Ways to Enjoy Meals for One
Living alone can be a truly positive experience and planning quality meals is a great way to achieve this.
Shop smart by:
• Buying items that will last the whole week, so you only need to shop once. Foods that maintain their quality when canned or frozen are a great way to stock your kitchen.
• Only buying what you’ll eat before it spoils. Purchase the exact number of meat you need for the week’s meals.
• Considering buying both ripe and unripe fruits that will ripen later. Remember, you can speed the ripening process by putting bananas in a bowl of tomatoes.
Heat Stress or Heat Stroke?
Unlike heat stroke, a person with heat stress doesn’t typically have an elevated temperature or confused thoughts. It’s common to have heat stress when playing sports in the heat or working with heavy clothing on. People with heat stress should go into the shade, take off extra clothing, cool their body with tepid water, and drink lots of fluids. It is more common to get heat stress than heat stroke, but if you’ve been in the heat for an extended period of time, and find that you have a temperature higher than 38°C and are showing signs of confusion, you should go to the hospital immediately.
A Botox Alternative
Botox is a quick fix that inhibits the muscle movements that cause expression lines. This immobilizes the muscle for esthetic effect, but can sometimes cause the muscle to atrophy. This is beneficial for those who want to achieve a more slimming appearance to their faces, but a great alternative to Botox is microcurrent treatments, which help to lift the face and plump the skin. Microcurrent treatments encourage cell physiology and growth by mirroring the natural current flow of the body. The process is also non-invasive, so no needles are required, helping patients to breathe a sigh of relief.

Sports Massage for Golfer’s Elbow
Do you suffer from pain and tenderness inside your elbow? The pain and inflammation are usually a result of overusing the arm in a sport like golf or volleyball, where you repeatedly bend the wrist (wrist flexion) against resistance. Activities that subject your wrist and fingers to excess or repeated stress, like through throwing, hitting, or improperly lifting, combined with poor conditioning or lack of adequate warm-up, can contribute to golfer’s elbow. Massaging and stretching the muscles softens up the tissues and increases the blood flow to aid healing, and improves muscle function. Golfer’s elbow is a very treatable condition, although it can take a few sessions.
The Foot and Back Connection
It has been stated that lower back pain will occur in 80% of the population, sooner or later. An increase or a loss of the normal lumbar curve causes a loss of normal vertebral function and pain. This phenomenon is generally linked to a loss of normal foot function. Simply put, what your feet are doing, your lower back and pelvis will repeat. Collapse of the arches and ankle pronation causes lumbar spinal misalignment, leading to altered spinal curves and disc degeneration. This is addressed by the use of corrective orthotics to give the body a proper foundation, and with chiropractic care, to restore normal function.
Focus on Self-Improvement
“Don’t criticize them; they are just what we would be under similar circumstances.” – Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln had learned by bitter experience that sharp criticisms end in futility.
Do you know someone you would like to change, regulate, and improve? Great! That is natural. You may even feel justified. But why not begin on yourself? From a purely selfish standpoint, that is a lot more meaningful than trying to improve others – yes, and a lot less risky.
Anyone can criticize, condemn, and complain – and many do.
But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.

Selenite’s Calming Properties
Selenite is named after the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene, because of its soft white light, seemingly reflecting the moon’s rays. Its many metaphysical and healing benefits make it the perfect starter stone. Selenite is excellent for attaining mental clarity, helping with rest and meditation, and setting intentions of wellness and calmness towards your goals. Sleep with a palm stone under your neck for deep, soothing sleep, and to re-align your spine. It is a self-cleansing stone, and can also be kept in close vicinity of other crystals to cleanse them of their stored negative energies.
Surrendering Our Ego
I often refer to the ego as “everybody’s got one”; now our bigger choice and decision in life is what we do with it and how we use it. The ego’s function helps us distinguish between right and wrong and make sense of our world. No human being escapes the challenges of life, as it is the lessons and learnings that make us become conscious and grow us emotionally and spiritually. Some lessons we see coming, others arrive on our doorstep as a complete surprise. All require us to sort through our grief, loss, disappointment, hurt, anger, shame, and jealousy into clarity. When we get too bogged down and stuck in our emotional pain and begin to identify with our negative beliefs without fully releasing them, we are at risk of becoming our story and staying a victim to it. Lightening our load helps free the ego into expansiveness!
