DIY Diet Water

January 11, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 4 Comments

weightloss-diet-cleanse-detox-water

I am sure you have seen all the healthy waters online and wondered just how to get started and make your own. Well here is a quick recipe I use. I make the jug up and top it up with extra water during the day. I typically drink 2-4 litres of water per day so drinking a jug of this is very easy for me.  Obviously this water isn’t going to drop the kilos but it is going to hydrate and refresh you whilst giving you all the benefits of nature.

If you want to know more about each ingredient then simply google it and how it helps weight-loss as there are just too many articles to share.

The only preparation for this water is allowing the green tea to cool and chopping your limes and lemons.

Lemon and Limes Lemon is a diuretic and it is an alkaline food which provides a pH balance in the body. Chop these and pop into water with (washed) skin on.  1 lemon, 1 lime.

Cucumber is a natural diuretic. It boosts the kidney function and has a great weight loss effect. Cucumber is also great for hangovers.

Green Tea – Full of anti-oxidants, gives you energy (20 g of caffeine) and helps speed up metabolism. More bath and Body recipes using green tea.  Use 1 tea bag into a cup of boiling water when cooled add to water mix, I throw in the tea bag too but optional.

Ginger is one of my favorite ingredients. Ginger is great for colds, flu and weightloss.  1-2 teaspoons of crushed ginger.

    Is this recipe good for just a simple drink, or should you not have it if it’s not for your diet?

    It’s healthy no matter what reason you are drinking it for.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
