Hi Lovely’s!!!

Before I go into any more pleasantries, I want to send out a huge off tune jig to this crazy~sexy man!

Happy Birthday to You,

Happy Birthday to You,

Happy Birthday to my most Amazing, Handsome, Crazy, Loving, Sexy, Caring, Hot, Smart, Inventive, Ingenious, Big Dreamin’, Always there for me, Best Friend & Hubby!

Happy Birthday to you!

O.K. now that I got that out there…… ;)

How was your week, Crazy, Busy? Did you get it all done? Mine has been ………. strained…… I feel as though I’m at the edge of something big…….. not sure what’s about to go down yet tho (stay tuned ;) )

Anyways, here are your weekend reading’s. Grab your cup of joe or mug of tea, your glass of wine or fresh pressed juice & enjoy!

I found this article amazing. My family loves Jars. We collect them for nearly everything. In fact, here is a shot of our cup~boards.

Rice, Quinoa, BuckWheat…..

Spices, Teas, Dried Herbs…..

Nuts, Seeds, Flax, Hemp, etc…..

See~ Jars!!! This post will help you find ways to use up all these beauties!

Do you have allergies? Duh, who doesn’t right!!! Check our GreenMedInfo & their allergy article. Tons of info (as always!)

Are you throwing out any of these potential food~plants? Did you know you can re~grow food? Check out this cool article & find out these simple tips to re~use your compost to have ‘free food’!

I’m the first to  admit that I’m not in the ‘know’ for any kind of make~up or up to date fashion stuff. But the gorgeous Gillian is! Check out her article about safe skin~care. I’m not taking about safe cover girl crap or stuff like that, this safe stuff is the real deal. This is part 2, so search around her amazing site for part 1!

When is the last time you really took a good hard look at yourself? It’s something that needs to be done every once in a while. Maybe take this weekend & do just that. Take a day or 1/2 a day or the entire weekend if you can. Take a look at yourself! Learn, Plan & Grow! (we can even do it together if you want, contact me for any questions or support!) :)

Ok. This is one of my fav. Books EVER! I’ve read it a dozen times, have half the book underlined & have quoted Dr.Fuhrman a zillion times on Facebook & Twitter. If you don’t have this book. GO. BUY. IT. NOW!!!!! (it’s not #1 on the NYTimes list for nothing!)

One Green Planet has a new updated version of the Clean 15 & the Dirty 12! Check it out! & Wake~Up World has a super cool post on how to get yourself some clean safe water (hint, 2 steps, it’s easy & cheap!)

Also, I’m doing a 30 Gratitude Challenge, & I’m Challenging you to join me :) I have a post about it here, as well as the direct link here! Join me, let’s show the people in our lives how truly grateful we are to have them!

What are you up to this weekend? How did you like this week’s reads?

You are all so wonderful! Keeping with me for yet another loooooooong week! Have you gotten many productive things done? Me~ well…..

Let’s just skip that question, grab our usual (mug of tea or coffee or a nice big glass of Vino ~depending on your time zone!) & get to reading what I think is fabulous this week!

(I’m having a smoothie because I just kicked a 16k run ~in preparation for my 1/2 Marathon next week~eeekkkk!!!)

anyways….

I was pondering putting this first post up. It talks about having a plan when you want to start getting healthy. It makes total 100% sense! But then again, that’s why I’m here :) I’m your go~to girl for the Health Plan! But, I decided to put it up here because I’m first & foremost here to help. If this helps, then I’ve done my job, if you need or want more help, then I’m here for you too!

I know I’ve put up posts like this before, but being present is such an important tool that we all need to have become a habit. I can’t stop reading these posts, I can’t stop sharing them. Enjoy!

This is the time of year when we are all working our butts of to have sexy abs, behinds, arms. We get haircuts, & shorts. But what about our skin? Get it ready for summer here!

I sadly know too many people who have decided that Divorce is the path they need to take. I’m not here to judge, but I’ll admit that it makes me very very sad. If you are in this situation, maybe this article will help.

Liz has a great post about living with Grace. It reminds me of the fabulous Louise Hay & Cheryl Richardson!

Sarah has amazing recipes on her site all the time. But this Chocolate caught my eye. I still haven’t tried it, but I will. & when I do, I will eat them all!

As I’m still kinda ‘training’ for my 1/2 next week, this article about recovery is pretty interesting!

What have you read this week that you think needs sharing? I’m off to do more work on my day off, but it’s good work! Fun work! Work I love!

Have a great weekend, & Happy Fathers Day to all you Dad’s out there reading this too!

Happy June everyone!!!! Hi all you gorgeous followers! How has your week been going? For some of you it’s been a short week right? Well, short, long, easy or tough, let’s get a mug of tea (I’m drinking “Harney & Sons Tropical Green ~ green tea with pineapple flavor~ yum), a cup of coffee, a fresh pressed juice or a glass of wine (depending on the time zone), snuggle up & get to reading what I think is wonderful out there right now!

Conscious Diva’s has a cute 21 rules to live by post. I love the one about not judging. I have to admit that I’m too guilty of that one. I really need to practice!

Kris Carr’s site has some wonderful tips on how to try eating Raw. Easy, Simple, Slow & Steady. Check it out here to see just how to go about trying! It’s for your health & I’m pretty sure you won’t regret it :) She also has a Wicked post about your thoughts & how you are probably projecting some nasty stuff out into the world.

OhSheGlows is one of my Go~To sites for Recipe Inspiration. The month of June she is having a Salad Challenge. I’m all over that Healthy mess, are you? Go check it out & let’s share favorites!!

Have you ever made you’re own Sauerkraut? My hubby has (as I’m a little scaredy~cat when it comes to things like that). The Detoxinista has a great & easy recipe here if you want to give it a try. There are a million benefits to eating fermented foods, try to add it into your routine!

While I don’t think everyone is Celiac, I do think that the Grains of today are EVIL. That being said, I really want everyone to take care in the types of grains that you buy & feed yourselves & family. Quinoa, Brown Rice (sprouted of course) & many ancient grains should be fine when used moderately. But the grains of today (yes, whole grains even) should not be ingested because they just can’t be tolerated properly in our bodies. Wellness Warrior Jess tells you more here.

Stress is such a daily thing for people now. If you can’t get out to meditate at least do your best to give your body what it needs to help fight or repair from this monster. WakeUp World has a post on that here.

I have a bone to pick with “Healthy” Brands toting Unhealthy foods to unsuspecting people who are just trying to do good. Here is an article about ‘energy bars‘ AKA ‘fancy’ granola bars, which do you buy thinking they’re good for you?

Posture is very important to a healthy spine, heart, head, and so much more. Here, GreenMedInfo has a tip on improving your posture! (practice practice practice!!)

And last but not least, here is my post again on doing my first ever 10k! It’s been nearly a week since then, & I’m feeling really great. Proud that I finished & excited to get this 1/2 Marathon done too! (say, have you taken a moment to donate to the Charity I’m running for? It’s David Suzuki you know & every little bit helps!!)
