Best Cleanses to Try Before Summer Ends

Me with the Nekter 3 Day Cleanse!

Summer may be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to get into shape or at least clean your bod of all the day drinking you’ve actively pursued this summer.

Hence, it’s cleanse time.

Let’s talk about two cleanses that will be a kick-start to losing those extra lbs or just getting your body back to a healthy state.

Nekter’s 3 Day Classic Cleanse

This is my fave! The Nekter 3 Day Classic Clense is quoted online as…

“The perfect cleanse to reset your system, assist in breaking you of those sugar cravings and jump starting a new healthier regime with the side benefit of dropping a few pounds.”

But don’t worry, this is NOT a fast! It’s a way to give your body the nutrients it needs. There are six 16.9 oz drinks that consist of different blends of fruits and vegetables. Plus they are delicious! Well, there’s one that kinda sucks, but you’ll get over that because the other ones are so bomb diggity.

Now, let’s talk Chef V…

Our goofy editor trying out Chef V!

Chef V consists of three products, Chef V’s 7 Greens, Ultra Shake and the Detox soup. And they’re all pretty bomb. Plus there’s always the fact you have to drink a sh!t ton of water on this cleanse so you shouldn’t be hungry.

The 7 Greens is the ultimate energy booster (4x 16.0z per day). So now you can look super trendy with your green drink in hand.

The Ultra Shake is the nutritional rejuvenator that helps you stay satisfied throughout the day (2x 16oz per day). Kinda like your average protein shake. Lastly, the Detox Soup is the organic cleanser that detoxifies the body (1x 16oz per day). Soup will get old towards the end, but half the time you don’t even feel like you’re hungry enough to eat it!

So try one of these cleanses and see which one works best for you! Match it with a good workout regimen and it’d be hard not to see some results! Good luck & tweet us @coachsdaughters and let us know what you think!

Drink of the Week! Thyme Greyhound

Photo: Anthro Blog

Aye, aye! It’s Thirsty Thursday & how convenient it’s FIVE o’clock here! This Thursday we were feeling ultra festive for our drink of the week so prepare yourselves because this one is not for the faint of heart! Thanks to Anthro Blog we got this new recipe and drink to try!

Say hello to the THYME GREYHOUND!

INGREDIENTS:

For the thyme simple syrup (yes, you have to make it yourself, calm your titties):
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
4-5 thyme sprigs

For the cocktail:
½ part thyme simple syrup
1 part vodka
2 parts grapefruit juice
Sprigs of fresh thyme, for garnish
Cherry, for garnish

Now before you panic that you have to make your own simple syrup, there’s a reason it’s called SIMPLE.

So here’s what you have to do… Start by making the syrup by combining sugar, water and thyme sprigs in a small saucepan. Let these suckers simmer for a bit on say, medium-low heat. Don’t forget to keep stirring until all the suga’ suga’ is dissolved. Once it’s done, let it chill for a sec and take out the thyme sprigs. FINALLY in a glass filled with ice, stir all that sh*t together and make your drink. Then obviously, garnish that bad boy with a sprig of fresh thyme and a cherry.

Voilà! You’re done! Now drink.

Best Dogs for Your Lifestyle

Back in my college days, (it really wasn’t that long ago so don’t act like I’m super old), the frat stars would love to get themselves a pet. And, most of the time it happened to be a dog.

One would wonder why a guy would decide to buy a dog while living in a fraternity house or a house full of guys that should be deemed as a frat house or brothel. Well, the answer became quite obvious to us sorority girls. It’s really genius when you think about it.

What girl doesn’t like puppies? These guys were just trying to reel in chicks. I even asked my guy friends if that was the truth of it all, and they told me I had “nailed the hammer on the head.” And hey, we’re not complaining!

“Man’s best friend” as the common world calls it. I must say that my sister and I have superhuman dog whispering capabilities, but that’s another story.

Now, if you think you’re ready for a dog… Take a peek at my short list of breeds to see which will suit you well:

Labrador Retriever

Labrador Retrievers, otherwise known as “labs”, are super outgoing, friendly and active dogs. The lab has actually held the title of being THE most popular dog 24 years in a row. The #1 most popular dog in America? If that’s not proof of proud ownership, then I don’t know what is.

Boxer

Oh, how I love a good Boxer. Apparently so does America, being that the Boxer is ranked as the 8th most popular dog. These dogs offer such a fun-loving, playful and protective personality. Got kids? GAME-CHANGER: Boxers are known for their “desire for human affection, especially from children.” I have owned a couple Boxers myself, so I recognize the “love me, care about me, pet me, smother me” little mug of theirs. AKA, it’s quite normal if they put their head under your hand forcing you to pet them or just resorting to sitting in your lap despite the fact they are far from a lap dog. These dogs are also quite active, so you can be sure to get some good cardio in with them.

Golden Retriever

How about the Golden Retriever? I feel like every California girl recognizes the Golden Retriever, since they are one of the few to enjoy getting in the pool. This breed is known to be intelligent, friendly and devoted. Golden Retrievers are quite active and need to get regular exercise. They are the third most popular dog on the AKC list.

German Shepherd

Need a smarty pants? A dog that can herd? One of your first breeds to look at will be the German Shepherd. Not only are these dogs smart, but they are courageous and confident. They are a fun-loving and energetic breed. Another pro: these dogs love to be around children, especially after they have established a relationship with the child. Those are just a few of the reasons that these dogs are the second most popular in America.

Great Dane

The Great Dane, or as some like to call it, the gentle giant. Simply put, these dogs get BIG. So, if your in an apartment with 1,000 sq feet or less, I am going to ask that you have the decency to not put a Great Dane through that misery. However, that’s not to say these aren’t good lounge around, stay at home dogs. Because the breed is so large these lovers like to spend most of their time snoozin’.

Boston Terrier

You looking for a clever, friendly charmer? You need a Boston Terrier. These dogs sometimes even look like they are wearing a tuxedo, and were granted the nickname “American Gentleman.” Can you say charming? After owning my own Boston Terrier, I have seen how these dogs may be too smart for their own good. Boston Terriers are “happiest sharing time and activity with their owners.” 

French Bulldog

Looking for a not-so-active dog? We know, it’s too hard to leave a pro-cardio lifestyle. Sometimes we just need to LOUNGE. HALLELUJAH, please welcome the French Bulldog into your life and your humble abode. These characters add personality & light up any room. Frenchies are playful, yet smart. They just need the air-conditioning and are recognized as indoor dogs. And hey, no one is opposed to some air-conditioning and lounging during some hot summer days.

Now, if you aren’t satisfied with the information I gave you, or think I am biased, why don’t you go take the Pedigree survey for yourself betches!
