I’ve been lucky enough to have some amazing friends over the past ten years. Some from school, some from college and others from travelling. But I think we can all agree it takes a lot of time and effort to make it last. It needs coffee dates, phone calls, nights out, sleepovers and long talks to make it special. Over the years I have tried to make an effort with my friendships because they are very important to me. But sometimes, it just doesn’t work out with a friend anymore.
Salads are the one of those foods that I absolutely love. Most of the time I eat salads as a meal itself. Salads are a great way to increase your intake of vegetables to nourish yourself with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. We need to be consuming a variety of 2-3 cups of vegetables a day. These two salad recipes are my absolute favorites that I make on a regular basis.
I’ve always been a curvy girl. I have embraced my curves over the years and am happy to have a D breast cup! But, up until two years ago, I wasn’t eating healthy for THREE reasons.
I have spent years struggling to control my acne prone skin, and when I discovered the healing powers of these two little miracles, I wanted to share it with as many eco freaks like me. First let me start off saying, I have tried
Today we have another great workout Vid from our lovely girls at Eco-ista’s. From their segment “Sweat It out Thursday’s!” ENJOY
Many years ago I attended an introduction class for Co-counseling or Re-evaluation counseling (peer counseling). One of the first exercises we did was to sit with a partner and trade time JUST listening while the other person talked about something that was troubling them for 5 minutes. It was incredibly difficult to just listen! What the teacher told us is that most of us have rarely, if ever been well listened to. We have an unconscious need for good listening and therefore have a hard time listening well to others.
Grateful.. It’s a word that describes my feelings perfectly. Obviously I don’t always feel it. After all, we all have our off days now and then, where we can get just angry at the world and everyone in it. But in general, for me, gratefulness is most always present. And I think it should be more present in the lives of others too.
Most of us know about watching what we put on the inside – but what about watching what we put on the outside? Whilst we might nourish our bodies with organic, natural food, it’s important to remember that beauty products have a part to play too.
Now, I’m no personal trainer, supermodel, or ripped athlete, but as a Naturopath, I’m constantly reminded about the importance of staying fit and I know that exercise is absolutely vital for good health. We all know this, yet excuses likes lack of time, energy, equipment and motivation can be given. Are these excuses valid? How important is your health?
Now that we are over 50 days removed from the beginning of the year, it's a great time to assess where you are in regards to your health and fitness resolutions. I hope that many of you have stuck to them. And commend you for doing so. But I also know that sometimes people set the bar way too high and unfortunately set themselves up for failure.
There is a saying that silence is golden, but have you ever imagined that silence can be healing, even deafening? Seems odd right? Well, in life, the quietness you experience is most often filled with several types of outside noise, always tickling your eardrums, which yearn and beg for peace. Living in a city or town, you can never truly escape the sounds that constantly fills your life. Yet, Mother Nature is ready to grant you this gift, which comes with so many wonderful perks for the body, mind and soul.
