Found some lovely kitchen gadgets, while browsing http://pinterest.com/ and thought I'd share some of these wonderful little inventions!
You know what to eat. We all know what to eat. But sometimes, we get a little distracted, a little bored, a little emotional, a little rebellious... and a little food-fatigued. Sometimes, we just want someone to tell us what to eat.
Lucky for you, I love to share. This three-day menu is from a 6-week cleanse program I run three times per year. It's food-based and jam-packed with phytonutrients, amino acids, Omega 3's and other nutrients that just make you feel good! If that's not enough to motivate you, two thirds of the group consistently loses 8 pounds in the first week. (And they keep it off!) Follow the plan for three days, then repeat. The next day is Christmas. Give Santa your milk and cookies.

With all the hustle, bustle and activity during the holidays it's so hard to keep in your exercise regime.
Don't allow the 'outside' to consume you fully. Give yourself those few minutes just to reflect and gather all your sprayed thoughts. I like to wake up early, and have my 'me' time while everyone else is still in dream land. It's a nice tranquil time to do some yoga, meditate and have a relaxed breakfast. It's also a brilliant way to start the day, refreshed, revived and ready for anything. I know it can be so hard to wake up early, but if you discipline yourself, and do it for a few days, and once the routine begins, it really does becomes so easy. So go to bed a little earlier, and try a morning routine, it really is lovely! |
