Detox = Dr. Dre

When I googled detox to come up with some ideas for this month, Google came back with about 11,800,000 pages, wow! People are not joking around. The pages range from diets, cleanses and a Dr Dre album to drug and alcohol facilities. Now while I could take the easy road and pledge to listen to more of Dr Dre’s Detox album this month, I will try to give myself a little more of a challenge and go the cleanse and alcohol route.

First up- my red wine habit, rough on the budget and my waistline. I drink empty calories by the glass almost every night, sometimes more than one and it doesn’t help that my partner in crime, my lovely fiancé, enjoys the vino as much as I do. So I am going to Detox this month by not drinking any red wine or alcoholic drinks during the week, Monday- Thursday (editors note: except for Happy Hours) I will and can do this!

Another area of my life that needs some detoxing is my home. I love my house but I have now been living in it for two years, it is the longest I have lived in one home, nod to my old transient days of past. Without the annual moving of things and throwing out of crap, I notice my house has attracted piles of who knows what in corners, closets and cupboards. With the upcoming wedding and new goodies rolling in to help start our marriage, I pledge to detox my house of all the old pots, pans, luggage, unused sporting equipment and general junk this month!

Now I know some of you are out there are shaking your fingers at me and saying, no wine and cleaning your house, really tough Cassie! But hey, I need to set achievable goals and I mean, I could just be listening to more Dr. Dre.
