New Year's detox

Tomorrow, I am back to work after a long period off.  I am loathe to tell you that I have been very bad with my diet.  As I write I am nibbling on the last of the Christmas chocolate :-(

As is my habbit I am starting a new year diet/detox.
This year I am starting the Clean 9 detox 
It's a big kit made up of aloe vera gel, supplements and protein powder.

The Garcinia on the right is a natural appetite suppressant.

Vanilla shake.

All ready for work tomorrow!

I shall report back on my progress in 9 days (or before)
Wish me luck!

Forever Bright Sparkling Aloe Vera toothpaste

My sister Faith has been a proponent of aloe vera for sometime now.  So much so that she has started a business selling aloe vera products.

My first order from her was a toothpaste and a deodorant.  The deodorant appealed to me because it has no alcohol or aluminium salts in.  And while I like the deodorant, it is the toothpaste that has really impressed me!

I've had the toothpaste for weeks and weeks now - it seems to be lasting for ages.
Fluoride free which is great.  I really don't like the way the Irish Government add fluoride to our water, personally I prefer to make my own personal choice about things like that.

It is quite a unique colour for a toothpaste.  I was worried it would taste weird but it has a nice minty flavour to it.

So!  What's good about it?
My teeth feel cleaner than ever before - I think they look whiter (and brighter) and they actually feel much smoother.  Also my mouth feels really fresh after brushing and the fresh feeling lasts much longer than my usual toothpaste.  And all of this from a natural product with no bleaching agents.

I am really happy with this toothpaste and although it is more expensive than your usual toothpaste with my teeth looking and feeling so good I think it is worth it.

The next step for me is to try Aloe Vera proper - and drink it like a juice every day.
