Keeping Track of your Monthly Cycle

I just love this site and wanted to share it with you all.  It is a great way to keep track of your periods.  You input when you start your period, and it will track when you are expected to ovulate and menstruate again.  You can also opt for personal emails letting you know several days in advance when you will start ovulating, menstruating, and when to give yourself a breast exam.

Creating the Life You Desire

Lately I’ve felt stuck in a rut.  I haven’t been doing what I need to do in order to fulfill my dreams.  But I also feel that in order to do that, I really need to get clear about the kind of life I do want to have.

Seeking CLARITY~ getting to the root of what you want and mean.  If you are clear, it makes it much easier to align yourself with what you want~ attracting the right people, places, things and circumstances into your life.

So let’s get clear people…..so we can truly manifest!!!

I have created a few things to help me on my way.  My first idea came from one of Jerry and Esther Hicks books, Ask and It is Given (one of my favorite books).  It is a magical creation box.  In my magical creation box is anything and everything that I dream for myself.  You can write down ideas, tear out pictures from magazines, whatever is important to you or you want, add it to that box.  The more ideas you drop, the more your desire will be focused.  I have used this for over a year, and some of the things have already manifested.  The others are only a matter of time.

    

The second is my vision board.  I have done pretty well with my vision board.  I look at it everyday and its a constant reminder of what I WILL have in life one day.

The third, I just made for myself…..a journal.  It’s so I can get clear on everything.  I used to spend at least $10 for a journal from the bookstore, but I have found that I get much more enjoyment out of buying a cheap notebook and decorating it with scrapbook supplies I have lying around.

 I will probably write about things that I am grateful for, my aspirations, and goals.

Goal setting is important in making your dreams a reality.

I do the following yearly.  For 2011, I jot down all my goals, and put them into categories.

~Purpose, business/work, fitness, health, nutrition, personal development, spirituality, finances, friends, family, giving back, travel, fun stuff, and at the end write about things that I have learned.

At the end of the year, I will review everything I wrote to see what I have accomplished….and then create new goals for the following year.

Goals convert vision into energy.

Get clear and see your life change.

This May Just Be What I Need to Start My Day

If I told you there have been no mistakes,
that I understand every decision you’ve ever made,
and that the challenges you’ve faced, you’ve faced
for everyone, would you listen?

If I told you that what you dream of, I dream of for you,
that the only things “meant to be” are what you decide
upon, and that all that stands between you and the life
of your dreams are the thoughts you choose
to think, would you try to understand?

And if I told you that you are never alone,
that there are angels who sing your name in praise,
and that I couldn’t possibly be any more proud of you
than I already am, would you believe me?

Would you? Even if I pulled your leg, made you blush,
and winked between the lines?

Then I shall…

Is Microwaving Food Harmful?

I have decided to do away with the microwave.  Most foods that I reheat only take a few minutes on the stove.  Studies find that carcinogens are formed in virtually all microwaved foods tested.

~Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to ensure safe eating caused formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen.

~Thawing frozen fruits, microwaving raw, cooked or frozen vegetables also converted into carcinogens.

~Ingestion of microwaved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells in blood.

Essential Oils for Skin Repair

I am quickly becoming a lover of therapeutic grade essential oils.  They are powerful and yield some impressive results.  As an aesthetician, I am starting to add the following oils into my repertoire.

Lavender~  Lavender is a great go to oil for so many things.  You can use it for acne, redness and skin irritation.  I have also used it for cuts and burns.  Lavendar gently soothes the skin and minimizes spots and redness.

Myrrh and Frankincense~ These both help with fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet.  They stimulate cell regrowth.

Sandalwood and Rose~ Both are great for dry, flaky skin.  For best results, mix with a base cream to create a potent moisturizer.

5 Hidden Household Dangers

The following household dangers are straight out of the new book coming out next month, The Healthy Home, by Dr. Myron Wentz.

1.  Teflon pots and pans~ they release potential hazardous fumes and particles into the air such as toxic gases, carcinogens and global pollutants.

2.  “Wrinkle-free” sheets~ can expose you to the chemical PFC and is linked to reproductive and development toxicity, as well as cancers of the bladder and liver.  Switch to cotton or linen.

3.  Fluorescent light bulbs~ can make you feel drained because of mercury vapor.  Replace them with incandescent light bulbs.

4.  Electrical appliances~ Its known to unplug your appliances when you are not using them to help save on your electric bill, but it is also good because they create EMFs, or electromagnetic fields, which are linked to cancer clusters.

5.  Take off those shoes before you enter the house~ We walk through a lot of things outside, from car oil, pesticides, animal wastes and more.  Another reason why you shouldn’t eat any food you dropped on the floor.
