Hi LOVEs!! Today, I’d like to share with you the new challenge that I started two weeks ago!! I don’t know if many of you know that I am thirty-years-old, and I am turning 31 this year. Yes!!! I can see your shocking face staring back at this screen! Haha, I believe I am so fortunate to not look 30--Thanks, Mom! But the reality that I am currently struggling with is... fat very hard to burn lately. I don’t know whether or not it is due to my age or it is because I haven’t worked out in such a long time, but the fat won’t melt away.
You’re probably screaming at me, “Aika, you are not fat at all!” Thank you for that <3. I agree with you that I am not overweight or have any excuse to complain. However, like all of us, I have some areas of flab that I want to burn that I’m not super stoked to have.
So...I finally (yes finally!!) decided to start to do more exercise! In fact, it’s very challenging for me to have a routine as I have been super duper busy these days. Furthermore, I only can do it at home because I don’t have a car. No car equals no trips to a gym as the ride back and forth from home to the gym wastes too much of my time. Time is money LOVES. So, I googled “exercising at home,” I found a lot of easy workouts that seem like I could execute and follow.
A game-changer Teatox
Then, with perfect timing, SkinnyMint reached out to me to see if I would be interested in trying out their Teatox. I am kinda familiar with teatox since I’ve tried it once before. Unfortunately, I stopped right after I started because I didn’t like the taste. For those who don’t know what teatox is, it’s one of the easiest ways to detox by drinking tea and kickstart a healthy lifestyle. Being healthy from inside out is so important and teatox is one of the best options. I really like that SkinnyMint offers the tea program which consists of 2 easy steps: the Morning Boost tea and the Night Cleanse Tea, and I am always a lover of fruity flavor, so I was very excited to see how SkinnyMint tea (The morning one) would taste.
How my lifestyle has changed beginning two weeks ago.
- Wake up 30 mins early and do a light morning stretch and/or work out.
- Drink the Morning Boost tea during the morning exercise.
- Eat a healthy morning meal such as half of a banana and a bowl of yogurt with apple slices, a handful of almonds, assorted nuts, or even blueberries.
- Begin and end each meal with a glass of water.
- Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator.
- Try to cut down on my favorite unhealthy food: soda, chips, pre-made meals, burgers, and sugary sweets. Of course, I am still eating them occasionally.
- Try a night exercise routine while watching Japanese dramas. ( < It’s my everyday routine
- Drink the Night Cleanse Tea while editing pictures and blogging or right before bedtime.
What's SkinnyMint Teatox?
I love coffee pictures, it’s so intriguing. But the reality is my stomach is not strong enough for coffee derived caffeinated beverages, but I still need a booster for those early morning wake-ups! The SkinnyMint Morning Boost contains more than 70% of caffeine with super ingredients - Guarana, Strawberry, Pineapple, Grapefruit, Nettle Leaves, and three other ingredients. The fruity flavor and scent make me feel so relaxed at the same time. It’s a tea after all, so this is the perfect alternative to the morning coffee.
The Night Cleanse tea is really soothing and calming - I am literally drinking the tea right now as I am writing this, and love it! I sometimes want to drink a few more cups! It’s meant to detoxify and revitalize your body, and the all-natural ingredients such as ginger roots, orange leaves, Lemongrass, Licorice and other ingredients to help clear your body of toxins, making you feel healthier and and reduces bloating giving your tummy that flat and athletic look.
When you purchase SkinnyMint packages, they come with a mini flyer with 5 tips to get the most out of your teatox and a journey calendar that advises you what to do during those 28 days - for example, 30 squats and 20 crunches. This is really helpful in transforming my life into a healthier one. I make sure to add those “extra workouts” from the calendar along with my regular workout and am able to be inspired for adjusting my lifestyle in a more healthy way.
Today marks the 10th day since starting this SkinnyMint teatox journey, and so far I am happy with how easily I can keep taking the tea every morning and night, and it boosts and encourages me to keep working out more. I have to say it’s much better than any teatox products I’ve tried before. Personally, the flavors are my most favorite aspect of these teas. I have 18 more days left until the journey ends, and I really can’t wait to see the results at the end!!!
How do you keep up a healthy lifestyle?
