~a sneak peek of my upcoming Joss & Main sale~

I am so excited to share with you today that I will be curating for my third

 Joss and Main 

sale which will run

 July 8 through July 15th.

I think this may be my favorite one!

Check out a sampling of some of the items that will be

 available for sale, at discounted prices of course.

How cool are these products???

I tell ya what, I will definitely be shopping from my own sale. 

Those angel wings will be coming to live with me and I want that chair for my desk in my kitchen.

Ok, I also wanted to give you a update on my sugar detox because I have made it a whole week!

Many of you asked for the link to who I am going through.

You can click here to find them.

I am going through Marta, she is amazing!

The good news is that I am down 8 pounds in 1 week!

I have gotten rid of that puffy bloated look and feeling.

My energy levels still aren't where they used to be but my clothes are fitting better and I actually wore a bikini yesterday. 

I have more headaches than usual, but this is all part of the detox.

My body got so used to all the crap I was putting in it, it's fighting me.

The food choices are not that hard. 

I've been eating a lot of bacon, turkey burgers, sunflower seeds, and my favorite, blueberries. 

And I am drinking a TON of water.

Anyway, contact Marta here if you'd like more info. I believe she has another course coming up.

Congratulations {Kathornburgh}

to the winner of the cuff giveaway!

I hope you will love your beYOUtiful bracelet from the cuff chic!

I am on day 3 of the sugar detox.

It hasn't been horrible.

On day 2 I was super tired and basically had zero energy.

I haven't had too many sugar cravings but the no dairy and wheat is a tad hard.

I am down 6 pounds in 3 days.

That's a bonus but I am hoping my allergies will go away and hoping my energy levels will go up.

I don't feel super hungry, I attribute that to all the protein I've been eating.

I hear once you hit day 5 energy levels go up, I hope so!

~sugar detox~{day 1}

Hello.

My name is Melaine, and I am a sugar addict.

A latte without vanilla? 

Unheard of.

Pancakes without pure maple syrup?

No thanks.

Sliced strawberries without sugar on top?

Why?

So I am curious. 

I am curious to see if my allergies will get better after no sugar, wheat, and dairy.

I am curious to see if I will have more energy.

I am curious to see if my "puffiness" will go away.

14 days.

I can do this, and hopeful I can keep it up longer.

I found this article helpful and you may too if you are interested in doing a sugar detox as well.

Wish me luck!

xoxo
