Welcome!

This little blog started on our wedding website, which kept family and friends up to date on the planning and details. Of course this is where we will provide all of the recaps of the wedding and everything after. We look forward to keeping family and friends up to date on our lives here in Texas and all of the adventures we share as newlyweds!

Benefits of the Green Juice From Yesterday

I almost forgot to break down the benefits of yesterday's green juice mix!

Pretty much anything leafy and green = good for you so you can't really go wrong with any of the ingredents.

Aside from the applies which I mentioned in the red juice here's what was packed into yesterday's drink of choice!

Kale:
  • Packed with Lutein which is said to be good for your skin, eyes, 
  • May even help prevent damage caused by UV rays along with being packed with nutrients.
  • Lots of Vitamin K, A and C
Spinach:
  • Vitamin K and A
  • Manganese = bone health which is always important especially for women
  • Folate, Iron and Calcium in large quantities -- much more easily absorbed into your system this way than in a multivitamin
Cucumbers:
  • Improves the look and feel of your skin
  • Due to silicone and sulfur content it helps with hair growth - and who doesn't want nice long hair?
  • High water level to help keep you hydrated

Celery:
  • Another item which is packed with Vitamin C, A, and Calcium
