Tropical Green

That's right you guys! Another juicing recipe that I found online and have feel in LOVE with. This is a green drink but it has a very tropical taste and doesn't require apples like a lot of the recipes that I found previously. I love the combination of the different fruits. This was an easy drink and has quickly became my fave so far.

Tropical Green

1/2 ginger thumb

4 leafs of kale

1 mango (without rind)

1 orange

1 cup of pineapple

Ginger Twist

So I have still been going pretty strong with juicing in my diet. I have only lost about six pounds, but I am still excited bout my new found love for healthy eating. I do have to be more persistent with finding time to workout, because with my bust schedule it's really easy to use that as an excuse to not work out as much as I need to. Either way I am still on my journey and I have no plans on turning back. I do know that this is a lifestyle change and I feel like I am well on my way.
So here is another juicing recipe that I have been enjoying. Its very exotic with a little hint of spice Check it out!

Ginger Twist

3 whole oranges (peeled)

1 whole pineapple

1/2 lime ( rind included)

1/2 ginger root

Feisty Fruit Punch

So I am searching high and low for some tasty juice recipes and I ran across this particular recipe online. I love the combination of the different fruits. It sounds really tasty and tropical and I absolutely love tropical fruits! So here is a  fun recipe for all of you who feel the same as I do. In this drink the taste of the pineapple and the oranges stand out the most so this was an easy "downer" if you know what I mean!

Feisty Fruit Punch

2 Medium Apples

4 Kiwifruit

1/4 Lemon (with rind)

1/4 Lime ( with rind)

2 Oranges (peeled)

1 Whole Pineapple

2 Cups of Strawberries

                                   

I think this has been the tastiest juice I have made so far. I want to try more with the strawberries and the pineapple (pineapple is my favorite fruit). I will continue to search for even better recipes for you ladies. So far the online side effect to me is a little head rush a couple minutes after I have drank a glass of juice. I have also been feeling like I have so much energy. Last night I could not fall asleep. I think the extra energy is great but not when it is time for me to go to sleep. I may  drink my last drink of the day around seven instead of eight so that I have enough time to burn the extra energy I am feeling.

Green Power Juice Recipe

Hello Glam'More-Us ladies, here is the second recipe that I am using for my juicing regime. I had previously shared with you guys another "green" juice recipe and I loved it, but the lemon made that particular drink really bitter. So here is another one without the lemon if you're like me and prefer not to have such a sour drink.

Green Power

2 whole apples

1 whole cucumber

1 Lime

5 cups Spinach (150g)

The lime used in this drink takes the bitterness of the lemon away. Lemon has nutrients in it that helps to increase you metabolism which made it an important addition to the previous recipe, but what good is it if you don't want to drink it? I hope you ladies enjoy this recipe.

Juicing My Diet

So 2013 is quickly coming to an end! I have a goal to lose at least thirty pounds before I walk across stage and truly complete my journey back to school! So I promised myself that I wouldn't wait to make it New Year's resolution, instead I am starting on my journey today! I started off in the beginning of my weigh-loss journey at 187 pounds. So let me first give you guys the history behind the extra pounds!

 So of course I started back at school in 2008 and enrolled into the evening and weekend program at a local  university. My weight at that time was 144 pounds! So with such a busy lifestyle of working three jobs, going to school, being a mother and keeping up with my motherly duties, study late night for exams and doing homework I began to put on the pounds!

I contribute my horrible diet and the fact that I skipped meals all day only to make up for them really late at night and getting straight into my bed. I mean I would eat anything that was quick and easy to make ( junk food). So it didn't help that I immediately went to sleep with no physical activity to burn off all of those calories!

 So here I stand today, I've lost a total of 15 pounds so far and I am still working towards my goal of thirty-five pounds lost. I have decided to add juicing to my healthy routine to help give me an extra health boost. I made my first "green" juice today and it was yummy, although I didn't care for the bitterness of the lemon I used. I actually documented my first juicing experience on camera, so if you guys would like to see it check it out on my YouTube channel at :

So below are the ingredients of my very first juice recipe:

Beginners Green Juice

3 Medium Sized Apples 

5 Stalks of Celery 

1 Whole Lemon ( including rind) 

1 Large Orange (peeled)

8 Handfuls of Spinach (200g)

Below are some pictures of my first juicing experience. It was lots of fun and I determined to do this for 21 to 30 days. I will be substituting breakfast, snack and dinner for juice and eating one complete meal for lunch.

Accessorized

I am always in search for the perfect accessories. I can never settle for the latest trend or classic look either.I have been known to search high and low for the perfect accessory, whether it be earrings or a bracelet, or even a scarf. Sometimes I'm lucky but oftentimes I go home empty handed. I love ethnic, geometric or unusually shaped pieces. I think that they stand out and speak to onlookers about my creative side. What urges you to purchase accessories? Is it the colors or do you prefer them to be filled with shiny stones? I am indeed a "perfect" accessory seeker, take a look at some of my pieces!
