GET phABULOUS!

 
School is starting and our bodies need some lovin' so that we can get back into the swing of things! 
Here are some helpful tips to clean up your life and live with healthy intention!


1. Get Juicing! There is no wrong way about it. Blend, juice or vitamix it up! Your body needs an alkaline diet to thrive.
Eat mostly perishable foods like clean organic fruits and veggies. Stick to lean poultry or fish and less red meats and dairy if you are non-vegetarian. Skip the frozen section and the middle isles at the store so that you don't buy the "dead" foods that don't serve your body. Take a multi-vitamin, probiotics and omega-3 oil for phABULOUS SKIN!!!!


2. Find a trainer to get your bod in shape! My trainer Lisa Allen has rocked my world! No matter how many times I said I could do it myself, I have never made more progress in so little of time than I have with her. There are other trainers at Studio Alpha (the gym I workout at) that will help you get in shape and stay in shape!

3. Give your house a dream clean and save money by using non-toxic cleaners!
Here is a sad but true story...last year I cleaned my bun-bun's crate out and sprayed it with Lysol deodorizer, then left it outside in the Sun for a day, thinking it was ok. I put my bun-bun back in her crate and she died in less than 24 hours!
I was so heart-broken, so make your own cleaners please! Here are some ideas...

baking soda=cleans, deodorizes, scours
distilled white vinegar=cuts grease, removes mildew, removes stains
hydrogen peroxide=disinfect, remove stains
lemons=effective against most household bacteria, great for surfaces
corn starch=clean windows, polish furniture, shampoo carpets
natural liquid soap my favorite is Dr. Bronner's!
Tea Tree Oil=all purpose cleaner and controls mold. 10 drops/1 0z. of H20
club soda=lift stains
beeswax=polish wood
olive oil=polish wood
pine oil=cleaning soft wood floors
salt=scrubbing
essential oils=pleasant scents 5-7 drops/1 oz. of water. Great for the bathroom!
