The Weekly Squeeze: A Clear Skin Concotion

juicing for clear skin

I know I’ve been complaining lately about my skin, but I am glad to say it’s finally on the road to recovery (fingers crossed I didn’t juice jinx mysel). Which may be partly due to the new juice I’ve been chugging.

Last weeks juice was a little too heavy with veggies and garlic. It did not sit well with me and I tasted it all day. Sick. So, when this week rolled around and it was time to craft up a new juice, the thought of chugging something similar to gazpacho made me gag. I needed something delicious and fruity. This juice seemed ideal as it only needed 3 tasty ingredients and is meant to help clear up skin issues. Done and done.

It’s my new fave. 

To sum up why this combo is so good for your complexion:

+ Pineapple contains manganese. It’s a vitamin that our bodies just can make, but are super good for us. They are especially good when it comes to healing wounds and maintaining your skins over all health.

+ The granny smith and the red delicious are the BEST for your skin as they contain the most collagen and elastin. Which as you can image from the names, are great for keeping your skin looking young and wrinkle free.

+ Cucumbers, one of my favorite vegetables, is chock full of Vitamin C. This powerful vitamin helps boosts the amount of collagen your body produces.

CHEERS!!!

Black is the New Black

Black will always and forever be the new black.

& I can’t give it up, I literally think I am addicted to black. It’s my security blanket. Even with the weather change, the thought of wearing neon or pastels just makes me cringe. Black is chic, it looks good on everyone, and it’s my fave color. I also like white, or black and white together. Color though, it’s just… so bright.

I made a resolution come 2013 to try to incorporate more color in my life, and if a piece came in more than one color, I’d pick anyone but black. That was a total fail real quick….

If you like colors, please don’t take offense to this post. I still wear them once in a while (except pink, never. Ick.). 

P.S. I want to wish a big HBD to my bff, Lauryn. Head over to her site and give her some B-day loving!!!

P.P.S You will see below my brand new sexy body chain from Hearts!! They are offering all my lushes a 30% discount on all purchases with the promo code LUSH30! Check it out and treat yourself to something fab.

This & That

cacti

+ The entry table to my abode. +

Can you guys believe Summer is almost here? I seriously can’t grasp that yet. Time, once again, has passed far too quickly.

& I am not going to lie… the transition has been draining me of any fashion creativity.

I guess I have been so used to rocking flannels/leggings/leather/black/beanies that I am having a hard time adjusting. Seriously, I have been wearing flip flops way more than usual and it’s grossing me out. I don’t do flip flops. Sandals, maybe. But rubber flip flops? Who am I kidding? It’s sick.

I am now pledging, officially, to dodge flip-flops like the plague.

If you too are just starting to put your jackets to the back of your closet and your flowy frocks to the front, feel free to share with me some of your changing-of-the-seasons fashion tips. I am sending out an SOS.

P.S. HAPPPPPY MONDAY! xx

+ Note to friends & family: If someone wants to pop the question one day, suggest a ring such as the one above. Who likes normal anyways? +
