My top 5 Favorite Healthy Drinks

This is going to be a quite a long post because I want to share all the health and beauty benefits of each drink, so go grab your comfy pants and your long attention span! :D I'm going to provide a link for a few of the drinks, in case you would like any of them!

1. Coconut Water!

      -Health: 

.Excellant source of electrolytes

.99% fat free

.Promotes weight loss

.Immunity boost - Detoxifies and fights viruses

.Treasts kidney and urethral stone

Side Note:

-I ALWAYS pour this into my Sigg before going to the gym, because it helps keep the body cool and at the proper temperature. Plus it is packed with potassium (our central electrolyte)!.

      -Beauty:

.When I have dry skin or tightish I pour a little bit of CocoH20onto a cloth and gently rub it all over my face and neck, since it is so beneficial in hydration externally as well as internally.

-If for some reason I have CocoH20 that I have not consumed yet (nearly impossile haaha) I mix a bit into my shower soap so it can lather all over my body to moisturize, I have even heard of people creating bathing in it!!! I think that would be amazing.. because at the end you could add some ice and rum then have a party! (That would be a huge CocoLoco haahaa)

2. Szeltzer Water (aka: Bubble Water)

.I love the fizzy tingle and hydrated feeling I get when I drink this! It has zero sodium, and for added zest you can place a lemon in your glass.

3. Green Tea

Health:

.This has been a consistant beverage in my life, and it is primarily because of how amazing it is for you. 

.It is rich in anti-oxidents

.Inhibits growth of some cancers, without harming the healthy tissue.

.Lowers cholesteral levels and inhibits the formation of abnormal blood clots.

.Raises your metabolism and increases fat oxidation (the breakdown of large fat molecules and uses them for energy)

Beauty:

.Slows the aging process by protecting body against free radicals (pollution, smoking, alcohol, excessive sunlight). 

.Contains fluoride which is a mineral that helps prevent cavities, if you do not have time to brush after your meal, consider drinking a cup or two of green tea to fuel digestion and keep your pearly whites tidy!

4. Rose Hip Tea

Health:

.Rich in iron which is great during menstration because it helps replace the blood.

.The organic acids and rich nutrients help to strengthen digestive track and stomach lining to help prevent digestive problems.

.Can help to allieviate mental illnesses like depression, anxiesty, and OCD because of the medicinal properties that can calm the central nervous system.

Beauty:

.Promotes clear, radiently hydrated skin.

(I think you get best beauty results from using Rose Hip Oil (no need to dilute) beacuse of its regenerative properties for wrinkles, firmness, scars, and prevention of keloids).

And last, but not least!

5. Strawberry Lemonade

.This is primarily my indulgent drink, and although as a whole typically does not have many health, the strawberry sure does.. so that is what I will show.

Health:

.Rich in folic acid which helps to prevent/reduce brain related birth defects.

.They whiten your teeth! Cut the berry in half and rub directly on teeth and gums, this will remove tartar from teeth, as well as stregthen and heal gums. Leave on as long as desired, then rinse with warm water.

.Known to keep your beautiful skin clean and clear!

The beginning of something better,

Hello my little Gems!


The first post will be primarily about myself so you all can get to know whose blog you will soon be enjoying. If you ever have further questions in the future, please feel free to ask! :)


What will your blog be about? Why should I bother reading your posts?!
You should read them because I will make you happy! I will teach you how to properly apply makeup, reveal to you in my personal favorite items, and secrets. Plus if you participate within my blog, I promise you will all leave a little more glamorous and creative each time. <3


That's great and all.. but there are SO many other blogs out there.. what make you different?
When I have sufficient viewers, I will post a donation button as well as my own personal items up for auction and donate ALL of the  money to a charity. Sometimes I will choose my own, but most of the time I will take a poll on which charity you would all like to donate to. 


What are some of your goals for the future?
Ideally, I will someday create my own makeup line. I would love to experiment with various colors, textures, and ingredients to concoct my masterful potions (mwaaa haa haa) and share them all with you! I have struggled for SO long trying to find my perfect foundations, eye shadows, and don't even get me started on self tanners!!! It would be amazing to put all this searching to rest.


 Interesting... What does a girl like you do in her free time?
When the golden opportunity arises for solitude, I basically throw a "singular soiree" haa haa. I experiment with makeup, play with hairstyles, sketch clothing ideas and dance around while listening to robo-pop music... shhh! =0


Festive, veerrrry Festive. On a more serious note, what are you most proud of?
My ability to always see the brighter side in situations. although i have felt like life wants to de-rail my "happy train" on many occasions, I always manage to keep on rolling. This is actually one other reason I wanted to create a blog, I wanted to make sure everyone who read my posts feels they are part of my little Gem-Tastic family! I used to feel quite alone, and do not like to think there are other people out there feeling like this daily. I hope to grow close to you all and hopefully inspire you to sparkle like the precious Gems you all are. :D


Okay, seriously lady? What is up with all this nick-namey Gem stuff?!
When thinking of creating a blog, I knew I wanted to make it a community based project.. and that I wanted my readers to feel happy and accepted SO I came up with my little Gems! I thought this fit well since the site is called " Just Stuck Beauty", but also because I hope to make you all sparkle inside and out. 


You are indeed cheesy, but not enough to keep me away.. I look forward to hearing from you again. Best of luck missy.
Thank you! 




I can't wait to get my information up and running, I hope to do YouTube tutorials in the future so you all can visually see my make-up and various other techniques.. but I need to find my USB cord first. :p 


Follow and Friend! I promise not to disappoint. :)
