Layer 3. Still not completed.

After layer 2 (pic 2) I had to change the shape of the water, add depth to the clouds in the distance, blue layer to the sky, highlights, details but need to wait for this paint to dry (which is why I don’t have patience for oils;)

There’s an ugly layer 1 underneath using up previous artwork’s leftover paint, couldn’t find a picture of it though.

Why do I layer paintings? So I can create depth, texture, and complex colors by building up multiple applications of paint.

Work in progress. Aren’t we all?

On this episode of ‘What’s in your medicine cabinet?’ Choose this instead.

Choose ReNue - NOT ZzzQuil for a centered calm if you’re suffering with short-term sleeping difficulties or insomnia.

Sleep medications are intended for short-term use of no more than 14 days. Long-term use can lead to decreased effectiveness due to tolerance, increased side effects like grogginess and dry mouth, and potential rebound insomnia. Alcohol should not be mixed either.

Unexpected twists in daily life and chronic stress often leave us feeling depleted both physically, emotionally and mentally. SolleReNue® contains powerful herbs and adaptogens that can help us nutritionally calm, restore and re-center ourselves. This blend’s restorative properties are particularly wonderful for times of emotional distress, sickness or elevated stress.

It has forever been replaced in our household for sure. Follow along for more episodes of ‘What’s in your medicine cabinet?’

I’m doing a 2 for 1 post on my favorite PRE & PROBIOTICS. Minify & ProBio IQ.

Products in the Clarify category are specifically formulated to promote increased mental sharpness, improved focus and clear system pathways for a sense of elevated vitality. I suggest both these supplements for clearer digestive comfort and gut health.

💛 Minify’s adaptogenic formula, conveniently encapsulated for on-the-go use, contains carefully selected prebiotic fibers and digestive herbs that support comfortable digestion after every meal and help build a thriving microbiome over time to ‘minify’ any negative health effects of inflammatory fats, added sugars and processed or artificial ingredients in our meals. Take 2 or more capsules 20 minutes prior to major meals throughout the day.

💛 ProBio IQ® is formulated with specific strains studied for their concurrent body and mind benefits, in addition to long-proven GI tract and immune system activity. These probiotic strains are also combined with a prebiotic and our clarifying herb blend, which includes adaptogens and other herbs that promote mental focus, making ProBio IQ much more than your drugstore probiotic. Each capsule contains a proprietary probiotic blend of 6 billion CFU.

On this episode of ‘What’s in your medicine cabinet?’ Choose this instead.

Choose Solle Flex PI - NOT Ibuprofen for relieving minor aches and pains & inflammation support.

An Ibuprofen addiction can put you at risk for serious health conditions, including heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and liver damage.

Having the ability to move freely, whether it’s to run marathons or chase a two-year-old, is a feeling of empowerment that everyone deserves to feel, regardless of age or athletic prowess.

Our unique formula combines powerful herbs like turmeric and Chinese skullcap to help the body naturally defend itself against everyday discomforts and inflammatory conditions that hold you back.

Adaptogens may help manage chronic illnesses by helping the body adapt to stress. They work by interacting with the body’s stress response system (the HPA axis), potentially lowering the damaging effects of chronic stress.

It is crucial to consult a doctor before using adaptogens, especially if you have a chronic illness or are taking other medications.

List of common chronic illnesses: Heart disease, Diabetes, Kidney disease, Asthma, Allergies, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple sclerosis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Obesity, High blood pressure, High cholesterol, Osteoporosis

Note: This list is not comprehensive and there are many other illnesses that exist.

Another favorite supplement of mine is a CALMING ENZYME BLEND called, Verdezymes®.

Agitated and uncomfortable stomach after mealtime has become an all too common side effect of our modern diet and lifestyle. Verdezymes® combines full-spectrum, plant-sourced enzymes with key digestive herbs to help optimize digestion, soothe the GI tract, AND can even calm the mind for better rest!

Take a look at what she can do for your beautiful body & mind:

🩵Mental Calm - herbs such as peppermint & passion flower

🩵Recovery - protein digestive enzymes fuel the body’s efforts in repairing while resting/sleeping

🩵Digestion/Bloating - soothe irritated stomach and GI tract & improve digestive health

🩵Circulation & Immunity support

By the way.. what are enzymes?
They are proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions, like breaking down food into nutrients that our bodies can absorb so we get the essential vitamins, minerals & other nutrients needed for optimal health. Without these enzymes, digestion would be significantly slower and less efficient, leading to discomfort and potential nutritional deficiencies.

As you age, your body naturally produces fewer enzymes. Stress can also inhibit enzyme production and disrupt digestion. Certain medications can interfere with enzyme function as well.

Ingredients other than the proprietary 4 enzyme blend include; wood betony, peppermint, marshmallow & passion flower

As someone who has always had an extra sensitive stomach, these have been a life saver for me. My husband uses these for heartburn as well and within 10 mins, these tiny, ALL NATURAL pills work their magic for both of us. I never go anywhere without these in my purse.

If you’re interested in hearing more about when I use this supplement & how it has impacted my life, 👍 this post and send me a DM. Ask away! I’m an open book 🩵

Yup, super dehydrated.. when I look at my face and hands first thing in the morning & any wrinkles look extra DEEP, I need to hydrate.

I love this skincare brand for their under-eye masks (I haven’t tried other products by them so don’t take my word for their whole line;) there are a few different options… revitalizing, firming, energizing, they definitely help!

Comment HYDRATE in the comments and I’ll send you my electrolyte drink recipe packed with, you guessed it, ADAPTOGENS. It’s a natural booster/balancer of all things energy, electrolytes, digestion, adrenal & thyroid.

Another favorite supplement of mine is packed with PLANT SOURCED essential fatty acids, which are crucial to maintaining optimal mental & physical health, SolleMegas.

I have a whole list of vitamins I take post-menopause that I will share with you at a later date. My nutritional requirements have shifted in the last few years & for me, it’s more important than ever to focus on the key nutrients that support bone health, brain function, gut health & overall inflammation.

This wonderful supplement is made from Sea Buckthorn (which provides the Omega 3, 6, 7 & 9), chia, sunflower lecithin, black currant, flax seed, perilla seed & Irish moss & she helps with:

1.brain function & cognitive abilities
2.inflammation response & joint health
