Some Raw Adaptations

So I woke up this morning only to have my bed taken away - boooooo! Long story....but now that I am bed-less I decided this was a perfect opportunity to make some new changes and be positive about more floor space. I am turning my room into a yoga studio and I am going to sleep on the floor - YEE HAW (photos of new space will be added soon - and an update later to see if new challenge works)
Here is why I think this will help my rowing:
-There are massive amounts of chemicals in beds (to keep them from burning, decomposing, retaining their shape, and bleach) that we breathe in while we sleep causing allergens, mucus, and inflammation
-Beds allow our bodies to sink into positions that cramp our muscles and rotate our bones out of alignment
-Beds retain allergins, dust, dirt, and insect carcases...enough said
Sleeping on the floor supports your bodies natural alignment...although I am going to need to vacuum
Anyway, this idea was inspired by Peter - thanks dooode!

Also I have decided to go raw with coffee because our coffee maker broke this morning. Why buy shit when you can just do without?
Here is an amazing recipe that I am now in love with

Cold-Brewed Ice Coffee
Adapted from The New York Times and smitten kitchen
Yield: Two drinks
1/3 cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind is best)
Milk (optional)
1. In a jar, stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours.
2. Strain twice through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water, or to taste. If desired, add almond milk.
