MIND. BODY. HEART.
Our friends over at Thrive by Food have some great tips on digestive issues and ensuring you live a happy live that is both healthy and fulfilling. Kristin - the founder (and friend) - mentioned to me that she was taking Aloe Vera before almost every meal because it helped her with digestion. I was ...
In my twenties, anytime I had a tough time with someone or was having a rough time in school or work, I had an itch to go shopping. I wanted an instant satisfaction and feeling of happiness. The thrill of finding a nice new pair of shoes or that perfect top for Friday night...it ...
Are you one of those people that cannot seem to just sit down and rest? Turn off your brain? I have some friends who work from home and it's even harder for them. Their home is their office, and their office is their home. They make dinner and after they eat are thinking about work ...
I was never one for essential oils...it seemed like too much effort and truthfully I never quite understood the purpose or benefits. A couple years ago a friend gave me a peppermint bottle and diffuser to use. It was a great first step into the world of essential oils, but I still didn't completely step ...
Ginger. My friend. My savior. Every time I feel a little...let's say nauseous...ginger has been there for me. That's why I will never...ever...mix ginger ale or ginger equivalent with alcohol. It's my safety drink. I count on it the bad days and the eh, it could be better days. But why is ginger such a powerful ...
I'm that person who falls over walking. Trips on myself, and constantly spills something on my own shirt. You'd be lucky if it wasn't your shirt.

For about a year, I've had a bottle of apple cider vinegar sitting in my fridge. Just sitting, waiting, taunting me. I tried it once, and I almost gagged. Realizing, drinking it straight wasn't the best way to ease in, or to consume it regularly. But as of lately, I've tried to be better about ...
Sugar - we hate it...we love it...it's a tug a war relationship. Personally, I grew up with a sweet tooth where I always wanted a little dessert (ok maybe more than a little) after dinner. It was my reward...right? It was always hard for me to turn down ice cream or cake or cookies. I ...
It's true - I have the worst green thumb. I've even killed a cactus, when I over-watered it. Sorry to the friend who left it in my care, one summer. But, what are the benefits of said plant if you can manage to keep it alive and not under or over-nourished? Awesome ones... The benefits of ...
