Protein packed

I am not going to be getting back to focusing on Wellness Wednesdays or really you could consider this information weird but I am sharing anyways. For my Wellness Wednesdays I will be combining a recapture of what I had to nourish my body for the previous week.

My new favorite drink and the most natural way I know how to get my protein has been ewith one of Naked's "Protein Zone" drinks. If anyone knows anything about me, than they know that I really love chocolate and than with bananas I am making the right choice. You can drink it for breakfast, lunch and dinner because it is very sweet and appropriately filling for anytime.







You may not be able to hear me but this is just a preview from my Day 7.

Day 3



On day 3 which was this past Saturday I really enjoyed some frozen yogurt in the flavors of Coconut and Peanut Butter. My fast is all about cutting out meats completely as well as seafood and heavy carbs. I'm not completely sure what seperates ice cream from frozen yogurt but I know that if yogurt is apart of the equation than that is a plus for your health.

Day1

The first drink of the day was 12 oz smoothie by Odwalla.
This really are some good stuff and more where this comes from.



Hot Mint tea in a Venti (Large) size cup



The total amount of ounces I consumed all the way to 7 PM today as be roughly around 275 which is okay but I know I have to find a way to suplement my need for protein or craving the things I would normally eat. I am quite proud of myself and anyone else who can go through the challenge of consuming only liquids for a whole month. Trust me the world is not going to end and you will not drop dead, in fact you may become more hydrated than you have ever been before.


Vibrant Color

I missed my purple haircolor so much I had to go back to it. There is just something so irresistable about vibrant rich hue and purple really fits me well. I was going for a deep purple like grape jelly but mines came out more of a cherry pie filling color.

Not my photo, but the perfect purple that is more on the deep blue side.

my results

Looks very red-purple and more cherry depending on the light


All choices from Kiss Express



This is the key to getting your hair color to last and stay vibrant. Yes, I really do love L'oreal products because they work.

Wild Week in Washington

What a wild and wacky past week it has been in DC to say the least bit. There were situations that involved spirits that wanted to cause a commontion of becoming weak just to be overcome by the enemy. How amazing to recognize the energy that people carry and that can be transfered over to someone else easily. In life we all have to stay strong so that we can not be overcome by the enemy that wants to cause turmoil and rather have everyone fight each other. I find it amazing all the energy that people were carrying just leading up to the Mrs. Carter tour.


This is how it is in every situation and scenario that plays out I am realizing. The key is to take a look outside of yourself when someone may threaten you or is evidently in bad spirits and you ask your self do I take the high road or just decide to be bad or let the negative energy transfer to you. I recently went through a situation like this that someone had the audacity to get mad at me because I had my legs cross and maybe that day just was not there's, so I ignored the bad spirit and meditate on this situation. Of course the wild intent of that someone passed and the energy must have been strong that the energy passed on to another causing commontion. I saw clear as day how people could let bad spirits take over them to disturb all the other passengers and of course I had to get off of that bus like many others. I felt threatened on the bus and well to the point that I wanted to get away from the person next to me but the bottom line is that I did get away from the confusion. Lesson from all of this as I reflect that God does work in mysterious ways and if we pay attention we really do have a lot to be thankful for.

From my wild and wacky week I am reminded that we can choose if we react with sugar or with more spice; but you really have to be prepared for all the possible outcomes that may feel bad or feel good. All of the past events including me undulging myself on some good eats has lead me up to my fast for major cleansing that is needed.


I have eaten lamb from one of my favorite spots to Lemon Pepper Catfish and Peach Cobbler from BSmith's. The last week of July has led up to my final choice in fasting with only drinking juices, smoothies and water to nourish my body.
Three tries to get things right, that's how my luck works out @ The Coupe and in life.


No more lamb, or seafood and vegetation for my cleanse.

Natural look for such a wicked week in Washington


Perfection



All photos were taken by me and I am looking forward to August as a chance to shed some pounds from consuming so many toxins.

Always Sunny

For the look I was going for a warm and neutral feel. I decided to use MAC Pro Longwear eyeshadow in "Always Sunny" as my bronzer and blush. Since I wanted to keep things natural I was not wearing eyeliner only eyeshadow and mascara. I absolutely love how great my face looks from my gloss to eyebrows.

Oh and on a side note, if you have not noticed my aura is real and you can see it in this video if you pay attention, and look closely.

Here is a good explanation of this which perfectly describes me and my connection to my surroundings on a emotional level. Oh yes feelings are everything and I can feel what is going on with animals which includes humans. Just a hint I love alley cats and have a extra tenderness to those who may have been in foster care because I love those the most who can appreciate what others take for granted.

Purple Aura:

Purple Aura people are highly psychic, attuned to the emotions and moods of others and very sensitive. People who have a predominant amount of purple in their Aura are seen as mysterious and secretive.
The Purple Aura individual possesses a philosophical, enquiring and intuitive mind. They love to learn and never stop exploring and enquiring into new subjects and areas that interest them. Because this they tend to be extremely interesting and knowledgeable people.
The Purple Aura individual does not have a wide circle of many friends. But the friends they do have are held close and are respected, admired and loved. People with a predominant purple Aura tend to be unlucky in love but once they have found their perfect soul mate is loyal and loving for life.
Purple Aura people connect well with animals and nature. They are attuned to animals and can sense their emotions and feelings. Purple Aura people tend to take in and care for strays as their loving and caring nature makes it difficult for them to turn strays away.

Sunny June


I am looking and feeling just like sunshine with MAC's Pro Longwear eyeshadow in Always Sunny which is the only way to be. The good thing about this brand is that it basically is good for being water-proof and delivering good results of lasting 24 hours plus. Also, I used Revlon Pink Cloud Shine (801) lipstick which is filled with moisture. (Do not mind the marks left on my nose from my sunglasses.) What a sunny June day that will becoming to a close with a bang.



I actually have the CC cream on my face, which is below














Looks like I am in a haze but really it is a heat wave and having a higher power watching over me.

On Cloud 9








I finally got around to filling out my application to be mailed out to the Professional Credential Services located all the way in Nashville, TN. I have been putting it off for some time (like weeks and days and hours) just to enjoy myself for awhile, but a salon owner reminded me what am I waiting for. Every once in awhile we all need a wake-up call to keep on pushing to realize the natural power we have to be responsible. I went in a circle just to get my photo taken for the license and fed a squirrel in the park on the way to FED EX to send my application through ground shipping.

Given so many choices in life the only path that matters is filled with love and all I could think of was Adele's breakout song Chasing Pavements. Whatever you believe in or don't you must know that you were created for a purpose and are part of a master plan from a higher power. The bottom line is to live the life you love and even if that leads nowhere than it was really all worth it.




On a side note: I love Adele's ivory skin and the simplicity of her look. Very natural with lip balm, black eyeliner and some blush and mascara on real eyelashes is always the right way to go.

Reactions of Chakra

From my solar plexus all the way to my throat Chakra I have been through some changes and more aware of what my body can tolerate since three months ago. In the beginning of March I kind of felt like I might be dying from some type of trauma going on in my stomach because of course I love being dramatic. Turns out I was just having a reaction from drinking only Almond Milk to tasting some cow's milk which really put me through a unpleasant time. I had so much gas and indigestion I was under the impression I was dying and being tortured with stomach pains I have never felt before, as though someone was stabbing me in my stomach. I would take whatever I could that had to do with Gas such as Gas-X and Pepto Bismol to find out I just need the right Probiotics. I am not big into yogurt so taking Pearls and drinking only Blue Diamond Almond Milk and occasionally Soy Milk has saved my life. So the moral of this is that I have no to low tolerance of milk coming from a animal but I still can enjoy cheese and butter.









This entry is just a lesson in Chakras five, four and three which one has to really pay close attention to. Everything started for me in my Chakra five which is the solar plexus that is very important, which involves the stomach and digestive system. The pain that I was going through made me feel as though I was bleeding internally or something, and I had to go to the worst scenario possible such as me having a ulcer. Really it would have not been that surprising if I did have a stomach ulcer because all the symptoms seemed to be there. I survived and turns out that lactose intolerance was and is the reality for me.



I know my body pretty well that once or twice a year I am promised a cold that sends me into cough attacks and sneezing of course with all the common symptoms. The start of this cold threw me for a surprise because it started off with my throat swelling as though I could not breathe and a real threat to me waking up the next day or not. The coughs were pretty strong and had me ready for the worst diagnosis from the doctor of Acute Bronchitis or something. With everything that hurts or does not last forever, time will heal all. So for the past three months I may have been unbalanced in my will power, love-compassion drive and spiritual drive. To sum this all up it seems my body has been counting down from the elements of Fire, Air and Ether (Heaven or Space) and I am working on receiving the message.






Now to the present I find myself in shock or just being extra dramatic because of how my physical is dealing with this chest cold I have. This all has to to with my Thymus and Thyroid gland which correlate with the fourth and fifth chakras.
