SoCal Cleanse Review, End of Week Two!
Well I have to say I really couldn’t be feeling better physically. I am dealing with some emotional stuff that has come up, and honestly it could be making it a little worse, as that is a side effect of cleansing. But we will never really know.
As far as cheating…. Yeah, i did a little bit, but not too bad. I had a cookie (or 2 actually!) and I also drank an energy drink. Like I said, my emotions have been a little out of sorts, and it was draining me.
Part of the cleanse, is soul and mind cleansing too, and that is what I meant by the cleanse could be associated with my emotions. I don’t think that it is 100% of the reason, but more like 30%. When you cleanse, you really need to let go of anger, any negative feelings you might be holding onto. It is a time to reflect, and really look into yourself and make a better person. But that can be a little scary right? So that is what I am going to focus on the most this next week, emotional soul cleansing!
The whole cleanse should really be an all over, Mind and Body Detox, and I need to start focusing on the mind!
But that part is hard to talk about on here. I know you readers, and I would love to share it all with you, but it is the internet, and I do have to be aware of what I write and how it can affect the other people I talk about. ME? I am an open book. Ask me anything. But I can’t tell you everything about my family and friends, or even about Craig with out feeling like I am disrespecting their privacy ya know?
So, my diet! I have actually be doing really well with that. Lots of salads, lots of herbal tea, and loads of the shakes; one every day! I am almost out of my Protein Detox shake, (yes, it is that good!) and I need to remind myself to order more! The Protein Fiber Shake is actually not too bad either. I have started adding a little of what I have left of the Green Vibrance into them both. Just a little added green superfood. Being organic makes me even happier!
The schedule has been a little easier now that I am in more of a habit. I wake up, drink some warm lemon water, I make it before I go to bed. Then I eat a piece of fruit. Apply, Orange, Banana, or this most recent few days, 3 Clementines. They are so awesome! I usually wait about an hour, then fix my shake. I make it with a mixture of frozen and fresh berries, plain Kefir, and rice milk. Some days I add a little honey, others not.
Then for lunch, I have either a bowl of Oatmeal, with honey, and a little fruit, or a side of hummus and fresh veggies. I make the oatmeal with Rice Milk too.
If I need a snack, either hummus and veggies or peanut butter and fruit.
Dinner, has been salads and fish, or veggies and fish.
And always at least two cups of herbal tea. one at night and another mid-day. Now that it has cooled off a lot outside, that tea is really saving me! Usually my hunger moments are not actually hunger but boredom, or me being ancy. So sipping on tea gives me time to sit and chill!
ooohhh, the baths are so nice. I have been really concentrating on those! (call me spoiled!) But I also bought some new Essential Oils, for detox, I mentioned them in my Detox Bath and Cellulite Post, and they are so refreshing. I used to always have them all around, but when I moved here, I lost a basket of oils. Shameful! You might be amazed at how refreshing and uplifting Black Pepper EO is. Even Fennel. Now they aren’t the types that you want to sniff right from the bottle but a couple of them mixed with a sweet EO, in the bath is really nice.
I have lost 4 pounds!!! I haven’t been dieting either. If I am hungry I eat. I just don’t eat meat, dairy, bread, sugar etc. I even went through an entire jar of Maranatha Peanut Butter in about 5 days.
My mind feels like it is clearing. I wouldn’t say right now it feels clear, I just feel it reaching out for more clarity. I know that might sound a little hokey, but it is how I am feeling. I feel the same way with my body. I am starting to feel like I couldn’t go back to eating dairy at all. I can’t say just yet I won’t eat bread, but I am working on that.
The SoCal Cleanse is meant to be a start to a new lifestyle, so I am treating it that, a passage way to a new way of eating and thinking. Right now, it truly couldn’t be any better. It is almost a magical experience. I know I know. It sounds hokey, but it is true for me.
Again, please feel free to ask me any questions about the cleanse, my experience, anything!

thanks ladies! it is pretty powerful, at first, i was thinking “why am I feeling so over emotional?” but then it hit me, and just makes sense.
Lisa, you might want to read my other posts on the SoCal cleanse, there is a link right below the post that will take you there. (it lists 4 posts similar to the one above)
but for the record I am doing the full cleanse, it is called “cleanse and Renew” it is SoCal’s Original Cleanse, and their most thorough. Please feel free to ask me any other questions!
Oh, and if you purchase the kit, i believe you save a decent chuck of change. and you will love the soaps and the tea!
Thanks for sharing. That is so interesting abt possibly not going back to dairy at all. I think I’d feel better if I at least cut way back. I think the mind cleaning is the most fascinating of all! Good luck.
Good luck with this and thank you for sharing your experiance with all of us.I have been thinking about doing this myself…
Wow! You really sound like you’re making some serious life changes and that’s so wonderful. I’m curious as to exactly what products you are using from SoCal Cleanse. It looks like you are using their hemp protein shakes and their bath soaks. Is the herbal tea you are drinking from SoCal Cleanse as well? I’m a little confused as to what products I should choose if I want to have the same kind of success. Thank you and I can’t wait to read your new update.
