In Good Health - Body Detox.

Sorry I have been missing for couple days. Now I am back and I am doing greater than ever. Oh, not how much I spent in that sense...I mean, I just done my 14 days body-detox from Dr. Frank Lipman's method last Sunday. I am feeling invigorated and I am trying to live a whole new life style by eating healthier. That means no-gluten and no-wheat, less caffeine, no refined sugar, no refined flour diet. {Honestly, I am not sure how strict I can be but I am smarter now when it comes to select good-food-which-nourishs-my-body.} 


I didn't lose weight but my whole body has that slimmer look!! Here is the proof of Dr. Frank Lipman's eating suggestion works wonder on me. I highly recommend you check out his website (here), Grocery store tour video (here) and the detox helper-shakes (here).

Thanks for posting the allowed/not allowed list. Very helpful to see it. Not sure how you do it, but it seem hard not to use any soy sauce in my cooking. :P How did you cook the meat dish on the bottom right?

Looks like you are getting the entire family healthy. Great job!

Wow! You look great! There are some things from the do column that I already do, but it would be soso hard to give up cheese!!
Great job! You've set the bar on what I strive to look like when I have kids!

Rachel, thanks for posting the list, that is very helpful!

You look fantastic! Although I think you did not need detox at all, I am glad it has made you feel better!

I have been on a self-imposed detox regimen myself for a week now. I am seeing the difference in the way I feel already. So I can totally relate!

Btw, we are travelling to Madrid this week. If you guys have been there already, do you have any tips and recommendations for the city?
THanks, Betsy and Wei.
Yes, I guess if you really know the list, it is easier to pick food while you do the grocery shopping. ^O^

To our good health,
Rachel
Hi Mona, we didn't visit Madrid last year while we are in Spain. I guess we realized that it took another 4 or 5 hours drive from Barcelona which is way toooooo long. Besides, it is probably much colder than Barcelona by the time we were there in Nov. I am sure you guys will be just fine and remember to eat plenty of food there and shop all the good leather stuff you can find. THEY ARE THE TRUELY the origin of manufacturing buttery soft leather stuff. ^O^
How long do you guys stay?

Oh, last note, what kind of your detox regime is? Anything specific you have to follow?

Good day,
xo Rachel

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
