the juicy truth...

Breaking some serious radio silence here. Instead of apologizing for an absurdly long leave of absence I want to share an update. I believe I have finally kicked my coffee addiction- almost 5 months clean. I am not someone who can enjoy it in moderation. My moderation was a minimum of 5 cups a day. Pretty unreasonable and really not so gentle on my body. I am fully surfing the juice wave and I LOVE IT! I swaped out my dark mistress for a morning ritual of green juice, a cup of matcha tea, and a solid vitamin B capsule. I hope you don't mind if this space becomes a little more devoted to health and wellness. IT WILL NEVER BE PREACHY, I promise! I just want to share what tips/tricks/changes I have found helpful. Oh... and I'm going to try and get my yoga instructor certification. Any words of encouragement would be so appreciated.
So a few months ago we splurged on a Breville and even though I still adore my Vitamix, I must say that this new toy is just fantastic. It is amazing how many vegetables I can squeeze into my meals now and the energy boost feels so much cleaner and more even than my coffee jolt ever did. I have yet to do a full on juice cleanse... a little too intense for me at this point. Anyway, here is my favorite combination of greens for a morning pick-me-up.
morning glory juice
1 bunch of kale
1 head of romaine
1 granny smith apple
1 zucchini
1 lemon{peeled}
1 lime {peeled}
*I still am styling, by the way! I have a long backlog of shoots that I have been meaning to post since May...eek!

Good luck with the yoga adventure!
Hi! I checked over by chance to see if you were here...and you are! I started taking yoga in April...and I found a new love. I had no idea I would love something so much- or that my body would either. Yay for going for it! :) (As I take a huge swig of coffee...I don't think I could ever give her up.)
so happy to see some new posts here. bring on the wellness! i think we could all benefit from swapping knowledge. (case in point, i'm on my second cup of coffee as i write.)
Sometimes I wish a guy with a wheelbarrow would show up with all the veggies I need! Great recipe thanks for sharing! :)
