plexus trial {days two-five}

Starting my trial of Plexus Slim, I was extremely skeptical. I didn't like the flavor of the drink, and I was not convinced that it could help me. As I've done the trial, though, I've begun to change my mind.

Day Two: Today, I have had the feeling of when you have just exercised. I am energized, and I am hungrier than normal. It's a great feeling! If this is what taking Plexus always feels like, I'm in.

Day Three: I forgot to take Plexus in the morning, so I took it before supper. I didn't feel any different today.

I took a little break in the middle of days three and four. I was away for the weekend, and I was sick.

Day Four: I still am not crazy about the flavor of Plexus, but I'm beginning to like it. After all, I'm starting to see some positive results of drinking it. Today, I was extremely motivated to get things done, and I had the energy to do them, despite being sick all weekend.

Day Five: I slept all night last night (Normally, I wake up in the middle of the night.), and I woke up refreshed and full of energy (Normally, I have to drag myself out of bed). I am a huge fan of sugar, but dessert had no appeal to me last night. I'm beginning to think that I might want to do a thirty day trial of the "pink drink".

My Plexus Slim trial has made me want to try more. Even though I am still skeptical, I would like to, eventually, give Plexus Slim another try.

plexus trial {day one}

When I first started seeing my Facebook friends posting about Plexus, I just kept scrolling and didn't pay any attention to the posts. I had seen so many advertisements on tv telling how such and such a company had created a product guaranteed to make you lose weight (showing several "before" and "after" pictures of people that had used this magic formula), and besides, I didn't need to lose weight.

Eventually though, I started to see more and more posts about how this "pink drink" had helped people not only to lose weight but to feel much better and how it helped them with several of their health problems.

I was still skeptical, but I began to pay attention to the Facebook posts that I saw about Plexus.

I've wanted to try Plexus products for a while now, but I have never been able to justify spending $24.95 for a 7-day trial. I recently won a giveaway though and was given five Plexus Slim packets to try, along with three Accelerator capsules and a sample of the Ease cream. 

I decided to start my five-day Plexus Slim trial today. Even though I don't need to lose weight, I am hoping that Plexus Slim will help me with some health issues. Since I'm not using Plexus to lose weight, I won't need to take the Accelerator capsules. I'm sure that some of those reading this post may be interested in Plexus Slim/want to know more, so I'm going to walk you through my five day trial and give an honest and unbiased review as I go along.

To start my trial, I opened the package and read the directions. 

One of the first things that I noticed was that you need scissors to open the packets. Thus, they aren't very travel friendly. To me, this isn't a big deal, but for those who are taking Plexus Slim on the go, it might pose a challenge.

After I got the packet opened, I poured it into my water bottle and shook it up.

Even after shaking it for a while, there were still clumps of drink powder on the bottom of the bottle.

I ended up pouring it into a cup in order to help the powder dissolve. Once everything was dissolved, I took a sip. First thoughts on the drink itself.... it is very sweet. To me, it tasted like Kool Aid. 

I'm not expecting to see any changes in my health yet, but my initial thoughts on the drink are a bit disappointing. I expected something that tasted a little nicer (maybe more like a juice than a sugary drink), but I guess that the results are what you're paying for, not the drink itself. I'm excited to see what happens in the next few days as I continue to try Plexus Slim. Have you tried any Plexus products? What were your thoughts?

Check back soon for my review of the Plexus Ease cream and an update on my Plexus Slim trial.

the blizzard

Even though I recently moved to PA from Wisconsin, I still was not prepared for the amount of snow that we got on Saturday. Just over two feet of snow was much more than I was expecting!

When I came home from work on Friday evening, it was just beginning to snow, and there was no snow on the ground yet. When I woke up Saturday morning, everything outside was white.

Tucker is loving the snow (as usual).

Our new puppy Leo is too. We got Leo a few months after we moved, and he has been the perfect addition to our family. He's is a five month old Pom-a-poo (Pomeranian/Poodle mix) who is very well behaved, for a puppy.

Tuck still isn't too sure about him, but they are starting to like each other. 

I know that many people are not enjoying the snow, but I am loving it. It's like a little taste of home. What to do you think of the snow?

hi, again.

Nearly four years ago, after blogging for several years, I decided that it was time to close my blog. My posts had gotten very jumbled, and my heart wasn't in it anymore. In the past few years, I've tried to slowly ease back into blogging (first with a photography blog and then with a cooking blog). I'm finally ready to begin blogging again frequently.

Lots has happened in the years since I closed my blog, and I've changed a lot. Some things have stayed the same though; one of which is my love for God. That's why I decided to name my new blog "With a Purpose" to remind me that my purpose in blogging is to honor and glorify my Savior.

Here's a quick recap of what I've been up to lately. I recently moved with my family from my home in the cold state of Wisconsin back to sunny (and not quite as cold) Pennsylvania (where I was born). I love it here. I graduated high school in June, and I plan to go to college in the fall of 2016 (Is anyone else feeling weird that they're old enough to go to college? :p). Right now, I have a wonderful job as a nanny. I love it!
