Fat Sick and Nearly Dead 2 year celebration!

A juicing revolution. If you remember at the start of my juicing, I referenced the Reboot with Joe website. Another blogger had mentioned that site as a great source of info and I really liked it.  That site was where I went for encouragement to continue, where I went to ask questions, (there was a nutritionist forum that I asked several questions at) and where I went to celebrate. There was one aspect that I missed though. I think I [...]

It’s been nearly a week now since I’ve started eating solids again. Because I’ve been eating a lot of salad, I thought I would share my homemade tomato basil vinaigrette recipe with you all.

Favorite Juicing Recipe. Week 3 of Juice Fast

favorite juicing recipe

I’ve made it through 3 weeks of the juice fast! And I though I would share my favorite juicing recipe with you all. My favorite juicing recipe: It’s super easy to make, you will need: (makes 2 servings) 2 pears 2 fennel bulbs 2-4 cups of spinach The original recipe called for just the pear and fennel, but because you should have a 80-20 percent ratio of veggies to fruits, I decided to “hide” some spinach in it. The taste [...]

Sailing in Key West

sailing in Key West

While on vacation we like to experience new things. One was the the time we went sailing in Key West. The other thing we really enjoyed was snorkeling but I could share photos of that. Sooo, we went sailing. Not once, or even twice, but three times!  Admittedly there was a “frequent sail” program that make the second trip cheaper and the third one free, but still, we really enjoyed it. Enough that I am designating a whole post to [...]

Woolzies-A Money Saving Ball!

Woolzies Dryer Balls

About two months ago, I read a review on Woolzies.  Woolzies are natural, chemical free dryer balls from wool. I remembered thinking I would love to try them out. Two weeks later it was shared on Facebook that the company was looking for a few bloggers to review and giveaway a 6 pack of Woolzies! I already had high expectations of Woolzies because of the review I had read. So I was excited to get them in the mail and [...]

Natural Remedy for Acid Reflux

DSCN5456

A couple of months ago I began experiencing severe discomfort in the back of my throat. Now having never experienced acid reflux, or heartburn for that matter I didn’t immediately realize what I was suffering from. I started watching what I ate and right away noticed that highly processed foods such as white bread, fake butter and white sugars made it much worse. After about two weeks of dealing with this, it was time for hubby and I to go [...]
