Detox Bath

I decided to try this detox bath I found on PINTEREST.

Ingredients:

●Epsom salt
●Apple cider vinegar
●Baking soda
●Ginger
●Green tea bags  (2)
●Lavender oil

Instructions:

Run a hot bath and dump all the junk in the tub. And then soak for 40 MIN.

 YEAH. RIGHT. 

I was DYING after 20 min. Well the "science" of the detox is that "supposedly" during the first 20 min, your body is releasing the toxins. Then the last 20 min, your body absorbs the minerals from the water. I can proudly say I lasted 25 min! Something in the ginger causes your body to start getting tingly and an overall internal heated feeling. My face was blood red. Lol. I took a selfie of my face mid way. I will think about posting it later. Maybe.

But overall--- I really enjoyed it. Very relaxing, and the whole subconscious thing kicked in where you truly "believe" it's gotta be doing something, right? So that feels good. :)

I lay here now on the couch with the fan blowing on my face. I'm on my 2nd bottle of water. My body tension is less.

 I give my experience 3 out of 4 stars. :)☆☆☆

And I would recommend anyone trying it. 

***Disclaimer: Unless, of course, you have a health concern requiring a Dr's consult first. Be safe. 

Approaching 2015, my perspective is: 

ANY step you make to improve your overall health and well being  (no matter how big or small) = EFFORT. Which therefore equals = developing healthy habits & lifestyle changes to make YOU a BETTER YOU! 

I love a quote I heard: 

This one involves weight, but you could apply it to any area of struggle you may face.

"LOSING WEIGHT IS HARD. BEING FAT IS HARD. CHOOSE YOUR HARD."

Bam! Now that is what it's all about. 

BIG things coming in 2015. BRING IT ON!

I will attempt to stay in the full 40 min detox bath next time. But no promises. ;) lol. 

Make small goals.

XO, Annie
