Subscription Prescription

Like clockwork, the postman delivers a glossy, perfect-bound happy to my door, and just like that, everything (the cold weather, exhaustion when it's only Tuesday etc) is okay again. 

I have a deep appreciation for the written word and an ever fonder affection of magazines. I cannot help myself. Specifically, this obsession has found its muse in InStyle. It's by far my favorite magazine, and I think it will always be (sorry, Vogue, I know this is a mortal sin). Last night, I found the March issue, featuring cover girl Nicole Kidman, and couldn't help but smile. At a whopping 616 pages without front of back covers, I'd say print is definitely not dead (if you care to learn more about my feelings on this, look at the last page of the December 2013 Memphis magazine). Lucky for me.

I haven't nearly had time yet to read through the whole thing but just from skimming I've found a few favorites ranging from the visually beautiful to the practical and helpful.  

The perfect medicine for a blah day.

Juice Plus

It's no secret that I've been bitten by the juicing craze, but I've never been brave enough to actually take the plunge and try one. I was thinking about it today, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks-- I already do juice... plus.

Juice Plus+ has been a Cox family habit since I was in high school, and my mom even sells the stuff. It's full of fruits, veggies, and nutrients to make it oh-so-easy to meet your daily goals of good stuff. It's helped my allergies and my track record with illnesses like colds and flu, not to mention the whole digestive aspect.

But don't take my word for it, click here for expert reviews, published scientific journals, and testimonials about whole food nutrition.

It even comes in gummy-form in case you have a rough time with the capsules.

Fun facts: 
-it's made in the good ole U.S. of A.
-Juice Plus+ has other products besides the vitamins
-My mom has gotten other people in our family and her friends to start taking it and they now swear by it, too.
-I've actually been at events where people walk up to my mom and ask for it because they've 1) heard of the benefits 2) know she uses it and sells it or 3) just found our they're preggers (yes, it has amazing benefits for all but especially helpful to keep lil bambinos healthy in the womb).

And if all this doesn't convince you... what could it hurt?

Think about it: 

since when is eating more 

fruits and veggies a bad thing?
