This is not your average recipe book. It is not any sort of recipe passed down by grandma from generation to generation. These are colon recipes meant to cleanse your intestines of rubbish, thereby ridding your body of parasites. We all have parasites. However, if you have a city of parasites, so to speak, your health is in danger.

Why do we need to clean our colons?
Have you ever had a clogged sink and either you or the plumber was awarded the fun task of removing the pipes? What do you find? You find an accumulation of debris and grime stemming from years of junk that piled in the sink. Let’s be honest. We eat healthy food and we eat junk. Both accumulate in our intestines and parasites happily colonize and feed.

Therefore, periodically, we need to cleanse our colons with colon detox products that will gradually rid ourselves of these harmful parasites. If you are sluggish or just don’t feel well, it may be because of a sluggish colon due to lack of cleansing.

Raw Spinach Colon Cleansing Vegetable Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups of spinach
1 Carrot
Half a lemon

Shred the spinach as if you were making a tossed salad. Either chop or grate the carrot over the spinach (makes it look more appetizing). Squeeze half a lemon over the mixture. The lemon replaces salad dressing. This recipe is not a gourmet meal, but it is not nausea-inducing either. The mixture will serve as a broom and will sweep debris onwards and downwards as it travels through your colon. In addition, this salad will give you a boost of the hottest nutrients such as Vitamins A, Beta Carotene, B-6, K and E and Iron.

Simple Fruit Colon Recipe
Ingredients
1 banana, cinnamon

Take one banana and mash it up in a small bowl. Add a pinch of cinnamon and enjoy.

These simple fruit recipes will go a long way in helping you to increase your colon health. Vegetable and fruit colon recipes are the keys to vitality and beauty. Did you know eating fruits and bananas do wonders for your complexion?

Losing Weight

Because cellulite is caused by fat gain, especially when the gain is rapid, a diet low in fat can decrease the appearance of cellulite, if not cellulite itself. In 2006, a study of 29 women with cellulite was done. The study showed that weight loss did not necessarily eliminate cellulite. In fact, 17 reported an improvement in their cellulite, while 9 reported an actual worsening. Over all, the appearance of the dimples improved. While some still had cellulite, the depth of the dimples were less, and therefore looked better.

Fish oil and Flaxseed Oil
Fish oil and flaxseed oil have help to build collagen and elastin. Collagen and Elastin helps the skin to look plumper and more toned, so the appearance of dimpled lumps decreases. Studies show that increasing fish oil or flaxseed oil in the diet, can produce a marked improvement in as little as 2 months.

Glucosamine
My mother takes glucosamine for her arthritic knees. Glucosamine also has a positive effect on cellulite. Glucosamine helps to keep the cells nice and plump and hydrated. Like collagen and elastin, plumper cells produce a less dimpled effect.

So if you want to lose some cellulite, exercise and try some of the above supplements.

There is also a great anti-cellulite product called Rejuvinx. Click here to find out more.

At some point, I decided that to expose my legs was a treat. A treat for me and a special surprise for those who were not used to me showing any leg.

I don’t know why I cringe when I look at skirts. Is it my quasi-feminist soul that rebels against feminine attire? I say “quasi” because I actually love when men do traditional acts such as “opening the car door”, standing up when I enter the room…

Okay, so no one stands when I enter the room, but you get my gist.

I recently joined Mary Kay and suddenly I have to wear skirts on meeting nights and at functions. You see, Mary Kay believed that professional attire for a woman includes skirts, like this Emanuel Ungaro Skirt

At first, I rebelled against the concept, but why do I find myself smiling to myself when I put on my skirt once a week?

I hate to say it, but I am beautiful in a skirt.

Walk in Beauty

This blog is new and I will be revamping the design bit by bit. Don’t be alarmed if one day you find it drastically different!

What is beauty?

According to dictionary.com, beauty is “the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).”

Is everyone beautiful?

I say that most people except for the truly deranged possess some quality that is beautiful to someone else.

Beauty comes in all forms and shapes. What is beautiful to one person may not be beautiful to another.

Since we appreciate beauty, we should attempt to create beauty where possible.

As a Mary Kay consultant, I will be sharing the Mary Kay tools that I have in my beauty arsenal.

But don’t think this is a Mary Kay Blog. We will be looking at all aspects of beauty including ways to improve the beauty of the soul.

I cherish all your comments as long as they are not intentionally demeaning.

Let us strive to encourage and build up one another!

Until later….Walk in Beauty.
