Suja Juice Cleanse

Ok ok ok...So here comes the review on the 1 Day Suja Juice cleanse. First, here are my notes that I took throughout the day to give the times I drank everything and my thoughts on it.

I'm just obsessed with the packaging and how pretty they are!

8 am - Lemon water and 24 oz water
9 am - Glow and 24 oz water
           Strong cucumber and celery taste, apple made it sweet.
10 am - I'm hungry but I can hold off, definitely hungry and craving some kind of carb.
11:30 am - Fuel with 24 oz water
                  Strong carrot taste, but the sweetness of the orange makes it pretty good.
12:30 pm - another 24 oz water
1:30 pm - Purify with 24 oz water
                Another really strong cucumber and celery taste.
2:30 pm - Not really feeling hungry anymore and now this seems totally doable. I have been peeing like a race horse!
4 pm - Fiji with 24 oz water
           I'm just so over the cucumber taste, that I need to plug my nose to down it. Really not hungry, wondering how I'm supposed to drink 2 more before 7:30.
6 pm - Green Supreme with 24 oz water
           Not so bad, thought the apples would be more prominent, but the kale over powers it. Saw peppers being chopped and I wanted them so bad they looked so yummy, while the cupcakes looked awful and had no desire for them.
7:30 pm - Vanilla Cloud with 24 oz water
                By FAR the best one of the day! Tasted so dreamy after all the cucumber and celery! I feel light and tight and not hungry at all.

I'm totally over the cucumber and celery taste..obviously

I'll answer some typical questions.
How did the juice taste? If you look above, you can see what I thought about each individual drink, which honestly weren't bad, I've had things MUCH harder to choke down. The hardest part for me was the fact that I was ruined of cucumber and celery tasting purees or juices when doing Tracy Anderson diet. So when 4 of the drinks had varying amounts of those foods, that's all I could taste because I just didn't like it. I'm sure if you have no qualms with cucumber and celery, you'd be just fine. The thing that saved me is that there was no texture, they were all straight up juice which made me very happy and much easier to get down.
Did you lose weight? Although, I did not do this for weight loss at all, I knew this would be a question so I watched it. I did lose 1 pound.
Were you hungry? Up until my third juice, I was feeling hungry. I would have had the 3 juices before 1 pm, but I was just nervous that I was going to go through them too fast, but that was not the case at all. Literally around 3 pm, I wasn't hungry at all, I was actually wondering how I was going to finish all of them because I was feeling too full.
How much did it cost? I found them on sale for $7.99 a piece at Whole Foods. Which is not much more than if you bought all of the ingredients and made it on your own. I don't have a juicer, nor did I want to spend the time, so I feel like the price is fair. So 6 juices for $8 each, just under $50.
Where do I find them? You can find them on the Suja juice website, where if you order them online, they will deliver them straight to your house. You can also see on their website where it is offered in a Whole Foods or other stores near you. 
Did it do what you expected? Let me just say, I was skeptical...for sure! What was 1 day going to do? I was hoping for a little 'reset', help my body crave good things again, and get me to clean out as much bad stuff as it could in just a day. I'll tell you what, it SURPASSED my expectations. It was incredible how good I felt the next day and how I didn't want anything that wasn't going to aid in fueling my body. I just wanted clean clean clean food! I felt great and had a renewed strong desire to eat clean to reach my goals and most importantly, fuel my body with the best things for it.

End result..I would love to do this every month if I could, but I will do it at least every quarter! I'm hoping next time I do it in April that I can try a 3 day and see how that goes! I would seriously recommend this to anyone and everyone, even if it's just 1 day, you'll still see benefits from it.

Wear it Wednesday - Lulu Lemon

Anyone ever tried Lulu's stuff? Beware if you haven't, because you'll probably become obsessed. I'm in love with their products. Mainly the fact that they keep their shape, squeeze you in, somehow keep you warm but cool all at the same time, and are ridiculously cute! I sold my soul back on my birthday this year when my hubs took me there for a little shopping. Since then, I have saved my pennies for every purchase, why? Because it's totally worth it and they'll seriously last forever! And don't ask me why, but me in workout clothes is my husband's favorite. So I guess that's how we justify it haha. 

These were some of my first purchases...

crops

jacket

I die over all their clothes, but I'm currently lusting over these numbers.

Boogie Shorts

pants

Tank

Love Lulu! Hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

Wear it Wednesday - Headphones

......That actually STAY in your ears!!

Let me tell you, that is about all that matters to me. Minus the fact that music comes out of them, and the volume will adjust accordingly. I have been on the lookout for buds that stay in for years now, so long I almost thought I might have to resort to ear hole surgery so ones would fit, or worse...wearing the ones that wrap around your head and cover the whole ear. No hate if that's what you prefer, I just can't stand the big things covering my ears, the bouncing, and almost the feeling of claustrophobia from the headband. Let's be honest, they just don't work when running or trying to do anything intense. But with buds, I was literally shoving them back in my ears about every 15 seconds while I was running. I tried almost every set I could, borrowing family and friends' to see if theirs worked, but they would always tell me they had that same problem too. Good news, people! I FINALLY found some!

Skull Candy's name for them is perfectly suited - The FIX

These are the exact ones I ordered and let me tell you, they have been life changing! It comes with a whole little zipper case I can fit my shuffle in with them, and 3 different size buds depending on your big or bitty ear holes. Volume control on the wire strand, as you can see in the picture. My husband got these for me, knowing my strife with this whole situation, and when I got back from using them for the first time, he immediately asked me how they were. With my big smile and crazy enthusiasm, he was pretty proud of himself.

These are definitely a more expensive set of buds if you're used to just getting the free ones with iPods or $15 ones from Target. But, they are well worth it, especially if you do lots of running or high-intensity training. They run for $69.95 on Skull Candy, and come with a great warranty.

Wear it Wednesday-Music Stylings

“Wear it Wednesday” is when I will be sharing some products with you and kinda what I think about them. today I wanna talk about iPods, their pros and cons, and which ones you should invest in. First of all, if you’re like me, you can’t workout without a good beat in your ears. I find that I push myself harder while listening to music and it helps the time pass by a little bit easier. More on the benefits of listening to music while working out later. Here’s some of the options you have for iPods:

iPhone

Pros- iPhone if you need to remain accessible while you’re working up a sweat (don’t let this be a distraction to you though),GPS tracking which makes it super easy and accurate to track your runs or sprints, access to the app store (TONS of really cool exercise apps, I’ll post about my top faves later), easy music selection-

Cons- Bigger to carry around-can’t really have it in your pocket if you’re running or doing any kind of intense training–you would have to get an armband (Incase’s is the best), dumbbells being dropped on iPhones will ruin your day

Great for- Weight lifting with little movement

iPod Nano

Pros- Small and Light, Screen view, clip-on, Multiple colors, built in Nike+ Pedometer (No GPS capabilities), Watch function with timer and stopwatch, $129

Cons- Can’t think of any

Great for- Weight training, Cardio (especially running), Intense circuit training

iPod Shuffle

Pros- TINY, Clip-on, Easy volume and track adjustments, Multiple colors, ONLY $49!

Cons- No screen, Smaller GB capacity (But still, 2GB is about 480 songs)

Great for- Intense circuit training, any type of Cardio

My personal favorite is the Nano, because you get the best of both worlds. I can’t even feel it while I’m working out. In all honesty, my headphones are heavier than the Nano and the Shuffle. It’s also cool because if you’re a runner, it can track your miles, total time, and pace, then save it so you can look back.

If you’re looking to be a little more cost-effective, then the Shuffle is TOTALLY the way to go! Although people could complain about no screen on the Shuffle, it’s really not a big deal at all! I only use it for working out so I just have it filled with upbeat music that keeps me motivated while I exercise. Any way, you can’t go wrong with these products whichever one you choose. They’re all amazing!

HAPPY EXERCISE ROCKIN!
