Don't Squelch A Cold

Well, well, well! I have a cold. I am miserable. I LOVE IT! And not just because my voice is all raspy and sexy... although it totally is. Nope, it's because I know that this cold is a vehicle for my body to cleanse.

Our bodies have different ways of eliminating built up toxins. It ALWAYS involves bodily fluid in different forms so when you're sick, the lovely fluid of choice is (of course) mucus or phlegm <--what a great word that is! HAHAHAHA! Bodily cleansing processes is one of the reasons that we should ALWAYS be well hydrated. It helps the toxins to flow out of the body. And no time is more important than when we're sick, which is why I bring up phlegm in the first place. Well, that and so I can say phlegm again. <-- see, you like it too, huh? :)

Sickness is a time of ridding the body of mega toxins in the ocean of phlegm production (phlegm count 4). In all different colors the toxins are removed, sometimes exiting the body forcefully with the violent coughing and the constant nose blowing. So the next time you get sick, before reaching for the cold medicine or vitamins to stop your sickness in it's tracks, please remember the human process that you might be disrupting. It's hard to do at first because after years of squelching sickness, TONS of toxins have built up and our bodies aren't used to having to fight through sickness so we are 100 times more miserable. But over time, dealing with a cold gets so much easier with less toxin build up and you end up being sick for shorter durations. 5 years ago when I stopped even taking vitamins to treat sickness my colds would be horrible sometimes lasting 2-3 weeks. Now my colds last a matter of days WITHOUT the convenience of suppressive drugs. So while I say I'm miserable, please know that for me (right now) it's an exaggeration. The soreness I feel the first day makes me enjoy hot baths, soothing teas and lots of rest... one might call that pampering. So on top of cleansing my body I can add pamping to the list. Yah, I am grateful for all the phlegm and see this simple cold as a sign of serious good health and an opportunity to care for ME. Not to mention the added benefit of this super sexy voice!
***Remember that when that phlegm comes up (nose or mouth).... get it out of you. It is our body's toxic trashcan.

***Warning: I am in no way telling someone not seek medical attention or not to follow their doctor's advice. I am however encouraging EVERYONE to consider their own health and to gather knowledge about their bodies so that they can make better choices when choosing a doctor. I for one look for a healer... NOT a medical practitioner. Remember that Penicillin was not discovered until 1928 (by Alexander Fleming <-- seriously, is that ironic or what?), so for MANY years people dealt with sickness having no notion on how sickness serves the body. We understand far more today and with the convenience of the internet... gaining knowledge that increases our ultimate health has never been easier. Even when Penicillin was discovered, it was only used in emergency, last-resort cases. And I can promise you, if I EVER feel like I'm dying and need medical intervention (drugs or surgery) for my health to stabilize... I will be in a hospital in a heartbeat and would recommend that anyone else do the same. But by allowing my body to re-learn how to heal itself, I found out VERY quickly that me being miserable and me feeling like I'm dying are two different things. As of yet, I don't know what dying feels like.

Past 7 Days....

Healthy Pizza

Welp... I'm on vacation. I alotted 3 days to be bad and eat whatever I want. Boy did I ever! Yuck! I feel nasty, and bloated and just generally "out of whack"! So today will be a light eating day. Oh how I wish I would have just gotten the supplies I needed to do The Master Cleanse ... Damage control: Healthy Pizza (it's what's for dinner! LOL!) 2 cloves garlic 1/4 C. of olive oil Blend until smooth in the Magic Bullet. Expect to have some left over to store for future pizzas. 2 Mission Carb Balance tortilla shells (I use 2 small, but you can use 1 large) Thinly sliced mushrooms Thinly chopped bell peppers (all colors) Diced onion Thinly sliced zucchini Diced Cabbage (any color) Non Fat Mozorella cheese Any other vegetable that you prefer sliced thin... make sure not to use veggies that are too wet, as that will keep the tortilla from crisping. And be sure that you don't overload the tortilla, or you might have a hard time picking it up to eat... remember... ...

Food Saver Gold - Give Away!!

Sometimes I am just not a master of the obvious! Most of the time, pretty simple things elude me, but this time... Here is a VERY small sample of my stash (wow, that almost sounds illegal)! It was during one of my organizational rampages that I discovered this amazing and economical use after having to throw out bottles of polish that had gone unused for years. What a waste!!! And yes, I missed that particular use in the infomercial from way back when! :) NOW I know that when you hit sales on things like nail polish or shampoos, you can stock up and vacuum seal them and they stay just like brand new for when you're ready to use them. This is something that will free many polish lovers who fall in love with a specific color but cannot stock up for fear that the polish will dry up before they are through with the first bottle. Not anymore polish addicts and future polish addicts... here's your fix! I even did that with last years Halloween makeup! You know... the make up that you...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
