| The sunset before the storm. |
As the snow fell in our Portland metro area over the last few days off and on, I was able to revel in its beauty. It blankets the world and muffles all noises, and I feel surrounded by a peaceful world.

While the world was being purified by snow, I began my juice cleanse.

Yesterday was a struggle, while I suffered from a headache (which just started to subside tonight), and I started with a hot mug of water and lemon juice. My first blended juice was a strawberry raspberry cucumber juice by Daphne Oz (the recipes are from The Chew).
I continued the day with drinking chicken broth, more strawberry raspberry cucumber juice, and a green juice.
Today I had a delicious breakfast blueberry banana juice along side some green tea and lemon water.
This afternoon I allowed myself some broth based tomato soup and more lemon water. And tonight I had the best juice yet! And the surprise ingredient: a jalapeño! But I promise it is delicious.
I'm hoping each day will get a little bit easier. Tonight, as the snow has passed us and been replaced by rain and wind, I only have three days left. Now, I just need to stay off
pinterest, with all the foodie pins—I'm torturing myself!
