How often do you have a bowel movement (poop, take a dump, drop kids off at the pool, boo-boo, make a stinky)? Take a moment and think about it. Ask yourself how many times have you crapped this week? Okay, what about today?? Trust, I get it, talking about bowel movements often makes people squeamish […]
Yep, it’s that time of year. You know when everyone is ‘detoxing’ or talking about needing to detox. But what the heck is detoxing and what does it even mean? Honestly, years ago, I knew detoxing to be what happened when you wanted to break your addiction to drugs and / or alcohol; however, like […]
I love essential oils. Those who know me, realize this and those who look at my life (from the outside) can assume that and be correct. I use essential oils topically, mixing them with shea butter and various oils like coconut, macadamia, jojoba, almond, and others. In addition, I use Young Living’s Vitality line of […]

And trust I know […]
The foundation of any structure (or relationship) is important. In order to build something solid that can withstand adversity and hard times, the foundation MUST be sure. So when considering any lifestyle modification, we must do so with a foundation of solid information. I am very big on research and always in search of: who, […]
