Module 2: Eat More Vegetables. I’m implementing this module at the Chrysalis level. At this level I will implement the following steps: 1) Eat a huge salad of greens for or before lunch/dinner 2) Incorporate vegetables into my main course every dinner 3) Eat @ least four vegetarian dinners each week 4) Eat organic, local, and seasonal whenever possible 5) Take the at-home Candida test 6) Incorporate cleansing fruit into my diet.

This is where I'm at in terms of eating my way through the recipes in The Beauty Detox Solution, I have 2 dishes left from the "Beauty Nut Dishes" category before moving onto the "Beauty Salads", which I'm really excited about, especially Dharma's Kale Salad! So yep, this is my plan of attack. To date, I'm at recipe 28/51.

"Who is glowvirna?"I claim Newak, NJ as my hometown but I’ve lived in MD, NY and currently FL. I studied drama at a school of the performing arts HS and won “Most Talented Female Performer" from my graduating class! However my acting days are long gone and I am currently in my 3rd to last semester of a graduate program in speech-language pathology. I grew up in a church that emphasized vegetarian cooking and this heavily influenced my interest for healthy food. At about age 10/11, I discovered a health book from the Body Shop which discussed Ayurvedic principles (not sure if I spelled that right!) and this spawned my interest in holistic approaches to well-being. Fast forward to where I am today: now in my late, late 20s (teehee), finally responding to a life-long calling and passion to live a healthy more fulfilling life! I fell in love with Kimberly Snyder’s understanding, respect, and appreciation of the human digestive system and cooking her recipes are truly one of the highlights of my days! Cooking and blogging are my hobbies along with reading, biking and CrossFitting! There is so much more to say and I hope to share more with you as I (we) continue on this journey. Thanks for being a part of it ♡.

Module 3: Minimize or Eliminate Animal Foods. These are the changes I strive to implement in my daily life from Kimberly Snyder’s The Glowing Lean System, Module 1-Module 3, Either a glass of water or a mug of hot water with lemon upon rising, followed by the Glowing Green Smoothie until lunch. A huge salad of greens before lunch and dinner. Buy organic greens and apples along with other produce from the “dirty dozen” list. Four vegetarian dinners per week.
