Be Well Expo

Hey guys!

I want to share an exposition I went to last Sunday.

Now there are lots of conventions and Expo catered to professional skin therapists, Spas, massage therapists as well as dermatologist within the skincare and beauty industry. However, The Be Well Expo launched this year was the first exposition that was open to professionals and most importantly consumers.

In the past, it was usually professionals that attended the conventions sampled new high-quality professional products on the market for their spas or businesses and purchase wholesale prices. The ways you could attend these conventions were to be a professional skin therapist, business owners, or wholesale distributors-- either way you had have proof of license.

What's amazing about the Be Well Expo is that the public consumers to view, play, and get information on the country's most top-of-the-line brands that were offers in high-end Spas, or dermatologists office. The sources that you get are directly from the company's representatives.

Here's a video to give you guys a look of what you may find at the next annual Be Well Expo.

Wellness October

Salutation and welcome to the month of October!

Besides my birthday being in November and lovely wintry weather in December, my favorite month of all time has got to be October. although this month is famous for Halloween, October is also the national wellness month. The North American Vegetarian Society and The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation among many other organizations, all participate in October to raise more awareness.

With that being said, I would like to share an amazing documentary about Joe cross and his inspiring journey to reboot his body and improved his health.


If you are not familiar with the documentary film, follow this link and you watch the film for free.

The documentary talks about how Joe felt stranded at the age of 40 being 210 pounds, obviously overweight, and trapped taking medication for a skin reaction that was caused by his eating habits. destined for change and committed, Joe evaluated the fuel [food] he was consuming and amended his lifestyle. while in the process he noticed he had more energy and focus, and most importantly he stopped relying on medications and his chronic skin reaction went away along with excess unwanted weights. what was more inspiring, was a story of Phil Riverstone and his amazing journey from being 400 pounds overweight--but I'll you watch the film. prepare to be mind blowin' away by the way...

I got so excited and inspired that I made it my personal challenge to juice and eat only fresh vegetables and fruits for the first 10 days of October and see how it affects my body.

After the 10 days, your body will reboot with tons of micro-nutrients from the vegetables and fruits you consumed, that you can maintain that lifestyle of eating more fresh food to improve your health.

Currently I'm in my seventh day, and I FEEL GREAT! Positive mood and energy has increased substantially,  and I sleep much better at night and wake up before my alarm clock goes off before the crack of dawn--- this is most incredible because I haven't done that in years. And of course, I did lose some weights, 5 pound to be exact and will probably continue to lose more.

Similar to the Joe's skin condition, I have had eczema since I was a child and I'm happy to say that I ditched using topical medication to maintain it---it is now sitting in a box collecting dust. A BIG HAPPY SMILE TO THAT :) 

By the way, is all happened within the third day of the challenge.

Since I'm almost done with my 10 days, I can't wait to share the changes with you guys!

For the month of October, I'll be posting juicing recipes, cooking recipes, and tips on how you can make your own vegetable mask with the left over pulps.

Lastly, I encourage whoever is reading my blog to consider making healthy changes, not just for this month or the next, or in hoping that you'll lose weight and be prettier--which I don't doubt that you aren't to begin with, but more importantly for the wellness of your life. Take it slow one day at a time until you submerge your mind and body to the amend behaviors that eventually it is second nature to you. You don't think it, you realize it, you just do.

Here is the challenges:

for three, five, 10, or 15 days, to consume only fresh vegetables or fruits without eating meat, and dairy products, processed food, or starchy grains.
