It’s All Fun & Games Until Monday AM
Truth – the 4th of July weekend was one of those weekends for me. You know what I’m talkin’ about…… cocktails, desserts, burgers, potato chips and “real” potato salad – like, with actual full-fat mayonnaise. Damn good. See, my Dad’s birthday is July 3rd which fell on a Friday this year. He loves martini’s so being a good daughter – I couldn’t let him partake alone, so…… Yeah. That happened.
The 3rd, obvi – runs right into the 4th which means more celebrating, natch. This morning, I’m totally feelin’ the effects – Bloaty, Sluggish, Skin looks dehydrated and just overall feeling like a serious slug. Ugh. If you can identify with me – let’s fix that!
Champagne, Martini’s and Gifts…..Dad LOVES his birthday!
2-Day “SKINNY DETOX WATER”
Reduce Bloat + Anti-inflammatory + Natural Appetite Suppressant
Alcohol – aside from the calories, dehydrates our body which leads to water retention and ergo….bloating. It also dehydrates our skin, which is why we look like, 800-years old the next morning. Just sayin’. Add to that, extra sodium from the bag of potato chips I HAD to have and ummm, yeah – pretty much feeling like a water balloon. Not cute.
The key is to Rehydrate the body but instead of plain old water, we’re going to Supercharge it with detoxifying ingredients: LEMON – GINGER – CUCUMBER – MINT. That’s the “secret recipe” for our SKINNY DETOX WATER!
Lemon, Cucumber, Ginger Root & Fresh Mint. Sip over 2-days, to Cut Bloat & Rehydrate Skin. RECIPE Below
Why It Works:
LEMON: Lemons are not only a natural appetite suppressant, they also helps to cleanse the body. Plus, they’re a good source of Vitamin C & flavonoids which are Anti-Oxidants.
GINGER: Ginger helps with digestion and has powerful anti-inflammatory effects due to its main compound, Gingerol.
MINT: Anti-inflammatory properties, natural appetite suppressant.
CUCUMBER: Supports healthy skin, aids in digestion, contains anti-oxidants, cucumbers are 95% water which adds to hydration.
It really helps to Detox, Rehydrate & Get You Back on Track.
