The Understatement, I'm Flawed



How many times have I flipped through a magazine, or scrolled through Pinterest, and stopped midway because I came across a face that was simply beautiful.  I often think that just maybe, the days of perfection are going out the window.  Perhaps, we are finally starting to accept beauty and all of it's flaws that go along with it.  The shape, freckles, glasses, braces, gap teeth, too skinny, too fat, too tall, too short, big butt, flat butt, too dark and pale, straight and curly hair, thick and fine hair.

And the list goes on.....

I'm amazed more often than not, because I'm constantly reading and reviewing articles and websites that focus on what's going on in our world today.  The truth is, no "I didn't wake up like this, perfect, and I don't live a life of perfection."  Even the stars are starting to voice their flaws, and parent's are calling out their own downfalls.  I'm loving it, because it just helps us all be more present.

I love a good testimony.  Just confirms that I'm not the only one going through it.  I could try harder in many areas of my life, and I've missed the beat a few times because I procrastinated, failed to keep a positive attitude, forgot to show my appreciation, fell into a rut, got too anxious, too angry, too caught up in the moment, forgot to be present, forgot to pray.

And life goes on.....

Introducing the Kiwi

So, the kiwi originated in China, but is now grown in the US, in addition to a few select countries.  Here in America, the kiwi is pretty easy to find, and also reasonable in price.  Believe it or not, this sweet fruit is jammed pack with vitamin C - even more than that of an orange!  Also contains vitamin E, low in fat, and no cholesterol The two main claims floating around about the kiwi: 1. It's a natural energy booster! 2. It can effectively reduce asthma symptoms, and respiratory problems in general. It reduces heart problems and increases lung function. It has been suggested that a child suffering with asthma conditions can eat one to five kiwis weekly to reduce symptoms. I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack.  But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level.  Okay, that's a little extreme!  But seriously,  it's a fruit to consider trying, and if possible,  introducing into your daily die

Oil Pulling- A Simple Detox

So before you begin reading this, let me say that I am prepared to hear words of doubt, confusion, and just plain ol' 'are you crazy?!' concerns.  I know this because I have been sharing this simple practice with a few friends, and they all looked at me with the side eye, as if this is something I learned from of a cult.  But seriously, this is an opportunity to hear results before you jump on the bandwagon.  Simply put, oil pulling is a form of detoxing and cleansing the body.  It is so easy, and close to free-  so right up my alley when it comes to time and cost.  Also, please note that this method of detoxing has been performed by many for ages, and has been identified as a best practice for healing the body.    Choose the oil of your choice.  I prefer coconut oil, but other oils work just as well; sunflower, safflower.   Throw a spoonful of oil in your mouth, (don't swallow), swish around for about 15 - 20 minutes.  You can do this daily,
