RAW: Juicing - stupid fad or healthy alternative?

If you live in California, you're probably no stranger to the infamous "juice cleanse" hype that's been going around for the last couple of years. For whatever reason, Californians are notorious for picking up on fads that just sound a bit on the absurd side. But as with anything else, I always try to do my research. It's ignorant to simply dismiss something just because it's a 'fad'. As the saying goes, "don't knock it until you try it." 

RAW - COPYCAT: Taking inspiration or taking credit?

Let's face it, ORIGINALITY IS DEAD. And I'm talking real originality -- the kind of stuff that comes out of nowhere, from nothing. You might wake up one morning and come up with some of the best designs you've ever created, but they were probably inspired by something you already saw. Even if most of us are not consciously trying to copy someone's work, our subconscious picks up on everything we've come by. I've rarely come by a website these days and think, "wow this is so original...". Everything is inspired by something else and in the design world, it's very obvious that every designer has gotten some kind of inspiration from another designer.
