Lose 2 Inches in 2 Weeks with 2 Steps

You heard me right, 2 inches in 2 weeks!  I am always looking for ways to trim down in a healthy and natural way.  Yo-yo diets will never work, but I do believe in little tips and tricks that can advance and help with the process of getting to a more fit you.  After hitting the beach a month ago, I realized I wanted to take a few inches off my mid-section, but unlike my previous post DIY Body Sculpting (see here), I wanted a pure organic way to achieve the same results.

Step 1:  Water
I know that seems simple and almost too easy, but water will get the toxins in your body moving and help eliminate them.  There are a few things you should know about water and the most effective times to drink it.

My first recommendation would be to drink 1-litre of water upon rising in the morning.  I usually brush my teeth first and then chug 1-litre of water before doing anything else.  I promise you that "things" will get moving really fast (if you know what I mean).  This is beneficial on every level and imagine starting your day lighter and more energized, plus you're flushing toxins and allowing yourself to absorb nutrients you may take in throughout your day.

Secondly, always carry a water bottle with you.  You should be drinking at least half of you body weight in ounces, ex. you weigh 140 lbs., you should be consuming 70 ozs.  of water.  I usually top mine off with either chlorophyll or apple cider vinegar, but those are my personal preferences.  I like that chlorophyll serves as a natural internal deodorizer and ACV helps boost energy.  Again, these are my personal choices, but the water is the most important part.

Lastly, make sure you are using a quality water.  I prefer alkaline water (pH higher that 7) or distilled water.  This way you know your body is absorbing the bulk of the water and helping eradicate the junk in our system. 

Step 2: Cardio
Cardio doesn't have to be a super strenuous process, but you must make sure it counts.  Get at least 30 minutes of good cardio each day.  You can do this on your lunch break, have a brisk walk.  Also try jumping rope or jumping jacks during times when you find yourself being idle, ex. while watching television).

As long as you stay consistent and above all, think and be positive, you will get results.  Let me know how your 2 weeks turns out.  Do you have and healthy tips to add?

Va-Jay-Jay Friday: WaterWorks

Well Hello There:

Yes, it is Friday and you know what is coming next week, that’s right… Valentine’s Day! And with Valentine’s Day comes a little more attention to our loved ones, you know… “the do!” So let’s keep this post ALL the way real. Ladies, I know this is SUPER taboo, but I have to talk about it because we want your Valentine’s Day to go over smoothly. So what is it you ask, well… your Va-Jay-Jay!

That’s right I said it darn it! We all know how important it is to keep it right down there, from the waxing to the exfoliating and cleansing, we tackle it all, but I am going to help you out even more. When it comes to the interior of your “lady” there are certain criteria you must meet to keep her sweet and happy. There are so many misconceptions on how to care and clean our friend, but I have a wonderful product along with some helpful tips that will naturally keep you fresh and clean, not only for V-Day, but EVERY day! My little secret, WaterWorks.

WaterWorks is a stainless steel and water system that eliminates the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) that cause odor. The combination of a stainless steel soap bar and tap water is used by chefs as the most effective way to eliminate odors such as garlic, onions and fish from the hands of food preparers. WaterWorks uses the same principle to reduce or eliminate vaginal odor. WaterWorks is safe, effective, FDA cleared and clinically proven not to upset the delicate balance of the vaginal ecosystem. No prescription is required and I highly recommend it. Take my advice and check the site for yourself! This product is for everyone; it keeps your pH intact and is a great way to clean inside and out!

Unlike some misleading posts out there, it is not wise to use soaps or perfumes on your “lady!” That will only upset her more. There is also controversy over the use of douching systems, and although I would not recommend a traditional douche, WaterWorks uses a system unlike the over the counter methods, it is only water for goodness sakes! Last, but not least, remember that vaginal health starts within. Cut back on the caffeine, drink plenty of water, and be careful not to eat foods that may result in you being less than yummy! You’ll thank me later.
