Sambazon 3-day cleanse




              
       Hello! I recently did this Sambazon 3-day cleanse to help me jumpstart getting back in shape and   I wanted to review this product since there are not a lot of reviews out there about this product!! This cleanse had a meal plan suggested with the three drinks that came with it and I did not follow their meal plan. I did follow how they want you to eat small meals every 3 hours. I basically ate different foods than they told you to in the handbook.
      For example, the meal plan suggests for Day 1 breakfast that you eat 10-15 raw nuts and 10 oz. of 'Prepare' Acerola Cherry + Lemon + Cayeene Superfood Juice and for Mid-Morning Snack make a Quinoa Bowl. Instead since I didn't have almonds or raw nuts at home I drank the 10 oz of 'Prepare' and then my own green juice packed with kale, spinach, apples, etc.... Then for lunch you drink the 'Elminate' and a red potato and green bean salad with mustard I replaced that with a bowl of cereal that contained 14g of fiber and then later for the Mid-day snack you have to drink the 'Recharge'. The handbook has a meal for dinner too but, it saids you can replace it with "liquid courage" which means you replace a solid meal for a soup or whatever. Instead I just drank my green juice for dinner. For snacks I would eat string cheese if I got hungry. I didn't follow their meal plan because, I didn't feel like buying all those groceries and prepping them. I thought my own meals and still drinking their drinks worked for me well. They want you to control your proportions and eat healthy foods that will aid in detoxifying and cleansing your body. The foods that I replaced from their suggestions were packed with vitamins, protein, fiber, potassium, and all that good stuff so really I think that it was the same thing. They do have a list of foods that you can replace so, I don't think that you have to follow accordingly to what they suggest if you also don't want to pick up and prep all those meals! I posted a picture of the drinks nutritional labels incase you wanted to see it! My favorite drink out of the three was the Eliminate ( kale + apple + cucumber + parsley).
     This 3-day cleanse does not make you lose instant weight if that is what you were looking for. I started this 3-day cleanse at the end of my summer around August 30th-September 1st and after that I stuck to eating small meals and snacking more. I measured my body on September 4th of the following measurements: Arms 11 1/4 in, Waist 26.5in., Hips 31in., Thighs 19in., and Calves 13in. Since then I have lost weight but I did not measure my body again yet because I want to measure it after two months to see how much I have lost. So, overall I did think that this 3-day cleanse helped me un-bloat and kick start my journey to a hot body! Tell me if you tried it and how you feel about it!

Nocturnal Wonderland 2013!

Here is a picture of my Nocturnal Wonderland 2013 experience!! I had an amazing time and I wanted to share my makeup and outfit look! :) My makeup was inspired by Lisa Eldridge of her Rosie Huntington makeup look with One Direction! For my outfit I am wearing a top from Tobi shop, and my shorts are silver with a sequin belt around the waist from American Apparel (which I cant find on the website anymore), I just added a sequins strap on it to give it sparkle! It was the best weekend ever!! xx

How to Save Powder Makeup!

Everything happens for a reason. It was fate that brought me my order of Wet n' Wild Eyeshadows and blushes in broken shape. The packaging wasn't as great or the shipping was what caused my eyeshadows and blushes to break. Although, Drugstore's customer service did send me a new order for the damaged products! After, I received the new products one of the items did still break so, I took it upon myself to learn how to fix the damaged makeup products from the first order I originally ordered and the new order sent to me. This is how it turned out...


 1. Empty the cracked powder into a sandwich bag or whatever you prefer and clean the pan up.


2. With the powder in the sandwich bag I smashed it gently to make it a consistent powder. Pour the contents onto the pan and mix it with alcohol. I used a decent amount of alcohol to make it a good consistency to mix. Use a smooth surface tool( End side of butter knife in picture).

 
4. Smooth it out after mixing the powder and alcohol.




5. Dab with a napkin until all the alcohol is drenched. Let it sit and now you're done! I did this at night so, I let it sit over night. 

Finished product!
This was my first time fixing a product!
Hope this helps you! Enjoy! xx
