I get so many curious questions from people about the Evolution Fresh 3 Day Juice Ritual I test-drove last September [Read the two part series here and here], and my general thoughts on cleansing + detoxing in general. It’s such a hot topic these days, and dare I say, almost borderline trendy. Not shocking, considering […]
