However that last point about electrolytes… leads me to coconut water.

We all use different products every day and reviews are gaining more traction these days, so you know what to try and what to avoid. That is – if they are honest.

Juice Cleanse

3 Day Juice Cleanse

3 day juice cleanse

A 3 Day Juice Cleanse called Schkinny Maninny – sounds like a dance doesn’t it? Or at the very least a fad product in the weight loss world, of which you should steer clear.

However I am pleased to report that Schkinny Maninny is none of those things.

When I first heard of it, I was totally sceptical. These are the thoughts that popped in my head…
