'Fit Tea' And Other Fad Cleanses Don't Work The Miracles You Think They Do, Reconsider Before Trying One

Trust me, the celebrities that promote it probably don't use it.

Oh, Fit Tea. You've seen it on Instagram, whether it's a sponsored add that pops up, a fitspo you follow or one of the Kardashian sisters promoting it. Fit Tea is EVERYWHERE. But does it actually work? I won't save the suspenseful answer because it doesn't.

Fit Tea is just another weight loss gimmick to get girls like you reading this article to think you will magically lose 10 pounds if you just drink the tea all day every day for two weeks or more. But have you ever noticed the types of girls these companies have to promote these teas?

Girls that are already fit, famous, or lived a healthy lifestyle BEFORE this magical fit tea came knocking at their door with a pretty check.

Let me explain something: When you put your body through a "cleanse" you do clean out all of the bad, you may even shed a few pounds. But when you continue your regular diet throughout or after the cleanse, your body goes back to where it was before, and I am sure it was beautiful.

A healthy lifestyle will get you to that summer body that you may be so eager to achieve. Notice I said lifestyle, and not a diet because I do not believe in diets. You try something, it works, you go back o your regular routine, and you gain the weight back and it's a neverending struggle and fights with body-positivity and confidence.

Once you start exercising, feeding your body healthy foods, and living in whatever way healthy is to you, then you will see results.

So please, do not give into Fit Tea or any sort of "detox" that says you will lose 10lbs in a week, because it is not healthy, the celebrities promoting it probably don't even drink it themselves, and you can find alternate, realistic ways of reaching your goals.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
