Day 13 Body by Vi Shakes

Banana-orange n creme shake right now! Sorry I got lazy to take a picture lol. I used the Vi-shake mix ins instead of real orange juice (turns out mine expired...) and 1 banana. surprisingly it didn't turn out too vitamin tasting, I was surprised!

Today is day 13. I can say, unsatisfying, I'm personally not dropping the pounds, but, I wasn't expecting that since I started this thing at 142-140 (it was changing a lot between that). I'm steadily at 140... but I did have to cheat 3 times last week with drinking! :( (events that I couldn't be able to handle if I were sober HAHA).
BUT..on the bright side, I do feel a lot less bloated which I LOVE! All I can say, is these shakes better do what they claim...if it's keeping me at my own weight, but converting fat into muscle..that is fine with me! Since muscle does look better than fat haha.
I did take a before picture right when I started, but I've yet to take it now after about 2 weeks...maybe today or tomorrow. I'm saving those pictures for later if there's a noticeable difference :p

For this post, I will be posting only the pictures of the shakes I have been doing since I last made a post. Most of you that really want to know the recipe, I am sure can figure out. But if you would like it, feel free to email me or add me as a friend on FB (link to the right >)
Most of the time, I post these on facebook and instagram as well.

 Another vanilla caramel frappuccino (from a previous post)

 Strawberry banana n creme

 Strawberry cheesecake and coffee cheesecake. I had a little issue with these. Either I just so happened to add too much mix of the cheesecake jello or vi-shape mix both times..or it's just the cheesecake. I personally think it's the cheesecake mix because I made stawberry cheesecake twice and it came out the same (that time WITHOUT the strawberry mix in).
Anyway, the problem I had was they had a major vitamin taste! They were still good, just that vitamin after taste bothered me :(

Cookies n creme shake again

 Chocolate banana! I tasted the banana more than the chocolate!

 I went a bit crazy on this and pretty much mixed all my coffee things lol. It was actually really good! 

 Hazelnut frappeccino

Egg nog coffee frappuccino!
The "holiday nog" shown here is a diet version of regular egg nog. I still prefer the regular one WAY better!

Body by Vi Day 3

I hope this darn shake diet works and I loose at least 2 pounds by the end of the week lol.
Mixes for the shakes have their own special cupboard! With exception for cold stuff and fruit.
Some of you are probably wondering "why jello mix?" The pudding mixes help with making the shakes more of the milkshake consistency...which is more enjoyable than a watery shake!

Orange n creme shake! Or orange julius for breakfast. Perfect!

1 cup almond milk
1 cup orange juice
tbs vanilla jello mix
banana
2 scoops vi-shape mix
ice


Shamrock shake for dinner!! Omg, I died, went to heaven and came back.
If you are like me, totally overly obsessed with shamrock shakes, this is A-MAZING!!

I thought it was weird that it uses pistachio mix, but hell, who cares if it tastes like McDonald's shamrock!!
I was so crazy, I made a HUGE portion that only came out to about 260 calories with NON SUGAR FREE pistachio jello mix (No, I wasn't even able to finish it lol)....that amount at McDonalds would have probably been around 900 calories!!

I got so excited, I even bought a 24 pack on Amazon of sugar free pistachio pudding mix, which will cut the calories even MORE. What more could one ask for..a healthy shamrock shake and loose weight off it? F*CK YES! LOL

Vanilla extract (to taste)
Food coloring
Mint extract (to taste)
1 tbs pistachio jello pudding mix
1 cup almond milk
1 scoops vi-shape mix
ice


For breakfast this morning I had an awesome vanilla caramel frap! I used to order fraps at Starbucks a lot in high school until I started my last weight loss run (I lost 30lbs right after high school..kept it off til now, 5-6 years later, I've gained 10, not bad for 5 years).
Anyway, a frap without the guilt....love!

There are a ton of different versions for a coffee shake, but I thought i'd go crazy and mix it up with this above! It sort of had a "java chip" flavor

1 tbs vanilla caramel maxwell house latte mix
1 tbs instant coffee
1 tbs vanilla sugar free pudding mix
1 banana
1 cup almond milk
2 scoops vi-shape mix
ice
Enjoy a guilt free frap!


And here is tonight's dinner. Super creamy!
Boston creme pie shake

1 6oz yoplait boston cream pie light yogurt
1/2 banana
1 cup almond milk
2 scoops vi-shake mix
1 tbs vanilla sugar free pudding mix (optional and not pictured)
ice

CHEERS! :)

Juju's Current Obsessions

Please note, none of there are in any specific order =]

The Body Shop's Raspberry Born Lippy
I have only had this for a few days...after the first use, I was in LOVE!

The Body Shop's Seaweed Clarifying Toner
The smell of this is so fresh and soothing. I use it after cleansing when waking up, showering and before bed! I loved it so much, I had to stock up on one of their sales..I now have 3 bottles of it!

The Body Shop's Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream
I have been in search for a good night cream for years. I love how this feels when applied and the scent is soothing!

Eyelash Curlers
I cannot go anywhere or do anything without curling my lashes! They are annoyingly, naturally straight. I HAVE to curl them or else I will just feel weird!

Diet Pepsi
Pepsi lover, not Coke. ;]
Pretty Addictions' 25 Karat Gold Mineral Eye Shadow
I'm a neutral makeup lover at heart. Other than browns, my other favorite is golds. 


Apple iPhone
I FINALLY caved in and got one of these babies! Since I work from home, have an iPod Touch and Kindle, and used my boyfriend's phone to check orders while we were out, I never saw a need for the phone. But I just thought, what the heck, I might as well. No regrets! Lol

Starbucks Iced Caramel Macchiato
It's just AMAZING! I'm sure it has to do with the caramel. 

Pintrest
Pointless, but addicting. 'Nough said.

And last, but not least...
 Jujubeads Jewelry & Cosmetics
What can I say, I'm a workaholic..it's my business. So, it is only natural that I'm obsessed with it!

My break today from work..spent with Kayla!

Since I haven't made any posts recently, I thought I'd do a quick one right now of my findings today!
I don't go out too often since I am pretty much a workaholic and don't get much time to myself... but today was spent with my friend Kayla!
 Oh and guess what...I FINALLY got an iPhone today!! YAY!! I cannot put it down :p You'd think me, a person who has their own business, would have a "smart" phone lol. 

Anyway! We decided to go to CVS after lunch..this is what I got:
Basically a bunch of lippies because I am a lippie freak, 2 polishes by Wet n Wild but a "new" brand they made, Wet n Wild Tinted Moisturizer in Sun Kissed, a rip off perfume of J. Lo's Glow (it smells just like it and it was only $10!), Wet n Wild cream eye liner gel and lash glue to finally try my official attempt at lashes. Along with 2 Wet n Wild lipsticks and one of Revlon's lip butters which I LOVE. I need to get the other colors!
You may be noticing that most of the stuff is Wet n Wild...well they were on sale for 30% off :p

As Kayla's friend commented.. Only in America!
Hilarious lol. No we didn't buy it!!

I plan to try this very soon :p

My first official attempt of applying falsie lashes...success! :]

Of course I had to get my Starbucks fix as well.
My usual is an Iced Non Fat Caramel Macchiato!

Random & Iced energy coffees

Sorry, no new jewelry yet! I got attacked with orders on Thursday/Friday, and I haven't been home >_< since Thursday morning.  And I got a test Thursday!  Okay, I came home Saturday, but I was only home for a few hours because I have a babysitting job now, yay! I like it =] Going again tonight!

New Lifehouse album YAY! I'm so happy :D I loved their Everything song.. and now that there's a live studio version of it too...woooow D:

I've been wanting to try a good coffee energy drink that I like that I can keep in my fridge. (Easier access than going to a coffee shop :P) Especially for the summer =] I LOVE iced cold coffee so much more than hot.  

On Thursday, I tried Rockstar's Roasted Coffee & Energy in Light Vanilla. It was okay. It kind of had a slight after-taste that I didn't like too much. I would only re buy it if there wasn't another choice.
Right now, I have  Starbucks Doubleshot Light. I like this one more than Rockstar's. There's no weird aftertaste in it. The taste isn't too strong, which I was hoping for. I bought the little 6.5 Fl Oz cans in the 4 pack. I would definitely rebuy it =]

I want to try Monster's coffee ones, but they don't have light/diet :/

Business cards now! I want to make bracelets....

I made myself business cards now! yay! They're not all that pretty looking, buuuuut at least it's something now! =D 

Excuse the poor image, it was taken with my pathetic OLD phone. I seriously need a new one, BAD!
Oooooh prettyyyyyyyyyy =D 
Yes, I, MYSELF actually made them :P Not ordered, lol.

I'm really really really getting into a bracelets making mood... which is probably because DSK has been making them all month. I try my best NOT to copy her designs since I want to appreciate and honor her hard work. She's amazing =] I actually get mad when I see a few people doing her EXACT same pieces lol. Oh how tempted I am to do a cluster bracelet! LOL. They're just really pretty :[ I'm actually want to try to do some double to triple stranded bracelet things though...

I drank coffee around 8pm so now I'm wide awake... I don't know how my parents went to sleep! (They drank some with me too). I have class tomorrow at 7:30am...but I know I can't sleep! @_@
