*~Drink your way to waistlength hair~* I am!

[PinkyD]

Sup ladies! Im checking back in. Im still doing the shake. I actually forgot to add my WGO and lecethin today, I thought hmmm what did I forget in this?

I am doing the moe gro challenge as well as this, and I don't know if it's the combined effort of both, but I had a nice bump of "new growth" (I had a press for 3 weeks, the new curly hair came quick!- I wish I had measured it, but now i've washed and I have 2 french braids).

I haven't noticed much of a change in my skin with this shake. I had an almost instant glow from doing daily Vermont cocktails, so I added those back into my reggi. So far: 1 waistlength shake in the morning, and 1 vermont cocktail mixed with tea in the evening. I have sooo much more energy! I also feel I sleep better, has anyone else noticed that?

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Yep, PinkyD, we definitely noticed the increased energy. I noticed better mental focus as well.

Your skin must be gorgeous already. The cocktail instantly transforms the skin. How are your nails? I bet their awesome, too.

I'm jelly of you, Girlie.

Hey PinkyD, lowdown on what's in these Vermont cocktails s'il vous plait!

 

[NJoy]

Hiya, NJoy,
Not back to cocktailin'. *sigh*
I'm gonna have to double up on my eggs when I do.
I'm business traveling this week - so I'll start fresh on Monday, hopefully.
Stay consistent enough for me, pleeeeeeeze!!

And thank you, I'm feeling sooo much better!
NJoy, Did I ever mention how pretty your hair is? Well, it is.

Hey mama, I'm not turning down any compliments. THANKS! Just trying to get to where some of you wonderful ladies are. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

 

[pink219]

It's weird...I actually "crave" the egg cocktail now! Yesterday, after I had one glass, I wanted another. Is this normal I wonder?

 

[PinkyD]

Vermont Cocktail: It worked wonders for my skin, it glooooows (like Leroy . The recipe varies, but ACV is an ancient remedy for many things, also molasses is high in calcium, potassium,...just check the links, it's sooo much
1 TBS ACV
1 TBS Honey
1 TBS Molasses

3. I originally learned about it here. I can't find the original link from the site, but this is good.

 

[PinkyD]

That's right Bronze! They see me out here with this great skin! Even with a stressful schedule last semester, people were complimenting my glowing skin. It was almost immediate.

Thank you for the compliment, you ar ethe best

Yeah..uh...I'm going to have to pass on this one. It sounds worse than drinking a raw egg. erplexed But, you glow, girl!


ETA:

Good morning, chickies. Had my shake this morning and added aloe juice to the mix to help improve my digestive system so that I can better absorb the nutrients in the shake and my supplements. Somebody's trying to get healthy up in here. :-D

Have a GREAT day, folks!

 

[Pooks]

Hey ladies, I'm cocktailing at my desk in the mornings using a fork and store-bought smoothies of late, can't get outta bed in time... I bring a little container with my dry ingreds and egg, only thing I've been missing out is the WG oil, I'm gonna bring it into work tomorrow cause my skin feels dry and I'm not feelin that.

 

[shortycocoa]

welcome new egglettes!

getting my cocktail on still....i'm also experimenting with yogurt this week. yummy! So far I've added Yoplait pineapple and pina colada flavored yogurt to my cocktail.

I used the pineapple last night and the pina colada this morning.

 

[hair4romheaven]

On day two of my drink Soy milk, whey protein, wheat germ oil, raw wheat germ, omega 369 I will add aloe vera next time

 

[PinkyD]

NJoy it doesn't taste bad really, plus I mix it with my tea (green tea, mint tea, what have you). It actually tastes better that the waistlength cocktails IMO. I'm telling you, that Wheat Germ is just strooong! I wanted to mention that adding apples as a sweetner/flavoring is a great thing. Also, I still can't drink the shake without a straw...

Pookiwah if you are interested, try these inxepensive (under $20) personal blenders, one cup, and they are quiet enough (relativley) for the office (so no more fork )
Back to Basics and Hamilton beach.

 

[BlkOnyx488]

I sub Real Maple syrup with the honey, OMG this was really GOOD
I also added 1/4 tsp of Chorella Powder.

I was really scared before I took teh first sip, I was like should I add lemon some sugar something. So I closed my eyes and took a sip. and wow it was really good.
Thanks!

give me the link to the Vermont cocktail and tell me what it does again. I might have to give it a try if you say it's not that bad. I've been drinking some delicious African tea lately. Maybe I can mix it there.

And yeah, that wheat germ is strong but, I'm used to it now. In fact, I'm good with teh shake and chug it easily. I no longer add tons of fruit because it makes too much drink. And I stopped adding honey. My basic mix is 2 frozen strawberries, vanilla soymilk, wheat germ, wheat germ oil, aloe juice, a little strawberry/banana yogurt and 1-2 eggs. Very drinkable and oh so good for you. DRINK woman! Stop sipping. (wo)Man up!

That said, I'm officially checking in for the day. I hope everyone has a great weekend! And drink up!

 

[PinkyD]

Br*nze. I simply do equal parts (1 TBS) Organic ACV, Local Organic Unfiltered Honey, and Blackstrap Molasses mixed with hot water in my tea (8oz or more of water).You can drink it cold I guess, but I prefer hot. I Use Braag Vinegar, local honey from WHole Foods, and Girl I even use plantation brand molasses..PLANTATION!. I'm Jamaican, i've seen the remnants of the sugar cane plantations, but couldn't they call it Thick and Rich brand Molasses

This thread from LHCF is more about hair growth, but the skin clearing benefits are what I notice, I mean instantly!

Hey Egglettes! Welcome to all the Chicadees!!
I've been out on business travel and just been able to check-in.
Great job with posting. I'll be back to update.

PinkyD, Thanks for the vermont cocktail recipe. I actually drink this (i didn't know the name, lol)- i'm big on Bragg's ACV - in all it's mixes...i even used it on my body to get rid of cellulite, but that's another thread.

Keep cocktailin' and growin that thick, long and strong hair!
I'm gonna have to setup at work, bcs, i'm missing some valuable growth opportunities, here. LOL.

Happy Sunday to you Pookiwah and everyone else, too.

hi ladies!

i'd so like to join this...but 452 pages? don't think i'm gonna read each and every one of those.....
but i do believe in drinking healthy things for waistlength hair and YES i will drink a raw egg....(ewww!)
i just started doing that last week when i read the first page.
but what i've been doing devoutly is drinking fresh fruit and veggie juice from my juicer.
i started in nov.'09 and see that my hair is already growing faster.
in the last month or so i've started adding 1 tbsp of:
ACV
PAPAYA EXTRACT
HORSETAIL EXTRACT (very high in silica which they say is essential to hair health&growth)
ALOE VERA
and now you all have got me adding a raw egg too! lol!

btw, does anybody know about how many raw eggs we can have a week without raising our cholesterol levels too high?

HHG ladies!!!

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Hey Grow and welcome to our Nest!!!

I think an egg per day is well within safe limits. If you search this, post your findings, please. I'm sure we addressed this 4,000 posts ago, lol! I just don't remember. But i'm sure you'll be safe cocktailin' with us.

Thanks for joining.

Thank you for your warm welcome, Br*nzeb*mbsh-ll!

an egg a day?
actually i was hoping you'd say, " you only have to do it once a week", lol!
but, yes, ok, it think i can do that.
an egg a day won't be so bad once i get the swing of it,.....

thanks again!

HHG!

I tried this using soy milk, whey protein, (1) cage free egg, wheat germ, strawberry/banana yogurt, 1/2 banana, and a little peanut butter. WHY ON EARTH??? YOU ASK, DID I ADD SO MUCH STUFF?? LOL!! Because I was terrified of the egg and wanted to mask it as best I could!! Result = icky!! I don't know if it was the huge-mungus combo or the actual egg but I promise it tasted like peanut-butter milk and eggs!! Furthermore, it DID NOT AGREE with me in the least!! I tried two days and both were a no-go.

Are you ladies doing EITHER the whey protein OR the egg? Maybe protein overload was an issue? Anywho, any suggestions based on the ingredients I have?? I'd like to do this but it HAS TO taste good!! Lol!!

Thanks

Girl, you lost me with the peanut butter. I mean, I like peanut butter but what the?! I think I posted my basic drink just a few posts up but, it's very similar to yours and tastes pretty good. I use a couple frozen strawberries, strawberry/banana yogurt, vanilla soy milk, wheat germ, wheat germ oil, aloe juice and 1-2 eggs. If I use 2 eggs, I usually add a 1/2 banana or another frozen strawberry. I've been experimenting with recipes and this is my staple. There are other goodies but, for crying outloud! PLEASE back a-WAY from the peanut butter. A peanut butter drink sounds worse than the egg. Maybe there is a such thing but, uh...

Play around with other recipes til you get it right for you and don't give up just yet. Here's to you taking it to "Another Level". Go girl!

i hear ya! if it doesn't taste good that makes it alot harder to do!

what i've been trying, since i was already juicing fruits and veggies, is putting a raw egg in my tangerine (they are seedless, so very easy to juice), kiwi, apple and pear mix.

when i do that, i have a hard time even tasting a raw egg in there....the egg just makes it thicker and more whipped.....

speaking of which......i'm off to get my juicing done for the day!

 

[grow]

ok ladies, i just did my fruit juice mix with the raw egg (ewww) and added a tbsp of:
acv
papaya extract
horsetail extract
aloe vera extract
it was tough to drink i drank fast.
the subsequent glasses were easier because they were just pure fresh fruits and yummy!

today i promised i would do both a fruit and a veggie juicing.....am procrastinating....gotta go clean the veggies, then chop them up for the juicer.....

@ your reaction to the peanut butter!!! I use to be a manager at the protien shake bar/ retail store at a Bally Total Fitness. We made this protien shake... I can't remember the name but it had peanut butter and banana in it. I know it sounds crazy but it was sooo good!! It was one of my best sellers. That's the reason I tried it... so please don't think I am ALL-THE-WAY CRAZY, .

Thank you for your ideas. I think I will try your recipe.... Cute play on my screen name . Thanks agian!
