What candy,juice detox,and the gym have in common

They're in this blog! haha...ok ok I'm sorry. I was having trouble coming up with a title. So hey pretty people haha :) How's it goin? I hope you're doing well! We just celebrated trick-or-treat here. My daughter is going through a "strawberry shortcake" phase. What little girl hasn't gone through that phase? How long has that character been around?... So being the nerd I am I googled it and it has been around since the 1970's! Started out as a greeting card. Hmm who knew? Anyway LOL... she wanted to be strawberry shortcake this year. Some of my favorite memories/costumes were the ones my dad made for me so I thought it would be cool to make hers. I think it turned out well...

It was super easy. I put the patches on a plain white shirt. sewed on the ribbon. Sewed elastic to fit her waist and did slip knots with the tulle for the skirt. Some face paint, tights, and red hair spray was all it took to complete the costume. She had so much fun and so did I. We went out for about an hour and her bucket was full to the brim. We came home, warmed up and she slept very well haha. My dad and I had another tradition of watching scary movies so I turned on a very old school black and white Dracula movie. Very cool. I can't wait to share that with Lillia when she gets older. I hope you all had a great time too. 

This is a little bit different, but I'm planning on doing a juice detox in the next few days. I've been reading a lot about the benefits in general, but also for those coming off of chemo and radiation. Even way after the dose, the chemo can stick in your body for a while and cause side effects and just not be good for the body. The juice detox helps to rid your body and help you to start feeling better. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll let you know how it goes and how I feel after. Feel free to share your thoughts!

In line with the health thing, a friend of mine is a personal trainer at the gym I go to and has offered to help me focus on getting some strength back. That will be really cool. I've been in and out of there a lot but my consistency has always been lacking(hince not much progress and then with the in and out of the hospital thing :P pitiful). I think this will help me get on a more stable routine and I'm looking forward to what he has planned to help push me past what I was already doing too. I'll keep you updated on my progress. Kind of an accountability thing if you don't mind :)

I have some yummy clean recipes in mind to make (I've made a couple already)..I'll share all those in an upcoming blog :) Thanks for reading. I hope I didn't bore you too much ;) Take care, talk to you next time ~H
