New Year New You | Time to Cleanse and Work On Your Health

Hi ya Gorgeous!
And...one day...left in 2018.

Holy smokes.  This year though.
I'm glad it's done.
It was in no way shape or form as harsh as 2017 though I'm still glad to be entering into the new season of 2019.

It's a side ways celebration for me because I ring in the new year on the Hebraic calendar, so technically for me, 5779 is 5 months in and now the Gregorian calendar is about to start.

No matter. I'm ready to celebrate no matter what! Speaking of celebrations - I've already begun my "new year new you" with some daily juicing to help rehydrate at a cellular level, add more fiber and boost my immune system as I prepare for a very busy season ahead to which I say, bring it on!




I use apple, celery and garlic for my 3 times a day juice - what's your favorite recipe for juice? Comment below! Now - cheers to you getting a jump start on a heart on a healthy new year! I love my Vitamix for making clean juices, you can get one here: https://amzn.to/2BLsYg2

How To Make Positive Christmas Memories That Last

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Tuesday!
It's a whirlwind of fun, celebration, volunteering and preparing for some upcoming Christmas travel for snowboarding and ice skating!

Thank goodness for the physical activities because around here, it's been all treats,cookies, and fancy froo froo coffees and cocktails. In short, the calories are abundant! I need some extra movement!

Which brings me to today's blog and video topic - I encourage you to take a moment and plan some family memory making activities so the focus is on engaging with each other in a meaningful way versus just zeroing in on a store bought gift.

Ideas such as:
1. Taking a family walk to "eye spy" a Christmas item
2. Walking/bicycling/driving a neighborhood for lights
3. Christmas cookie bake off and then trade doing an old fashioned cake walk with music
4. Go caroling to a neighbor and bring some of those cookies to gift
5. Hand make cards for one another using items in the house then share with a quick message of what you appreciate about that person

There are so many ways to make a memory without spending a lot



Thank you for tuning in today! If it's your first time here, welcome! If you are returning, welcome back! This video is a short word of encouragement to help you focus on what's good that's going on in a busy holiday season. From me to you - a very merry Christmas! Now go make some great memories!
