Be Kind To Your Body

I have been educating myself about foods latetly, and how everything is processed in this country; and let me just say I am not very happy! ...

So, I decided to stop eating meat about 4 months ago; so far I am not craving it and I am loving this new life style. I am not a full vegetarian since I still consume dairy products; just trying to eat as less processed food as possible, and less meat.

While doing my research I came accross "THE KIND DIET" this book is written by Alicia Silverstone, I was very into it. Most of the things she explains in her book I was already aware of, but reading it again just gave me a HUGE reminder of why I choose this new lifestyle!... If any of you choose to make this big change in your life, please be aware that you have to be prepared for the mental, emotinal and physical change that comes with it.
If you are not ready for this committment, then take it slow :) and do your research and make the best decision for yourself and your family.

I totally recommend this book as well as this documentary called "FORKS OVER KNIVES"; it also explains how the meat world works and how it can affect your health and risks involved.

If you want to stay healthy and live a longer life, I recommend you to do certain changes towards your current lifestyle. If you are happy with the way you eat, look and feel. Then keep doing what you are doing :); but I think it is helpful for everyone to be aware of what they put in their bodies, and if you dont care... then good for YOU! LOL.. Sometimes I wish I didnt read all the things I do, I feel like the more I educate myself the less I wanna know! haha But in all honesty! it is better to be aware than not knowing at all.

After all, you are the only one who will live in your body until the day you die, some might die sooner than others because of their lifestyle! But! again.. IS YOUR BODY and YOUR CHOICES! so choose carefully!!

EDUCATE YOURSELF! AND BE HAPPY!!! :)

Honey, Clean Your Face!

Ok... last time I posted a home made recipe facial mask, most of you freaked out because my face was actually on the picture! haha. Not this time, just to avoid further heart attacks and people going into shock mode! haha

This time I will share a new way I found to clean my face, in a healthy way/cheap way.
I am lucky to have a lemon tree in my backyard! but if you are not as lucky; this is all you will need:

LEMON
HONEY

THAT SIMPLE! , put some honey on the lemon.. and scrub your face with it! Sure it might burn a little if you have pimples! But you will feel it right away!.

Totally recommend it!! TRY IT! and let me know how it goes!!

Shoot Your Husband!!

So, most of you might be thinking... WHAT!? SHOOT YOUR HUSBAND?.. haha YES! that is right!.

I have been planning to go do Paintball with my husband forever now!, I finally found this amazing offer on Groupon (because, I also try to save money like any normal responsible adult) haha. But anyway found this Groupon about a package to go do Paintball for 2, so I jumped all over it.
I've had it for a couple of months now, but I finally decided to make reservations and take Mike (my husband) and surprise him on a little afternoon date. It is fun to still DATE your husband after so many years together, it keeps the relationship fresh and not boring.

When we arrived to the place Mike was scared but yet excited, because he knew it was going to be painful (so did I)! haha. I told the lady at the place that I wanted to go against Mike and not have him on my team! and this is why!; haha I WANTED HIM TO SHOOT AT ME, and I WANTED TO SHOOT AT HIM! (sure call it build up frustration) haha But, it was sooo much fun. At first he wasnt so sure about shooting me, once we went out on the field! he was all about trying to get me! and shoot at me as many times as possible! haha.

This experience was so much fun! but the best part is that Mike was paired up with a random guy, and I was paired up with some other random guy, so when we all went out there, of course my partner was first one out (just my luck), so it was me against Mike and his partner, I made sure I stayed in my spot and shoot only when necessary!...Mike, eventually run out of paint so he had to get out of the game and at the end it was me and this random stranger shooting at each other. Again, he run out of paint as well hehe, so this mean I WAS THE WINNER!! at the end of all this! haha 3 boys againts one strong girl! ME!!! hehehe.

The whole experience was awesome, because it was not about me winning (maybe a little LOL) but it was about experiencing something new with Mike, and he realized that shooting at each other for fun WITH PAIN! wasnt too bad after all. Today is the day after this whole paintball incident, and I noticed I have a couple of bruises on me haha the excitment and adreneline helped me block the pain when I was shot at, but I am sure feeling it today haha.

Conclusion, do activities with your husband that is good for the two of you! and enjoy each other's company, because once you say I DO... it is just the two of you at the end of this whole so called "LIFE"..., kids grow up and live their own lives, and all you have is each other at the end, so if you have to shoot each other for fun then do so! and be HAPPY!! :)
