Starting My Wellness Journey, One Juice at a Time
It’s been about a month now since we settled into our new home here in Texas. Coming from Massachusetts, it’s definitely been a journey — one filled with excitement, adjustment, and a little bittersweetness. Leaving Massachusetts meant leaving behind a familiar rhythm, but it’s also given me something I didn’t realize I needed: space to breathe.
As I start my job search, I’m taking things slow — really thinking about what I feel passionate about and what aligns with this new chapter. The downtime has been… well, different. At first, it felt strange not to be constantly busy, but now I’m learning to appreciate it. I’m enjoying being present with my family — and for the first time in a long time, truly present with myself.
With that said, moving to a new area and new home means trying new things. My hope is that the fun discoveries I come across — whether it’s local spots, new foods, or wellness and beauty finds — will inspire you too.
Right now, I’m kicking things off with a little reset: a one-day cleanse from Pressed Juicery. I’m about halfway through my juices, and honestly, I feel great. Every few hours, just as hunger starts to creep in, it’s time for the next bottle. It’s keeping me mindful and refreshed — exactly what I needed to start feeling balanced again.
Here’s to slowing down, embracing change, and finding new ways to nourish both mind and body.
Starting My Wellness Journey, One Juice at a Time
I couldn’t just ignore the fact that I actually finished my cleanse yesterday and well lets just say I cheated. Around 7 p.m., the hunger definitely kicked in. You know how it goes — the kids never quite finish their dinner, and as I was cleaning up and chatting with my husband, I took a small bite of chicken. Instant regret! But hey, I think I’ll survive.
This morning I felt a bit bloated (honestly, still kind of do), but I’m hopeful tomorrow I’ll feel more balanced.
Since I couldn’t unwind with a glass of wine last night, I decided to go all in on pampering instead. I treated myself to a facial — my favorite is Lush cosmetics, one I used last night was Don’t Look at Me and but couldnt go without mentioning the Mask of Magnaminty, both amazing. We always keep them in the fridge, and with this Texas heat, that cool feeling on my skin is everything.
Despite the lingering bloat, I woke up this morning with glowing skin — so I’ll take that as a win!
