    What I Ate Wednesday

    Feb 22, 2017 • What I Ate

     

    Hello my sweet friends!

    As per usual, we have another What I Ate Wednesday, plant based vegan style.

    Hope your week is going fab! Let’s get into my yummy eats. 


    HYDRATION:

    Every single morning, water, water water, before anything else, as you guys already know!

    I make sure to drink 24 ounces (3 cups) of filtered water every single morning, sometimes with 1/2 lemon. I use this ginormous mason jar all day every day because no one cup is ever big enough?? Plus, I can measure out my water intake and try to drink 3 mason jars filled with water per day. Water helps to rehydrate the body after a long night?s rest when we get dehydrated and is so essential to wake up the body and start on the right track. Also, my skin looks so much smoother and stays clear!

    Forgot to add spirulina powder like last week, but oh well. Read more on that here.

    Then a couple cups coffee… hashtag coffee addict, with my fave non-dairy creamer and you guys ask me all the time which I use ? the Silk Almond Vanilla Flavored Creamer (check out my superfood coffee elixir recipe too!).

    BREAKFAST:

    My typical berries and greens smoothie with:

    2 huge handfuls of baby kale
    2 ripe & spotty bananers
    1 cup frozen mixed berries
    1 scoop Vega Protein and Greens (in the Berry flavor)
    1 teaspoon maca powder
    1/2 cup filtered water
    1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

    SNACK: 

    A little while later, when working on my Meal Plan eBook (!!), I snacked on blueberries (not pictured) and a few no-bake energy balls, except instead of the PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder, I swapped in cacao powder and then rolled them in cacao powder too. Perfect for a healthy chocolate fix!!

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was a similar version of my Hippie Macro Glow Bowl, with kale, quinoa, tempeh, steamed broccoli, cucumber and ginger tahini sauce. SO BOMB. Macro bowls are giving me life.

    Here’s the recipe for my Ginger Tahini Sauce (makes 4 servings for the week! 1/3 cup per serving):

    • 1/2 cup tahini
    • 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or more, to taste)
    • pinch of sea salt

    *Whisk all ingredients together until creamy!

    SNACK:

    For a little pre-workout fuel, I snacked on a fuji apple with a cinnamon toast rice cake! Obsessed. All the sweet snacks today 🙂

    DINNER:

    After a brutal back workout at the gym with Terry, he came over for dinner so I made lentil tacos, which I’ve been testing for my meal plan eBook. So yummy! Just a mix of lentils, bell pepper, zucchini and taco spices in corn tortillas with romaine, avocado, red cabbage and jalape?o. We also snacked on chips and salsa while I was making them!

    I snuck in a handful of vegan chocolate chips afterward too… it’s been quite the hormonal week ha. Oh, also, a glass of CALM tea before bed!! Been having this every night lately 🙂

    ?

    Hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday! 

    Did you make anything yummy this week?! Leave me a comment below!

    Also, if you?re ever wanting to look at past ?What I Ate? posts, they?re archived under the ?What I Ate? category.


    I love seeing your creations! Let me know if you tried any of my recipes and snap a pic of your gorg creation on instagram with the hashtag #theglowingfridge! Tag me in your pics on Facebook too so I can see them!

    Love you guys!

    They don’t actually do anything 😵‍💫 You They don’t actually do anything 😵‍💫

You might think your coconut oil or argan oil are helping to heal your hair when it reality they don’t have a small enough molecular structure to deeply penetrate or repair from within. So they just sit there. And they’re difficult to wash out. Not to mention many of the popular hair oils are extremely flammable and synthetic 🔥 you don’t want to be putting this on your scalp ladies!

Rejuveniqe Oil is a light, non-greasy combination of 13 clinically proven rare oils & ingredients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and powerful nutrients. Think Abyssinian, carrot seed and meadowfoam oils. It’s perfect for all skin and hair types because of its unique structure. This oil mimics the body’s own oils to absorb more deeply and moisturize more effectively. It helps balance greasiness or dryness, depending on what your scalp needs ✨ and can be used as a skin & lip hydrator too 👄

On dry hair, this unique intensive treatment (without harmful silicones) can be used to:

• balance natural oils
• improve scalp texture
• hydrate & feed the scalp
• reduce itching, flakiness & skin irritation
• shinier, polished hair
• provide anti-aging benefits
• stimulate hair growth

Do you struggle with a greasy or dry/itchy scalp? Comment OIL to get started on weekly oil treatments 🦄🦄🦄

    IT’S TRUE ✨ I want to help more mamas be home IT’S TRUE ✨

I want to help more mamas be home with their babies. I want to help more women feel empowered to make money online. It’s the way of the future and social selling is just getting started. I want to help more stay at home mamas feel like it’s OKAY to want to have your own money to get your nails done and buy the organic groceries and expensive healthy snacks and get hydrafacials once a month. It’s okay to want more and it’s okay to want to take care of yourself. 

I do affiliate marketing too, but I make more in network marketing. Why? Because we have higher commissions (15-30%), bonuses and return customers due to it being a consumable product that people are obsessed with. You’re already sharing your collagen and electrolytes and favorite supplements… It’s a no brainer to also share the transformative vegan haircare you’re using. 

🚀🚀 Comment READY or fill out my opportunity form to see if it’s a good fit.

    ARE YOU OILY? If you’re dealing with oily roots ARE YOU OILY?

If you’re dealing with oily roots and product buildup it’s time for a DEEP cleanse to rebalance.

Oftentimes when we’re oily it actually means our scalp is lacking moisture and overproducing oil to try and make up for it. Or it’s hormonal and needs to be managed. This calls for DEEP cleansing washes and oil treatments to get the scalp back to a better place.

My scalp scrub is the SECRET SAUCE. It purifies the oil and removes the residue that’s weighing your hair down without stripping or harsh ingredients. It dissolves dead skin cells, stubborn buildup and removes pollutants while infusing with moisture. You use your custom shampoo and conditioner after 👏🏻 

Let’s get your scalp healthy, happy and balanced again. Say goodbye to harsh clarifying treatments (been there done that).

    A LOT can happen in a year 🥲 Your life can com A LOT can happen in a year 🥲

Your life can completely change and turnaround for the better. But you have to do something different and step out of your comfort zone. Get out of your safe bubble. Before I joined this business I was a lonely new mama trying to figure out motherhood and making the decision to be a full time stay at home mama. It was the best decision I ever made. I still wanted something more though. I knew there were ways to make money online but my ways of affiliate marketing were not enough. So I prayed about it for a year straight, just waiting. Before the year was up, Monat literally FELL into my lap. The universe handed it to me and I knew instantly this was where I supposed to go. The freedom and flexibility is unmatched. I’ve worked really hard the last 10 months and while I’m still just getting started, my team is growing fast. I was able to go on my first fully paid for trip to Miami this summer with Monat. A real dream come true and pinch-me-moment. I feel confident again, I’m learning the skill of sales which everyone should master and I’m helping other women do the same. It’s really a no-brainer to do a business like this in today’s world. My life is forever changed 🥲🥲

    HERE’S HOW ⬇️ Healing the scalp starts with HERE’S HOW ⬇️

Healing the scalp starts with the right custom products and treatments. It means removing the buildup, waxes and silicones that cheap crappy products leave behind. It means allowing the scalp to breathe again by not using powder dry shampoos that clog the hair follicles and leave behind residue. 

HOW TO START:

1. Hair Oiling with Rejuveniqe oil - this is a liquid vitamin to feed and rebalance the scalp. It’s a proprietary blend of omegas, vitamins and plant oils that deeply penetrate the hair shaft and repair from the inside out. It’s a multipurpose oil for all scalp imbalances. Not to mention it preps the scalp for new growth.
2. Nutrient-dense shampoo - this will make the biggest difference. The products I use deeply cleanse and help control oiliness. There’s nothing else like them, trust me, I’ve tried them all. They’re oil-based, infused with rosemary (helps with growth) and functional.

🦄🦄🦄 If you’re in need of a hair transformation, comment HAIR or take my hair quiz and I’ll make a custom regimen for you 🩷
