LET'S TONE UP AND NOT STARVE IN THE PROCESS

I wanted to share with you a days worth of my meals. Obviously I'm not a fitness expert or a vegan BUT I have found this meal plan to help me. This "diet" will be great for you if you are always rushing around and don't want to spend hours in the kitchen. 

At first this felt like I was constantly eating so maybe I would get a pot belly... but it has actually has kicked my metabolism up and has helped me to get more toned. I'd love for you to try it and tell me what you think.

The Sarita Diet*

 8:00 AM / Right when you wake up drink this:

 Shot glass full of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar

(chase with water)

*Make sure it's raw and unfiltered, otherwise it won't work!

8:05AM BREAKFAST:

The Oatmeal Recipe:

1/2 cup oatmeal

3/4 cup water

(Microwave for 2 Min)

Then add:

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed 

1 sliced banana

Drizzle of agave nectar or honey

11:00 AM SNACK:   

Think Thin Bar (Sprouts, Whole Foods) I usually grab one and stick it in my bag so when I'm not home I can snack on something. It has 10 grams of protein and low sugar. I literally sat down in the aisle at the grocery store comparing nutritional facts and this one is by far the best protein bar for you that doesn't taste like weird chemicals.

 

1:00PM LUNCH:

Chicken Breast (Grab a large Ziplock bag and put several pieces of chicken inside, so that way it will last you a couple days worth. Pour olive oil;about 1 teaspoon per piece of chicken. Add lemon pepper, rosemary, garlic; if you have it and a few squeezes of lemon. Now, let it sit in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Then, heat up a pan on Medium heat and cook for about 5 min on each side) 

Spinach Salad with 2 Hard Boiled Eggs

TON

If you want dessert Sliced Apple with Cinnamon

4:00 PM SNACK:

Greek Yogurt with Granola and Blackberries

7PM DINNER: 

Half of a Sliced avocado with Baby Greens 

Side of  steamed Asparagus (dash of sea salt, pepper, and olive oil)

and a piece of dark chocolate for my sweet tooth

Review: Laura Mercier Body Bronzing Makeup

Laura Mercier Body Bronzing Makeup

Price: $38

Size: 5 oz

When I'm pale I slap this stuff on and it transforms my skin tone. It has a golden tint..not orange..not brown. There's a very fine shimmer and a coverage similar to a tinted moisturizer so it helps cover flaws. I fell in love with this stuff recently at a shoot because it makes my skin bronzed and glowy. The smell is just as amazing- it smells like coconut and pineapple. I love that this lotion is so versatile. It's great for going out on the town when you are wearing a sexy dress and also great if you just want some light color during the day.

You can layer it if you want even more coverage or glow. It easily washes off, although you definitly want to be careful when wearing white or anything light. But that is a must with any type of product with bronzer in it. I tried it on my face hoping to look like J LO and I looked more like Abraham Lincoln on a penny... best for body only.. in my opinion. Enjoy!!

Review: Victoria's Secret Bronze Glow Body Tint

VS Bronze Glow Body Tint
Price: $16
Size: 4.8 oz

This is definitely lightweight and easily blends into your skin. It gives you more of a glowy, luminous look rather than a shimmery coppery finish.  Since this lotion isn't super pigmented I wouldn't suggest using when you are pale, instead it's PERFECT when you have a base tan and want to have a radiant glow. For $16 though it's worth having and it smells yummy too.

Review: Anne Marie Borlind Rode Dew Night Cream Review

Anne Marie Borlind Rose Dew Night Cream

Price: $40

Size: 1.69 oz

I'm excited to tell you that I found an "affordable" moisturizer that's worth sharing with you.  Affordable meaning $40 for a 1.69 oz jar. I did some research on the ingredients and this heavenly scented rose moisturizer is paraben free which is a major plus. Also it contains Squalane which is a huge component of our skin's own natural oil. It hydrates, smooths and softens, locks in moisture and has immune-stimulating and antioxidant capabilities. The best thing is, your body basically can't tell the difference between this stuff and it's own oil- so even sensitive and irritated skin soaks it up without a blink.

I wanted to use this product for a few weeks to see if there were any breakouts or weird skin issues and I can't complain of a single pimple. My skin is really dry so I would highly recommend this if you have a similar skin type and are looking for a protective, natural moisture.
