Are you ready to Power Start your 2024?
Let me introduce you to my favorite power-starting cleanser of the year!
Recharge dry, dull skin with a cleanser that exfoliates and hydrates.
Recharge dry, dull skin with a cleanser that exfoliates, hydrates, and heals. This foaming cleanser contains eco-friendly Perlite that gently exfoliates dead skin, allowing Aloe Vera, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint Leaf Oil to hydrate, heal, and fortify skin. Formulated for men but highly effective for all.
This is my favorite cleanser for the men in my life. But it's not just for men, though. It is also my favorite cleanser for the shower because the peppermint smell wakes me up, the Perlite has beads that exfoliate my skin, and then the aloe hydrates. I LOVE this for my cleansing in the shower. It feels good on my whole body, too!

I'm always here if you have questions about living the Trim Healthy lifestyle!
My absolute favorite part of doing the Trim Healthy plan is the all day sippers! I call myself the "sipper queen" because I love my drinks so much! There are so many sippers to enjoy, but I also like specialty drinks like Kombucha because of the benefits. Kombucha is not a sipper, but it's a drink that is a Fuel Pull or S friendly up to a half cup due to the carbs in it.
My family enjoys it as an E drink in the evenings because we often drink more than a half cup of it.
What is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black tea drink commonly consumed for its purported health benefits like your gut health. Fruit, herbs or other flavorings are often added in the second ferment. I like to think of kombucha as an all-natural probiotic that will cleanse and heal your gut! 
Here is a store-bought Kombucha we had while on vacation and enjoyed in wine glasses.
When buying it from the store, look for 2 grams or less of added sugar.
What do you need to make Kombucha?
A scoby
(Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria & Yeast)
Kombucha starter
(This will have a kombucha scoby and 1 cup of already made kombucha tea)
Black Tea or Green Tea
Sugar
(this gets eaten up in ferment process)
Water
Glass Jars
A cheesecloth or linen with a rubber band to hold cloth on.
From left to right:
Two black tea bags in boiling water, my scoby hotel and the tea choices I have to make the tea.
I'm adding one cup of cane juice crystals to the gallon jar of black tea and I left room at the top to add the scoby and Kombucha starter from the last batch I made.
I'm adding one cup of cane juice crystals to the gallon jar of black tea and I left room at the top to add the scoby and Kombucha starter from the last batch I made.Where do you get your scoby from?
I got mine from a friend to save money, but Cultured Food Life is my go-to for fermented foods.
I just added pure water to the gallon jar after steeping the tea and letting it cool, so it doesn't hurt the scoby. Then I placed the scoby and a cup of kombucha from the last batch in the gallon jar. The scoby is floating in there and will work it's way to the top. I placed cheesecloth over the top.
How do you make Kombucha?
Boil a cup of water and add two black tea bags.
Let cool.
Put the cooled tea in a gallon glass jar or crock
Add one cup of Cane Sugar
Add the scoby and Kombucha starter
Fill to the top with pure water.
Place a cloth over the opening of the jar and secure with a rubber band.
(This keeps dust, mold spores, and vinegar flies out of the fermenting tea.)
Let it sit for 10-14 days.
After sitting in an undisturbed and a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight 10-14 days, I prepared a second ferment. This is my lemon-ginger double fermented Kombucha.
For this batch, I placed a whole peeled lemon and around three to six inches of peeled fresh ginger in my vitamixer with a little bit of the Kombucha, then used a funnel and distributed it equally among the jars and added in the Kombucha, leaving out the scoby and a cup of the Kombucha starter.
I leave the second ferment on the counter for three more days and then place in the refrigerator.
I often make drinks in batches for the week!

First ferment Kombucha, kefir, Parrot Punch from Trim Healthy Future, Spuice from the Trim Healthy Membership, Lemon/Ginger Kombucha and Hydrated Hummingbird from Trim Health Future.
