Red Light Therapy
As we age, wrinkles and age spots sneak up on us and who likes wrinkles?
Being a former smoker, I was willing to try anything to reverse the damage of smoking.
Up until about a year ago, a friend, who happens to be a Medical Aesthetician, recommended using infrared light therapy in an effort to help treat wrinkles and improve the overall skin health. I’m also loving it for its collagen boosting benefits and have had amazing results from using it just a few minutes a day. Follow the directions that come with your device and resist the urge to over do it.
My husband is also using the red light to improve circulation and speed up tissue and wound healing from a recent surgery. His hand is healing quicker than expected.
The benefits of Red Light Therapy include:
- Helps rejuvenate facial skin and smooths skin tone.
- Helps to repair sun damage.
- Red light activates the lymphatic system for potentially improved detoxification.
- Decreases inflammation in the skin.
- Helps fade scars and stretch marks.
- Improves hair growth to reverse balding.
- Stimulates slow healing wounds.
- Beneficial for skin to reduce eczema, rosacea and acne.
I’ve found that it is more convenient (and likely much cheaper) to get the benefits of red light therapy at home. As there are a plethora of home devices for sale from a variety of manufacturers. The lamp that I settled for is durable and portable, It works great! check it out here https://amzn.to/2R8zYdM.

Butternut Squash and Chicken Soup
Why I stopped eating salads
Nutrition and Fitness is my passion; and fueling my body with healthy ingredients has been instrumental behind my weight loss. I truly believe you are what you eat. And its equally important to maintain good digestive and colon health. When it comes to eating healthy, It’s no surprise that I L-O-V-E Salads! If you’ve seen my Instagram, then you know that I’m passionate about eating dark leafy greens with bright vibrant colored organic vegetables. Unfortunately, I had to stop eating salads due to the discomfort I felt after consuming it. Then I realized the culprit was the salad dressing itself.
Normally, most bottled dressings are loaded with way too much sugar and other ingredients you don’t know or want in your food. Then I discovered there are much healthier salad dressings available, without all the unhealthy additives.
One of my preferred salad dressing is a Honey Mustard from Primal Kitchen , it has a sweet and tangy flavor, MADE WITH 100% PURE AVOCADO OIL and no additives, preservatives and refined sugars. My other favorite dressing is the lemon turmeric. very tasty and doesn’t leave your salad boring. Order yours day and get 20% off your first order.

When our dog got cancer, we did everything we could to extend his life.
One year ago today, we said goodbye to our sweet fur-baby, Brody. Unfortunately he developed many health issues early in life, having toxicity issues and terrible dental problems, which we implemented dietary changes to improve his quality of life. It was a punch in the gut to hear that my dog has cancer. Through much exploration, we were able to avoid chemotherapy and keep him as comfortable as possible. He lived longer than estimated by his dogtor, but sadly, the cancer won in the end. And now we strive to help others to improve their health as well as your pets health.
Feeding your pet healthy food is just as important as eating healthy yourself.
