DAY 4, 5, 6, 7

So I've been slacking on blog updates but the good news is...I've stayed strong and haven't cheated or stopped doing the cleanse! Friday ended my food AND juice cleanse and since Saturday I have only had juice.  I have decided to end the just juice cleanse early however because I'm constantly hungry and think that the short 5 day cleanse will be good for my body, but then I can just continue to eat healthy. (but more...so I'm not always hungry haha, or HANGRY).



Friday was tough because I drove up to Portland with my mom to try on wedding dresses :)...but that meant I had to pack food for an entire day. I packed a salad, a banana, 4 apples, some strawberries, and a smoothie.  This stuff wasn't on the meal plan but I figured fruit and veggies were a safe bet.

The just juice cleanse has been pretty tough and I have to admit that I have eaten some grapes, an apple, and some raisins just because I needed some actually food.  I made a cake on Saturday for some odd reason- but I just really love baking.  AND I didn't eat any of it! For me, that's a huge accomplishment haha.

Today is Monday, Day 3 and I've lost around 7lbs.  I'm feeling better! My mind is clear, I have energy at times... (it comes and goes), but overall I've felt pretty well.  Only three days left! The cleanse plan included beets in some of the juices, which I have realized is so nasty.  But good for you!! Below are some of the pictures of juices I have made. I am kind of excited for it to be over though :)...

No words needed.

Names are only so helpful--> but pictures! That's what draws people in.  Could be a memory of a time, or the feeling you get when you picture yourself in that situation.  The power of photography is huge . Pictures can take you back to a moment you had-- one that you could never go back and repeat, and it gives you joy.  Photography can also cause laughter, and quite frequently--embarrassment.  For those pictures, thankfully there is a delete button.  But compare this post to my last one.  Instead of the names of all of the cities and countries to visit on a Eurotrip , try pictures .  See if it entices you more.  These pictures correlate with the list of cities in my previous blogpost... but I will have to split it in half and show you the first fifteen in this post, the last 16 in the next.. :)

Tiffany & Co Bridal Shower

So you've seen my Coral themed bridal shower (For those of you that haven't, you should definitely check it out here ) but as my duties as a maid of honor, I was given the opportunity and privilege to host my cousin's bridal shower.  When I asked her what she wanted as a theme- she knew instantly.  "Breakfast at Tiffany's".  I had no idea how many great ideas I would find on Pinterest under this category, but let me tell you- there was millions!  It was so fun.  We had it this last saturday at the same place I had mine at- so some of the things look pretty similar, just in a different color.  Everyone was asked to wear black which was adorable, and the bride wore a black and white dress so she stood out.  She looked so beautiful.

10 Reasons Why Japan is Wonderful

Japan is a very special, unique little place.  Well- it’s not THAT little. Especially when it holds a population of around 127 million.  But what makes Japan so great?  Because as soon as you step on their soil, you know there is something wonderful about the place.  I’ve compiled a list of interesting characteristics about Japan and its people that have captured my love for this foreign, hello-kitty loving, beautiful place.   CUSTOMER SERVICE.  I haven’t been somewhere that has such great customer service.  They will literally run to get you what you asked for, or run around to try and make sure that the customer is happy.  I once asked about a product in the grocery store and they ran to the back of the store, bagged up what I needed, and ran it back to me in under two minutes. 2.       CUSTOMER SERVICE IN RESTAURANTS The customer service in restaurants is quite different than in the U.S.  Typically, they have a button at the table that you press when you are ready t
