Christmas Depression.

When I was a teen my parents ran a four bed foster home for teenagers. These teens had usually left home/had been kicked out due to fighting with their parents. Every Christmas Eve these teens would all rush off to spend a few days with their parents. With sugar plums in their head they would be hopeful of reconciliation. I am the type of person who wants a perfect world; and my heart would break for them as they would return early, with tears in their eyes and anger in their hearts. Every Christmas was the same

Palo Santo Essential Oil

Palo santo (Bursera graveolens) comes from the same botanical family (Burseraceae) as frankincense, although it is found in South America rather than the Middle East. Like frankincense, palo santo is known as a spiritual oil, traditionally used by the Incas to purify and cleanse the spirit from negative energies. Even its Spanish name reflects how highly this oil is regarded: Palo santo means “holy wood” or “sacred wood.”

Breakfast YUM!!!

Actually I hate breakfast. I don’t like eating in the morning. I don’t like taking the time to make food. I don’t like taking the time to eat. I usually hate all breakfast type food…oh unless it’s for dinner. I just really am NOT a morning person at all. And all my life I hear,”Breakfast is the most important meal..blah..blah..blah!” And the really sad part is that I agree. So I try to be good but like I said I’m not a morning person. So I don’t eat and then sometimes get some lunch if I remember. Then I’m starving at dinner time and eat tons. Then want to snack all night because I’m hungry. This would be great for me except that it makes me fat. I am super cheap so being fat is a problem when you can’t fit into your clothes. I don’t want to but clothes when I have lots already. So when I can only fit into a few pants I decided time to buck up and eat better. So I try eating breakfast. But cereal bores me, pancakes etc gag me. Lunch food would be ok but I am just not into meal prep in the morn..remember I am not a morning person. So I started taking YL Balance Complete.

When we were dating my future husband had a runny nose all year long. He had allergies but wouldn’t believe me. He used nose spray that opened up his nose passages and it made the allergies worse. But he felt he could breathe better. I think he became a nose spray addict! Well [...]
