As the weather chills down, that feeling of anticipation creeps in as the holiday season approaches. While many of us miss the earthy autumn feel for stressing over the months to come, I urge you to take a pause this fall and make your house a home with fresh autumn scents. Even better, you can do this with the oranges and deep reds of the season minus the toxic chemicals that dance on our TV screens and magazine pages promising the wonders of pumpkin spice in your home.
Little did you know that you have a secret flavor arsenal in your cabinet…yep! Your essential oils can be used in both cooking and baking to amp up your flavors and give those boring meals an extra umph. Most people assume that aromatherapy is the only way to use essential oils and many others are learning about the best way to apply them – but cooking with essential oils brings us back to their roots! Most herbs and plants were utilized in cooking and early medicinal purposes before distilling was perfected to create the high-quality essential oils that we utilize today. In addition, integrating essential oils into your cooking will positively impact your life in the future, both by saving you money and improving your health if you use them.
Sweater weather is upon us and our daylight hours are slowly dwindling. For many of us, fall and winter are the hardest months to stick with our healthy lifestyle goals. This time of year, I am so tempted to skip my workouts, pop some avocado brownies in the oven,and binge watch my favorite TV series.
In our normal womanly monthly cycle, we rely on two hormones – estrogen and progesterone.
It’s important to know that the menstrual cycle occurs in three phases: follicular, ovulatory and luteal. The first half of the cycle is known as the follicular phase and the second half of the cycle is known as the luteal phase. Midway through the cycle between days 12 and 16 ovulation occurs, known as the ovulatory phase.
This second half of the series will discuss two essential components to keeping your kids and family healthy all year long – exercise and immune support. Though they might not seem to go together, they are part of the four pillars that will create a solid foundation for your family – sleep, nutrition, exercise, and immune support. Find tips and recipes throughout this blog to support your family throughout the year, through the ups and downs and countless exposure to bugs and yuck that attack at will. Get them moving and keep them supported, mamas!
