Flu Fighting Juice by theorganicbunny on September 5, 2015 I am going to keep this blog pretty simple and to the point, mostly because I still am sick and have no energy to type up an elaborate blog. Most of you know I have been pretty sick and now that I am feeling a tad better, with enough energy to actually walk to the kitchen, I really wanted to load up on some natural foods to really fight off this flu for once and for all. Whenever your immune system is feeling down or weak here are some of the best fruits and veggies to load up on! Immune Boosting Fruits, Veggies & Spices- Ginger- I used to hate ginger but after learning about how good it was for me, I’ve found a new love and appreciation for this spicy little root. Another way to fight inflammation and bacteria, Ginger is a very effective root to add to juices when sick thanks to Gingerol, the bioactive substance in it which helps lower the risk of infection. Cayenne Pepper– Cayenne Pepper is one of my all-time favorite spices to cook with, but did you know that by adding it to your juices you can ease upset stomachs, ulcers, sore throats, and irritating coughs? Cayenne pepper also aids in breaking up and moving congested mucus which means relief from flu symptoms generally follows making this one of the best detoxifying ingredients ever. Lemon– Not only are lemons known to fight the free radical formulations known to cause cancer, they’re also great for fighting the flu. Lemons are high in Vitamin C which helps the immune system battle germs that cause a cold or flu. Even sipping on warm water with lemon and cayenne pepper each day is extremely beneficial for preventing these illnesses from happening in the first place. Read More
Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X Review by theorganicbunny on September 4, 2015 I have wanted laser hair removal for the loonnngest time, but because of the super high cost and need for various, inconvenient office visits, I have yet to try it out, that was until now. I saw this Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X at Sephora a while back and have had my eye on it ever since. I began reading more about it, learning the risks as well as the success rates, and after hearing almost all rave reviews I decided to try it out for myself. I have always been envious of the girls with barely there hair, so I am really hoping that this helps thin my coarse hair out, eventually eliminating it once and for all. This Tria Hair Removal Laser 4x is the first and only FDA-cleared hair removal laser available for home use, using the same diode laser technology preferred by dermatologists. The Tria Laser 4X targets and permanently disables the hair follicle to stop hair growth on the face and body for permanent results, score. I was very concerned that there would be radiation or skin damage risks associated with this device and honestly, I have yet to read anything alarming enough to prevent me from trying it out. This device comes with a skin sensor that scans your color of skin and lets you know if it is safe for your pigment or not. You also are urged to test patches of your skin on low settings before so you can gage your skin’s reaction to the treatment before going to town on your entire body. Read More
