Total Green Machine

3 carrots

1 granny apple

2 baby limes

4 stalks celery

4-6 hand fulls spinach

1-2 Brussels sprouts

half a handful of cilantro …

The thing with me and juicing is the stuff you know you will not touch otherwise like Brussels sprouts. That's why I like the smoothie king and this get fit juice shop down the street from me. I drink it and walk away its really the best of both worlds. Our whole family has been on this get fit daily routine since we moved to Florida. More so now then back home. We are a fit family anyways. We are always in some kind of sport or outside biking. Jogging has been our newest added item to our list. As a family we run two miles from our house. Tonight we will be at the ymca to workout. It's great to be able to share this with my boys. It won't be a challenge to stay healthy as they grow it will be natural.

Homemade Beauty Secrets

Here are a few quick tips for all the ladies who spend way to much on makeup. Did you know the average woman spends about two thousand dollars a year on makeup? I don't think I have ever spent that much on makeup in my life. I'm more of go all natural kind of look. I do use mascara,lip gloss and eye shadow person but not all the time. It takes me about three in a half months to go though mascara even longer on lip gloss. To be safe I will toss them every four months.

Lip Gloss
Take your left over eye shadow you have or those samples you pick up from time to time. Add some vaseline and BAM you have homemade lip gloss. How great is that?

Dry Shampoo
I have tried this a few times I didn't care to much for it. Dry shampoo is a in between for washes.  If you use it this product can become a big expense. Try this and compare it to the store brand. Take baking soda,baking powder,and cornstarch together put it in a shaker and shake onto your roots.

Bronzer
This is one product that I do use in all year round. Take a little cinnamon or cocoa powder mix with baby powder. To get a darker shade just add a little more of the cinnamon or cocoa powder which ever one you decided to use. The plus side is that my hubby tells me he can't stay away I smell too sweet.

Toner
Take some rose petals in a pot boil them for a minute or so. Strain the petals leaving the water. Poor it in a spray bottle. It's great to use to set your makeup or just after you get out of the shower. I have used it to spray on my bed linens. The smell is amazing. Toner returns your skin's pH back to normal.

Face wash
It has been about three weeks that I have traded in my apricot scrub for a baking soda scrub. All you do is take a handful of baking soda before I get in the shower with a little bit of water enough to make a paste. I will coat my face wait 30 seconds and rinse. I find it easier to rinse it off in the shower because it can get messy. It will make your pores much smaller. It will also give you a healthy glow. If you have other homemade beauty secrets don't be shy share them with a comment.

Savannah Cat

Watch "A Beautiful Relationship - Savannah Cat MAGIC and Andreas Stucki." on YouTube

This cat in the video above is the size of a small dog. My hubby and I have been looking at getting one in the near future.

A Savannah cat is a cross between a domestic cat and the Serval, a medium-sized, large-eared wild African cat. The only problem I guess I have with this cat is becoming dinner. It's huge compare to my cat now. We are talking about taking a trip to Oklahoma. We have found a breeder there. Justin is in love with this cat as well as my hubby. After Christopher was born they were trying to talk me into getting a tiger.  I'm glad this cat is far away on top of that you have to jump though some small hoops for this cat. Otherwise it would have been a total impulse buy. Do you have a Savannah Cat?
