Soft skin isn't made in the shower. Why you need to start dry brushing.

This summer, I took up the daily practice of dry brushing my skin before showering. This may sound like a weird thing to do, but the act of dry brushing has been around for centuries. I started dry brushing because of the many benefits to my body and I wanted to improve the texture of my much neglected skin.

WHAT IS DRY BRUSHING?

What the heck? Kombucha. Yea...

Day 2 of 30
Happy Labor Day!

I had a great weekend full of good food and yummy cocktails! Today I HAD to go to the gym so I could sweat out all those toxins. Shout out to Unite Fitness for facilitating some of the hardest workouts I've experienced in a long time. 

On to today's detoxifying green smoothie recipe...

2 dinosaur kale leaves

2 celery stalks

2 tbsp hemp seeds

1/2 frozen banana

1 tsp raw organic honey

1 tsp Maca powder

1 tsp chlorella powder

1 packet Amazing Grass barley grass, wheat grass & alfalfa powder

1/2 c Synergy Mystic Mango Kombucha

1/2 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Today I added Kombucha to the DoD to help combat those weekend toxins and to help my belly bloat.  

Benefits of Kombucha

The ancient Chinese refer to Kombucha as the "Immortal Health Elixer." Sounds intriguing, right? There are plenty of benefits to drinking this fizzy beverage. Not only does it taste yummy, it helps with:

1. DETOXIFICATION

Kombucha is rich in many enzymes and bacterial acids your body needs to detox your system thus easing the burden on your liver to do all the work. 

2. AIDS DIGESTION AND GUT HEALTH

You may have heard this, but Kombucha is a probiotic beverage. It's naturally fermented with a living colony of bacteria and yeast. This means it great for improving digestion, mental clarity and mood stability.

3. IMMUNE BOOSTING

Kombucha contains tons of antioxidants which boost your immune system and your energy levels.

After a weekend of "over doing it", Kombucha is the perfect addition to today's DoD. 

Cheers!
