PURE Challenge Inspiration | Issue #20
| |
"Bishnu Ghosh, my guru, loved me unconditionally, but his love for me was not coddling, not the kind that offers excuses. Instead, it was challenging. There was no room for weakness. No room for smoking, drinking, or fooling around. He beat me like a hammer all my life, so that nobody could ever make a scratch on my body, on my mind or on my soul. He made me bulletproof, cold-proof, fire-proof, windproof, emotion-proof, sex-proof, money-proof, stress-proof---everything proof!"

Can You Transform Your Whole Life in 60 Days?
By Paige Williams
O, The Oprah Magazine - January 2010
She's 80 pounds overweight, divorced, out of work, and deeply in debt. She needs a physical and spiritual overhaul. Can 60 days in a Bikram hot-yoga studio really undo years of damage?
The teacher wants me to make a Japanese ham sandwich. To my knowledge, I've never seen a Japanese ham sandwich, but as I understand it, I'm to stand bent with my face to my shins and chest to my thighs in perfect vertical union-I am the sandwich.
I would say I look more like a jelly roll. My flabby abdomen won't let my forehead anywhere near my knees, and my legs tremble as I try contorting myself into a position my body neither recognizes nor endorses. The goal is to concentrate on stretching and breathing, but I'm fixating on my unpedicured toenails. And the neon paleness of my legs. And the fact that I probably should have shaved. Read more...

Featured Sponsor - E3 Oils
Dedicated to the wellness of your body from the outside in. We use only the highest quality ingredients. Over 90% of our product is therapeutic grade, certified organic and organic essential oils as well as carrier oils. We use no synthetics of any kind. We believe that anything you use on your body should be beneficial not only physically, but energetically as well. We believe that anything you use on your skin should aid in your personal wellness and knowing that the skin is the largest organ on our body, that purity is a must.
Two Chicks From Texas in the Oil Business
We did this purely for ourselves...at first. Our skin-with our lifestyles and counteracting the abuse we give it daily-was our primary goal. We are two single mommies in our mid 30's and 40's who live very eccentric and artistic lives. The late nights, the parties, the brutal Texas sun, the summers of constant swimming holes and watching as time slips by faster and faster each day. The last thing we want is to look like wasted away, leathery old ladies. We have a saying down here in Texas, "She looks rode hard and put up wet." Oh noo, that won't be us! So instead of allowing mother nature to take her course, we took matters into our own hands. After extensive research we formulated our oils and started bathing ourselves in them daily.
After 6 months of use Mariska's esthetician looked at her skin with delight and praise, told her that what ever she'd been doing was working like a miracle and to keep on keepin on. We knew then that we'd struck oil and our E3 line was born! It was our little secret. Now, we are making it yours!
