We are all hearing about the benefits of juicing and detoxing. Celebrities like Blake Lively, Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Moore swear by the results. However, many of the store-bought juice cleanses can get very pricey (from $65 to $90 per day). After attending a great event for Vitamix Blenders, I decided to try my own hand at juicing/cleansing.

Kimberly Snyder, celebrity nutritionist and author of the Beauty Detox Solution, believes cleansing is a critical way to reach your highest potential of health and beauty. Kimberly Snyder swears by her "Glowing Green Smoothie."

Major changes started happening when I started drinking my fiber-filled Glowing Green Smoothie; my energy, skin, weight and hair improved. The Glowing Green Smoothie retains all of the fiber of the greens and fruit, rather than removing it. Fiber is critical for cleansing by sweeping out toxins, helping to keep your digestive tract and body clean, and also keeping you more full so that you tend to eat less throughout the day.

Drinking her Glowing Green Smoothie in place of breakfast is also a great way to incorporate tremendous amounts of greens into your diet — perfect for getting a great glow to the skin (can I say great wedding pics??). A serving of the GGS contains over 3 cups of dark leafy green vegetables, which is more than many people get in a week!

Recently, we played fashion matchmaker by pairing some of our favorite new Monique Lhuillier gowns with engagement rings from the designer's Fine Jewelry Collection at Blue Nile.

Now we're back for round two — who couldn't use another bling break at work? — but we're opening up the floor to more designers that debuted spectacular fashions during New York Bridal Fashion Week.

Marchesa
On your wedding day, you'll be floating on cloud nine in this textured ballgown. A nod to the '50s, this tiered tulle skirt creates a grand sense of movement. This Blue Nile Twist Pavé Diamond Engagement Ring is just as easy on the eyes.

1. A Yellow and Orange Ombré Bouquet
This brilliantly-colored bridal bouquet reminds me of a sunset with its yellow, orange, and red ombré pattern. What could be more perfect for a warm summer day? I also love that it incorporates elegant roses and playful billy balls together in the same floral arrangement.

One of the bigger decisions I had to make before our wedding is what type of "girl time" celebration to have. I knew immediately that I didn't want the traditional bachelorette party: A long (and potentially wild) night of drinking and dancing didn't really appeal to me. Instead I decided on a lingerie shower that would be cost-effective and enjoyable.

Two of my best friends, Maria and Patty, excitedly volunteered to throw the event in my honor. I was involved with choosing the invitation and creating the guest list; after that, it was all up to them to make it happen. My friends decided to involve my fiancé Rigo in the planning process so that he would be able to provide personal information about our relationship and my preferences for entertainment. Together the three of them worked on games, made the food, and prepped the house for the party.

Bridal Shower Food
The girls decided to go with finger foods for the shower since they're practical and affordable. They allowed me to approve the final menu selections and I made a few minor suggestions. The food was absolutely amazing: Guests enjoyed taco salad cups (made by Rigo), shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, chicken wings, a cheese and cracker tray, a vegetable tray, and meatball sandwiches all made by the girls.
