Once upon a time, many years ago, this gal had a slight addiction to Diet Coke. I loved the carbonation, the slight sweetness and the extra zip of energy that it gave me. Fast forward into the future, I am now very aware of the unhealthy additives in sodas and I very rarely ever drink the stuff.

Removing soda from my life means that I had to somehow replace my favorite afternoon pick-me-up, which is how kombucha entered my life. I don’t remember the exact day when I first tried kombucha, but I know that it left a strong positive first impression and it wasn’t long before I was hooked. It really is a win-win when you can find a new guilty pleasure habit that is truly good for you.

Most of the days that make up our lives are routine and ordinary. We wake up, go to work, eat mediocre meals, etc. But the reality is that there are so many magical moments hidden within those 12 hours, you just need to learn how to find them.

There are so many small components that make up our day, both tangible and intangible. And by far the majority of them are choices we’ve made. We chose our homes, the clothes we wear, the foods we eat, almost everything is a choice. I truly believe you can chose joy. You can be very proactive in your own wellness journey by finding small ways to brighten your day.

We often associate IV drips with sickness and hospital stays. You may not realize that IV drip bags have recently become a new wellness trend and IV bars have started opening up in wellness hot spots cities such as Los Angeles, New York City and London. Instead of going to a juice or smoothie bar, you can actually go to a IV bar to get boost of vitamins and hydration.

With the increasing interest in IV treatments, it is helpful to know more about the different options. IV treatments deliver vitamins and electrolytes straight into the bloodstream, which is ideal for those who may use them at a pace the body can’t keep up with or for those who have difficulty absorbing vitamins and minerals.

One of the most popular options is the Myers Cocktail. It gets its name from John Myers, M.D., who pioneered the use of intravenous vitamins and minerals to treat various medical conditions. Here’s all you need to know about the Myers Cocktail.

Once the weather starts to get cold in the autumn season, I immediately I want to bundle up with a hot cup of tea in my hands. You really can’t get the full hygge experience without a warming hot beverage to sip and enjoy.

Artisan teas are especially wonderful on chilly days because you are enjoying both the aromas and the warmth in your mug, it’s truly a delight for the senses. These loose leaf teas are handcrafted by tea connoisseurs who carefully select the best herbs, flowers, dried fruits and more to create these highly complex tea blends.

Because I regularly suffer from migraines, I often have muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. Finding a drug-free solution to this chronic pain can be difficult, which forces you to open up and try new avenues of pain relief.

In this blog post I will describe my experience with cupping therapy, and hopefully provide helpful information for anyone interested in giving it a try for themselves.

In these past couple months life has been kinda crazy for all of us. Quarantine life has its ups and downs, but the truth of the matter is that many businesses are financially suffering. Sadly small businesses and “non-essential” companies are especially vulnerable during these uncertain times.

The good news is that companies like Etsy are going above and beyond to support their small business sellers. Instead of pulling back, they are going all in to champion for the artisan community. I’m proud to a be partner and affiliate of Etsy, they truly help so many creatives make their dreams come true.

One of the biggest aha moments I've had in my own wellness journey was discovering the power in taking daily probiotics. For as long as I can remember, I've always had abdominal discomfort, regularity and bloating issues. In the past it was such an issue that I could only wear fashion styles that didn't put any pressure on my abdomen.

Finally I went to a holistic doctor who recommended probiotics. At the time probiotic supplements weren't nearly as common as they are now and I had never heard of them. After consistently taking probiotics for a few weeks, I noticed considerable improvements in my abdomen comfort, energy levels and overall wellbeing. Yay for probiotics!

There's two times during the day when I do my best to take a moment and pause from the crazy shuffle of work life and parenthood. I put time aside in the morning to set myself up for success by creating a game plan, and secondly at night to unwind and shake off any stress from the day. For myself the mark of a good day is a productive one, where I feel like I accomplished everything I had planned.

Imperfect Produce took the revolutionary concept of taking the produce that didn’t make the cut to sell at the grocery store and giving it a new life. Because wonky produce can’t be sold at a premium price, you can get these farm fresh goodies at a discounted price.

Many people enjoy their morning coffee or tea from their Keurig machine but you may not realize how harmful K-Cups are to the environment. The construction of the cup with filter layers and coffee grounds make them very difficult to recycle. Separating out all the contents of the cups is time consuming and most people just end up tossing them in the garbage.

You know that feeling when you're so bloated that you can't button your jeans? Or maybe you feel so heavy and sluggish that all you want to do is lay down and be a couch potato? It could be that you've been on an overindulgent junk food binge and you feel like it's time to reset your body back into a healthy mode. If you are experiencing any of these scenarios then it may be the perfect time to begin a juice cleanse.
