A friend came over and preformed it for me. She's good too. Found all my trouble spots without me saying a thing! She also told me I had holes in my aura that allowed energy leakage. The holes allowed illness to enter my body as well...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/341708I've toyed with the idea of using a Neti Pot for several months. Today, I finally took the plunge. Using the Neti Pot made my sinuses feel sooooo much better I wonder why I didn't do it sooner!! Most articles one reads on using a Neti Pot encourage the use of said pot daily with a lukewarm saline...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/334157There's nothing more relaxing after a hard day at work or taking care of kids than a hot cup of tea! Especially in winter, when the cold wind whistles outside, I like to kick back with a variety of herbal concoctions! Mostly, I blend my own but my favorite tea place on the web is Adagio Teas....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/332825I've been trying to increase our consumption of whole grains and fiber while decreasing our dependence on sugars and carbs. Part of my plan includes Nature's Own whole wheat, sugar free bread. Also, Bob's Red Mill grains and hot cereals figure into my plan. I've had a craving for Frosted Shredded...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/331596I've had a horrible cold the last few days. I haven't had a cold this bad in YEARS! Thank goodness I happened to have some Coldcalm on hand. Usually, I suffer through a cold with acetaminophen or Excedrine but this was too much. Sore throat, headache, alternating stuffy/runny nose, chest...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/330677Last time I went to the health food store, I snuck in a couple more items for making our household more organic and environmentally friendly. My first purchase was Bi-O-Kleen Laundry Liquid - For a Cleaner, Brighter & Softer Wash Naturally! I chose the liquid because it's easier on our septic...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/330376My husband and kids absolutely LOVE this dish. It's very easy to make and presents beautifully. I take this to potlucks and it always gets rave reviews. I made this yesterday for dinner (on hubby's request) and substituted crab meat for the ham. DELICIOUS!! Ham Florentine Wreath 2 8 oz packages...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/330228I've decided to offer advertising on my wildly popular See It In the Stars daily horoscope blog which receives about 500 to 600 clicks per month! Your 50 word ad which includes a link to either your blog (to increase clicks) or your website (to increase business), can be seen for as low as $5.00...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/322480Have you ever noticed that it's really cost prohibitive to eat healthy? Why fork out $5.00 for good food when one can just go to McD's or Wendy's and pick up a burger for a buck? Well, I've finally decided that if my own health isn't worth it, the future health of my children is. It scares the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/healthywitch/307146Here is an article I found VERY interesting regarding emotional issues and vision. Thought I'd share...
