128

What a beautiful Monday this was(now, that is saying a lot coming from me…I HATE Mondays)

Breakfast

Coffee Time! I used to always drink disgusting poison creme in my coffee, but I finally found a clean solution for my occasional cup of coffee: a dash of Almond Milk and a couple of drops of Blue Agave sweetener.  Yum, Yum, Yum.

Running late this morning and did not have time for my green smoothie so I am making up for it by drinking a few extra cups of herbal tea today!

Lunch

Veggie Sandwich:

Avocado, Tomato, Onion, Cucumber, Pickles, Mustard, Sea Salt and Pepper…on Whole Wheat Bread.

Dinner

Homemade Veggie Tacos:

Black Beans, Romaine, Tomato, Avocado, and Onion

Simple and so filling!

Workout

A nice long and heated session of Anusara Yoga focused on arm strength. Half way accomplished my first reverse wall climb, Ill post a pic when I can do it without falling a million times! Then finished off my workout with a 15-minute weight session focusing on arms.  Early dinner, late workout=a beautiful night.

What is one of the most annoying things about being a woman? In my opinion, Shaving!

Standard

I was having some problems with my shaving strategies. I would usually shave in the shower with soap and water, but most times I was in pain after. I would suffer from razor burn; of the worst kind. And to top it off my shaving was always inconsistent…I was always missing spots! And let’s not forget that if you have goosebumps on your legs while showering…well then forget it…unless of course you like your legs to burn and bleed and all at the same time.

I decided that I needed to do something different so my first step was to get an electric razor and try that route. This option seemed okay, I would shave dry and out of the shower but it still just wasn’t good enough. Then a light bulb clicked one day. I am an avid user of Vitamin E oil, it is a life saver, I use it all over my face and body in place of lotion and there really is nothing like it…AMAZING. So I decided to shave with my electric razor right after I put the oil on my legs. It worked beautifully, not only were my legs silky smooth, but the shave was closer than before and lasted for longer than using a razor. And the best part of all, you know those little red bumps most women get from shaving? Well, they are gone, completely gone…took a couple of weeks but no more bumps. I use this method on my armpits as well and it works beautifully. Still haven’t figured out a good bikini shaving method (the electric razor doesn’t seem to work well in that area!) but I recommend this method on your legs and underarms for sure!

Tip: Get a good, not too inexpensive electric razor, the cheaper one’s do not work well at all. And be sure to get PURE vitamin oil, with nothing else in the ingredients. Your skin absorbs whatever you put on it, make sure it absorbs the best and purest kind of whatever you put on it! ALWAYS!
