Day 1

So I began my "30 days of self" by watching Happy and Food Matters, a documentary on Netflix last night. Started my first dose of antibiotics for my sinus infection and began feeling awfully excited to become healthy again. This morning I was watching a food documentary. In one of those documentarties it talked about taking 3000mg of Niacin for mood improvements and cholesterol health. The Food Matters also talked about juicing a meal a day and eating raw to improve health.

So after getting coffee with my lovely friend and catching up on life, I headed to Sprouts to buy kale, pear, blackberries, parsley, carrots and celery to juice and added Spirulina. It's suppose to be a super food and high protein. I also bought Niacin. So after coming home and feeling remotely alive again from being sick for about a week, I juiced my vegetables, added the Spiulina and took my 3000mg of Niacin. As coincidence has it I was just educated on a "Niacin Flush" about a week ago. So after consuming half of my juice (with this new mystery super food) I begin to break out in hives all over my body, chills and itchy. I looked in the mirror and looked like I had been sunburnt. At first I thought it was this new superfood, but then realized it was this thing called the Niacin Flush.....
So my first day of health and focus on me.....
