I couldn’t resist starting the day by taking pictures of this amazing bouquet my husband surprised me with yesterday. They are huge, I have trouble holding them together with both hands and the giant roses smell incredibly aromatic with the eucalyptus. They’ve managed to fill three vases in the house and now I have blooms scattered literally in every room. He certainly knows that flowers are a way to my heart.

I feel that the dark weather has taken a toll on my body, so I wanted to boost my energy and start the day with a cleansing green juice that is packed with vitamins. As I have mentioned before, drinking green juices can be the best thing you can do to your body as the green leaves are optimal for regenerating, purifying and healing your body. I love how the nutrition is instantly absorbed through liquid form giving your mind and body a blast of powerful goodness. Without going too much into detail, green juices are amazing for healthy glowing skin (vitamin C & E), improved energy, weight loss and have high levels of amino acids/ antioxidants that benefit in numerous ways. Everything is connected to each other; they help the skin/organs (liver) to remove toxins, improves immune system, helps sleep better, aid in cell growth (vitamin A) and give your body a real healthy boost. The key is to drink all kinds of dark leafy greens and vegetables in raw form and avoid adding too many fruit into the juice to avoid sugar. Find the recipe below for a detox juice, that I started the day with today! For a more filling format, add banana, avocado and oat milk for a creamy effect.
