Be Beaming After This Organic Cleanse Developed By A San Diego Mom

November 10, 2011

I have done several juice cleanses over the past year after feeling “bleh” due to the holidays, travel or what have you. I am a horrible dieter, but how I look and feel afterward is worth 3 days of juice. I’ve enjoyed both cleanses I’ve done, but Beaming is different. It’s organic, involves a salad I would order at a restaurant (hallelujah!), and the juices have more of a gourmet feel to them. It’s all [...]

Several times already this year, I’ve hesitated whether or not to send La Jolla Girl to school. I’m pretty strict about keeping her home and always err on the side of caution.

I Just Fought Off a Cold With Some of This (Plus Whole Foods Giveaway)

December 14, 2009

I woke up feeling absolutely horrible 2 days later. I took some immunity supplements compliments of Whole Foods that I’d been sent to try about a month ago. They had been sitting in the pantry waiting for use, and my [...]
