    The Beautifier Smoothie

    Jul 30, 2016 • Menstrual Phase, Smoothies and Juices

    VEGAN. The 'Beautifer Smoothie' rich with antioxidants, healthy omega's and nutrient-dense kale. Get coupon code for 3 free smoothies with your first order! Choose from 14 flavors.

    Today’s post on the ‘Beautifier Smoothie’ is SO fun AND I have a coupon code at the end for 3 free smoothies that you don’t want to miss!

    But first… something happened to me this past weekend that hasn’t happened in over 2 years…

    I got sick…

    Pretty amazing how the 2-year timeline just so correlates with when I decided to go vegan overnight… coincidence much?! Maybe… but I’d like to credit all those glowing fruits, veggies and superfoods that kept up my immunity, because I used to get sick a few times a year! Feeling achey and feverish on Sunday night, I knew I was coming down with something nasty. After driving home from the lake house Monday morning, it totally hit me… I was in bed ALL day. Whatever this sickness is took me OUT. Sorta felt like the flu with fever, chills, pounding headache, sore throat and a gnarly cough.

    Come Tuesday I was still feeling miserable but had to get work done, so I forced myself out of bed and started feeding my body healing vitamin-rich plant foods. I hate medicine and antibiotics – but that’s a story for another day. By Wednesday I was feeling a million times better! Proper nourishment and extra hydration is KEY when you’re feeling sick and definitely speeds up the healing process. 

    So what did I eat to feel better??!

    First let’s talk about what I drank. Lots and lots of lemon water, turmeric glow lemonade and fresh fruit smoothies. 

    Throughout the day I blended 2 ready-made smoothies from Daily Harvest. Anything cold and icy to cool down my fever (I even stuck my head in the freezer a few times to cool off… LOL). Smoothies were the only thing that sounded appetizing, plus their packaging caught my eye right away. I’m a sucker for anything instagram worthy so when a brand’s packaging is on point I gravitate immediately… #sucker

    I love how they ship the frozen pre-made smoothies to your door so you don’t have to prep anything when you’re feeling super lazy, are in a rush, or in my case, are feeling icky sicky. Just add any liquid base you want, blend until smooth, then pour in the same cup the ingredients came in.

    Could it be any easier?!

    I knew you guys would love Daily Harvest because:

    • they use organic fruits, greens, veggies and unrefined superfoods
    • produce is picked at peak maturity; then farm frozen to preserve nutritional density 
    • 14 smoothie flavors to choose from; all developed by a nutritionist
    • whole food ingredients come pre-portioned in reusable cups

    VEGAN. The 'Beautifer Smoothie' rich with antioxidants, healthy omega's and nutrient-dense kale. Get coupon code for 3 free smoothies with your first order! Choose from 14 flavors.

    I first chose the (very appropriate) ‘immunity’ flavor and turned it into a smoothie bowl by adding extra frozen banana, a little almond milk (and turmeric for a boost). The ingredients pack in tons of Vitamin C, including Camu Camu berry, which has 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange and is the highest documented source of Vitamin C. They call it natures prescription. Tropical tasting and mildly sweet! I topped this ‘immunity bowl’ with half of a passion fruit, fresh blueberries, hemp seeds and organic coconut chia granola.

    Later in the day, I was feeling the ‘Beautifier’ flavor with glow-inducing aca? berries, antioxidant rich blueberries, nutrient-dense kale and more. They call it the Berry Explosion, I think it tastes like an aca? bowl mixed with blueberry ice cream. The aca? is a natural energy booster and packs a punch of Vitamin C, heart healthy omega’s, fiber and antioxidants. It’s similar to my usual everyday smoothie with berries, bananas and greens, so I knew right away this would be one of my faves.

    Don’t they all look amazing?! Check out their other flavors too.

    Aside from the smoothies, I mostly lived on fresh watermelon, my homemade pretty pink popsicles, rice and beans with avocado and crackers. Weird combinations… but simple and easy is the way to go when you’re sick.

    If you want to try Daily Harvest (which you definitely should to save time and take the thinking/mess out of smoothie prep) then use my code below!

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

    after a lot of soul searching.. I almost gave up after a lot of soul searching..

I almost gave up on my dream of being a SAHM while having an income. I thought I would have to choose one or the other. My head was spinning about it. But right before I gave up, an opportunity to sell naturally-based haircare products landed in my lap. Immediately it felt right.

Since then, my confidence has soared because I’ve been able to foster my independence and identity apart from being a mom. Mentally, this has been life-changing. I love being a mama more than anything and I also love having my own thing. My own business to build. My own income. I’ve realized you really can have the best of both worlds. I’m not just saying that mamas. 

Yes it takes work and time to build a business but it’s YOURS and no one else’s. We are so powerful when we put our minds to something. And so productive because we don’t have time to waste. 

If you’ve been looking for something like this and want more information on what this partnership would look like, just DM me BIZ and we can chat about it 🩷🩷🩷
