Welcoming 2015 with South Block

Michelle Martin — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:29:39 +0000

2014 has come and gone as quick as the holidays did. We both can admit that we over indulged a bit this holiday season, it’s pretty hard not to. There are just too many temptations that this time of year brings, with holiday parties, gatherings and then there is always mom’s apple pie and you know you can’t pass that up. 2015 is now here and like many others out there, we needed to get back on track and set up our goals for the year ahead. We both wanted to set realistic goals that were challenging yet still attainable. Consistent work out routines and healthier eating habits will be just the foundation to this success. 2015 will be our year, both in work and in health! Our first step was to hit up our favorite local juice cafe, South Block, they always help us when we feel like eating habits have taken a turn for the worse. We have been huge fans of their 3 day juice cleanse and we knew it was much needed after our holiday overindulgence. Juice cleanses aren’t for everyone but it doesn’t have to be. You can always supplement these juices in to your diet to […]

South Block Juice Cleanse Review + Giveaway

admin — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:57:46 +0000

We partnered up with South Block Cafe to give one of our lucky readers a Free 3 Day Juice Cleanse but first we had to try it for ourselves! And here is our review.. Michelle Day Before Prep: I have tried several juice cleanses in the past and strongly suggest prepping before and after a cleanse. Considering the prep is just as important as the actual juices used. I do this by cutting out all meat, sugar, caffeine and alcohol from my diet a few days before hand. For this prep, I started my morning off with a warm mug of water and lemon along with a bowl of mixed berries. I made a green smoothie to go and drank it when I started to get a little hungry at work. For dinner, I ate a spinach salad topped with cucumbers and tomatoes and used lemon juice for dressing. This was followed by a light salmon and cooked spinach. By prepping with food from ingredients contained in the actual juices, it made the process so much easier and even caused me to crave these foods after the cleanse rather than burgers and fries.
