Happy mid-week, lovelies! How are you all holding up this week? I'm on the last day of the juice cleanse and it's going pretty well. I'm not hungry at all and spare a few aches and pains, I'm fairing pretty well. I'm just really happy to be giving my body a break from all those bad {I know they're really good!} for you things.
It will be interesting to see how I'm able to incorporate this into my every day life. I'm hoping to be able to take care of myself while still getting to enjoy all of the perks of the summer. My plan is to eat clean 2 or 3 days a week during the week and then allow myself to fully enjoy the weekends.
And speaking of weekends, I'm so excited because we've been planning our summer in Fire Island! Since I get long weekends throughout the summer I'm hoping to spend as much time on the beach as possible and it looks like that's the way it's going to be. Can't wait! :)
Do you all have summer plans yet? Vacations, weekends at the beach? Get your swimsuits ready cause it'll be here before you know it!
Hope you all enjoy the day! xoxo

Ahh so jealous of your glorious sunshine, it is freeeezing cold here! Well done on your cleanse, you must be feeling amazing! xo
Dawn, so glad the juice cleanse has not been too rough. I need to get on the ball w/ a summer vacation. Having teens means that they want to have friends come along. The good thing is, that Jordan can drive so they can go their own way. I think I need to visit the city to come see you! If Tim goes on business I'm tagging along. xo
my summer plans are just a lot of trips for work... and a few weddings too!!
Happy to hear about the cleanse Dawn, Im excited to start juicing over the weekend!

Hi sweetie Dawn! Oh my gosh, I saw the image of the Orange Julius and it brought back memories! I used to order one occasionally when I was out shopping and watched how they made it. Then I came across a recipe that involved orange juice concentrate, milk and ice in a blender ... don't remember if there was sugar added too, but it turned out foamy and delicious and would occasionally serve the drink when having a brunch ;) Happy Wednesday!
Yay for summer Fridays - you lucky lady!

Your new diet sounds great, Dawn. It will do wonders, I'm sure. I'm already dreaming of summer and seaside weekends. I really need a long vacation though. No plans yet, but I should get on that. You'll have a fabulous time in Fire Island. xoxo
YAAY for summer! ♥
This is my last week at school, then my holiday begins. I'm so excited! I have no special plans, but I love living like a vampire ;D Love the freedom and warmth of summer ♥

Long weekends at the beach sounds amazing.
Cleanse for 2-3 days a week actually sounds doable for me. Maybe I'll consider this one.
I'm so glad the cleanse is going well, Yay! During our Australian summer P and I are heading off to Timor Leste, very excited! Have a great day ladies :)
i used to do a semi detox every Monday to cleanse myself of all the weekend binging...

Hi Dawn,

Happy day

Which cleans are you on? I'm so scared of having to run to ladies room all day! :(
I love Fire Island, my aunt got married on that island, so beautiful! Summer snuck up on me, time to start planning!
Yeah I try to eat healthy during the week so that I can splurge on the weekends!
Hi, darling!! No definite plans yet, but plenty of idea floating around in my head :)
Hope you're having a wonderful week so far!! xoxoxo
that beach walk photo makes me think of Pt Willunga - one of my last summer golden finds....hope you are getting lots of sunshine rays dear Dawn, TK xx
i'm trying to make summer plans right now. blink is touring, yay!
That's awesome that you're making it through in spades with the cleanse. I need to do one too although sadly beach trips outside the one at the end of the street look meager. Restaurant is almost open and that means end of fun. wah
xo,

These photos have inspired me completely for summer, so gorgeous!! Congrats on your juice cleanse, it doesn't sound easy but I know exactly what you mean. When I get on a health kick, I just feel so much better about what I'm putting inside my body. Why is it so hard to stay on a healthy kick?!? Well, you have inspired me to try and deny so much of this socal Mexican food and get back to nutrients! :) So exciting about your summer plans too!

Oh you lucky girl! Long weekends are the best. Gives me a chance to recover well from the week.
long weekends is the best way to do it in the summer. are you coming to europe?
Good for you, Dawn! There is nothing easy about doing a cleanse, so I applaud your success! As for travel, it will a busy Summer so just quick weekend trips for me... though still fun :)
Oh yes, I could use a beach and a smoothie. I've done the lemon juice/cayenne thing a few years in a row. This year i'm just trying to exercise more. We'll see what happens.
