I have suffered from bowel issues my whole life and I had a bout with colon cancer. For years I struggled with wondering why on earth I seemed to have such issues... frequent stomach aches, constipation, sensitivity to certain foods. etc. I hated the idea of eating out anywhere or eating in social situations because I never knew how my stomach and bowels would react and anyone with these issues knows how embarrassing it can be. It was about three years ago now that I came across the miracle … [Read more...]
What to Drink Instead of Soda
Soda is one those hot button topics for many. Health minded parents think of it as thorn in their side...something always there to tempt kids into drinking tons of sugar.

Creating a Relaxing, Healthy Spa Experience at Home
I was playing around with my Polyvore account tonight and decided I wanted to go upstairs after a grueling day and relax in the tub.

Alas it is not to be with kids under foot but I can plan for when hubby is home and I can make my escape for an hour uninterrupted right? I think so. I clipped these items with Polyvore and made a quick collage. Soi Candle - Rosemary Lavender - A totally yummy, eco … [Read more...]
