Hey! I got so wrapped up in taxes that I didn't blog! Bad Leah!
Today makes one full week since we have started our cleanse. We have one week to go until we are done with our cleanse drink and then 2 weeks of diet to complete til we are totally done.
Man! It wasn't hard until today. I wasn't prepared for the new diet restrictions. I will definitely be going to the market on my lunch break to get something I can whip up and after work to stock up on supplies. Gluten, dairy and processed foods free is definitely a challenge.
I've been feeling really exhausted. Just plain old tired. I'm not doing anything that's extremely exerting. I think it must be my body detoxing and adjusting to the dietary/nutrition changes. I eat pretty well most of the time so it wasn't so much of a change. Fresh fruits, veggies and meats... not many processed things. But the things like "Fresh" minced garlic, ginger and basil that I have in my fridge are still processed foods (I think). I also use canned veggies often and that's off limits.
This week definitely kicks it up a notch! I'll keep writing about it to let you know how it's going. For more info on the person who's behind this cleansing kick, check out: http://shawneeharkins.com/
We received a very, very awesome compliment today. I posted on the GoGirls facebook site that we are playing at the House of Blues on 4/2. And Madalyn, the CEO & Founder, wrote this:
"Hey everyone in the LA area, go see Leah Jee. She and her band rock! They played our GoGirls @ SXSW and I was Wow'd. If I didn't live so far away (in TX), I would be there."
SOOOO AWESOME! What an amazing compliment! For more info about GoGirls, check out: http://www.gogirlsmusic.com

House of Blues Sunset - April 2
We are playing at the House of Blues on Sunset in the VooDoo Lounge on April 2nd at 815pm. We are doing it FULL BAND! This is our first full band acoustic show in California. We previewed the show in Texas at Kick Butt Coffee for our SXSW showcase there. It went great! The band is so excited to play this show at HOB. It's all ages, $10 at the door!
See you there!
See you there!
Cleanse.5
Day 5: Today was an easy day! The drinks went down easier, and it was the first day that I felt like I wasn't super hungry!
Tomorrow, I have a lot of work cut out for me - taxes, working out, updating email addresses that we got on the road, cooking some gluten-free deliciousness, some practicing, and hopefully some hanging out with friends!
We'll see how much I get done.

Cleanse.4
So far so good. Today was the 4th day of the cleanse and I am already finished with the 2 drinks. Dani told me she's already lost some weight. I don't believe in scales but I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't been working out, I'm just so exhausted but I think today and this weekend I'll be remedying that! I have a photoshoot coming up in 2 weeks so I think cleansing and sticking to this diet and working out will help tremendously.
This morning and evening, it was much easier to drink the mix than yesterday. I've done a ton of gluten-free research this week to see what we can and can't eat. It turns out that most of my diet is pretty gluten free. I'm just substituting the things that aren't (like pasta) for the gluten free versions. So far so good. Next week, we up the ante and eliminate more things from our diet, so we are incorporating what we need to eliminate this week before it's "see ya in 3 weeks" time =)

Cleanse.2_3
Here we are at the end of day 3. Today was more difficult than yesterday, but hopefully that is a temporary set back. Hey, if it was easy, everyone would do. I feel so tired today. I'm definitely lacking motivation to go work out and feel like I could just sleep for days! I think I'm going to listen to my body this time and get some rest. I'm sure I'm still exhausted from our Texas trip, and we did play a show last night at Springbok. I find I'm really hungry, and I can't figure out if it's just a mental thing because we are on a "diet" or if it's because the cleanse is making me hungry. Hmm...
Well, I know it's early but I think I'm going to swing by the market and then get some rest.
Don't forget, we just booked a show at the House of Blues on Sunset for 4/2 at 8pm. It's a full band acoustic show. Very cool!
XOXO

Cleanse.1
Recently, I decided to start an Ultimate Cleanse. It helps get rid of all the toxins in your body, get you healthy and help you lose some weight in the process. I've been thinking about doing a cleanse like this for ages, but I really didn't trust things I saw on TV. Well, lucky for me, I've got a fantastic and very reliable source on this one. I'm working with the fabulous Shawnee Harkins, So Cal based fitness guru, and she is helping me take my health and fitness to a new level. If you want to know more about Shawnee, you can check her out here: http://www.shawneeharkins.com/
Yesterday, Dani and I embarked on our 30 day cleanse and super diet. The cleanse mix wasn't as easy to get down as we had hoped, but Dani was a cleanse drinking champ and she motivated me to get it down. Definitely true - it tastes way way way better when cold!
Over the next 29 days, we have 2 shakes to drink per day and the diet to follow. I'll blog about it because it is something that is happening with me and I was told by friends and fans that it will provide them motivation to get it done! So thanks for your support and interest in this and making me stick to it!
1 down, 29 to go.

Hey Everyone! Thank you to everyone who tuned in to the live viewing of our GoGirls showcase in Austin, TX.

We also had a great crowd to play for in Trophy's, where the showcase was held.
We had a blast and here is the link and video if you weren't able to see it or if you are just that big a fan that you want to watch it another time =)

New Songs
So, after what seems like eons, I've written a new song! It's called "Coming After You" and I can't wait to perform it out soon.
And although I don't do many covers, I've worked on a few that really are so different from the originals that they have been added to my setlist for acoustic shows. I've done "Forever" by Chris Brown and "Toxic" by Britney Spears. Come to an acoustic show and request one, or both!
See you at a show soon. Rock on! XOXO

Social Networking 3.5.11
SOCIAL NETWORKING
I've heard from my PR agency that we are getting pick up by bloggers around the country and we'll be getting more attention! Very exciting!
I checked my Reverbnation account... and in the last week, I've jumped almost 60,000 spots globally for artists of all genres! I'm in the top 200 pop artists in So Cal and within the top 1400 in the country! Such great news. I'm very proud of all that we've accomplished in the last few months, but I'll never forget all the hard work and great fan support throughout the years to get me here. You guys rock.
Remember to check us out because I am social networked to the max!

TEXAS HELP
Whew! As you can see we are busy, and more and more shows are coming in everyday! Especially since we will be on the road heading to Texas in less than 2 weeks! We’ve been taking as many gigs as possible to raise some money for our trip. We’re doing pretty well so far, but we could definitely use your help…
I've asked fans, friends and family if they'd like to help out. To get us to Texas, I’m looking for donations and to start fund raising for our trip. We’re so close to our goal for what we need to make it there, I wanted to see if you - my awesome fans and such good friends - would be interested and able to help. You have been here through so much of this journey! If you are interested in helping – no matter what the amount… $5, $20, $100, one million dollars =) – your support would be eternally appreciated. I will show my gratitude and will give you incentives for helping, which depending on your level of contribution can include listing your help via my website, liner notes thank you on the new cd (unless you'd rather be anonymous), merch like cds, shirts, hats, VIP list entry to shows, etc etc. We have 2 weeks til we hit the road and we could definitely use your help!
Let me know if you are interested in helping out! XO
