Summertime Cleanse
Filed Under Blog, Health, Seasonal | Leave a Comment
It’s hot, the clothes are minimal (especially the skirt lengths), bathing suits are a must and delicious fruit is in it’s most prime season. Time to do a fruit cleanse! Pick one type of fruit a day and for seven days eat nothing but that fruit all day long. If this is too drastic for you then eat the fruit all day long and then allow yourself a satisfying healthy dinner at night.
This fruit splurge is an amazing way to cleanse your digestive system, hydrate your body and your skin and give your system a jump start of vitamins and minerals. If you really want to jump start your health and beauty add the fresh squeezed juice of the fruit you pick to this fruit indulgence along with a healthy dose of mineral water, once you taste fresh watermelon juice you’ll be hooked. Your skin will glow, you’ll have more energy, and you’ll feel great!
When cleansing your body make sure you drink lots of water and exfoliate your body and your face. While detoxifying your body tends to slough off all of it’s impurities, using an exfoliant will keep your skin glowing and feeling soft.
Some wonderful fruit for cleansing:
Papaya: This fruit contains amazing digestive enzymes to sooth and protect your stomach, it is also high in antioxidants and vitamin C. Papaya is great for cleansing particularly if you eat a lot of meat.
Watermelon: This fruit is chocked full of water, hence the name, and is an excellent way to rehydrate yourself and your skin, a great way to thoroughly cleanse your system.
Pineapple: Like Papaya, Pineapple is great for cleansing and contains digestive enzymes. It is also wonderful to get rid of any excess water retention.
Mango: In season now and it tastes amazing! Research has shown mangoes to bring about a reduced risk of colon and cervical cancer. In addition mangoes are very high in beta carotene.
* You may experience some slight stomach discomfort at the beginning of this regimen, it’s normal so don’t worry, you’re system is just cleaning itself out.

If you haven’t tried LaLicious yet, I just have one question for you: what are you waiting for? These body butters make your skin so soft and smell so good, you might just throw everything else in your body butter collection away. Maybe you are waiting for a summer scent that takes you to the tropics? If so, I have the thing you’ve been waiting for! It’s the heat of the summer and I say take a vacation every day in your bathroom, bring the islands to you!
The moment you smell the LaLicious Island Guava body butter you are going to feel like you are sitting under a palm tree on the white sand drinking guava juice while you are fanned with island leaves. Sound enticing? Don’t stop there! The Coconut Cream body butter smells so insanely delicious, you will want to know if you can drink it. Unfortunately, LaLicious is not yet making coconut cream pies, but wearing this all day you’ll feel like you’re bitting into one at every moment.
If you are in need of a vacation and you love the smell of the tropics bring these body butters into your daily routine, you skin will never feel so soft and pampered as it will with these.

Nima Taherzadeh

The designer to keep your eye on right now is 24-year-old Iranian-born Nima Taherzadeh. Recently graduated from Parson’s, this winner of Parson’s Silver and Gold Thimble awards, debuted his collection at Saks in December of 2006, stating that his collection is “effortless, simple, functional, wearable and modern”.
His collection, by the name Nima, combines a super sexy feminine feel with a sleek up to the minute city vibe. I am loving these clothes! They bring to mind a certain sexiness that Audrey Hepburn had, but with a little more of a naughty edge. His black trench just begs for black patent heels and red nails with a smoky eye and I especially love the peek-a-boo strip of black mesh on his taupe shift.
This designer is hot, hot, hot and so is the dress for summer. So if they’re not already gone grab one of these gorgeous, sleek and very wearable dresses from Saks now and keep your eye out for his fall collection, I have a feeling it will take you by storm.
