Reboot Your Life Juice Cleanse

Pin It

About three weeks ago (whoops, a little behind in posting about this)

I did a juice cleanse, called Reboot Your Life. Check it out here.

I've always wanted to do a cleanse before, but I never knew where to start.

Search "juice cleanse" on google and the amount of information is beyond overwhelming.

The reason why I choose to do Reboot Your Life is, because multiple members of my family had already done a juice cleanse and had nothing but the best things to say.

My brother was the first to try it out to 

see if it could help his migraines actually (which it did.) 

Reboot Your Life juice cleanses have multiple different plans depending on what you're looking to invest during the cleanse. I decided to do just the 3 day cleanse, because I did it right before The Holiday's (and let's be honest, I wasn't going to pass up holiday food.) 

So, how do you start? First off, the website does an amazing job of walking you through exactly what you need and how to use it (I went there multiple times throughout my 3 day cleanse) Ultimately though, the first thing you need (if you don't already have one) is a juicer - which can be a bit pricey. Luckily my mom has a juicer, so I just borrowed it from her. 

Then, it's off to the grocery store. It's important to try get all organic (if you can) because it will add better flavor to your juices. You can print off the list of everything you need directly from the website.

The 3 days of groceries!

Then, you start juicing! 

Pre-juiced veggies/fruits. This one is called Gazpacho Juice.

What the Gazpacho Juice looks like after it's juiced. This was my second favorite juice.

So, how did I like it? Well, I didn't exactly "like" the juices (my favorite though, was the Carrot Apple Ginger Juice - although I'm not a big fan of ginger so I left it out.)

The first two days I had a pretty bad headache due to all the toxins being released from my body, 

but other than that, I didn't suffer from any real "hunger pains" or anything.

However, I did suffer from eating solid foods, so I did "cheat" a bit and eat some raw vegetables and fruits that were part of the juice cleanse.

 I really needed that chewing sensation (okay, that just sounds weird!) 

After doing some more research on the Reboot Your Life plans, there are actually plans that allows you to eat some solid foods (which I will be doing when I do this again.)

Overall, I felt like I had more energy after the 3 days and I definitely felt less bloated and "heavy." I don't really think I lost any weight per say, but it was only 3 days after all. I'm really excited to do another longer cleanse real soon!

Asking My Bridal Party

I wanted to ask my bridal party in a meaningful way, so I made the above invites to mail out to everyone...well that was the plan at least. But Thanksgiving day came, and I was in such a thankful mood that I ended up asking everyone that day. I did send the invites electronically though
(gotta love technology!) 

My Wedding Party

Maid of Honor (s)
{side note: I know it's completely unconventional and non-traditional to have three MOH's, but I'm truly blessed to have three best friend's who are sisters to me! Plus, my fiance is having two best men, so why not! :)} 

Mrs. Samantha S. - best friend 

Miss Anastasia A. - best friend

Mrs. Kelsey S. - best friend

 Bridesmaids 

Mrs. Wendy R. - sister-in-law

Miss Louise P. - friend

Miss Sami R. - sister of the groom 

Miss Mckinzie H. - friend 

Mrs. Katia M. - friend 

Personal Attendants 

Mrs. Gabrielle T. - cousin of the groom  

Miss Charlotte Haru R. - cousin

I'm so incredibly blessed to have such amazing women in my life!

 I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for every single one of them.

To know I have the support of the women that matter the most in my life, 

means more than I could ever explain... :)

The Ryan's and soon to be Ross's. So blessed. And we sure are growing!

I can't believe it's Monday already! Where did the time go?

Andrew and I had a five day weekend, which needless to say...

was amazing.

For Thanksgiving, we were fortunate enough to spend time with both sides of our families.

It was a busy couple of days, but it worth it!

Then the rest of the weekend was very low key, which consisted of...

cleaning the home, doing a ton of laundry, cooking lots of homemade meals...

you know, the whole "domestic" thing. It was nice.

miserable at work...and dear god do I need to get my roots done! 

Unfortunately, the timing couldn't be any worse. . .

I have come down with a horrible nasty cold!

Fortunately though, I am entering a five day weekend!

Tomorrow, the fiance and I will be heading to my parents house in Northern Wisconsin, 

where my whole family will be (parents, brothers, sister-in-law, niece and nephew!)

This will be the first time we'll all be together since Andrew and I got engaged, 

(my brother and his family live in Kansas)

 so I'm excited to see everyone!

Then after we indulge in one Thanksgiving meal, 

Andrew and I will head back to Minnesota and spend the rest of Thanksgiving with his family.

They always do a big get together, so it will be nice to see his extended family and friends again!

Now, let's just hope I can beat this cold quickly so I don't feel horrible the whole time!
