The Not-so-Healthy Detoxes

Spring has finally sprung which means more and more students are outside enjoying the weather. Most universities around this time also have their infamous Spring Weekends, Spring Concerts, etc. and with these come an abundance of alcohol and greasy food on the go.
Currently trending are the ever popular "juice diets" and it appears almost every girl is talking about them. It seems simple, binge on alcohol and junk food for a weekend and then right after that weekend (and right before summer) cleanse your body of all the toxins? Right? Wrong. These diets claim to flush the body of toxins, curing everything from nausea and headaches to insomnia and yeast infections. However, with the recent spike in popularity, more and more health professionals are seeing an abundance of malnourished and run-down young women, a group of girls Marie Claire has deemed "juicerexics".
Ladies, I know it seems intriguing because of the speedy weight loss and the celebrity sponsors that have hopped on the band wagon, but be careful. Carefully research the diet before you begin and even consult with your doctor to decide if it's even necessary. We at G2 Organics are always up for the latest trend in weight loss and workouts however we make sure to keep it safe. An extra half hour at the gym could be much more beneficial than becoming a juicerexic!

Overwhelmed By Beauty Products?

Overwhelmed By Beauty Products?

So we all know what its like to stroll through Sephora and browse every lotion and potion trying to decide which brand of a product to buy. Its time consuming! Thankfully we have bloggers to present reviews of products and help make the decision for us; after all, online shopping is the best. I just wanted to share with you some of my favorite blogs I enjoy reading and those that have great product reviews.

Rainy Days

One of my biggest pet peeves is wearing the wrong type of shoe in the rain...and this has been an incredibly rainy spring. Needless to say I've had numerous soaked shoes and dragging sweats because I didn't believe the weatherman. The greatest way to prevent it though? Hunter Boots. I purchased a black pair two years ago and they have saved my feet on countless occasions. Super comfy and perfect for jumping in puddles, Hunter Boots are definitely a must have for every girls' closet. Especially with yet another rainy weekend right around the corner!

A Legacy Never Forgotten

Exactly one week ago today one of the world's most renowned fashion icons passed, but not without leaving a legacy and a clothing line that will surely last forever.
Lilly Pulitzer, at 81, passed away in her Palm Beach home. Her bold prints and need of something to do caused her, almost accidentally, to be launched into fashion history. In 1959 Lilly opened a juice stand and quickly realized she needed a dress that would conceal orange and grapefruit juice stains, so she had one made. The pattern was so popular among the elite socialite group that surrounded her that her dresses became a closet must have. They originally sold for only $22, and in short, they were known as the Lillys, and if you didn't have one, you didn't even think twice about attending the next backyard party. The simplistic shape of the dress paired with the crazy patterns that Mrs. Pulitzer fancied were moderately priced and accessible to most, however "only those who were rich enough to have bad taste wore them". Bold prints clearly are not for everyone.
Mrs. Pulitzer, who originally married into the famous publishing family, divorced her first husband Peter and married Enrique Rousseau in 1969. She retired in 1984 and let the company take over her unique designs.
Lilly became an icon for the preppiest of the preppy and still remains one of the favorite designers for summer parties. Though her colorful spirit is gone, her clothes, her name, and her disregard for the norm in fashion will always live on. Lilly, you will be greatly missed, but certainly never forgotten.
