Since my last post sooo many things have changed in my life (3 years worth). For one-we welcomed a new addition to our family. I am now a mother to two boys. Ryan and baby Maverick. Academy of Glam has been named the number one school in the country to study professional makeup artistry, new cars have been purchased, moves have been made, family members have passed. I had my first (and last) Vegas experience and had the pleasure of cruising the Grand Cayman Islands and beautiful Jamaica! Red Stripe anyone? Needless to say-I've been one busy mama!
I'm happy to report that I can't complain about anything. I'm finally in a place where I'm content with life and enjoying its beautiful journey.
I've come to a few realizations the past few years, but especially this past year. During my most recent pregnancy with Maverick-I became very, very ill. In fact, my kidneys almost shut down due to serious reoccurring infections and other medical terms I don't care to try and spell out. It was a big eye opener for me and I promised myself that if I made it through the pregnancy I would treat my body like a temple and care for it the way it's supposed to be.
Working in the beauty industry I clearly have the advantage of hearing about countless 'weight loss' products and trust me- I've done my fair share of them. I would always lose weight using these get skinny fast products. In fact-I lost 53 pounds with one named HcG. It involves injecting a pregnancy hormone into your abdomen daily and consuming only 500 calories. Needless to say-I reached my goal weight but it should come to no surprise for you to know that I gained it all back...and then some.
So, I embarked on a mission to learn about how to change my life and health...for the better. I kept hearing about super foods this and super foods that but never really paid any attention to what people were saying. That is until I actually did my own research and learned that these 'super foods' have healing properties and literally heal your body from the inside out. Consuming these super foods are like consuming the earth's natural, medicinal remedies. After being pumped full of countless antibiotics and pain medications during my pregnancy I was pretty sure that I wanted to detox my body using...you guessed it...super foods! I was introduced to an incredible product named Purium and I instantly fell in love with it's history and theories. I began a 10 day cleanse/transformation using the Purium products and lost 13 pounds in those 10 days. I didn't begin the cleanse to "lose weight." Instead I did it to rid my body of all the left over chemicals and medicines that were lingering in my body from my pregnancy in addition to months upon months of poor eating habits. During the cleanse I literally would have internal arguments with myself and had to constantly remind myself why I even started the cleanse. I'm not saying it was easy- those 10 days were a mental challenge more than anything. The first 3 days all I could think about was how badly I wanted a glass of wine! lol I'm happy to say that I overcame my bad habits after those first 3 days and couldn't have been happier that I did. My hair and skin are literally glowing, I have no need for coffee as I have more energy without it...I felt and still feel...great!
I'm such a firm believer of this stuff and if you know me...if I love something I will never stop talking about it. I've never tried anything like it and can't speak more highly of this magical product. I can now confidently say I do believe in the power of "green" food and it's healing properties. I highly recommend you check it out for yourself as well. The best investment you can make is in yourself. If you don't, then who will?
