My living space has always been a direct reflection of my life.

Since I was a little kid it’s been the same drill…living one of two existences. When my grades were up and my parents were proud of me, they granted me an extra hour of curfew on a Saturday night.  Things were in order, I was in control of my life and my room was neat and tidy.

Then there was the other side of things…messy room, couldn’t find anything to wear so might as well wear sweats, add an extra scoop on a sundae at Friendly’s, pile on the pounds so that I couldn’t fit into anything I had stuffed into my closet even if I could find it! The sum of this equation equaled depression, self-loathing, a decline in my academic performance and ultimately, my folks rescinded my privileges.

I am older now (41 years of riding the wave!) and yes, FINALLY wiser! When I am healthy inside, eating right and exercising, my personal environment is well organized, without clutter and generally a happy place to be.

Our personal environments are a direct reflection of what’s going on inside our bodies.  It all begins in our closets! Once the insides are well organized and we let go of what no longer serves us, we can truly make a space for those things that help us to shine.

Recently, I needed some professional guidance — I just couldn’t get around to really tackling my closets myself.  Elysha Lenkin, renowned NYC stylist, was the answer to my prayers.  She came to my home one day and together we pulled every single item out of my closets and with a glance she could help tell me yay or nay. She had me try on the items that were questionable and told me whether or not they worked for my body and personality.

Then we turned to the clothes I kept but had no idea what to wear them with. She combined items for me, making outfits out of random bits of clothing that I hadn’t worn in years.

In the end, I got rid of excess waste — and you know as a colon hydrotherapist I LOVE that!! I could actually see EVERYTHING I owned and even had new outfits by combining items that I had never thought of putting together. Elysha has an incredible eye for fashion. And I didn’t have to spend a dime in a store!!

A few months later I was ready for some new items and wanted a new look.  After all…I am in my 40’s now!  I again called upon Elysha and asked if she could help me find a few new dresses that still spoke of my youthful, shimmering inner self, without adding any more gold sequins garments into my closet.  (Although my life feels glamorous at times, I don’t really live on the set of Sex and the City and my name is not Samantha!)

We spent an afternoon together shopping for some new pieces to spice up my wardrobe. Elysha took me to boutiques I had never heard of before. She worked seamlessly with the salespeople and picked out outfits for me to try on.  I came home with four new winning dresses and felt fabulous in my new, slightly more sophisticated look while still feeling sexy.  Just what I wanted!

I cannot express enough how something as simple as having the right clothes in my closet that suit and express who I am today AND having them well organized, sans clutter, has changed my life!  Something soooo simple has made everything else easier.  It feels great to spend just a few minutes grabbing an awesome outfit out of my closet, knowing just how to accessorize it quickly and getting on with my day without a glance back…giving me more time to get my kids ready for school and spend extra time with them at the breakfast table.

Not to mention feeling and looking FABULOUS all day.

From now until the summer solstice (June 20th),  SanaVita clients can get a springtime closet cleanse from EyeHeartStyle for only $189 (regularly $300). For more info, click here.

I was turned onto S Factor during a crazy, hectic time in my life. I had recently given birth to two children and had just opened SanaVita. SanaVita and S Factor were the main ingredients in my personal transformation. After years of struggling with chronic constipation and the desire to feel light, healthy and sexy, I was introduced to colonics and other life-changing cleansing regimes. I finally had the tools to feel look and act well!  I my dream to create a beautiful, safe haven to help people clean out the unnecessary waste that holds us back and keeps us down.

Who wants to be held down by excess baggage while trying to flip upside down and slide down the S Pole in a sexy slithering snake?!  Believe me, I have tried. But after finally shedding the extra inevitable baby weight, I find myself able to tackle that pole with a grace and ease that I just couldn’t do before with the extra weight around my middle.

When I feel happy and productive, strong and independent, I feel sexy.  It’s really quite simple.  But when I feel bogged down by life, slow, sluggish, unmotivated, it is usually a strong indication of an imbalance occurring inside my body and my mind. And then it is a challenge to tap into that sexy goddess trapped inside my body.

At SanaVita we can help you reconnect with your inner beauty by cleansing out the old sludge that no longer serves you and washing in the new with vitality and health. We offer a wide range of services including: Colon Hydrotherapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Holistic Health and Nutritional Counseling, Biofeedback (to determine the best protocols and nutritional programs for your own unique health needs), Acupuncture, Massage, Ionic Footbaths and Reiki.

I encourage all our clients to spice up their regimen with classes at S Factor.

Here’s to looking, feeling and being your healthiest, sexiest self!

With much love and grace,
Arul

I have missed and thought of many of you often. I hope I get to see you all again and hear how this last year has been for each and every one of you.

I took a sabbatical about a year ago to take care of the 2 F’s. Family & food. The family is great & the food…still working on it. Many great recipes, including: enlight-r-g & 2die4 bars and my wheat-free, gluten-free & sugar-free {low glycemic index} pecan pies. And I have been teaching classes about food and health. I look forward to sharing all of this with you at SanaVita in conjunction with hydrotherapy.

I will be teaching a class on Detoxing & Smoothies. I will show you how you CAN feel better than you have in years, lose weight, decrease your cravings, improve your digestion and clear your mind. And, you can achieve this for a fraction of the cost of weight loss programs. Come and taste some of my best smoothies and receive my professional smoothie template to make AMAZING fool-proof smoothies.

I will also be teaching a class on Thyroid Health. What do thyroid health, IBS, chronic fatigue, high cholesterol, gluten sensitivities, dizziness, shortness of breath, low body temperature and autoimmune diseases have in common? Did you know your thyroid health can be supported on a few fundamental nutrient and lifestyle changes? Attendees will leave the class better informed about the thyroid, armed with tips and recipes to maintain this vital organ.

Looking forward to seeing you at SanaVita soon!

with LOVE,
Bella

When talking about spring-cleaning, most of us think about getting rid of the junk we’ve hoarded all winter long: the impulse purchases with the tags still attached, those bridesmaids dresses you tried to convince yourself (and your newly-married-bff) you’d wear again and those bulky sweaters from LL Bean you’ve had since 1994. You clothes closet, though, isn’t the only black hole in need in of a clean-out.

In the same way clutter builds up in our closest, minds and lives, it also builds up ever so pleasantly in our colons. Yup, you read that right, we’re talking about our intestines. And when the clutter – or “toxins,” if you will – build up, they too could use a clean out, with an invasive (pun intended) colonic irrigation.

The basic idea behind (haha) colon hydrotherapy is somewhat like an enema, but with much more H2O and none of the odors (thank goodness!) or discomfort (double thank goodness!). Plus, you don’t have to do it yourself (for better or worse). Instead, you lay comfortably on a table as a machine or gravity-driven pump flushes up to 20 gallons of water (and sometimes enzymes, herbs, coffee or probiotics) into the colon through a tube inserted into your…wait for it…rectum.

Not into the colon cleaning? Try this detox diet instead!

For my colon clean-out (or, more properly, my colon hydrotherapy), I headed to SanaVita, a holistic cleansing center in New York City designed to bring holistic services to the mainstream.  For my treatment, I was referred to Arul Hope Goldman, a woman who is serious about practicing what she preaches. After having dealt with years of serious abdominal issues herself, Arul found her cure in the form of colon hydrotherapy.  These days, she is adamant that not only the body, but also the mind cannot function with all that fickle fecal matter clogging your internal pipes.

The treatment began with disrobing from the waist down and then laying down on my side, with my tush nicely covered up.  Arul made sure to explain each step, and its importance, before doing anything. The first, and most uncomfortable (mentally, not physically), was the insertion of the tube.

With that taken care of, Arul began the process of slowly pumping water into my colon and then, every few minutes, doing a “release,” during which all the shizz that’s been setting up shop in my tum-tum is flushed out. For pumping water, SanaVita uses the highly-specialized and FDA-approved Dotolo machine. This particular machine, according to SanaVita, “not only provides unsurpassed sterility but makes the experience what is should be: comfortable and pleasant. Water pressure, temperature, and volume are carefully controlled and adjusted according to individual preference.” Arul kindly let me know each time before we did a release and made sure that if at any time the pressure was too much, we could take it down a notch.

But, you know me, if I’m doing something, I’m going full force. So, full force fecal annihilation is was.

See how acupuncture can balance you too!

After a few minutes, Arul asked me to lie on my back and, as she continued the pumping and releasing, she gently massaged my tummy to help break up the tougher bits. The whole process took about 30 minutes and, when I was finished, Arul instructed me to use the loo, which is the last release of the colonic.

When I met Arul in the waiting area, she offered me a shot of Blue Print green juice and a magnesium supplement, which may have been my favorite part of the whole process. (Heck, I’m such a sucker for BP’s green juice that I asked for more.)

In the days following, I can’t honestly say I felt much of a difference. But, then again, I’m a pretty regular releaser (I’m sure you’re all really happy to know that fact about me now) so colonics may not be a necessary part of my spring (or any other season) cleaning.

That being said, I highly recommend trying it for anyone curious about the treatment or if you’re interested in holistic treatment for any constipation-related issues. I even more highly recommend seeing Arul. She not only knows her stuff, but she also happens to have an incredibly warm and calming energy. And, if you’re a regular reader of my columns, you know how much I appreciate calming energy!
