I'm recovering from an eating disorder (the past week or so, been doing pretty well!) and I decided to start eating healthy and exercising. It's been going well considering my state of mind right now, and I would like to thank you so much for these videos! They help so much! They have inspired my mom and I to become vegetarian and not eat many processed foods :). Can't wait to be healthy again! Once again, thank you so much. You'll never understand how grateful I am! :)
I'm delighted for you that you had such a great time abroad but I am so soo happy that your home again and able to continue making videos for us! All through this video I just felt just a sense of joy to have you back :*
You are the person who keep me strong to fight with acne...THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THAT...IM SO IN LOVE WITH YOUR VIDS ...THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. IM ALSO SUFFERING FROM ACNE FOR FEW WEEKS NOW AND THEN ONLY I GOT TO KNW ABOUT YOU...THEN AND THERE I FOLLOWED YOUR VID AND THEY GAVE ME A TREMENDOUS SUPPORT TO KEEP MY MORAL UP AND TO FACE PEOPLE OUT THERE....my god....you are a lifesaver...love you....and keep us updated...love to knw about ur diet mor and more.cos im following that.
Hey Cass! I've been watching your videos for a while, but I haven't commented before. I loved your humor and positive energy in this video in particular. I actually "lol'd" a few times. "Blah, blah, black pepper." I'm a 30-something mom in Sweden, who think you are fantastic. I, myself, have been, and still are, suffering from acne. And it's awesome to see a young woman who is not afraid to be herself, and to hell with the judge mental ppl. I'm also struggling with over weight, so I try to
Where I live we buy milk that only last about 3 days because it doesn't have so much preservatives. We buy bread that has been made during the night and last only 2 days and we make soup by buying fresh vegetables , boil them and blend them. I think it's definitely more healthy if you make the soup yourself :) any-ways this was a really great video ! :D
A cool way to eat the fiber one is to melt any kind of chocolate, mix in the fiber one cereal and portion out in little hay stacks. Put them in the fridge for an hour or so. When the chocolate hardens they are ready to eat! Dark chocolate is my fave and a lil healthier :)
I really like the Bird's Eye steamers, they are so convenient and taste great. Also, Fuji apples are the best! Let us know how you like the almond milk, I had heard that Blue Diamond is best tasting, but I haven't tried any type of almond milk before. You are so right about soy... I can't believe how they tout it as "healthy." Thanks for sharing with us!
hey! :) i had the same problem too, when i was 13 i used to have a really bad acne, but i learned to use good acne products everyday (and i still do) and take care of my skin and now i'm 16 and i almost don't have acne anymore, so food isn't always the main problem. Also i have a small garden in my house too where we grow vegetables on our own! :)
if you add cocoa powder and honey to your milk it will make it like the chocolate milk you bought but healthier! and why, instead of buying cans, don't you make the soup yourself? so you know what's in there! buy fresh organic veggies, boil them then blend! you can add some oil, some beans or whatever you want. and why not buying bread from the baker? I don't know if it's common in the us, but here in Italy we go to the baker every morning and we buy the break that was baked during the night!
Bread spoils for various reasons not simply because it is not "real" as you put it. While it's possible for you to have breads that simply dry out and not rot the rest of us have to deal with external factors such as humidity and moisture which affects the yeast added in breads. Btw I'm not trying to start anything just thought I'd clarify this to people who might start worrying that the bread they buy is "fake" just because it spoils.
There's some great organic mueslis that have dried fruit in that you may like! Alara Branberry is my fave (and I loathe muesli - it's the only one I can tolerate). Eggs are called 'Cage Free' in the US? They're called 'Free Range' here in the UK.
try PB2! it has a fraction of the calories of regular peanut butter because they remove all the fat and oil, so it's just a powder and you mix it with water :)
I remember years and years ago when doctors adamantly stated that your diet had NOTHING to do with your acne. Nice to see they're finally waking the hell up.
If you like chocolate milk, you should try Silk's dark chocolate Almond milk! It's got sugar, but it tastes really good without being super bad for you!
luv u, u are so perky!!! I need u around cuz I would have a great day just with the attitude u have towards life. live life to the fullest. and b perky. u just made my day with ur personality.
If you want the healthiest bread possible, come to Scandinavia! In Denmark, we've got something called "rugbrød"; "rug" = rye, "brød" = bread. It is FILLED with whole grains of different kinds.. It's super healthy, filled with fiber and is usually quite tasty! And about your breakfast; have you tried soy/almond/ect yoghurt? Soy may be unhealthy, but I doubt it is as unhealthy as cow milk :-)
That's what I find bizarre in Americans. Eating soup from cans. Here in Poland we make it from scratch, you boil the vegetables and some kind of meat in water, add rice etc and you have an all natural, delicious and healthy soup! :D
You should make oatmeal porridge, just mix some milk (lactose free, low-fat, soy, whatever you like) with oatmeal and heat it until it thickens. Add some dark chocolate (dark chocolate is really healthy for you) and some cranberries. It's healthy and delicious. And stuffed with fiber.
(...) soak up some of that positive energy you're so freely dishing out, and just get on with my weight loss. Thank you Cassandra, for being wise beyond your years! Much love from Cecilia
I also agree! And also hi, neighbors :D I'm from Croatia! Anyhow...we also eat ''organic'' at home and I actually have a small garden at where we grow vegetables and fruits on our own! So, it can not get any more ''organic'' than that, but I still have acne, so...
Soy is good, but not a lot of it. I've been told that it can affect iron absorption if you have too much. I always have a carton of soy milk, rice milk and unsweetened almond milk in my fridge and will only use the soy on occasion. With my meals, soy sausages, etc. are only for a treat. :)
I don't care weather it's natural or organic. Since i only look at carbs,sugars,sodium. Those really effect me. I could care less now. I use to be all organic, now i just find it stressing trying to eat organic all the time no matter what, just to keep acne at bay, and the less i stress the better my skin looks. And hot showers have been clearing up my skin like crazy. I forgot who told me hot showers are bad. But it does make me peel, but it's fine.
It's cool what you eat! It's incredible how we are basically embalming ourselves with all e preservatives and oils and syrups hat are in food. Eatin' healthy is cool!
can you please tell me or make a video on like cafe drinks I love lattes and usually would have it with soy milk because i thought it was healthier, but after watching your videos I've found out it's not. So whats healthier full cream, skim or soy for a cafe drink. - Katie
Hey Cass, I would like to know, How much time do you spend in the grocery store ? because for me, it's at least ONE hour, to really think to everything that I should or shouldn't buy :)
I never said you were rude I just said that she probably didn't have time to make homemade soup. And i'm glad you express your opinion. End conversation.
I think you can take your own milk to coffee shops and they can use it to make your drinks. So if you want almond milk you could probably just ask them to use it :)
ahaha... In Arizona it can reach the hundreds in october too. She lives in California and lots of cities got a heat wave. Even Tijuana Mexico (borders Socal) was really hot.
Hey Cass, I'd like to know what you think of Dave's Killer Bread. I saw it in my local grocery store, but I wasn't sure what to look for in the ingredients list. :/
My bread is pretty natural, not as natural as yours but it has organic whole wheat flour, water, organic honey, so it's pretty good! No high fructose corn syrup or anything like that! :)
Thanks for the vid! What do you think about oat bran, its a very filling hot cereal with fiber esp if you add flax,chia or weat germ. If u dont like hot cereals make muffins out of it! Rasberry nut, blueberry...yum
Cass, help? I'm in college and have toast every morning, I don't have time to have cereal and I hate brown bread, can you think of any other quick easy breakfasts I can have that will keep me full till lunch?
Thanks for sharing that, but a lot of us have been missing your make up & skin care tutorials. Can you do some soon in between these other topics you've been doing maybe? ♥
Oh my goodness, just watched you explain what groceries you buy and why for 15 minutes, and was thouroughly entertained... only you could make an interesting video about almond milk and mushrooms x love your videos, and please please please come to England for a meet and greet!
Aww, allright then :). Oh wow, Uruguay?? That seems like a great place to live, too! Especially if your country care so much about your food, as it sounds like! :)
Hey cass can you do a video on motivation for exercising? I just came from the doctor and was not happy with my weight I want to start working out but then i usually do it for a day and never work out again
If you want to try REAL BREAD (not wrapped in foil...omg!)you have to visit us in Poland:)not to mention our hams and Sausages. ps.rereal bread should not get spoil it should dry out.
i second that !! please do a what i eat in a day .. or maby even a video shot of everything you eat for a week :O .... i love those i´d love to see how much you eat and your portion sizes and what kinda stuff you eat :D
in my country there's no place (that i've found) that sells almond milk.. maybe because it doesn't last long.. (3 to 4 days).. that one you bought says something about days?
Oh my God. I got a shock when I heard the price of fruit and vegetables. Here in Germany, they cost much less. 2 dollars for a couple of carrots? In Germany you can get it more than 1 kg and a pineapple for 5 dollars? Wow that's really expensive.
Omg! I LOVE you!!!! You help me so much, and I love your videos! I would wish that I didnt live in Denmark, cuz we dont have the same shops as you... But I can use all of your tips anyways! Plz NEVER stop making videos!
Just wanted to put out there that just because food is labeled "organic" is does not mean that its better for you. Organic just means that they don't use pesticides. However, they are allowed to use "natural pesticides"...whatever "natural" may mean. *I'm not saying that organic food is bad for you,just want to put this out there because there are a lot of misconceptions to how "awesome" organic may be because of marketing. The only thing organic is proven to be better for is the environment.
I peels apples because I'm allergic to shell :/ I love your videos so much!! I'm so happy I found you on youtube (a long time ago)! Hope you comes to sweden sometime, I really wanna meet you! (btw I have big problems with acne too and your videos have been so good for me! Thanks so much :)
Could you do a video on foundation/cover up make up for acne during summer? I feel very self conscious about my acne, but at the same time, I don't feel like having thick layers of make up on when it's hot outside, you know. It comes off when I sweat too, and it's just a problem I have.. :/
I'm recovering from an eating disorder (the past week or so, been doing pretty well!) and I decided to start eating healthy and exercising. It's been going well considering my state of mind right now, and I would like to thank you so much for these videos! They help so much!

It's so cute when you say "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GUYS" We love you too, the most adorable creature in the entire world!

I remember when she was so insecure without makeup and now ... GUUURL you're rockin that! I love u cass!!-333
I really like the Bird's Eye steamers, they are so convenient and taste great. Also, Fuji apples are the best!

Silk Almond dark Chocolate milk is sooooo good!! Also you can ground out the cereal to use as bread crumbs!

I live in Texas and we have those soups in the little boxes too. I've tried a handful of varieties and liked all of them that I tried.
fyi, the label doesn't distinguish between added and natural sugars. for example your soups, there are natural occurring sugars in vegetables.
Its 100+ degrees in October because San Francisco has their seasons like 2 months late, except for winter.
I am glad you finally feel free to make videos without makeup..!
There's some great organic mueslis that have dried fruit in that you may like! Alara Branberry is my fave (and I loathe muesli - it's the only one I can tolerate).
Eggs are called 'Cage Free' in the US? They're called 'Free Range' here in the UK.
Your enthusiasm and smile are so contagious!!!!!
try PB2! it has a fraction of the calories of regular peanut butter because they remove all the fat and oil, so it's just a powder and you mix it with water :)
You can get the Pacific soups in the east coast, I live there and I find mine at Kroger and Giant Eagle :)
Yay you're back!! :) can't wait for the new acne advice videos
I remember years and years ago when doctors adamantly stated that your diet had NOTHING to do with your acne. Nice to see they're finally waking the hell up.

I use Ezekiel Bread too, the cinnamon with raisins is good too. I also recently tried spelt sourdough bread.
You should make oatmeal porridge, just mix some milk (lactose free, low-fat, soy, whatever you like) with oatmeal and heat it until it thickens. Add some dark chocolate (dark chocolate is really healthy for you) and some cranberries. It's healthy and delicious. And stuffed with fiber.

Thank you Cassandra, for being wise beyond your years! Much love from Cecilia
I would love to see an updated foundation routine from you know that your acne is getting so much better!
I also agree! And also hi, neighbors :D I'm from Croatia! Anyhow...we also eat ''organic'' at home and I actually have a small garden at where we grow vegetables and fruits on our own! So, it can not get any more ''organic'' than that, but I still have acne, so...
Try almond butter! It tastes a little more nutty than peanut butter but it is easy to get used to! The Archer Farms brand from Target is a good one!
I LOVE your long videos!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!!
Soy is good, but not a lot of it. I've been told that it can affect iron absorption if you have too much. I always have a carton of soy milk, rice milk and unsweetened almond milk in my fridge and will only use the soy on occasion. With my meals, soy sausages, etc. are only for a treat. :)

"I didn't want to make it 15 minutes long..." *Makes video 15:21* HAHAHA LOVE YOU CASSI!!!
It's cool what you eat! It's incredible how we are basically embalming ourselves with all e preservatives and oils and syrups hat are in food. Eatin' healthy is cool!

Hey Cass, I would like to know, How much time do you spend in the grocery store ? because for me, it's at least ONE hour, to really think to everything that I should or shouldn't buy :)
I LOVE the peel of apples. I just take it off when I made a dessert, but I still eat it.
shes so pretty with or without acne i love her
you can get fortified milks..my soy milk has b12 in it. and my rice milk has calcium in it- look around you'll find them.
I never said you were rude I just said that she probably didn't have time to make homemade soup. And i'm glad you express your opinion. End conversation.
This video put a smile on my face :) love your positive attitude! Also, hummus ftw :D!
I think you can take your own milk to coffee shops and they can use it to make your drinks. So if you want almond milk you could probably just ask them to use it :)
she lives in CA and yes sometimes it does get up in the 100s its crazy.
ahaha... In Arizona it can reach the hundreds in october too. She lives in California and lots of cities got a heat wave. Even Tijuana Mexico (borders Socal) was really hot.
Oh my goodness! I got this month's Glamour magazine and you're on page138!!! Congrats, Cass!!!
Hey Cass, I'd like to know what you think of Dave's Killer Bread. I saw it in my local grocery store, but I wasn't sure what to look for in the ingredients list. :/

I just love watching your videos you're always full of energy :) thanks for the tips!! Made my day...
is the ezekial bread a slow realeasing food? I don't know the technical term, but like your body burns the carbs slowly.. unlike with white bread
Welcome back! I missed your vids xDDD Love ya
I'm not a fan of milk myself or cereal for that matter. Any tips on how to keep up my calcium intake? Yoghurt can get a bit boring after a while.
Thanks for sharing that, but a lot of us have been missing your make up & skin care tutorials. Can you do some soon in between these other topics you've been doing maybe? ♥
Also, when you cook those mushrooms in oil, just add a bit of garlic, omgosh, taste sensation
Oh my goodness, just watched you explain what groceries you buy and why for 15 minutes, and was thouroughly entertained... only you could make an interesting video about almond milk and mushrooms x love your videos, and please please please come to England for a meet and greet!

Please do ''top 10 hair and skin products'' i would love that! please keep doing beauty vids, i love them
it has to do with pesticides...some farms use pesticides to keep veggies looking better or lasting longer, others don't. no pesticides=organic.
Hey cass can you do a video on motivation for exercising? I just came from the doctor and was not happy with my weight I want to start working out but then i usually do it for a day and never work out again

The supermarkets over here only sell freshly baked breads
I peels apples because I'm allergic to shell :/
