Make Your Body FEEL BETTER.

You gotta take supplements guys.

I'd love to say that our healthy diets are providing us with all the nutrition and micronutrients we need - but  - it just doesn't cut it. Eating a carrot with lunch, some salmon and a handful of spinach and broccoli at dinner isn't giving your body what it needs to stay above the wellness line.

Micronutrients are required for normal growth and development of cells (organisms).

2000 IU of Vitamin D is recommended for adults between 19-50 years old and double that for when you're 50-65 years old.

Guys. Taking omega 3's can help with depression. WHAT. (here)
The one I take has DHA and EPA as well as some Vitamin D & E. Also Clove - Google clove guys.

Friends, we are constantly being bombarded with pollution / toxins / emotional and physical stressers.
We don't get enough sleep / movement / sun and our bodies have a hard time keeping up with the pollutants we are subjected to! Vitamins and minerals aid our bodies deal with these stressors and help us maintain normal body functions.

I did some basic research and found this list of questions helpful when looking into taking a multivitamin.

- Does it contain folate? Some bodies have a hard time converting folic acid to be helpful for their bodies, you need folate!
- Look for extras! Hopefully the vitamins you choose have some extras - what I take has bonus tumeric, fruit and veggie extracts!
- You probably want Vitamin K2 (over K1 - because we do ge more K1 from our diets than K2!).
- If what you're taking doesn't have Vitamin D or Calcium - take those separately (especially calcium for women!).

Lastly, if you want recommendations for vitamins I can help you out! I take Young Living supplements because their quality control is amazing, they hold incredibly high standards for all of their product. They offer great discounts as a member, and I can show you how that works if you have questions.

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ...

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo

Dinner Fail, Dessert Win!

Last nights dinner was supposed to look like this Instead it turned out like this It was a serious fail. The flavor was good, but it looked terrible and took more than twice as long to make as we thought it would. Oh and, it was a bit too crispy. BUT Dessert redeemed me, it was Kiwi Lemon Cheesecake - Yum! The recipe called for lemon curd, and when I saw how expensive it was at the store, I decided to try and make my own! It turned out great, and this was the end result It was not quite as solid as it should have been, but delicious non-the-less! Both of these recipes were from Rachel Ray's Everyday magazine. It was exciting making new things, hopefully next time they turn out a bit better :) xxoo
