Review | Teatox By Slimming Solutions As my readers will know, I am not a diet person whatsoever as I LOVE my food and see myself as a self-confessed foodie. But what I do do, is having a detox when seasons change; beginning of Spring, beginning of Summer, beginning of Autumn and beginning of Winter. You might remember my ‘ Detox Guide ‘ from earlier this year? As I am not a big fan of taking pills, I knew drinking tea wou
