We get the glow – Our final thoughts

Of course I had expectations when starting this challenge. Some were met, some weren´t and I was in for a few surprises. Caffeine withdrawal, for example.     And of course I had some expectations after finishing. Which I, technically, just did yesterday.

We get the glow – The introduction

Remember when I announced I was starting a series on You Tube with one of my favorite persons? Well, today is the day. And the person I refer to is … drumroll… my mom.     The reason she agreed to join me in front of the camera is a six weeks program we are going to start. The six weeks “Get the glow” plan from Madeleine Shaws book.
