“I am so frickin’ cool and delicious and pretty and witty and sharp! I love every inch of me! Who wouldn’t?" 
– Kris Carr’s Affirmation for day 3

I managed to stay strong and keep to the path so far,  apart from eating an easter-egg on day one, I have stayed completely toxin free. 

I have enjoyed the diet so far – Day 3 was supposed to be the first hump day. Detox signs can include pimples, upset stomach, and pimples, these however are all good signs as it is a symptom of  toxins leaving your body. I seem to be skipping them for now though.

Whereas time slipped away from me yesterday in regards to a blog post, I also decided to swap my exercise time for study. Today, I usually would have gone down to the gym for some weight training and running, but I was in the mood for Yoga, which is becoming the normal for me. I  plan to do some relaxing meditation and breathe work before I go to sleep tonight.

I have certainly lost weight in the past couple of days, but the one thing I notice the most is my bloating-free tummy, it’s becoming much flatter with the thorough chewing of my\ food, good hydration, and mostly due to my happy sunlight filled diet. 

I feel my motivation is a little lower than it was on day one. I was found it a little hard to concentrate at university today, but that may be due to some overdue play time with friends.

Staying toxin free means trying to remove as many chemicals from your life as possible, including your skin-care and makeup.I have been using coconut oil as my main body moisturizer now for months and my skin is glowing. Nothing else is needed! I find that the coconut oil (good to buy one you could include in your cooking too), is all my skin, and hair needs to stay shiny and smooth. I have recently switched up my skin-care  from Clinique to Kora. Kora is very expensive and I was lucky that my mother decided to buy me something useful instead of fattening for easter as a present. If Kora is out of your price range there is no need to fear there are plenty of cheaper alternatives available. However all organic skin-care is going to chip into your finances a little, so what? Do you want beautiful skin or not? When it comes to my makeup, I am yet to save funds to do a swap, but I will update you as soon as I do.

By the way, my skin is almost completely blemished free after a week of using Kora. It always has a dewy appearance, and, no make-up is needed for cover-up! I hope you all find joy using organic skin-care products just as much as I do!
