Stacy’s Skintervention and Primal Life Organics Review

Posted by Stacy on Apr 11, 2013 in 2013 | 35 comments

Stay tuned you deal loving readers, I’m delivering a spectacular deal at end of this post! The upcoming Episode 34 of The Paleo View all about teeth & skin guest stars Liz of Cave Girl Eats, the genius behind The Skintervention Guide, and Trina, creator and owner of Primal Life Organics, Paleo Skincare (PLO). And when we recorded that show I said I’d been sitting on a draft post of the before and after results from using the Skintervention guidance and PLO for weeks. Problem is, ever since my autoimmune flare last year, my skin has been the pits. Seriously, there have been...

A Fat Girl’s Confession on Starting Crossfit

Posted by Stacy on Jan 24, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 8 comments

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you – no doubt – have seen my CrossFit photos lately. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely, genuinely apologize for inundating you with photos of me doing stuff that probably irritates, annoys, confuses or befuddles most of you (which I’m also about to do in this post). Please understand, when you’ve been sitting on your arse for a year recovering from an autoimmune flair and adrenal fatigue and then get in the gym and deadlift 193lbs, you want to shout it from the rooftop and tell everyone you know. Especially after...

How Not to Sound Like a Crazy Hippy: Avoiding the Naturalistic Fallacy

Posted by Matthew on Jan 15, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 17 comments

Before my main and only hobby became paleo and paleo assorted activities, I spent a lot of time arguing with people. Let me backtrack a bit. In high school I lettered three times in Speech and Debate. Later, I spent some time in college studying philosophy, and further still took it upon myself to learn about logic and logical fallacies. So I like to think I know a little bit about how to try to be persuasive and logically coherent. So it really dismays me when a movement founded in a scientific hypothesis and backed by fairly substantial scientific and medical research is often argued from...

No Spend & No Sugar – Week 1

Posted by Stacy on Jan 8, 2013 in 2013 | 14 comments

Yowzer! Who would’ve thought there’d be such interest from you all in what I wasn’t even sure we should write about (since it’s not technically paleo)… our resolution to make January a No Spend month. I’ve gotten a disproportionate amount of requests to talk more about it – both on the blog and the podcast, so… here’s the nitty gritty. A Recap We’ve been doing no spend month for one week now and I can honestly say the first week was MUCH harder than the 21 Day Sugar Detox we’re also doing. However, I’ve realized –...

Our 2013 Resolutions: Sugar Detox and No Spend Month

Posted by Matthew on Dec 31, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 20 comments

It’s new year’s eve. 2013 is just hours away. And our family’s working on spending the last of our holiday vacation together, as well as talking about how we’d like to begin next year together. Cole, our 7 year old, asked each family member what their new years’ resolution was at this morning’s family brunch. Wesley (2yo) nodded in agreement at our suggestion that he try to figure out this whole potty thing in 2013. Finian wants to learn to read. Cole says he’s going to focus on being happy, making friends and being a good brother. And then the kids...

Our Christmas Wish List

Posted by Matthew on Dec 13, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 2 comments

I have exciting, breaking news for you, an Paleo Parents exclusive! Thanksgiving is past, and it is now December! That means the holiday season is here and some 91% of Americans and about a quarter of the entire world will feel compelled to give gifts to each other! Here in the Toth-McCarry house, we have one resident enthusiastic Tiny Tim and one sighing Scrooge. You can guess who is who. You see, Stacy has never met a holiday tradition she didn’t want to adopt. She honestly loves waking up early for Black Friday shopping (link for those of the non-American persuasion). Check out our...
