[H1N1] protect yourself naturally!

I am not a doctor. I am quite sure though that if I took the flu shot, I'd probably have long lasting effects of it. For me personally this flu season I prefer to rely on healthy positive thoughts, my "flute shot", and probiotics. I've met quite a few people who got the shot and didn't fare well.

Garlic has a beautiful chemical profile. It is such a dynamic food. Healthy positive thoughts are good for any ailing soul. Probiotics need I say more. Here is my video for making a "flute shot".

[Zoya and Mineral Fusion] Reviews

I'm slowly trying to overhaul my make-up selection. Transition to natural, chemical-free products. I'm starting with the stinkiest of them all: NAIL POLISH! I've only tried to brands thus far. But, I am pleasantly surprised by both. I will offer my thoughts on Zoya and Mineral fusion.

 I felt like Zoya was more expensive and the quality paid for itself. Zoya stayed on for a very long time. It reminds me of OPI alot. Just that its not packed full of chemicals. I found Zoya at one of our local Nugget Markets.

Zoya Nail Polish is a nail polish free of toluene, formaldehyde, DBP (phthalates) and camphor. Zoya Nail Polish was specifically formulated to deliver the longest wear possible on natural nails. ." From Zoya.com

Next up[ Mineral Fusion]

Mineral Fusion doesn't speak of their nail polish on their website. These were 2 for $10 at Whole Foods. Makes me wonder if their days are numbered. Well, for the time being. I like them. Their vegan and don't stink a whole lot. They seem to stay on pretty well. All in all. I am so happy that I picked these up. It feels great changing up the stinky things! :)

Sleep Sweetly :)

Nothing beats a great night sleep...If you want to be healthy too, you must get rest. But, your rest must be complete. Sometimes getting to sleep can be a problem. I have found the following to be very very helpful.

1. A sleep mask
2. Pure lavender oil dabbed on my wrists and temples
3. 3-5 mg of Melatonin
4. Standardized Valerian root
5. California Poppy Seed Extract

Cleanse AM

Hollywood loves cleanses, why? Hello! Because a great side-effect of cleansing is you lose weight. If you do it right. Now, the cleanse that I am currently using is truly in my opinion, the BEST on the market. But, you have to be smart. The whole purpose of a cleanse is to rid your body of toxins, so if your shoving doughnuts, beer, red meat, sugar down your throat. Good luck honey, because the cleanse isn't really going to work.

Cleanse Rules for me

Take AM pill with pure 8 ounce glass of water

Drink warm organic lemon water

30 mins later eat breakfast

before beginning any program consult a healthcare professional first. I am by no means a doctor. I am simply chronicling my journey and my healthy ways to live. good health to you.

The Journey Again

So, I recently received a cortisone injection in my knee. Sadly, predictably, and unfortunately for me, it did not work. Instead, it's left me with a myriad of different symptoms. Symptoms that I refuse to live with. I will tell you how I was able to reduce many of the reactions in a post called cortisone injections. After all the cortisone aftermath, as well as a different medications I knew my body needed a major cleanse. So I will chronicle the journey and steps of a proper cleanse. I am going to use the Renew Life Cleanse Smart.
