Go Vegan
Ive been a Vegatarian for 30 days and i want too go vegan any tips?
also what exactly is vegan? and should i consult a doctor first,what foods should i eat to make up for the nutrients im missing? how do i ease in to it?
Good for you & congrats on wanting to go vegan 
Here are some helpful websites:

So basically a Vegan is someone who eats no animals but also no animal by-products. This includes dairy, honey, meat and eggs.
When going Vegan, it's important to go your own pace. I would start off by cutting out small things at a time. Since you are already a vegetarian, you could cut out eggs and then honey. Not eating dairy is a big deal, but can be broken down into steps:
1) stop drinking milk as a bevarage (switch to soy)
2) stop eating icecream & yogurt
3) switch to vegan margarine instead of butter
4) start cooking Vegan Meals with dairy replacements
There are also many food replacements, so you can still enjoy the foods you love but in vegan form. For example, veggie "chicken" nuggets, soy icecream, deli "meat" slices...the list goes on and on: http://www.chooseveg.com/vegan-substitutes.asp
Also if you want to talk to a Dr before starting, that would be wise. He/she can give you any vitamins that you should take, because as a Vegan you do miss out on some nutrients. But it is definetly worth it! Good luck & congrats

Shea Butter or shea nut butter is an ivory colour natural fat extracted from the fruit of Karite Nut Tree, (also called the Magnifolia Tree). The karite tree lives for a few hundred years and produces its first fruit from the age of 20 –25 years. This tree grows to a length of 15-20 meters and only blooms from June to July. The fruits resemble large plums, which fall to the ground when ripe. Each fruit contains a nut with a hard white kernel, which is the source of the shea butter. Small fruit bats pollinate the karite trees, which helps continue the trees existence.
The karite tree grows naturally in the savannah of West Africa. It grows in 19 countries across the African continent. In Ghana, Sudan, Zaire, Ethiopia, Benin, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Togo, Uganda, Guinea, Cote d'Iviore, Guinea Bissau and Chad.
The African women walk long distances to gather the fruit and are also responsible for the production of the shea butter. Production is a long and laborious task. The shea nuts are first dried in the sun, then the nuts are cracked open by hand pounding. After opening the nuts are boiled to release the shea butter. Once released the fluid is kneaded to transform it into an ivory coloured paste known as shea butter. This is then poured into containers ready for exporting.
Shea Butter is valuable natural resource to the rural communites of West Africa. Each year tonnes of shea butter is exported around the world. The production and exportation of shea butter not only provides these communites with fresh water, medical treatment, housing and schooliing but, also strengthens their economic future.
Shea butter is one of the most affective natural moisturises. It is used in soaps, balms, creams, lotions and hair conditioners (adds and maintains moisture in dry brittle hair giving it a softer appearance). Shea butter absorbs rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. Shea butter is also rich in vitamins A and E. (Vitamin A promotes enzyme activity in the skin, thickens the epidermis and helps skin cells reguvenate in a healthier way. Vitamin E is a natural anti-oxidant that slows down the signs of ageing and the degeneration of skin cells. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles and soothes the irritaion of dry skin).
Shea butter also has remarkable healing qualities. It is known to be effective in the treatment of scars, wrinkles, very dry skin, stretchmarks, eczema, chapped lips, rashes, acne, blemishes and fading scars. This natural ingredient also contains cinnamic acid, which provides natural protection against the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.
