For Those Who Are Grieving

Standard

TOUCHMOTIVATEINSPIRE

There are times when there are too few words left to heal us, when what we wish for is to be carried, when all we have left is the hope that tomorrow will be a more gentle place to land than today. Perhaps there are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy. To know someone meant the world to you and they are gone is to know that you will forever have someone watching your back until you met again.

Skinny Water, Sassy Water, Detox Water, whatever name you may know it by has been a trend among the healthy living community. Some people say it’s a quick fix to weight loss but what’s the truth? What’s in it? Does it work?

Sassy water, or detox water contains, Lemons, Mint, Cucumber And Ginger, however you are not limited to these ingredients. To satisfy my personal taste, I used a combination of just lemon and mint. The cucumber water taste was not appealing at all and I wasn’t crazy about using ginger.

Did it work? We all know that water is naturally a weight loss agent. Drinking water flushes toxins out of the body and helps to alleviate bloating.Y es, the Sassy water did work for me but here are some things to take note of. Paired with lemon I noticed a decrease in bloating. In addition to drinking the Sassy Water, I workout between 5-7 days a week. Also, Sassy water should not be used when working out. I suggest you use your standard plain water.
