I did my first herbal wrap on July 30. I was completely shocked with the results. I lost 7 1/2 inches with that first wrap.

7 1/2 inches gone through the waist and biggest part of my belly!

I've done 2 more wraps since. I've shed a total of 12 1/2 inches.

I'm feeling so amazing. My self esteem is back up. I can tie my boots without struggling over a huge bulge to reach my feet.

I used to look down at my body and see boobs and something that represented "The Blob" movie. Now, I look down and I see boobs, and then legs. Feels good.

My goal is to keep going. I'm incorporating healthy eating, walks, meditation, and self love with these wraps. I have faith in myself and faith in herbs.

I will be a sexy witch again!
