10 Good Habits for Good Health
Simple habits and small changes in one’s life can actually make a big impact on your overall health and well being. To create a habit, it takes consistency over a period of time so that the action becomes integrated into your lifestyle rather than “just something you do” for a short period of time. The rule of 21/90 is a common standard for developing and maintaining a habit. You consistently stick to the desired goal for 21 days to make a habit and continue for another 90 days to establish it as a habit. Below are 10 good habits to help you maintain good health. Beginning with movement. Our bodies…

Dry Brushing with Prana Brush & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #148
Have you ever heard of dry brushing? Although it is an ancient Ayurvedic health practice, it was a brand new concept to me when I was first approached by Prana Brush to try an Ionic Body Dry Brush. I am a huge advocate for all natural methods of improving and maintaining health and wellness and avoiding sick visits to the doctor’s office, so I jumped at the chance to see how dry brushing works and the ways in which it can benefit my health and my body. How does dry brushing work? Dry brushing creates a natural friction between the ion-charged copper bristles and your skin, thereby producing negative ions…

Use Your Power to Empower & Link Up On the Edge #157
I have said this 100 times, maybe 1,000 times, maybe more. Experience is knowledge. Knowledge is power. And when we have those things, we have an obligation to share what we know in a helpful way. What good is having experience and knowledge and power and hoarding it away in secrecy? What good is hiding our talents and our expertise from the world and from those who could benefit from it? What good is living on this earth if we are not going help each other through the whole messy ride? What good is being a human if we aren’t being, well, human? Humankind. That is an interesting term, isn’t…

Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #101
On Saturday, I completed the Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse which guarantees that you will feel better in one week. From my experience, I think they have most definitely satisfied their guarantee. A few of the benefits that you can expect from this cleanse include improved focus and energy, enhanced mood and sleep quality, detox and healthy digestion, a jump start for weight loss and reduction in food cravings. I have never done a cleanse of any sort so this was a brand new experience for me and I really did not know what to expect. The diet for the week consisted of all fruits and vegetables, mostly raw, some…

Stay Hydrated with Copper H2O & Link Up On the Edge #121
A few weeks ago, I was introduced to the benefits of drinking water from a copper bottle by an amazing company, Copper H2O. The theory of “tamra jal”, which is based in Ayurvedic medicine, states that infusing the positive health properties of copper into our drinking water will balance the three doshas in your body (vata, kapha, and pitta). Eastern societies have been storing their drinking water in copper vessels for centuries because the copper will naturally alkalinize the water stored within it. Consuming natural alkaline water will help balance the pH of our bodies which leads to many different health benefits. After having a wonderful and very informative telephone…

Good Health is a Blessing…Are You Caring for Yours?
We women, especially those of us who blog, are constantly talking about bringing to light women’s topics that have previously been taboo. For example, I have openly discussed my issues with sex drive, menopause, and finding proper breast support in lingerie and loungewear. Many of us have discussed body image issues and being real and authentic and proud of all of our imperfections. Isn’t it time we also granted men this same opportunity? *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I have received no compensation in return for this publication. Hims is a company that is doing just that, opening the discussion around…

In Search of the Extraordinary & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #34
This post is going to be more than just about spreading the kindness. I am hoping to spread awareness, share information, and possibly even gain some knowledge. First, I have to provide you with a little bit of background information. *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I turned 43 years old this year. My husband is 36 and my children are 6 and 4. The most important people in my life are much younger than me. My father died at the age of 54. My mother at the age of 57. That is 11 and 14 years older than I am right now.…
