DIY Cleanse

Feeling bloated, heavy and want to get rid of excess water weight? Well here is a easy DIY cleanse. This mixture can be used in place of any fluids you drink throughout your day but continue eating your regular diet. You can either make 60oz or 1 gallon depending on how much you want to drink throughout the week. Yes this is a one week cleanse. This cleanse was started by Jillian Michaels.

Here's the ingredients you will need:
60oz or 1 gallon of distilled water
Lemon juice
Pure cranberry juice (not concentrate!)
2 tea bags of either dandelion root, green tea or a healthy tea (flavor of your choice)

Steps:
1. Gather your distilled water
2. 2 tablespoons of pure cranberry juice
3. 2 tea bags (let sit for 5-7 mins)
4. Shake
5. NOT NEEDED: if the mixture is not sweet enough, mix in some packets of splenda

Enjoy!

Spring 2012 Trends

I don't necessarily like to follow the trends when it comes to fashion/ beauty but I love some of the trends that are popping up for spring.

1. Neon nail polish
2. Cat eye (winged liner)
3. Floral patterns
4. Bright jeans (pink, blue, peach)
5. Bright heels to pair with the perfect outfit
6. Wild shaped and colored sunglasses
7. Bright colored clutches and purses (Target)

These are just some of the trends for the spring and summer. I can't wait till the weather gets warmer and I can rock some of these amazing trends. Bright neon colors can be scary but paired with neutral colors can add a pop of color to your wardrobe. What are some of your spring fashion/beauty trends?
