Quick easy, smell good, non-toxic sun protection
September 5, 2014 by
It was Labor Day weekend, we were in Beverly Hills celebrating a milestone with friends.
I was so excited to be in one of the most beautiful and glamorous zip codes, the land of swimming pools and movie stars, but hubby was lamenting missing the first game of the University of Tennessee football season. He is HUGE college football fan!
Then one of our friends popped up with AMAZING seats to the USC game; Field Suite seats!
But I had not packed football stadium attire or, yikes, sunscreen. Luckily though, [Read more…]
Coconut Water find the best and leave the rest
September 3, 2014 by
I have been a huge fan of coconut water of the years. I clearly remember first time I walked out of a Hot Yoga class, downed my very first coconut water, and felt ahhhh-mazing!
I drank and recommended Zico for about 3 years before other companies jumped on the bottled coconut water band wagon. These days [Read more…]
Back to School With Ease
August 28, 2014 by
Heading back to school is exciting!
There are new pencils, notebooks, pens and friends to make. But for some, there is anxiety because of ‘performance’ issues.
Being able to focus during the school day plays an important role in how our children experience school.
If they are having difficulty focusing, chances are they are disrupting the class room, I did. During the first grade, I was put in an isolation box [Read more…]
EEW…what is THAT on my leg?
July 11, 2014 by
It has been a really long first six months of the year.
Recently, hubby and I got away to the beach for some needed alone time. It was so nice to sit on the beach and enjoy the sun, sand and surf.
But one day, as I was walking back from the beach for a break I felt something clammy and wet on the back of my leg. [Read more…]

44 Reasons Why You Need To Get a Good Night’s Sleep
July 11, 2014 by
Once people find out I’m a Certified Holistic Health Coach, they tell me all sorts of things.
The other day I met a lady that told me she just could not sleep. Honestly, she was a wee bit proud of the fact that she didn’t need sleep “the way most people do.”
She is a wife and mother of 4, ages 11-20, has a successful, challenging career, and she is active in the community. When I asked what time she typically goes to bed she cheerily said, “oh anywhere between 11:30 and 1 (a.m.)”. WOW! Say it with me, chronic sleep deprivation.
Then, she told me about the personal trainer she recently hired. Her personal trainer has her up for 4:30 a.m for workouts, so she thought for sure she would be able to sleep better, but she isn’t. (I didn’t have the heart to tell her that her new 4 a.m. wake ups would not whittle her waist as hoped.) [Read more…]

A Healthy Legacy

We all have a legacy. In fact, we have several. When we go the our medical providers, we give them our health history and the legacy of health handed down to us. When we create a family of our own, we bring traditions, beliefs and habits that are from our family and heritage, that’s legacy. We each have been given spiritual legacy, emotional legacy, physical legacy and even financial legacy. [Read more…]
