Bald and Beautiful

2012-01-18T00:57:00.002-05:00

The other night I was having a pity party for myself because things just weren't going my way. And then Ashley from Lil Blue Boo posted a video of how she spent her day. I quickly became ashamed of myself. If you haven't read her blog, you should start. I've never met her ( that would be awesome though;) but she is an inspiration to me. She is beautiful in more ways than one.

I might be living under a rock because tonight was a first for me but have you heard about the Beautiful & Bald Barbie FB Campaign? I LOVE this idea!

Let's show Mattel how amazing this would be... Click HERE to join the campaign!

I Challenge YOU!

2012-01-17T01:23:00.001-05:00

All those who have said the words "I need to get into shape" recently, say I.... I, I, I! I can't tell you how many times I have said that! So this year I decided not to wait for New Years, I decided to take on a CHALLENGE just before the holidays so I would gain any holiday poundage.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm thinking I'm not the only person in America looking to "get in shape."

What's your New Year's Resolution? This is what I've been up to...

I jumped on and took the 90 Day Challenge!

Have you ever heard of it? I figured I did the Reboot for 15 days... I can handle 90 days! It's been fun and the protein shakes taste amazing. I had to talk myself into taking before and after photos but once I heard the word "prizes", I was sold;)

I start my day usually with a shake like this...

8oz skim milk

5 frozen strawberries

2 scoops Visalus Shake mix

1 T sugar free white chocolate pudding mix

1 T sugar free banana creme pudding mix

Blend. Enjoy. Mmmm

I also got myself a ZUMBA pass! This girl can't dance so it has definitely been a new experience for me... not to mention a step outta my comfort zone but once I got over tripping over my feet... I hate to miss it! If you haven't tried it, find out about ZUMBA in your area!

Will it fit in my suitcase?

2012-01-14T01:19:00.002-05:00

Every time I go to my parents house, my lil sister always has something new I want to sneak into my suitcase... Do you think she would notice?
I guess I'll have to visit Pier 1 Imports very soon.

Closets just aren't for clothes

2012-01-12T01:00:00.000-05:00

It's time to clean out a closet and make this happen. Like today, well maybe tomorrow... but the guest room needs to be reorganized... & I need an office (like this;)

Do you Instagram it?

2011-12-10T17:31:00.001-05:00

I love the Instagram app, I can't not use it! It adds so much character to your photos... in just a little click:) So when I heard about Casetagram, I had to design one! You just sign in & it instantly shows all your photos from Instagram. My only problem was, I needed a new phone... Good thing I dropped mine;)

Check out the cover I designed, it's coming soon to my mailbox!

Legs!

The HAVVN DNA set is 100% chemical free & produces 100% results. Check out the photo below! Ever had a product that you don't leave home without? For me it's my HAVVN Night Cream. Don't get me wrong though, I use the whole set on a daily basis. (I haven't missed one night in the past year.) But the NIGHT CREAM is my favorite. The system is meant for helping you bring your youthfulness back but I use the night cream for everything. It has helped with sunburns, acne, scars... I've used it on my daughters diaper rash & my husband even used it on his mosquito bites the other day lol
The only way for you to believe it works, is to try it for yourself. I must warn you though, this system is 100% proven & has 100% results... So you just might not be able to go without it...
Havvn offers a preferred customer program & the cool thing is you can get products at the wholesale cost. Plus if you refer 3 friends to be preferred customers, you could get FREE product every month.. Worth it!

Day 15= DONE!

2011-09-30T11:40:00.006-04:00

This isn't me but maybe that should be my next challenge? However, today is the LAST day of my Reboot!!! That doesn't mean I'm DONE. I'm not going back to my old ways. My diet has been changed forever. I feel refreshed & energized. (and I fit into a size 3 pant!) When I'm on a "run".. I don't even have to stop & WALK! This wasn't easy but I would do it again. Thanks to ALL those that supported me on this!
I think it's so important to feed my family healthy non processed meals. This is a BLOG that I've been checking out & I'm going to try out some of her recipes. My family isn't quite on board with me yet but I'm slowly getting them used to it. Baby steps with them:)
All of you who have started the REBOOT, don't give up! You can do it! Keep me updated with your progress! Stop by our Facebook page! www.facebook.com/simplefinds

Here's a couple recipes. One is mine and the other is from a friend but both pretty tastey:)

Mornin' Sunshine- 2 oranges, 1 grapefruit, 1 peach, handful of grapes and strawberries

The Flem- tomato. cucumber. apple. celery. ginger. swiss chard. parsley. cilantro. yield - 1 quart- Super good way to start off your day!

Day 10- Bountiful Basket

2011-09-24T11:06:00.001-04:00

I feel a ton better today! I even jumped out of bed early to hit up Bountiful Baskets. If you haven't never heard of BB. Check out their site to see if it's offered in your area. It's pretty awesome. I scored ALL these fruits & veggies for 15 bucks! And they offer this EVERY week! Hmmm what to juice today;)

Day 8- Wake me up on Monday!

2011-09-22T11:16:00.002-04:00

Hello from my bed... This is where I've been the past few days. Now I know how Joe felt from "Fat, Sick & nearly dead." If you haven't seen that documentary, you must. Here's a link to view the trailer. CLICK HERE! I guess I should have read the fine print before starting this journey, not that it would have changed my mind about doing this BUT it would have made me more aware of this things that could happen. 1 word... DETOX. This site www.juicefasting.org , has a lot of helpful information. So if you're thinking about joining the Reboot, you'll know exactly what could happen. Or in my case exactly what will happen! If you're at this point... DRINK LOTS OF WATER.
Have you started the REBOOT? Let me know how you're doing!

Day 2 was cheezy

2011-09-18T00:01:00.006-04:00

Yesterday I craved peanut butter, today I craved cheese. But here's the shocker, I haven't craved treats! Not even once! Kinda interesting how when you're feeding you body the right raw foods, it forgets how badly I loved ice cream. Thankfully my pound cake thighs are getting slimmer:)
I've been asked a lot about my juicer. I chose to go with the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juicing Machine So far I love it. Although I haven't really tried any others, but I'd highly recommend it if you're ready to go raw!
I learned today that your kids will eat what you feed them! I've been trying to including them in juicing and today's recipe they love was...

2 peaches

2 carrots

2 pears

1 apple

7 strawberries

2 handfuls of spinach

Before I leave you with my theme song of the day... Go "like" our new page we set up just for juicing!! Get tips, learn where to start, post your experience & get advice!!!

Till tomorrow:)... Here's the theme song on the day

Clean out your closet lately?

2011-09-17T17:57:00.000-04:00

Recycling clothing seems to be the thing to do lately. It has for a while now, I guess but I'm just slow at actually doing it! I found this tutorial HERE the other day, pinned it & finally got around to cleaning out my closet.. which meant an excess of old t-shirts! So why not make a scarf right? It was super easy, took like 15min. You can make them long, short or use different colored shirts for some variety:)
