Post image for Nekter Juice Cleanse Diary

Last week I tried something new: a juice cleanse. The 3-day Nekter Juice Cleanse, to be exact. We’ve talked about juice cleanses here on the blog before, and it’s definitely something I’ve considered doing for a long time now, so I was really excited to take on this challenge. Here I’ll share my experience with the cleanse, and how it helped or affected me overall! Have you ever tried a juice cleanse? Which one? Let us know your thoughts, we would love to hear!

I've partaken in 3-day juice cleanses, but have a juicer and make my own juices for a fraction of the cost, with local, fresh ingredients. Here is a good one my health coach recommends: http://www.lacylike.blogspot.com/2012/03/ladies-gentlemen-you-may-start-your.html Click the links at the end of the post for the recipes, shopping list and other tips. One of my goals is to do a long cleanse and everyone I know who's completed one had said the first 4-5 days can be brutal, but around day 5 you get that euphoric feeling and keep going until your body tells you it's time to quit. It does change how things taste and you realize that certain (junk) foods that you thought were really good really aren't so good. I've also been incorporating green juice into my diet every day. As long as you're meeting your daily caloric requirements, it is perfectly safe. You never want to deprive yourself, so if you're feeling hungry or have a sweet tooth, drink any freshly made fruit or veggie juice that sounds appealing or have a handful of nuts, such as almonds. Another guilt-free treat is a warm glass of no sugar added almond milk with a little cinnamon and honey! Cheers to juicing!

I'm sorry but a juice cleanse it not a healthy idea. It's obvious considering you felt fatigued and you began to have a migraine that you were depriving your body of all the nutrients it needed to survive. Lean proteins, lots of vegetable and no processed foods are your way to be healthy. Being healthy is a lifestyle choice, not a 3 day thing.

Post image for How To Make Your Hair Grow

I’ve had long hair for as long as I can remember. Without it I’d feel like a totally different person! I feel that my hair is a huge part of me, and I love the versatility of having long hair – I can wear it a trillion different ways and never get bored. Going from long hair to short hair is easy – all it takes is a pair of scissors and a few minutes – but the transition from short to long isn’t quite so pleasant. If you’ve decided to grow your hair out, there are a few things you can do to speed up the process. Read more »

Hi Neethu. Transitions are hard! For many of us, it's in our nature to resist change. But they get us to another place in life, in your case literally as well as figuratively:) I like the way you sum it up. You're very welcome, Cosmo! Carleigh, that's so true about perfectionistic Virgos being a thing in horoscopes. I'm sure I'm guilty of writing about it sometimes. And you named one of the things I love most about astrology: the way it can validate our experiences. Thanks for reading, everyone, and happy solstice!!!
carleigh -Jun 17, 2013, 5:53PM
For about 3 months now, my horoscope has been spot on week by week. I generally hated my horoscopes when reading them in magazines, because as a virgo, all of them seemed to just highlight my perfectionism quality, rather than talk about anything that was actually happening in my life. I love the free people horoscopes. I come on the blog almost everyday and each sunday/monday I look forward to going on and seeing what my horoscope is for the week. It is like you know my life, and I love the fact that when it is written, everything that is happening seems to be ever more so true, and just validates what is happening in my life. Keep the horoscopes coming. Long story short, they are wonderful and very enlightening!

Post image for Neighbor: Behind The Scenes Of Our Short Film!

These behind the scenes shots from our latest short film Neighbor might be my favorite batch yet! They capture the atmosphere of the set to the point that you feel like you were there.  It’s also cool because watching the film, you really fall for the storyline and believe that these two people are actual neighbors who fall in love.  It’s funny to then see the inside of Jacques Naude’s apartment – which in reality is nothing more than a wall set up for the film! I also love the decor of Daisy’s place. It looks so charming, I’d love to live there in real life! Take a peek — and if you haven’t yet, be sure to watch Neighbor. Read more »
