I have been on a serious smoothie kick lately. I really don't know what the heck took me so long to get with it, but here I am having a serious love affair with my Blend-Tec and the produce section of my local market. This morning I was in need of something. I needed it to be quick of course and full of color since I love to start the day off bright. I whipped up this fantastic tasting smoothie.
Purple Potion Smoothie
1/2 cup of frozen berry mix
1/2 cup of coconut milk
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon of oats
1 tablespoon of dried blueberries
1 tablespoon of almond halves
3 prunes
I love the super full feeling I had after drinking this smoothie and bonus the dried berries and prunes had me matching my manicure ... so fab!

Pomegranate Luv!
A couple of weeks back I popped into a local farmers market and picked up a fresh pomegranate. I love the fresh tangy taste and delicious crunch when you bite down on this powerful fruit. What's crazy fabulous about pomegranates are they are great for your body and your skin. Pomegranates are the most powerful anti-oxidants of all fruit, providing you with anti cancer and immunity support effects. Pomegranates are also great a lowering blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Pomegranates are also ideal for fresh clear skin. Feel a little dry? Don't skimp on the Pomegranate juice, it helps keep you hydrated and will recharge and replenish your dull dry skin. Pomegranate also helps to stimulate collagen production, battling wrinkles and saggy skin as we age.
Having a break out? Pomegranate is great to decrease inflammation and battle the redness that pops up on your skin near that wretched pimple.
Adding pomegranates into your diet or to your skin care regime will defiantly boost your shine. so go ahead and give it a whirl.
Here are two quick and easy ways to make it happen, like now!
Pomegranate juice is great to tone your skin with after you wash it.

Self Care... It's An On Going Thing
Here we are, October 1. I really loved September and all of the reminders to care for yourself.
I decided to continue on and create another little calendar to give some more inspirations on how to and when you can carve out time for self care. I truly and fully believe in the caring of yourself. You can never invest too much time on you.
Take some time and plan out when you will make the all important date with yourself and make this time an on going ritual. There are 91 days left in 2014. Recommit and reinvest in you.
