💥Check out this adorable townhome for sale in Byron, Mn. 💥
I have loved this home for over 6 years. The neighbors are the best, it has great kitchen features (my favorite room in the house), a nice backyard, updated bathrooms, attached garage with additional storage and a basement that can be finished or just used as a personal gym (which I did).

Anyone check out the app?

Make the right choices!
I have been using this app on my phone for a while and I wanted to share it. Basically, you scan food and cosmetics and it rates how good it is for you. The ratings are dependent on many things - nutritional value (calories, fat, protein, etc.), as well as the amount of additives, sugar, and sodium. I find it super helpful myself. Things that I thought were healthy are just packed with additives.

So.... let's talk about being aware and intentional about what we put in and on our body. The least we can do is give our body the best chance to be healthy and feel good!

I love this app! The name of the app is Yuka and here is the link.

Farmer's Market
My favorite place to buy fresh, nourishing foods is at our local farmer's market. People often think this is going to be more expensive than running to the grocery store. Not these days! Almost every day, I hear somebody complaining about the price increases of groceries. Yes, it still affects your local farmer's to a point, but not anywhere near the same. At the farmer's market, the increases are not going to be as aggressive. PLUS, the quality and flavor is so much better! It makes shopping for your food fun. These farmers love to talk about their produce, meats, and baked goods. How to prepare them, and how they were grown. This connection with where our food comes from can make a big impact on our mindset. Stay to enjoy the live music. Eat from the food trucks, buy a coffee or fresh lemonade.

Herbs are a great support for keeping your liver functioning optimally. They promote cleansing, stimulate bile production, and have a protective effect that helps shield your liver from damage.

Milk Thistle The easiest way to take milk thistle is as an extract or by using the seeds to make a tea.

Dandelion Root tea is a bitter, yet very effective remedy for the liver. You can also try dandelion extract as a quicker remedy.

Turmeric extract or turmeric tablets for the most effect.

Burdock Root Use dried burdock root to make a detox tea or try burdock extract.

Yellow Dock You can buy yellow dock root to make a liver-supportive tea or tincture, and it's also easy to find in the wild (just be sure of your identification before harvesting).

Green Tea Enjoy green tea daily for the most impact, or try matcha powder, which is a more concentrated form of green tea.

Garlic Raw garlic seems to be particularly powerful for the liver. You can also try an aged garlic supplement or garlic extract.

Red Clover The easiest way to take this herb is by using dried red clover to make a tea.

Ginger You can use fresh ginger root to make tea, take the powdered root in capsules, or try it with other herbs like in this Detox Herbal Tea.

Ginseng For the most concentrated effect, try ginseng extract or ginseng capsules.

I have been reading the exhausted book by Nick Polizzi and Pedram Shojai. It reminds me of how we work ourselves so hard, with little relief to our wellbeing.

Meet Ashley Andrist CMT/LE

After graduating from Century High School in Rochester, Ashley Andrist studied Massage Therapy at the Minnesota School of Business and received her Diploma in 2009.

Ashley does many types of massage and specializes in hot stone massage. In this type of massage, hot stones are used to heat up and manipulate the muscles to allow the therapist to give deeper pressure without hurting the muscles. The heated stones are extremely relaxing, and the warmth permeates throughout the entire body.

In 2017, Ashley wanted to advance her career by earning her esthetician license. She attended the Rochester Nova Academy. With her years of experience as a massage therapist, she shows great talent when applying her modalities to ensure facials are everything her clients are looking for emphasizing health and relaxation. Ashley alsodoes full body waxing and enjoys helping women feel beautiful with eyelash extensions.
