    What I Ate Wednesday

    Mar 15, 2017 • What I Ate

     

    Hi my lovelies! As per usual, its What I Ate Wednesday again!

    Plant based vegan style, with lots of chocolate-y goodness and a little red wine 😉 Hope you guys are having a great week!


    HYDRATION:

    Every single morning, water, water water, before anything else. Water is crucial in keeping my skin clear and smooth. 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 since I aim for 2-3 liters per day.

    Before breakfast though, its always 24 ounces (3 cups) of filtered water, today with 1/2 lemon and 1/4 teaspoon spirulina powder. Spirulina in small amounts is virtually tasteless, so there’s no nasty green taste and it gives me a little extra energy and detox power (P.S. a post is coming on friday!)

    I feel like a mermaid.

    What I Ate Wednesday

    BREAKFAST:

    There’s a new smoothie in town… and its made with a secret ingredient… frozen cauliflower.

    YESSS! Cauliflower. And no, you do not taste the cauliflower, but its literally the creamiest smoothie ever and the extra veggie power makes me so happy! After seeing smoothies made with cauliflower all over instagram, I knew it was time to try it out. Go make this ASAP. I promise, you will love it.

    2 big handfuls of spinach, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup frozen cauliflower, 2 tablespoons hemp seeds, 1/2 teaspoon maca, 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, 1 scoop Vega Protein and Greens, 1/2 cup filtered water + 1/2 cup almond milk! Top with more coconut and hemp. YUM. Bring on the veggies.

    SNACK: 

    Later on while typing away, I grazed on all kinds of things. A handful of cacao nibs for energy, an apple, a larabar (banana chocolate chip is my fave lately) and don’t be mad at me… a cup of coffee with Silk Almond Vanilla Creamer. Yep, I went back to coffee over the weekend.. oops.

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was steamed broccoli and leftovers from my tofu ricotta lasagna I made on Sunday night. It rocks my world! With all the snow we’ve had the past couple days, I need lots of warming comfort food, plus it has tons of zucchini and spinach.

    SNACK:

    I sipped on a little kombucha throughout the afternoon! For some pre-workout fuel, I snacked on chocolate chia overnight oats – adapted from my PB Chia Overnight Oats – with cacao powder instead of peanut butter and topped with cacao nibs and coconut!

    DINNER:

    After I got home from the gym with Terry, I made a quick protein shake with vega protein and got to cooking since he was coming over for dinner (shared it on insta stories!). I made lentil veggie tacos, with whatever I had on hand, which happened to be 1 zucchini, 1 tomato, 1/4 red onion, 1/3 jalape?o, 2 cups kale, 2 cans of cooked lentils and a bunch of taco spices (chili powder, paprika, cayenne, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes). He loves spicy food so I always up the spiciness level when he’s here. We topped with them lettuce and guac. I also snuck in a glass of red wine!

    Finished out the night with my Calming Magnesium Beauty Sleep Tea!

      I’ve got to try the cauliflower smoothie trick! I’m currently au pairing for two seriously picky kids and the only time I can get them to eat anything healthy is if I blend it into a smoothie or a sauce. Will definitely be slipping some cauliflower into their after school smoothies now!

    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.

    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).

Don’t know how to talk to people? Time to learn and practice and start conversations. 
Too nervous to talk on your stories? Time to start talking on stories and work that muscle. 
Too nervous to go live? It’s not as bad as it seems. This is what all my girls tell me. Just do it. Stop overthinking it.
Don’t know how to make a good reel? It’s called Google or YouTube. There’s a million Instagram accounts to help with this exactly. Find your creative style and go with it.

    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 🩷
