My Plan 

Why 400 Days of Juice?

I need a rebirth.
I think most people somewhere along the line need one. A time to discard old vestiges of oneself and rise, like a phoenix, from the ashes a little newer and fresher.
So, here's mine...

...I recently purchased Natalie Savona's The Big Book of Juices: More than 400 natural blends for health and vitality every day. I mean with a byline like that who wouldn't want it. It is an amazing and beautiful book with "more than 400"  recipes separated into three categories: Juices, Smoothies and Quenchers. The pictures alone are worth buying the book, but the content is what I wanted.

I bought this book for the purpose of incorporating fresh juices into a healthy lifestyle, but there were so many recipes I was overwhelmed and it sat on my shelf, unused. Later that month a friend of mine suggested I start a blog about my life as wanna-be film industry professional working as a tour guide, nanny and after school teacher in NYC (something I have toyed with, but was never sure I had enough material to pull it off). So, on the subway home - somewhere between Manhattan and Brooklyn - I thought to combine my pursuit for a healthier lifestyle and my general angst in becoming a full-fledged, responsible adult in American society...

So, my goal is to try one of Ms. Savona's juice recipes a day and blog a little bit.
I'll keep the recipes and juicing information at the top and all the emotional stuff at the bottom. This way if you're only interested in the lifestyle stuff, skim the bit off the top, if you're only interested in my cathartic release and tales of NYC scroll to the bottom and enjoy. If you are like me and always want it all - enjoy the full monty, 'cause let's face it a true "healthy lifestyle" includes all of the above.
