Write in RED

HEY Pink girllllllll  :)  Remember last month how I said that I think this is my favorite day on the pink style planner...well I STILL think so.  :)  You know what to do....go get your lipstick and write those words on the mirror!

Did you feel differently than last month when you wrote them on your mirror?  Maybe you believe it now more than ever or maybe you are just beginning to believe it!  Maybe tomorrow write a different positive saying on your mirror..Show us what you did.  We wanna see it on your mirrors.  :)  Here is a quote that I  thought was fitting for todays post!  Enjoy  <3 

Having choices to be Healthy

Our new e-cookbook available Oct 1.  :)
Hi My Super Pinkalicious Girls  :)  Today we get to choose an activity from the nutrition bubble!  Don't you love having choices to be healthy?  I sure do.  Today one of the options are eating a clean meal.  I know that last month we talked about what that is, right!  (remember, no bags bottles, or boxes)  Eat fruits, veggies, lean meats and drink oodles of water! Sometimes it is a challenge to know what to fix, isn't it!  We hear a lot of pink girls and Moms, and dads say that having some ideas and recipes would be awesome!  So you know what?  We decided to create a healthy, pure-eating cookbook to give everybody ideas and options on how to eat pure and clean.  Isn't that exciting!!!  (we think so!)  So look for the e-cookbook coming out around October 1st--Our next P.I.N.K. Girls bootcamp!!!  AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE see you tomorrow!! :)

Try this!

Sweet potato Fries

You need 1 sweet potato.
Slice the potato into thin strips and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil
and a dash of sea salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes
until golden brown. A healthy and yummy alternative to french fries!

A sweet potato is high in vitamin c supplying nearly half the daily requirements in one serving. Best of all, they are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, a combination that will regulate blood sugar levels and satisfy your appetite.

Enjoy!

Gratitude

If you are following your go-to-guide we are on Gratitude and deep breathing. Let's talk about being grateful for a minute. Gratitude is being thankful for all that you have in your life. It is about looking outside yourself and seeing what your teachers, parents or friends do for you. We are not born grateful we have to practice this.
Grateful people are more positive and fun to be around. Grateful people have great attitudes and are happy. Grateful people find the good in every situation. What are you grateful for today girls?

h2ooooooooooh how I love you!!

Water, agua, h2o, whatever you call it...we all need it!  And LOTS of it!  Some of my favorite ways to drink water are with a lemon slice or cucumber slice in a glass with lots of ice so its really cold!  I also like to drink my water with a straw...I don't know why, but I do!  How do you like your water?  In a cup or a bottle, with a little flavor from juice or straight out of the faucet with nothing added?  How much water are YOU gonna drink today?  This post is making me thirsty, I'm gonna go have a glass right now!  Talk to you tomorrow! :)

You choose today!

Hi P.I.N.K. girl!!  How was your challenge yesterday?  I hope you put your results in your go to guide!!  Today is a you choose day under the nutrition know-how bubble.  One of the options is to "eat clean".  So how do you do that?  Just follow this one p.i.n.k. girl rule:  don't eat anything that comes from a bag, bottle, or box!  So what does that mean you can eat?  Anything that didn't come from a bag, box, or bottle--like any fruit, vegetable, lean meat, water...try it, you just might like eating this way more often, and your p.i.n.k. girl body will thank you!
