kind of thing. The world can be a mean place, but we have to look at the good and just help make things better in whatever way we can.

B town has some great thrift shops but Haight in SF beats them all. Do you ever go there? I love buffalo exchange and wasteland. I got 2 scarves, 1 sweater, 1 sweatshirt at a retail store, and 3 cds. I am learning a lot about myself right now and realized I am mentally maturing a lot and growing up in many ways my eds have always kept me from doing. Today I am at peace with myself more so than ever. I am in tune with JOHNNY and that's a blessing.

I am all about locally grown stuff... minus my imported thai coconuts. I have a very hard time buying things outside the farmer's market. I bet you are a F.M whore like me too? I bought 2 wonderful mangos today from a local farmer's market shop/outdoor store and six coconuts for the next six days... I had them open one for me there, like every week lol with a cup and ice. I loved it!!!
MyOwnStickFigure 3 years ago
so glad you have the coconut fever
do you whack the tops off with a big machette?
i do love the f.m.
altho the berkeley bowl is awesome
for local organic.

Hey sweetie , have to say so nice to see you in high spirits. you are rockin the dark brown look . As for your super fabulous jacket - don't worry - if it's thrift it's fine because it's recycling. When you shop second hand you shop green .I'm a fashion journalist and it's funny because I was on TV in Ireland today doing a feature all about thrift stores. your cheeks are not puffy, you are just looking healthy . enjoy the shopping and I hope that you find a few more bargains.

I do a lot of TV here in Ireland and I'm always on to give fashion tips and advice. Ireland is so tiny though - it's really like being on your local cabel. I'd love to put my slots on You Tube - need to figure out how to do that. Love this Johnny Smooth Style - the jacket is SO fabulous !
georginaheffernan 3 years ago
Well you are offically my fashion guide/guru. Hail Princess Fashion in Ireland. I'd love to see your tv appearances on YT@@@ In the meantime, what are the hot colors there at this time of year? I go by intuition and chakra color energy... right now I am into very earthy tones: taupe, camel, carmel, expresso, chocolate and then midnight tones of deep blueberry, black... and there is always room for orange, i love orange. Pink id just a given and argyle prints are second skin when I can find good

I so much try to not skip my breakfast, but I am always afraid that the first bite in the morning is just going to want to make me eat all day. Thanks for the advise, it´s good to hear it over and over, so then I really try not to screw up my whole day and start it in the right way. What are you planning to wear that cute jacket with.

Do a video to share your thrift store goodies!!! ::grabs your hand:: I'm in the confidence circle!!! I promise to love myself through thick and thin... wow, that was kinda ironic.

hey PlobyR - have you ever tried a dragonfruit ... i dont get mangoes usually becuase i find it difficult to cut them and prepare them but dragonfruits are also divine - [expensive though:(] - why is it that it costs so much to eat healthy...
galaxycat3 3 years ago
hahah have i so got you addicted to dragon fruit? i let my mom sample and she loved it.
MyOwnStickFigure 3 years ago
I have tried Dragon Fruit (how can you resist a name like that!?) but I didn't find it as juicy or as flavoured (or 'flavored' as you Americans write! lol). But maybe I just picked a particularly unenthusiastic fruit... I'll have to try another one soon then :) That'll be breakfast on Monday :)
xxx
PlobyR 3 years ago
I don't think you are imagining it because I feel that the enjoyment in the dragonfruit rests in the color, texture, smell and moistness of it rather than the overall flavor. I find them to be mellow and more fragrent in smell vs taste. They should be moist though, a dry dragonfruit is bogus from the bunch. It is also best to eat them COLD. I put mine in the fridge right after I buy them.
MyOwnStickFigure 3 years ago
I shall try that :) Thanks for the avice :)
They do look GORGEOUS don't they :)

PlobyR 3 years ago
they are either white or pink on the inside.... they should be juicy... i am sorry about your unenthusiastic fruit... i think idid a vid on dragonfruit... but seriously you should embark upon another adventure and purchase another dragonfruit
galaxycat3 3 years ago
I bought another one today. I hope the person who got the rank fruit gets a good one. I love my dragon fruits, never had a bad one. I educated someone in the store on them today too, dragon fruit love club!

wow - donmt you look hot-- ironic that you should make this videoo
if you know what i did today - you would totally spank me... i went to a boxing workout at 9 am and skipped breakfast - but icannot eat first thing in the morning and if i did eat i would be afriad of sicking up in front of the trainer and that would be embarrassing
:(
galaxycat3 3 years ago
Hugs. Boxing workout is great. You could eat a little fruit prior to the workout and have a nice smoothie with protein after - that would be a great way to rejuvenate and respect your body in the process of honoring it with a nice workout! Trainers see everything from puke to gas but I think they'd much rather see the body reacting to digestive physiology rather than the body breaking down and passing out from not eating... HUGS. Love you dear. Ps. thank you for the compliment!
MyOwnStickFigure 3 years ago
OMG - i live in fear of farting during a workout - especially when i am doing situps!!! LOL i think i would rather pass out than fart... yeah it is ironic because my friend and i were just discussing the implicationms of eating/ not eating before an early morning workout
