Why Spring Cleansing is Important for Your Health

Spring is officially here.  The chill of winter is starting to fade and we are all starting our annual ritual of Spring Cleaning. I know I started this week.  There is something so gratifying about getting reorganized, getting rid of clutter and making everything sparkle like new.

You should treat your body no differently.  If you are like 90% of America, you over enjoyed yourself over the Holidays and may have put on the traditional 5 pounds.  For New Years you made a resolution to eat clean and exercise regularly. Then... life got busy and you slowly started working out less and convenient foods started to find their way back into your diet. The days are getting warmer, and bathing suit season is creeping closer and you realize that you really need a jump start. The days are getting warmer, and bathing suit season is creeping closer. Now is the perfect time to think about cleaning up your diet as well.

So what a perfect time to join our 30 Day Spring Cleaning!!

Sexy is who you are

 

I talk with women everyday about their issues with their bodies.  At times it breaks my heart to hear how hard women can be on themselves.  I think it is important to remember that we were all created different for a reason.  We were also all blessed with some features or what we consider a blessing but an not with others, which always seems to be the feature we wish we had. Some women have long lean legs, others, myself included, have shorter, thicker legs. The trade off? I was blessed with strong fast legs....remember that Shakeria song?  Some were blessed with a larger fuller chest, some well, not so much. However, what I have was perfect capable of feeding my daughter and probably 10 other kids had  I needed to. (Sorry for the TMI) I also save a lot of money on bras and what not. As I am ok with having nothing so why bother.  AND I can wear any top I like. In exchange since I don't carry a lot of body-fat on my front half I have a nice flat stomach....well we will see what happens after baby number 2. I do however carry most of my body-fat on my back half.  Which means no matter how lean I get I will always have cellulite *Gasp*.  Yup and bless my daughter at 3 years old hers had not gone away but it is so darn cute.  It may mean that I have to watch what I eat a little more closely to keep it under control but it also means that I have a nice round tush  a la J Lo. I speak with clients all the time who what to be thinner and they have been blessed with this amazing voluptuous body.  If only they knew what I would do for some added curves on my body.  I have always wanted longer thicker hair as mine is Irish thin. However, no matter what climate I am in I can wash, condition, comb, air dry and not touch it again.  Thanks to a great stylist that knows my hair and my style I have a true wash and wear cut.  I can not imagine taking an hour to dry my hair.  Lastly I lived most of my life in South Florida where I chased the perfect tan with my perfectly freckled Irish skin that had no business being in the sun.  Over the years I have learned to accept my fairness and well thank God for Loreal's Sublime tanning lotion.
