April 3, 2020

Mother with children Having Fun in the field. Foces on eyes.

 

While I know it can be hard to be stuck at home (especially with summer approaching) and nowhere to go, nothing to do…it doesn’t have to be boring! Here are 15 ideas for you to spend the long hours you are cooped up…and make them not so long, WHILE also feeling productive!

  1. Cook – Make some of your favorite foods OR try out that NEW recipe you have been waiting for the right time to use.
  2. DIY Craft Projects – We all have them lying around somewhere…and it does make you feel really productive to get it accomplished, finally.
  3. Spring Cleaning/Organizing
  4. Read a Book – Take away some stress and cabin fever by losing yourself in a good story. There are so many good ones out there!
  5. Exercise – You know that excuse “I don’t have time”? Yeah, not really valid here.
  6. Diet – See above… 😉
  7. Learn an Instrument – Dust off that family piano! 😛
  8. Family Games
  9. Puzzles
  10. Coloring Books
  11. Plant a Garden – Springtime! New beginnings, beauty blossoms, moods boost. You can start your own! It is actually VERY satisfying to watch things grow. 🙂
  12. Go for a Walk (Get OUTSIDE!!!) – Vitamin D…good for your mood AND immune system. Win Win!
  13. Prayer  – This is a great time (when you have nothing but time) to lift up our nation and neighbors in prayer
  14. Epsom Salt Bath – You now have some time to relax. You can take advantage of that. Your body will thank you. It’s good for stress, muscles, and mood.
  15. Detox – While all canned food and boxed goods are hard to find, now is a good time to take advantage of all the fruits and veggies that are well stocked.

4 Simple Ingredients to Replace the Toxins in Your Home

Bucket With Sponges, Chemicals Bottles, Mopping Stick, Rubber Gl

Our cleaning products are some of the most toxic products we use on a daily basis. From bleach in the bathroom to the soap on our dishes. While we think we are making things cleaner for us and our loved ones and making our homes more pleasant to live in… we are actually making it worse.

Slowly harming ourselves, we are, hmm. 🙂

Here are FIVE natural products you can use to replace your old toxic cleaners:

Natural cleaning products: 

  • Baking Soda – It’s gentle, but it works great for picking up dirt and grim. Great for tubs, appliances, sinks, plastic and even teeth! It also can help get rid of smells because of it’s ability to neutralize odors instead of just masking them.
  • Vinegar – The acidity in vinegar makes it very effective for counteracting lots of icky buildup (soap scum in the bathtub is one of my favorites). Though it is effective, vinegar can have too strong of a smell for many people, which brings me two the next two products! 🙂
  • Orange oil – Can be a great help against stubborn grease stains, and it smells really good while it’s working, too. ;P
  • Lemon oil – Eliminates odors and gives off an invigorating fragrance. Cutting up some lemons and running them through the garbage disposal can make your sink smell pretty nice. 🙂

 

Cleaning is not always fun. How many of us can say we wake up every day super excited for a day of cleaning? No one? Thought so.

But having the better products, for your house and body, CAN actually make it a bit more enjoyable. So gather your products and go… have fun cleaning! 😀

Detoxing. What is it? Why is it Important?

Hand Writing Detox Your Body

 

Most of us don’t connect what we eat to how we feel.

Do you experience constipation, bloating, fatigue, low energy? Have these symptoms become part of your daily life? These could all be signs that your body is loaded with toxins and it is telling you it is in desperate need of a detox.

Detoxing is a way of cleaning the blood of all the toxins that fill it up over time.

A detox can help in many ways. A few ways are by:

  • Stimulating the liver to drive toxins from the body
  • Improving circulation of the blood
  • Promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys and skin
  • Refueling the body with healthy nutrients

Detox is not a one size fits all kind of thing. I have several recommendations and how to discover what works best for YOUR body. Watch for more specific details about how I help my clients detox in my practice.
