3 Day Plant-Based Cleanse



The 3 Day Refresh is a great way to restart your body. It's an all-natural plant-based cleanse...so it's not taxing on your organs.


HOW do you know you need a cleanse?
- You feel sluggish
- You're craving junk food ...
- You're constipated and bloated 
- You're breaking out 
- You have brain fog
- Your mood is down
- You keep getting sick
WHEN can you do this cleanse?
- Whenever you need it (No more than once a month.) (Always check with your doctor first-pregnant or lactating women should not do this cleanse, as the caloric intake will be low.) 
- Before a new meal plan or workout...it will jump-start your body to reach your goals. 


OTHER ways to detox
- Drink lots of water 
- Drink herbal detox tea (ex. dandelion root)
- Warm lemon water and organic apple cider vinegar 
- Incorporate more fiber into your diet (I eat flax and blueberries almost everyday.)
- Take an Epsom salt bath 
- Sweat it out

Morning Detox



This is usually my morning detox. Why?
~It's important to drink WATER as soon as you wake up. It wake up your insides and boost your metabolism. You should drink at least half you body weight in ounces a day.
~Today I infused BLUEBERRIES. They are high in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber.
~It's always nice to have something warm to drink in the morning. HERBAL TEA is my go-to. Yogi Detox with dandelion root is my fave!
~A shot of organic APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. Not going to lie, it's disgusting. Just take it to the head. It's a great detoxifier and ph balancer. There are so many more benefits, though.

Till You Collapse




Seriously love this song. If you need some motivation to get going or to KEEP going, listen to "Till I Collapse" by Eminem. I swear it's good. It's an also a great pacer for running.

An Important Message From Yours Truly - Body Shaming

I’m just going to put this out there. Stop the body shaming! Just because a girl is skinny and has small boobs, doesn’t mean she’s not a “real woman.” Just because a girl has lots of curves and big boobs, doesn’t mean she is “fat”. Also, just because someone is skinny or big, doesn’t mean they are or are not healthy. You have one body to live in – take care of it and be PROUD of yourself! Never compare yourself to anyone else. Be comfortable in your own skin and know that everyone has different genetics.  It’s all about being STRONG and HEALTHY for me!
