Spring reset with @raw_generation_juices šŸŠšŸ„•šŸ

Now is the perfect time for a juice cleanse to feel lighter and have more energy! I’m currently on day 2 of my 5 day juice cleanse with Raw Generation. I love that this cleanse includes cold pressed juices and plant-based smoothies. I’m a busy homeschool mom of two so having the protein smoothies really gives me that boost of energy that I need. Initially, I thought I would get hungry through out the day, but I haven’t! I drink 3 cold-pressed juices and 3 plant-based smoothies per day. So far I’ve lost a couple pounds but most importantly, my body feels refreshed! 

Summer is right around the corner so check out Raw Generation! There are a couple options to choose from the Skinny Clean, Low Sugar* Detox, and the Protein Cleanse. I’ve linked on my @shop.ltk

The weather has been beautiful so that means more family adventures visiting new parks, tennis courts, and nature trails! The Ninja FrostVault Cooler has been a game changer for our outdoor trips! My kids are always asking for snacks and drinks during family outings. The top of the cooler stores cold beverages on ice and there’s a separate bottom compartment perfect for snacks, fruits, and sandwiches. I also love that this cooler has wheels making it so easy to move around!Ā

We extended our spring break with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge! At the last minute we decided to surprise the kids with a quick trip to their favorite indoor/outdoor water park. Seeing the kids smiles and laughs is my favorite. A highlight of our trip is being able to all get on the big water slide together. God blessed me with the sweetest kids and the best husband. I cherish these family trips so much.

Let’s refresh my daughter’s nail collection! @ellamila has a variety of non-toxic nail polish and nail care products. I love the pretty spring pastel colors and the polish is fast drying!  I’ve been teaching my daughter the importance of taking care of her natural nails. So the Ella + Milla nail care products have been great with adding to a weekly nail care routine. Colors used: Dream and Wings of Dawn with the gel top coat. I finished the manicure with the Lavender cutical oil!

I also love that every couple months there is a new featured exhibit. Currently NEW LEGO exhibit: Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO bricks! So if your kids love LEGOs definitely stop by! @sciencemuseumofvirginia
