Mental Detox









According to an article by Svastha Ayurveda, http://svasthaayurveda.com/how-to-perform-a-mental-detox/ "mental toxins can be even more detrimental than physical toxins, as 99% of all diseases stems from a mental origin."  Wow!!! 


With that being said, isn't it time to get our mental state in check?  Well here's what I've discovered;  treating myself sometimes, always makes creates a better me.  Please know, I am also guilty of ignoring my own needs, work in progress.  But I'll get their one day  



Let's tackle this task.  To calm my mood and pour into my mental health, I remove myself from everyone, including children and friends.  It's hard, I know!  I was recently forced into implementing this practice, and also staying present in that moment, (ignore calls, e-mails, busy thoughts of what you could be doing, and where you could be instead).  It felt so good,  refreshing.  I felt revived and uplifted. 


Can we all agree that when we take time out for ourselves, that we are better prepared to take on the world?  That refreshed feeling is ideal, and ultimately necessary, when you have random lists and projects thrown your way.  So save yourself, and prep for a mental health detox now.  There are so many options available to you fit the detox your liking; detox for a day, 10-day detox, 30 day detox, or whatever your heart desires!


If you're going with a 1-day detox, add it to your calendar at least twice a month so that you can ensure that it takes place.  Pulling out my calendar now......

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html

Me, Myself, and I

Life can be so fast paced, non-stop at times. There are days when I say, 'I'd like to get off this ride and take a break!'  And I will slow down if at all possible, meaning saying no to someone, I can't help, I can't go.  Sometimes it's just necessary for me to check in with myself and realize when too much is too much.  Just two weeks ago, I was laid out on a beach, on an island, alone. No children, no husband, not even a girlfriend.  Just me, my music, and a good book.  It's rare that I get time alone, but I believe it's highly necessary.  I've gotten a few raised eyebrows because I have taken several trips without my children, a few outside of the country.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  I'm certainly not a perfect mother, but I know that quality time is important in my household, along with family fun, activities, and traveling.  Although challenging, stealing alone time really needs to be made a priority.  This time can attribute t...

Savvy Wash

Dishes and laundry are two household tasks that we all know well.  These are chores we picked up on way back in our teen years, if not younger.  You have probably got them down to a science, but how about I give you a few interesting facts and tips that can save time, energy, money, and protect  the environment.  Read on! We have an understanding that using the dishwasher is greener than washing by hand. This is true in most cases, and even more so if you have an energy-efficient dishwasher.  Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind to be even greener and cut costs on your water and electricity bills. Reduce your water consumption: Avoid pre-rinsing and only run full loads.  If you are neat freak and just hate to go to bed with a disorderly kitchen, throw the dishes in the dishwasher and run it once full. Try using the cold-water setting if this is an option on your dishwasher. Also let the dishes air dry, versus using the heat dry option.  The h...
