What’s with the name?

I always wonder how people come up the names of their blogs. Some are so creative or funny or random or personal and I always wonder what the story is behind it. I thought I would start off by explaining my blog name. Let me first say that I did not originally start off with The Girl with the Juicer as the name for my blog. In fact, I don’t even remember what the original name was exactly. Something like Juicy Jess but the fact that I do not recall tells you the impact the name had, basically none! The story goes a little something like this. I began juicing fresh fruits and vegetables in August of 2011 after viewing the documentary “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”. I was totally inspired to cleanse, juice and live a healthier life. Since then I have never looked back and never felt better. My energy levels are unreal. I swear, I rarely feel tired during the day and evening. I have never had a problem sleeping so I can’t speak to that but some of my friends state this as a benefit. I have dropped 15 lbs by incorporating a 20 oz juice into my daily eating routine and crave fruits and veggies all the time, hence I eat more of the good stuff and not so much, if any, of the bad stuff. I have personally inspired at least 15 people to consistently juice everyday and started a Juicing Community at my company that currently has 34 members. I have received funding to purchase a community juicer for us to use at work and with that said the name of my blog was created because I have become known as The Girl with the Juicer. Juicing has been life changing and you will read many more entries about it on my quest for optimal health and a life filled with love and happiness.

It's me!

 I am kind of all over the place. There are so many things I love to do and I want to write about everything. I am by no means the kind of writer that gets published anywhere else other than my own blog. I have never been a great speller nor did I get high marks in the grammar department but I will do my best to spell check and grammar check because there is nothing more frustrating to me than when I have to read a non-proof read facebook, twitter, blog, you get the idea, status update. So let's begin this journey and I hope you take something away from my entries. I should have a little something for everyone! Just a taste of what I will be writing about: motherhood, healthy living, relationships, family, food, exercise, entertainment, crafting, sports and of course my pursuit for eternal happiness. It is out there, I know it and I think I am pretty close to having it all!
