Back to Business

Hello Peoples! I’m back again after a good and long break! I was really hoping to post during the holidays but who was I kidding? Friends, family, eating, parties, where does one find the time? Forgive me if you guys were looking for new posts. Hope you all enjoyed the holidays as much as I did!

Over the holidays I had this amazing Rooibos Latte, and it was so good I had to find the recipe. So here it is to share with y’all.

Rooibos Latte

8 ounces double-strength, hot-brewed rooibos. (made with 2 tea bags or 2 spoonfuls of loose tea)

¼ teaspoon vanilla

Sugar to taste (optional)

4 ounces of heated milk

Whipped cream

Cinnamon

Mmmm mmm delicious! Plus rooibos is high in anti-oxidants and gives your skin a healthy glow! Try it yourself and let me know what you think J

Out With the Resolutions & In With the Gratitude!

What was your New Year’s resolution last year? If you’re anything like me then you don’t have the slightest idea. Year after year I make these resolutions and year after year I forget them. That’s why this year I’m swapping the resolution list and trading it for a gratitude list!

Being grateful is the first step to having a happy, healthy and positive life. The feeling of appreciation and gratitude are some of the most wonderful feelings to have and what better way to start of the New Year. Making a gratitude list increases your sense of well-being, and decreases feelings of depression. It also keeps your focus on the pleasant things in your life, keeping you in good spirit.

A good practice to do is to set aside one day a week and take a few minutes to sit alone and write down your gratitude list for the week. It’s okay if you don’t feel gracious when you first begin making gratitude lists, but I promise the feeling will come if you continue to have gracious thoughts.

Besides, I don’t need a brand new year to make a change in my life, I can decide to make a change in my life any day I choose and that my friends is the beauty of free will!

Below is a picture of one of my best friends Andrea. She's out working in the West now and we don't to talk as often we used to but I'm still SO glad that she exists in my life! I don't tell her that often enough but she is definitely one of the most beautiful souls I've met to date! Do you feel the same way about someone in your life? Why don't you tell them so! :)

United States Ranked 49th For Life Expectancy!

Since 1999, the US has dropped from 25th place to the 49th for world ranking of life expectancies! We don't need a "sick" care system, we need a health prevention system!


To promote healthier eating here's an excellent chart that shows you different food cravings and the nutrients that your body REALLY needs when the craving hits!

Would You Eat A Genetically Modified Apple???


What about this one???




I wouldn’t! That’s why I’m starting a campaign to protect the apples! PAGMO (People Against Genetically Modified Organisms). I would love to have everyone’s support on this, and if we make a stand together then we can fight to stop genetically modified foods! First thing’s first!

Leave Our Apples Alone!

According to The Chronical Herald, “Okanagan Specialty Fruits, a tiny biotech firm based in Summerland, B.C., has asked regulators in Canada and the U.S. to put their stamp of approval on its genetically modified crop.” Their crop is genetically modified apples that don’t turn brown! If that’s doesn’t seem unnatural to you than nothing does!

The only people that this will benefit are the creators and the grocery stores because they can keep their apples longer on the shelves. If people want to produce genetically modified then they should have to eat the apples every day for the rest of their lives. Then, if they live a happy, healthy life, their kids can have permission to produce the genetically modified apples and sell them but only with the necessary GMO labels. If I ruled the world these are the guidelines I’d present them. :)
