My Morning Cocktail

The breakfast of champions!! 

Coffee and pills for days... 

I take about 100 pills each day. Each one plays a part in keeping me healthy and supporting my immune system, so I can stay as healthy as possible. 

Breathe out Love! Xo ❤  

Flu and Cold Season...

Bring it on....

I'm as ready as I can get!

Elbows!!!! Its elbow time not to be confused with Hammer time ;) So when you go to hug or shake someone's hands try giving them Bows!!! Especially if you are feeling under the weather!

I stocked up on Purell... I have it in my handbag, coat pocket, car, and throughout my house.

Got my Flu shot! (remember your flu shot takes 2 weeks to start working so think about getting it soon)

Some Things that I do to help keep me healthy that I swear by...

1. Frequent hand-washing, when you can't wash Purell!!

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face. If I have a itch I will use the inside of my shirt to itch it or a tissue.

3. Gargle with warm salt water.... I always gargle at the end of every night. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with warm salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

4. A daily sinus rinse... Again I always do mine before I start my nightly treatments. I use a packet per nostril! Similar to 3 above, salt water is very effective In bringing down viral population.

5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vit C and D or take a vit C and D supplement. I take many vitamins I think its very important to keep up on all your vitamin levels so you can stay healthy.

6. Drink as much warm liquids as you can. This is a pretty easy step I love my Starbucks!!! Some yummy examples and some of my favs are coffee, hot choc, tea, or a hot chai. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive.

I'd love to hear more tips if you guys have any. 

Stay healthy this winter and please if you're sick stay home!!! I can guarantee you no  one wants your boogs! Xo 

Can't Stomach it

When I was 15 I had to gain some major weight my mom made a deal with me that if I gained 10 lbs by my next appt, she would let me get my belly button pierced. Well I can't even tell you how many cans of ensure I drank in that month. I upped my enzymes and took them with every can. I split them up and took some before, during and after each can. To this day I still have my belly button pierced. But that month ruined me for any type of meal replacement drinks on the market, they all make me gag a bit. 

I am so ruined that if a dessert tastes a bit like the choc, vanilla, or strawberry drinks I can't eat it. Just recently however I can get a USANA Nutrimeal down... I drank the chocolate, it is a powder and I only added water and it wasn't bad considering I don't like chocolate. It tasted like a Wendy's frosty. I can only imagine what it would taste like if I doctered it up a bit.
