Which holidays? Earth Day? Because honestly that's the only date on my calendar that is recent enough that someone may still be holding onto some waste from.

OK, between this and the santa hat wearing food, I'm cracking up.
Especially the Santa food. This is all I can imagine:

What bad food and where does it go (inside your body)?0 -
So from all the kind words I'll take the detox is a no go? Lol. It was a question.. Wasn't going to use my dying breath buying a tea-tox. Earth day joke was funny though.. Like that!0

I've been thinking of the things that make me feel clean and refreshed, and they all have to do with water. Drink two cups of water. Run for twenty minutes and work up a sweat. Drink two more cups of cold water. Have a hot shower.
That would sum up a pretty good clean feeling.0 -
I drink Clipper Organic Detox tea. Not because it claims to detox me but because it tastes nice. 20 bags for £1.40. Bargain. No con. No claims. Just a tasty tea ha ha x0

Great advice. When I am hydrated, sweat a lot, shower, and rehydrate, I always feel so "clean." I realize it's just mental, but it's so powerful.

I hear your interested in teatox.
I have some 5inch floppy disks you might be interested in buying. They are future proof. We will always use floppy disks.

I've tried the Bootea diet with no meat for two weeks and it worked really well for me! Lost 6lbs over the two weeks, waiting two weeks before I use it again, this time with meat haha! Definitely recommend!0

The laxative effect was not extreme for me, I carried on with working etc. I just think that for people who are beginning losing weight it's a great motivational booster, I'm continuing with healthy eating after the Bootea diet x0 -

You obviously didn't eat in a healthy manner when doing the foolish laxative regimen. It is a waste of money and a foolish course of action. Defending it using logic is impossible.
If laxatives motivate you, that is sad.0 -

If you're just adding some normal herbal teas (like chamomile tea, for instance) into your already healthy diet, then that's fine. But if you're drinking those weird special weight loss laxative teas and ESPECIALLY if you're having ONLY those weird weight loss laxative teas and you're not eating any actual food....then that's probably really bad.

Tell him you're inviting another woman over and he'll be there in a heartbeat.0 -
Naw, he should have to tell me another dude will be there, in order to entice me.0

Mainly science.
This. Because if you have kidneys and a liver your body detoxes itself.0 -
The only ones that actually do anything will have "snake oil" in the top 5 ingredients.0
