Friday Favorites: Green Juice, Facials & Cleansing

[source]

Oh hey fellow Healthy Chicks, and Happy Friday! Let’s just cut to the chase and go over what I’m lovin’ this week. Here goes:

Mega Green: This green juice blend by “Simply Nutritious” is surprisingly mega-tasty as well. I spotted it in the Whole Food’s aisle last night and decided to pick some up. Packed with nutritious ingredients like peach puree, spirulina and barley grass, broccoli and spinach power, this Mega Green juice is Healthy Chick’s approved for sure.

Facials: You may be shocked, but I went 24 years of my life without getting a facial. That is, until this past week. I officially had my first Cool Beam facial at Exhale Spa, and am definitely hooked. Who knew how relaxing a facial could be? From the steaming to the “Cranberry Crush” exfoliating mask, to the cool beam light therapy treatment, I was in pure bliss. I will definitely be back for more of that!

Cleansing: I’m not a huge fan of diet cleanses, you know the Cayenne Pepper celebrity fad or eating only raw foods. However, I’m totally all for going on a temporary cleanse that is right for your body. For me, that means cutting out sweets, dairy, processed foods of any kind, salty foods, gluten, corn, and alcohol for 10 days. I will eat whole fruits and vegetables, oats, raw agave, green juices, egg whites, raw nuts and nut butters, TONS of water and herbal tea. I’m also going to allow myself one cup of black coffee a day, because it’s really not worth the torture for me. I want to be feeling good on this cleanse after all.

What are your favorites this week? Have you ever gone on a cleanse? What was that like for you?
