Beauty Bridal Cleanse Week 1

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Elaine

Sorry, not to confuse you, I’m not a bride LOL! I was at one point but I’m happily married now although I would LOOOVE to do a wedding again, I love weddings 😛

I’m participating in Bridal Cleanse guided by Jen Newell ND in collaboration with Blush Pretty.

Of course the bridal cleanse isn’t JUST for brides. But many of the benefits a bride is looking for (weight loss, clear skin, more energy etc) are what we’re all looking for aren’t we?

I’ve decided to take on the challenge and am almost completed week 1 in which I am in between phases of the cleanse right now. The first part was just cleaning up my diet, staying away from caffeine (which I had been already doing anyway), eating more fruits and veggies, good grains and proteins and staying away from processed foods.

Jen  made it really easy by providing us sample meal plans along with recipes. She’s also guiding us through email and on twitter so we have complete support throughout and she can answer any questions we have.

The processed foods thing will be hard for me, I will admit. I’m of the “convenience” generation as I like to call it. So this week was all about grocery shopping. I bought kale for the first time (I had to ask what it looked like!) and I tried to bake from scratch for the first time. It was an utter failure by the way – attempted to make zucchini muffins only to find out I came home with 2 large cucumbers instead LOL!

The first week has been challenging but in a good way. I didn’t eat TOO badly before so I’m not feeling any difference yet but I’m saving money already as I’ve been bringing snacks and lunch to work almost everyday (go me!).

Hopefully I will see a difference in the next 3 weeks. If it’s not significant I think it will be a step towards and healthier and less hectic lifestyle any how 🙂 Wish me luck!!

If you’re on twitter you can follow my cleanse journey (along with the other ladies participating) by searching #BridalCleanse.

Have you ever tried a cleanse before? What are your thoughts?

***Disclosure: Jen Newell ND is offering her services complimentary. In return I’ve agreed to follow the program, attend 3 consecutive weekly group meetings, blog about my experience and share my experience through social media.***

  • I got Botox! (Technically, I got Nuceiva, which is a different brand of neuromodulator, but does the same thing) I’ve been feeling uncomfortable with the fine lines on my forehead, and wanted to try out neuromodulators! It was easier and much less painful than I anticipated, but definitely was a bit of an emotional journey. ➡️ I got 24 units during this visit, at a cost of $11 each. (Cost will vary depending on brand of neuromodulator, the clinic you choose, and the person who does the treatment) ➡️ This treatment will probably last around 3 months, and then will
  • Fresh nails for Spring! This was my first time getting a dip powder mani. It was so interesting! Apparently it’ll last about 3-4 weeks. I like that I didn’t have to cure the nails with a UV lamp, and that there was less filing than with biogel. I decided not to go with extensions today, but that’s an option as well. So far I’m a fan! Do you prefer shellac, bio-gel, dip, or natural nails? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #springmani #dippowdernails #dipmanicure #toronto #torontonails #torontopr #dipnails #nailinspo #bluenails #shortnails #opidippowder #organicnailbar #organicnailbarto #kingwest #freshnails #nailstagram #simplenails #nailsalon
