Current Obsession!!


I love my Juicer, like...Love! You may not think that has anything to do with health and beauty but of course it does. Healthy eating= healthy skin and a the healthy body. Healthy body= you fitting into the clothes you love! Anyway, I juice just about everyday. Juice is great for breakfast or a midnight snack and it's a great recovery drink after I workout. So basically I find reasons to juice :)

I had the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer ( a hand me down from my sis) until I burned the motor out (I guess that tells you how much I used it). It was a good machine, no complaints. They've made a few new models since this one, but this is the one I had.



I love this machine, it's really fast, the amount of juice is good and the cleanup is just a matter of unsnapping, rinsing each part and scrubbing the screen. The only complaint that I have is that it's so powerful that it doesn't do well with really soft fruits like rasberries and grapes. It also doesn't do leafy greens like kale and wheatgrass :(  Since it's not good at doing those things, I bought another juicer yesterday...a slow juicer by Omega. I'll put a video up tomorrow to show how the slow juicer works.

Today I used apple, carrot, celery and cucumber





I also added a tangerine :)
This is how much juice I got from all of those veggies

Simple Cleanup!

Current Obsession!!

Obsessive Usage

Ionix Diamond Drops Hair Serum
For the past 2 weeks my brush has had static= my hair has static. So, I was off on a search for a product that got rid of the frizz without weighing my hair down. I have natural hair so I have to be careful that anything that I put in my hair isn't greasy. I ended up buying Ionix Diamond Drops Hair Serum...this stuff sells for $20 on isobeauty.com and on other websites it's about $40. I found it at Marshalls for $5.50!! Yay :)

It took away the frizz, added shine and my hair was still light and non greasy! I used about nickel sized amount while my hair was dry but the box says you can use it on wet or dry hair.




Kenneth Cole Instant Shine Sponge
I wear lots of leather boots, loafers and oxfords during the winter time...I actually like it when my boots look worn, but not dirty and old. My boots always get scuffed up and the leather starts looking dry :(  Not Anymore! I used to polish my shoes with my dad's full on shoe shine kit. That process is pretty long and messy though. Clean the shoes, find the right color polish to match your shoes, rub the polish into the shoes, brush it smooth, then buff it for shine. (the polish always gets all over my clothes) WTF, that's too much, I just want to wear my boots! So, I now use an instant shine sponge. One step: Shine your boots. Woop Woop!

I got this one from Kenneth Cole but they also have them at most department stores.


This boot has not been shined...


This one has been shined!




The one on the left hasn't been shined, and the pretty one on the right has been :)


Look Of The Day

Headed to do some shopping for gifts (before Christmas)...even though I'm shoppoing for my family, I had to wear leggings just in case I wanted to try stuff on :) There's nothing worse than taking jeans on and off a million times, every time you want to try something on! I love this Cynthia Rowley bag because you can carry it on your arm, on your shoulder or across your body.



Blazer- Aritzia
Shirt- Prototype
Leggings- Zara
Boots- Migliorini
Bag- Cynthia Rowley
Watch- Michael Kors
Necklace- K'la
