My start of my Crazy Sexy Diet

I know the title of this post sounds crazy, at least for me but I also took a picture of the book so that you don't think I am crazy. I am putting this year, 2012, as the year I start taking better care of myself and begin by eating better. The woman that wrote this book,Kris Carr was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She took control of her life and the fight to stay healthy.She has written several books and has a website and a following of wellness warriors. You can read more about her at  crazysexydiet.com .
One of her mainstays besides a vegan diet is her green juicing. So here is the juicer that I purchased to try to get myself on the road to health. Several wise guys in my household have called it my new kitchen decoration as I also have a beautiful cappuccino machine that is more of a kitchen decoration than has been used. But we shall see.
I am starting a 21 day cleanse meaning no alcohol- no coffee- no gluten- no sugar - meat or dairy products. This will be a challenge but I will get through this. So this is day one and I made a green juice this morning with one green apple, cucumber and 2 stalks of celery. Yum and abit frothy but not bad for a  first try.

Join the bath challenge!

I saw this picture on Pin-Interest and had to share it. I have always dreamed of having a clawfoot tub in my bathroom and hopefully one day that will happen or a garden tub. But a tub big enough to spread out and relax and not have my knees under my chin so much.  :o) So I am dreaming of this tub !  But I do have lots of candles and music and take that time when people are out of the house to grab the tub while all is quiet for some very important me time!
What sorts of baths do you have and what is your bathtime like?
I would love to have some feedback and hear what you all have to say with a picture of your bath and one that you love.  I am getting excited about this.
How about a challenge for the best bath story and we can start it next Monday 1/23 and end it 2/6. The winner will receive a jar of Lavender Bath Soaking Salts and a bar of Lavender Soap. Are you game ?
