Purification - moving the mountain to Biarritz

RIGHT NOW I am meant to be 'en route' to a month long purification programme in India. ACTUALLY (for various reasons - mainly relating to moving and dogs) I will be staying at home (Biarritz - could be worse!) for the month of January.

Always a 'glass half full' kind of girl..I have decided this is 'meant to be'..and I will still use the 1st month of 2011 to focus on purification - using the opportunity to re-launch my wellbeing blog.

In general, the blog will continue to focus on health, beauty, aromatherapy, retreats and wellbeing..Naturally!

Specifically, through the whole of January, I will blog a daily diary of whether or not it is possible to detox 'in the real world'. I will trial two separate detox programmes and add in my own natural remedies.

Throughout January, I will use only completely home-made natural 'products' (I'll tell you how to make face masks, body scrubs etc) to compliment the detox process. I will also add in some recommended treatments and activities.

SO...this detox is accessible to all...WHY NOT JOIN ME?

I will begin the first programme
Tanya Alekseeva's: 'Complete 7 day Detox Programme'
the second week in January..so you have time to take a look at the link and see if you fancy joining me.

This ebook contains shopping lists, all recipies..everything you need to get ready.
It costs £15 and is available via this link. http://www.betterraw.com/2010/12/your-complete-7-day-detox-program-is_19.html

I must add that I have never met Tanya and know her by reputation only!
I have purchased the programme as an ordinary un-biased consumer.

This particular programme is based on raw food. There is no 'fasting period'..you eat every day. This does mean that shopping and advance food prep is required!!

I will follow on from this with a second more ...ahem...comprehensive colon cleanse. Based here in France, Fiona Robertson runs colon cleansing retreats and has launched her Home Detox Box. This programme includes fasting (but with syllium and clay shakes!)..pro-biotics and yes...colon cleansing!

Check out the link below and start to think if you could progress to this with me the last week of January!

Meanwhile, please follow the blog, leave comments and get involved...most things are more fun done together...detoxing has to be one of them!
