De-clutter, de-stress and rejuvenate— how Azza Arif hits the restart button

Can I cleanse my life? I always ask myself this whenever I feel like I have just emerged from almost drowning in another one of life’s never-ending toxic dramas. I want to experience more of life, and feel less distracted. I need to hit that restart button and start anew. ‘Cleanse your body, and you will feel rejuvenated’ they tell me. I never could understand people who go on cleanses. The ones who pay exorbitant amounts of money to beauty brands and health institutions to be stretched and drained and starved, all in the name of some clear-eyed enlightenment that comes with ‘detoxifying your organs’.
