I’m backkk!!!
This spring absolutely flew by! I fully intended to keep blogging throughout
the semester, until it became apparent that I couldn’t fit two part time jobs,
school work, running an organization, and having a life my senior spring all
into my schedule! Something had to give. But, that means that all semester I
have been compiling fun things to share with you!
So, here I
am. A college graduate! It hasn’t hit me yet, and I don’t suspect it will until
August when I am headed for grad school and not my beloved Miami. Until that
reality sets in, I am enjoying being home. I start a full time internship next
week, and am taking full advantage of these few days of rest to recover and
rejuvenate. College is fun, but it is exhausting! The past few weeks were filled
with finals, gatherings, packing, graduation, more packing, more parties,
moving, driving, moving things in to storage, driving, sitting, driving…etc.
Not my normal routine and my body can feel it. All of the extra graduation
celebration goodies, and sitting in the car left me feeling far from my usual
light self. I need a reset!
And so,
today, I started my very first 3 day Juice Cleanse! Basically, a juice cleanse
gives your body a break from any heavy foods while flooding it with nutrients.
Since your body doesn’t have to spend energy digesting, it can focus on
detoxifying, cleansing, and healing your system. Throughout our lives we
accumulate so many toxins both from our food and our environment. Why not do a
little spring cleaning?? The predicted benefits of glowing skin, bright eyes,
loss of bloating, along with a new sense of body awareness and optimism doesn’t hurt
either!
I chose to
order a cleanse which came as a complete ready to go package…The Cooler
Cleanse! When it comes to juicing and cleansing etc. , I figured with my first
time that I should leave it to the professionals to give me the perfect mix of
what I need. If I like it, I can then try and figure it out on my own! This
cleanse was developed by Salma Hayek and the founder of Juice Generation in New
York. It was expertly formulated, and gets wonderful reviews, including best
tasting cleanse. The 3 day Cooler Cleanse sends you a supply of 18 fresh
pressed, organic, vegan juices to drink over the 3 day period (6 a day). Each
day has a variety of fruit and vegetable juices, along with an almond milk
drink. Before the cleanse, one is supposed to prepare their body by cutting out
processed foods, meat, dairy, caffeine, bread, etc. Since I eat a whole foods ,
plant based diet and am mainly gluten free…this was not a problem for me. I’m
hoping that since my body is so used to fresh, unprocessed foods already that
this will be a lovely experience.
Only
time will tell!
The next few
days I will post recaps of my juice adventure. Wish me luck!
Be Well.
Love, Julie
