Say what you will, nothing works for a regime like a juice cleanse combined with Bikram. Seriously, the two together are unstoppable.   [Although I did have a bit of a very faint, dull headache this morning which I realized was withdrawing from caffeine.] Anyway, so many promotion things in the works for t...
