Juicy News - Day 48

Posted on Mar 19, 2008 under Juice Feasting |

The fridge is once again stocked with lots of produce, amongst other things a 5 kg (11 pound) bag of carrots.   I see lots of carrot juice in my future!  All the juice feasters rave about watermelon juice, so I bought some watermelon, which I’ll try out tomorrow.  My love affair with citrus is still going strong.

I had another terrific colonic this morning!  Then I went to my beauty therapist for a leg, underarm and brow wax.  Now I’m super-smooth!

In my retracing journey, I am now 16 years in the past.  No wonder my liver is feeling somewhat tender…  In 1992 I was in my first hotel job, staying on the premises in staff quarters and partying wildly when off duty.   I was casually involved for quite a while with the most beautiful, sexy, yet sadly self-destructive and ultimately doomed, man.  I saw him about 5 years later, after both of us had got fat and married.  He looked terrible!  Booze and drugs had left their mark on his once gorgeous face and body.  Shortly after that I heard that he’d died of a suspected overdose/heart attack/suicide (take your pick).  He was a bastard, but there was something about him I’ll never forget… in fact, he reminds me of Tomas, the lead character of The Unbearable Lightness Of Being.

I’m very happily married, and Jerome was not the “love of my life” or “the one that got away”, but he had a big impact on my life and I think I’m letting go, not only of him, but of the Hanlie I was back then.  Goodbye Jay, I hope you found your peace.  I have.

Furthermore I’m making great headway with my website (at the expense of some time spent reading blogs - I promise I read everything, but I don’t comment as often!).  I’m not going to even hazard a guess as to the launch date of the website, because the content is taking a long time to formulate and load.  I really want it to be a valuable health, fertility and lifestyle resource.

About the picture:

Fairview is another well-know wine estate, near the Winelands town of Paarl.  The estate is also famous for its goats’ milk cheese.

    When I saw the pic, it brought back memories of many happy days spend on wine farms while we lived in CapeTown. Fairview is one of my favs!

    Thanx for the memory Hanlie!

    That’s such a neat picture - so cool!

    Question on the waxing - Do you do just half of your leg or your full leg? How bad does it hurt? Do you have any reaction from it? I would love to do my legs, but I finally had my arms waxed last weekend. It hurt like a mo’ fo’, but I dealt with it. The bad thing is for the first few days, I got little white heads all over my arms. :(
