Nephi

I spent some time at my grandpas house today in Nephi with my mom. His house is so old it still relies on a wood burning stove. It is beautiful. I love it there. Plus, he has a cute cat. Also, a huge backyard with wood, wood, and more wood.
...for the wood burning stove. And tunnels.

(I only had my cell phone, so excuse the quality.)

Ragnar

I have a new project. It's called running. I have decided to run the Ragnar race in Utah with 11 of my friends... who will also be running. I am writing it down, so that this project doesn't die. Because this is a really exciting goal! I will be checking in with running updates, and Ragnar talk throughout the next several months. Wish me luck!

Xoxo,

Juice: Beetnik

This is one of my favorite juicing recipes. I call it BEETNIK. One day I just threw in some random veggies and fruits, (as juicing always seems to go) and decided, this is the one. I love juicing beets. I think that they make some of the most amazing juice ever. On top of that beet juice is one of the most nutritional juices for you. Some of the health benefits and healing powers of beets are:

•    anemia

•    liver

•    skin

•    kidneys

•    lymphatic circulation

•    tiredness

•    eye

•    live

•    skin problems

•    detoxifications

•    cancer

•    anti-fungal 

•    anti-inflamatory properties

Enjoy my juice recipe. And heads up. Beet juice (especially if you juice 3 whole beets like I do) is going to do some serious cleaning out of your liver. If you see your stool and urine change to a dark red color, don't freak out. Just know that your beets are doing their job!

2 Oranges

Juice: Citrus Bliss

Juicing. I cannot tell you how amazing it really is. I believe SO strongly in juicing and the benefits that you can receive from it. If you don't have a juicer, or you know nothing about juicing, I am going to recommend a few documentaries to you so that you can better understand it.

If you have Netflix then you know that there are some crazy amazing documentaries on food. If you didn't know this, then I am going to say GO LOOK THEM UP! They will seriously change your life and make you really think about what you are putting into your body. I will start reviewing the ones that I have seen so you now what you are getting yourself into.

Food Matters: an amazing documentary that ends with a great section on musing and why you should really do it.
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead: this follows the personal stories of people who are going through a juice fast and show them really getting healthy from juicing!

These are the first two documentaries that I suggest watching to get a hold on juicing. If you are already juicing, then good for you! Here is a recipe that I think is so yummy.

Citrus Bliss

3 Oranges

1 Grapefruit

1 Lemon 

1 Thumb of Ginger (for an awesome kick!)

Directions: I like to take my knife and cut off the majority of the peels on all of the fruit, and then 1, 2, 3, chuck it all in your juicer!





To Health, my friends
