Green Juice Recipe for a Healthy Happy Day
I love green juice. It is delicious and gives me energy. Have you ever seen those happy green juice people and wondered what that was about? This green juice recipe is your chance to get in on the action, and it’s very simple to make. There is, of course, the green juice debate. Is juicing good for you, or are you losing vital fiber and nutrients, by wasting and throwing away the substance of the veggies and fruits that you added into your juice.

Infused Spa Water Recipes
Drinking infused spa water helps me keep up with my recommended water intake. Part of working on my yoga practice includes staying hydrated. I’m not always the best at this. It’s not that I have anything against water, it’s just that I love coffee. And tea. Both of which are desiccants, so although they are mostly made up of water they are also working to dehydrate even more. Staying hydrated is an important part of yoga not only to replenish fluids lost during practice, but also because your muscles can stretch more when they are properly hydrated. If you don’t drink water, then yoga practice will basically be like trying…
