Common Ground

Kind of funny how people connect now. I posted some pictures of my flare ups on Instagram and because of that 5 different people contacted me suggesting what helps them or asking me questions. Kind of nice to know I'm not alone in this torture.

Not sure what it was but last Monday...HUGE flareup! My skin was SOOOOOO itchy! So that night I took a 30min apple cider vinegar bath soak and washed my hair with Dermarest. Night and Day! My head wasn't too scaly and only mildly itched. { insert thankful thoughts }

JUICE CLEANSE
Next weekend I am going to start a juice cleanse for 3 days. I heard that will help kind of restart my body. Do not think of signing up for BluePrint because I have the recipes. 3 days at BPC would cost me $240 bucks when you add shipping.....I'm sorry I just can't do that! $65/day equals $11 per bottle!

Right now I am prepping for it, which will make it easier.

3 Days before – If you eat meat, you should phase it out now - lightly steamed or poached fish, with veggies and a salad of course!

2 Days before - Green salads should be your staple at this point. If you’re craving some more sustenance, you may choose a bit of plain brown rice, or a yam or sweet potato.

1 Day before - Raw or lightly steamed vegetables, e.g. spinach, broccoli; try and avoid the more starchy veggies like carrots, beets, squash etc. You may also have a raw green leafy salad with some vegetables.

I'm trying out all the drinks in the meantime to get my taste buds ready. In case you were wonder...the juicer I have and LOVE is Breville Juice Fountain Plus!!! It is the easiest tool ever to use and cleanup is a snap!

In this link I have created is a PDF doc for the drink recipes, a grocery list for the 3 days, and a schedule.

Did I ever mention how I love having a William-Sonoma outlet in town. Their big 40% off sale was this weekend so I bought several kitchen tools for practically NOTHING! Finally replaced my broken cheap tongs for nice compact tongs ($6)and melted cheap spatula for nice ones spatulas ($6), splurged on a lettuce knife ($2) and collapsible colander ($7){Note my original price is already lower due to it being an outlet}.
