Day Of Detox/ Self Care + Detoxifying Habits (Spring 2019)

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by. This video was requested recently, so I thought I would share. As we know, our bodies essentially "detox" for us. Everyday our body goes to work to protect us and fight an array of pathogens. We can help aid our body in its functions when we reduce toxic foods and products, and move towards a holistic approach to living.. I am not the poster child for living a perfectly holistic lifestyle. I often reach for food and products that do not align with a holistic approach. I do however strive to educate myself, and make balanced decisions based on that knowledge. This video is an example of a day when I'm focused on feeding my body clean and nutrient rich plants, herbs, & spices etc. I'm focused on removing not only toxic food, but also toxic behaviors, thoughts etc. It's a day to come back to the basics, and then establish routine, habit, and practice. A "Day Of Detox" is not intended to be a "quick fix," but rather a re boot; a reminder of habits to develop more consistently. I hope you enjoy!

#CeleryJuice
I simply juice pure celery juice in the mornings and replace it for coffee.

#Antioxidant Shake
After having some morning oats, I made a simple antioxidant rich shake which included strawberries, banana & kiwi + I added chia seeds.

Warm Lentil Salad-

#Pilates

Pilates Instagram Accounts & Resources I Love- @sianmarshallpilates @balanced_body @pilatesbodyworkout

#Self Care
Develop self care habits that can last a lifetime.. Practice them whenever you have time. Dry brushing and massaging are great for blood flow throughout the entire body and for healthier more firm skin.

Essential Oils-
Use essential oils for relaxation, detoxifying, and for pleasing the senses with "spa like" treatments.

#Herbal Teas

Rachel- A really great garden tip when harvesting your lettuces- cut your lettuce with a sharp knife right above the soil line, it will grow back for a second harvest. Enjoy!

There is something so so special about your videos. In the crazy, fast paced world we live in your videos transport me to another world where it feels the exact opposite. So calming and soothing, something I definitely needed to watch to help these frazzled nerves👌🏽😌

You are just a RAY of positivity and good vibes. And not just in a stereotypical cali girl sort of way - in a very genuine, enlightening way. And I love your philosophy of moderation - balance really is key!

Can you do a video on growing a small herb garden(like for an apartment)

[shanzehayee]

Could you do a video focused around healthy habits for menstrual issues? (i.e. PCOS, endometriosis, heavy cramping, stomach issues related to period etc.)

[adhisanjani]

1:21 the most realistic and honest words. I agree, being healthy doesn’t mean you restrain yourself for having treats of something you like, but you reduce the amount of it and chose better options of your current diet. Love your videos❤️

[HikerNikki]

Every time I watch your videos, I feel inspired and a warm sense of comfort. Thank you for being so genuine and helpful!

I am in a bad depressive episode right now and something about this video (the pretty sunny visuals, your soothing voice, the music, whatever) actually got through to me.. I haven’t felt anything in a few weeks. I think I am going to leave my bed today. Thank you

If you have a liver and kidneys, you are detoxing! Just for those who want to believe in food that will rid them of toxins, not happening.
This is a nice self care video and I loved it.
