Slim Down With These Five Tips

By Jennie Murphy

Often after putting out a youtube vid, I get emails asking how I get so slim so I've put together this article so that others can lose excess weight and hopefully enjoy the journey. My natural body shape is not large. I take after my father's side of the family in this regard, however I do gain weight easily and have weighed 86kg at my heaviest. So I do know the angst that being a bigger person can bring and I know the anxiety of losing it. I know the feeling of self hatred when trying to lose the weight and it doesn't budge.

It took a long time for me to get to the point where I'm comfortable in my own skin and hopefully my experience might shorten the journey for some of you, or help you enjoy it, or to help you feel like you're not alone.

Green Smoothie For Your Skin!

We all know that green smoothies are great for our health right? We drink them down and we feel better, our skin looks better, people lose weight and can balance insulin levels, drinking them. They're amazing! But what about putting them on our skin?

Watch this video to see Sergei Boutenko demonstrate how to identify the right greens for this smoothie, how to make it and how to apply it to your face. Or the face of a loved one in this case!

You can find more great information brought to you by Sergei at his website or his youtube channel. Thanks Sergei!
