My 3-Day Juice Cleanse Experience

  A few weeks ago, a friend of mine did a 3-day juice cleanse. She lost 7 lbs., felt amazing and loved the process. So I thought it would be a fun idea to try my own 3 day juice cleanse the week before my momcation. Honestly, I have been having a hard time bouncing back from the extra pounds that came with the holidays. I secretly hoped this would be just the thing to get me back on track and shed a couple of pounds while gaining...

Conscious Food Cravings

Ever wonder what your food cravings really mean? And why, when finally getting what we are craving, do we eat way too much of it and still want more? Usually, having a food craving is your brains way of signaling to you that it is lacking a certain nutrient. Food Cravings can also be activated by our environment and emotions. Research has shown that social situations (party food), visual cues, feelings and smells can all create food...

The Natural Dentist Cavity Zapper Toothpaste Review

Believe it or not, toothpaste can be a tricky thing for kids. Toothpaste can cause behavioral problems in kids, rashes or be just plain nasty tasting. I had a first-hand experience with a friend’s child who once they switched off toothpaste with SLS, artificial colors and ingredients in it, the child’s bad attitude and disruptive behavior stopped within 2 weeks. So I know how important these product decisions can be. I have always...
