Ardens Garden Detox

Well I decided to blog about this experience. For those of you who care to read or not. I think I am blogging for personal satisfaction. Well this crazy detox business started yesterday curious about a 4 shot wheat grass/ginger/cranberry/lemon thing one of my regulars rants and raves about. So I dragged my boyfriend into the shop and sat down for the shots. Preparing, I noticed the two day detox on the wall. The helpful clerk told us all about it and we decided to de-toxin our bodies! ps. I have never done anything like this, no diets ever, and I even roll my eyes at people who do this sort of thing....... figures..

Today was the first of the two days. I will give a more time by time update as the night progresses as well as tomorrow and if i survive! I think i just want to see if I have the discipline. So I have to drink two gallons over the two days (8 oz each hour) of a distilled water/grapefruit/lemon/orange juice combination and as much water as I want.

5:12pm: This is not as bad as I thought it would be, It is interesting that each time I begin to get hungry its time again to drink and I fill back up again. I also am starting to get back pains. The same type of back pains I get when I finish a deep-tissue massage. Is this the juice releasing toxins!! or is it my need for a back rub?

8:29pm: So i just finished my 8:00 "dinner" and I was kinda crossing my fingers that my boyfriend broke and ate some solid food so I can break too! I was thinking about all the food I could eat in my kitchen on the drive home from class... damn its only 8:30....

10:34pm: ughh i want chips.. this is a lot harder than i thought!

SECOND DAY


9:51am: I cheated a little last night an sunk a little snack... but I am still rolling on... I had the best sleep ever last night but now all of the main muscles in my body are sore.

biggest challenge yet...

So tweet wants me to re design their site... their site is beautiful as is.. SO challenge. With about 20 sketches later and lots of days thinking about it... the idea im going with just came to me. This is it. any suggestions? I dont think my strength is in web soo just any suggestions with the design is helpful.

Ok so this is what you see when you first go to the site. Each "card" (grabbed this off of their original site) is a roll-over image. When you roll over it the image will glow, you click, and flash takes over the card you clicked on by sliding out and on top of the stack. pretend we clicked on "portfolio".

**still have to think of how to label each card...

So you click on the card it slides over and on top of the others and a white overlay comes in from the right. and stops before the logo. (see below)
The white square on the left will appear (filled with thumbnails images of work) with the first client appearing. the brown boxes on the right are always filled with thumbnails of multiple pieces of work ie. logo, business cards, menus, etc.
