Shopping for safe supplements that actually work can get confusing! I get asked about specific products a lot. Or "what do you use"? Here is a list of what I use, and how to get them.

This is a good list. My favorite is silicones. People argue they are safe because they just "sit" on top of the skin and hair, which they do - so well in fact, that they are difficult to wash off, and then how long do they sit in my groundwater?

Many consumers are drawn to “natural” products, assuming that they are safer and healthier than their conventional counterparts. However, just because a product is marketed as “natural” doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s entirely safe or free of harmful ingredients. In fact, some common ...

Here's the kicker: FALSE "odorants" (not essential oils) did not improve the volunteers' memory, verbal learning, planning, and attention-switching skills.

"The olfactory sense has the special privilege of being directly connected to the brain's memory circuits," says neurobiologist Michael Yassa.

Yassa and his colleagues provided 20 of the study's recruits with an assortment of natural oils containing fragrances of rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender.

The rest of the group were provided with a 'sham' that contained trace amounts of an odorant. All of the participants were required to use one of the oils with a diffuser to perfume their home for two hours every night over a six-month period, rotating through their menu of fragrances.

A battery of neuropsychological tests was then used to compare the volunteers' memory, verbal learning, planning, and attention-switching skills before and after the six-month trial.

Astonishingly, there was a clear 226 percent difference between the responses provided by those who were exposed to a variety of fragrances and individuals in the control group.

Of all the senses we love to indulge, scent is often neglected – but the right smells could be just what your brain needs to keep it whirring in old age. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine recently uncovered strong evidence that enriching the air with fragrances improves cognitive...

80/20 Eating. It's a top key for overall health. It's simple:
80% Alkaline Foods (veggies)
20% Acid Causing Foods (Meats/Proteins)
Fruits are free, and for snacking.
When I say Alkaline or Acid - I mean: The effect of that food, after digestion , on your body's blood pH. Your blood's pH will either offer the perfect environment for issues or it will act as a stronghold against them. This alone is where we start with health.

If you're confused as to which foods are more acidic or more alkaline to your body's pH, you can always ask Google! There isn't a whole lot of controversy or argument and what foods do what so your search results are all going to be similar.

The image below is quoting Ophelia, in Shakespeare's Hamlet. She is so overcome by grief over her father's death, that she goes mad. And in her madness, she is giving away flowers for specific reasons. Rue is the only flower she keeps for herself. For her overriding grief. 💔 🌿Rue (Ruta) is historically used for: regret, sorrow (grief), repentance; grace, clear vision; disdain.
Many living with regret & sorrow have a hard time sleeping. Rue is great for helping ease the body through these emotions so that peaceful sleep can be found. Lavender & Valerian are classic sleep/relaxation aids.
Ruta gives us grace for ourselves, no blame. Clear vision is for looking back on the lesson learned so that we can move forward. And disdain is what we'll become if we don't process the previous negative emotions of regret & sorrow.
Rue is a blessed oil for loss, grief, regret. These people don't sleep. But they can...with self grace & loving kindness. Share it if you need to, use it when you need to. Just get some. ♥️

Dear My Sons: Fear not the criticisms of society in owning the full power of your beautiful masculinity. Dear My Future Daughters: Let that power be a banner of love over you, providing safety for you, and not to be seen as a restriction, but as a God-given force of equal protection, and encouragement.

Funny thing, Intuitive work... Doing readings, sometimes "help" comes through that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Last week, I went to balance her head centers and all I could "see" was Lapis Lazuli next to her head. I know *some* stones, but I couldn't tell you what this one even does. ? It doesn't matter, I relay the information that I prayed for, and it ended up meaning something to HER. This is why ego has no place in healing. Because if it's about "me" then I'll never "see her". It's simply asking for wisdom coupled with a no-ego. I hope she buys it in a pretty necklace :)
