Kickstart Your 2014 Resolutions: A How To

Posted on by

Hey, are you a habitual New Years Resolution maker, then later, breaker? Have your good intentions not always led to good results? Well here’s a tip to get a fresh start on your goals for the new year. The #1 key is, remove the excuse. So how do we do this? Well this year you’re gonna do something different. You’re gonna break down how you can work toward your goal/s no matter how big or small on a daily basis. So if your goal is to earn more income by the end of 2014, what can you do daily? Read more? Become more proficient in your work and time? Or do you want to lose weight? Perhaps daily you can start by refining what you eat for breakfast, then move up from there. Either way, break down your daily to do’s that will aid you.

Now, you must act immediately, but the key is, whatever it is.. Start Today. Yes, today! As of December 27, 2013, you have 4 days to start lasting change in your life. When you remove the excuse of tomorrow, you are more likely to see your goal through and it symbolizes your commitment. If you aren’t mentally strong, you’ll say, i’ll wait until January 1. This same voice that always tell you tomorrow, will creep back into your life again next year. Now is all we have so Kickstart your resolution and start today, you’ll feel great, trust me. It works!!

Goals i’ve kickstarted, and some continual: my goddesshood and femininity flow freely,  financially freedom, gorgeous glowing skin, and travel just to name a few. All are active goals that I work on daily and already see the manifestations of everyday.

 

Do you have any “resolutions”? How will you be improving your life in this new year? I’d love to hear about your sure to come achievements ❤

Glowing Winter Skincare Regimen

Posted on by

In the next few days I will be posting more tips on how to keep your skin supple and glowy (yep made that word up haha) even throughout the winter if you live in seasonal regions. Here’s tip 1:

Steam Your Face! Steaming the face does a lot for your skin. Benefits that I have noticed include putting moisture back into my skin, cleanses my pores, and allows my skin to fully receive the nourishment after cleansing including all natural healing oil and aloe vera gel that I use afterwards. Moisture for your skin is extremely important, especially in months where there is less humidity in the air and the air is extremely dry. If you don’t do this already, give it a try at least 3 times a week and see if you notice a difference.

More tips to come! Have a great day! 🙂

SN: You dont have to have a face steamer to complete this process. You can simply boil water on the stove then remove the pot from the stove, place a towel over your head trapping in the moisture and let the steam do the work. At least 15 minutes or as you feel needed.

Winner Food Wednesday: OMG Kale!

Posted on by

Got Kale?? Who doesn’t love kale?! If you shouted in your head “Me!” or even mumbled quietly to yourself, “…What is kale?” I hope to make you a believer in kale by the end of this post. Here are a few benefits:

1. Look no further, are you lactose intolerant?? Well kale has got you covered. Kale boastfully has more calcium than milk (calorically based)

2. Apparently kale is great for your frisky life. With essential vitamins like B6 that increase libido, you can’t go wrong.

3. Staying in the same alley, B6 is said to have an effect on PMS symptoms so before you grab that bottle of midol maybe go for some kale? Haha.

4. Can help lower cholesterol 

5. Good for detox and to overall help with people suffering ailments and potentially cancer 😉

The list could honestly go on but it shouldn’t take much more to convince you to get some kale in your system. You can cook your kale but I prefer to make kale salads and use kale in my smoothies. You can also use kale in soups and to make kale chips.  I look forward to sharing a few recipes soon via video. Until then, Got Kale??

Did you learn something new or do you have any recipes or special preparations for kale? Id love to hear them. Have a great day! ❤

With Abundance Comes a lot of S(tuff)!!

Posted on by

Im looking forward to writing more posts soon.. Very soon. As in starting tomorrow haha. I look forward to posting everyday at least until my birthday on January 9. A lot of exciting eco, outdoor, health, vegan, and holistic posts coming your way 😀 . Today Ill leave you with a personal story entitled “With Abundance Comes a lot of S&%^” and ill try to make this quick..

There’s a tree in my front yard that every winter once the leaves fall off it has thousands of berries that the birds love to eat. I mean tons. Well, the other day I watched as what appeared to be over 100 birds fly in the tree at once to eat and then repeat the process for 10 minutes leaving and coming back. I couldn’t help but be grateful for such abundance in my yard, I mean look at all those birds the tree was feeding. How abundant I thought. Without a thought, an hour later I prepared to leave my house to run errands, and to my surprise, guess what gift the birds left me on my car?? Yep. You got it. S*&^! Or for more common terminology, poop. Now this isn’t your ordinary bird poop. This is red berry bird poop, and when I say it was everywhere on my car, there were over 50 hits of target practice including on all my windows, handles, just everywhere, sigh. I was actually embarrassed. So embarrassed that for the first time in like 7 years I took my car to the car wash ( I usually get someone to wash it by hand).. and I thought to myself, why did it take such a circumstance for me to give my car 5 star service. Sometimes we won’t be rocked to greatness until life throws some stuff our way 😉 . The key is, don’t let it get to that point. But also, be clear, sometimes it’s unavoidable and perhaps,

The More the Abundance, The More S(tuff) You Should be Prepared to Handle… sometimes it just comes with the territory.        Happy Holidays!!!

If you have any cool holiday stories please share. Hopefully they aren’t as gross as mine. lol
