Motivation my husband wrote on our scale at home.It's Just a number…that's what I would silently tell myself every time I would step on the scale. Yet, no matter what, the higher the number it stopped at, the lower my self esteem would plummet. I won't pretend that it doesn't still happen to me, after all, no one is perfect.

How to Make a Healthy Soft Drink Alternative
Drink more water! Yes, it's important, but drinking enough plain water can be hard, especially if you are used to drinking soft drinks.
In an effort to help us drink more water, beverage companies are now offering so-called "healthy" water drinks that are really no different than other soft drinks. They sound so healthy, but when you read the ingredients, most of them are loaded with sugar, artificial colors and flavors, and preservatives.

Natural Healing vs. the Medical System
There are some fundamental differences between the modern medical system and alternative medicine. They are worlds apart in how they view the body.

Detox Your Life: The Power of the Mind [Part 3]
I woke up today with a slight headache, a symptom that took me back to the days when I suffered with the unending headache pain and insomnia that accompanied my illness, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. I thought, "Could I be getting sick again?"…. "Am I really out of the woods?", and tried not to let my mind wander down those deeply traveled neural networks of my brain.
We live in a very cool age, where technology in many ways makes our lives much easier. However in the world of food, there are many dangers to be aware of.

Gluten Free Thanksgiving Dressing
Looking for a gluten-free Thanksgiving dressing recipe? Look no further because this recipe has been handed down from my grandparents, to parents, and now to me. In other words, it's a keeper! It's a delicious combination of cubed bread mixed with onions, mushrooms, herbs, and pecans
Panera Bread advertises that they offer "fresh great-tasting food you can trust made from the highest quality ingredients and highlighted by anti-biotic-free chicken, whole grain bread, select organic and all natural ingredients." Sounds healthy, doesn't it? But is it really??

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It gives strength and elasticity to bread and baked goods. That means gluten is found in most breads, buns, rolls, pizza, cookies, crackers, cereal, cakes, bars, pies, pastas. . .you get the idea.
How to Have a Healthy Halloween
Healthy Halloween?? Is that even possible? The amount of sugary candy that kids are given nowadays….at school, church, birthday parties, holidays, etc….is simply staggering. Halloween is just around the corner….and as a health-minded parent, you may actually dread it, like I used to. What should you do?
Fajitas are a great meal to make if you are trying to find something that will please your health-minded friends as well as your unhealthy minded friends! They can be made with or without meat, and you can add whatever toppings you like.
Detox Your Life: I am…[Part 2]
Think about all the times you use those words…"I am".
I am tired, I am hungry, I am sick, I am frustrated, I am angry. We claim those feelings like we claim an identity. Your thoughts and words have power! I have started a habit of using those particular words wisely.

In one of the clips, you will see exactly how I use pressure points and essential oils to get rid of a headache in less than 5 minutes!
I have always loved my Vitamix. It is more than just a blender….I use it to grind up flax seeds, herbs, grains….pretty much anything. So, when I heard about the Nutri-Bullet being similar to a Vitamix, it peaked my curiosity because I am always on the lookout for solutions for my clients who cannot afford to invest in a Vitamix.
