  • I see a great deal of hilarious exaggeration in this thread. I've done my own brazilians before with no problem (when traveling), however, I've also been getting them professional done for 10 years. Let your first time be at a salon. You want a professional to do it. The first time is the most painful, but after that your…

  • I had an intensely horrible reaction towards the end of my grad program. My doctor said it was stress. So with grad school full time + working 40 hours a week + forcing myself to workout every single day regardless of my schedule/attitude/need for sleep probably intensified my stress. Write out a schedule & allow chill…

  • Raw food week (or weeks) is a great detox. No processed foods (breads/rices) and nothing cooked (some people do 75% raw instead of totally... so they'll have one cooked item per meal). But fruits + veggies + green tea + water = higher fiber = body cleaning I do them at least once a year. They're awesome.

  • Are you trying to stay away from faux meats? If not: Light Life Smart ground is an awesome ground beef substitute If so - I'd say greek foods - with kalamata olives and any foods with eggplant &/or portabello mushrooms. They're always filling and satisfying =]

  • Make a tour. Croatia through Greece/Turkey to Africa. I'm sure there's a company for bus tours/backpackers through Europe. Once you get to Turkey you can maybe find a cheap flight. I'd say research the regional airports there and make it an adventure. Historically, to me, Egypt/Africa have far more to offer. Going to…

  • I also worked out & ate before grocery shopping. I bought snacks, but stuck to crasins & carrots b/c I'd feel so motivated and fulfilled while at the store. I was still in workout/healthy mindset so I didn't even think to look in the junk aisle.

  • I just finished my Master's Program & am going to Law School in the Fall. I DEFINITELY FEEL YOUR PAIN. During my master's program I was working full time - didn't help. I HAD to create a scheduled structure. I ate (& still eat) 5 times daily. I pre-pack/carry around my snacks & always have my meals planned I ran early in…
