Bootealicious

 It's rare that I agree to try anything that centres around a poor play on words, but alas, I appreciate the premise that drinking tea could make me thin. Tea drinking is after all one of my favourite things and if it makes me Bootealicious, then that's all the better.

The daytime teatox has a citrus flavour and really isn't at all unpleasant (despite the moany reviews I read online prior to trying it)  however, I'm a lifelong fan of lemon green tea and it's  along a very similar line. The nighttime teatox is ultimately peppermint tea with some spooky laxative ingredients which don't taste of anything but certainly are present (don't be fooled by the pastel, girly packaging…you'll be in for a long night.)

I assigned a gorgeous little pink and cream Cath Kidston cup and saucer to the fortnight of teabags, which made it all the more enjoyable and, to my surprise, this stuff works. A little on the waste line and a lot to your sense of well-being.

I lost about five pounds while taking the teabags but the most noticeable changes were in how I felt - my skin was better, I felt 'cleaner' inside and the daytime teabags particularly make you feel rejuvenated and invigorated  throughout the day.

I will probably aim to re-order and stick to this teatox for a fortnightly period every six months, just for the way it makes me feel.

My body is probably never going to be too bootealicious for ya, babe but a little of what you fancy does, in this case, do you good.

For months now I've been seeing photos people who are actually managing to get horrible things such as kale and spinach and raw beetroot into their systems, with what I had assumed to be ironic hashtags such as #Yum and #Delicious.  I thought it was high time to see if my friends were trying to make us all feel bad for not eating veg, or whether there truly is a way to make salad enjoyable, so it's time to step forth and take a bullet and see how I get on.

I'll be posting recipes I try, good or bad, and be genuinely honest about whether this is a money making scheme or a waist-shaping tasty invention and ALL your comments, words of encouragement (especially on days when I'm downing things that are lurid green) and also any tasty recipes you have tried, will be welcome.
