Embarking on a wellness journey often requires stepping out of one's comfort zone: Cold Plunging, HIIT training, HOTWORX, etc. As someone who loves a good bio hack, I decided to undertake a another 3-day juice cleanse with Squeezed. Delivered in a cooler tote bag with ice packs, the 18 bottles were neatly organized and labeled for each day. Here's a candid account of my 72 hours! And if you are ready for a cleanse - you HAVE TO TRY SQUEEZED!

Day 1: Back in Familiar Waters

Morning: Starting with Juice #1, a vibrant blend of beet, apple, pineapple, carrot, orange, ginger, and lemon. I usually dont “eat” till 11am, but I had to juice by 9am. I was getting hungry. I had Juice #2 for snack- it was good and spicy. Spice is suposed to help speed the metabolic process.
Midday: Hunger set it! I had to have banana and my ENERGY Juice- My Favorite! It is cashew milk and cinnamon and Juice #3, combining coconut, pineapple, spinach, and apple, provided a tropical twist that kept me energized too!
Evening: At home its harder when you are “Snack Bitch” to your toddler; then the dinner witching hour! I was quickly outta juice and needed something more. I snuck some raw cashews- chewed them well, but according to ChatGBT I didn’t “break the cleanse”.

Day 2: Navigating Challenges

Morning: Woke up feeling more alert and less hungry!
Midday: Faced some hunger pains, but staying hydrated and focusing on the cleanse's purpose helped. More water today! I even got an energy boost at 3pm when I usually get a crash!
Evening: Noticed improved digestion and a clearer mind. Making dinner was TOUGH! I made chicken nachos (my favorite) and almost popped a chip that dropped into my mouth from muscle memory, but stopped! This cleanse is a mental challenge too!

Day 3: Reflecting on the Journey

Morning: Felt a sense of accomplishment and clarity. Today is my last day!
Midday: Energy levels remained consistent, and the juices continued to satisfy. I enjoyed my last cashew milk, sipping every last drop. Its so good! I might order for fun!
Evening:Final stretch! I celebrated dinner with a salad! I needed to chew something and thought a good first meal would be a salad! Nothing fancy- mixed bag from the grocery store. Just like Elaine I love a BIG SALAD!

Completing the 3-day Squeezed juice cleanse was both challenging and rewarding. I was experiencing tummy troubles from big work events and travel and needed this reset! If you need this reset too I encourage you to try SQUEEZED!

Take care of yourself so you can take care of others.

DA BEARS came to town, so you all know what that means! I went all out celebrating my love for DA BEARS with a double-header: a Saturday kickoff party at my house, followed by Sunday’s tailgating and game day showdown between the Cardinals and Bears at "Soldier Field West" in Glendale, AZ. From themed treats and games to tailgating VIP-style, here’s a recap of our unforgettable football-filled weekend with my favorites!

It all started with a Saturday football kickoff party at my place. The decor was on point—think football-themed sugar cookies shaped like mini stadiums, a meat and cheese platter arranged to look like a football, and a custom photo backdrop with a balloon huddle. Atlas and I even made a DIY football garland to add some family flair!

We had activities for everyone: custom coloring pages and a football-themed “Guess Who” game featuring players from both teams. Nothing says game day fun like seeing friends and family get hyped to “guess” their favorite Cardinals and Bears players! My favorite part? A few intense rounds of bags with the fam and eating way too many nachos, QUE BUENO! Atlas stole the show, though—he was such a little host, making sure everyone was having a good time.

On Sunday, we headed to State Farm Stadium, also known (to us Bears fans) as “Soldier Field West.” We scored a prime tailgating spot near the bathrooms and had some TVs close to catch the morning games. We ventured over to Westgate to join some Bears pregame parties, snapping photos and taking in the atmosphere. The best part? Getting a VIP golf cart ride back to our tailgate spot from Westgate, waving and hyping up fans along the way. That’s what I was born to do!

Walking into the stadium, I proudly held my “Soldier Field West” sign high, and the sea of Bears fans cheered in solidarity. It was about 85% Bears fans, so the energy was there—even if the team’s performance wasn’t! While I loved seeing, MY QUARTERBACK, Caleb Williams on the field, I didnt think the coaching staff showed up; Matt Eberflus lacked that head coach presence. By the start of the fourth quarter, Bears fans started to leave, sensing there was no comeback in sight. BUT We stayed until the end, true die-hards, capturing every moment on camera, including a fight in the parking lot (don’t worry, we were just spectators!). The whole weekend is packed with great memories and some wild moments—make sure to check out the vlog for all the highlights and a few misses.

Bear Down Chicago Bears, we got half a season to go and Atlas just learned the fight song!
