Super Health Honey!!

I LOVE HONEY!!   :   )  

Honey is one of the very best things in nature in my opinion.  Here are some of the ways that honey is helpful:

FIGHTS ALLERGIES:  My Daughter Penelope is very allergic to Cats.  When I give her a Teaspoon of Honey everyday the symptoms decrease Drastically. Especially itchy eyes!

INFECTION KILLER/CLEANSER:  I mean when you eat it.  A teaspoon to a tablespoon of honey mixed with a dash of Cinnamon fights and wards off infection and helps to cleanse the body.

GREAT FOR SKIN:  It works as a skin moisturizer, antiseptic for cuts and burns and even heals acne!

BOOSTER:  It boosts your immune system and your energy levels.

PARASITE REMOVER:  mix honey with vinegar and water and drink up.  It will help remove worms and other parasites.

ANXIETY TREATMENT:  Honey has a calming effect and can help with sleeping problems

CANCER PREVENTER:  Honey is full of Antioxidents

SORE THROAT THERAPY:  Grandma was right!!

HAIR TREATMENT:  Honey and Olive Oil add extra Moisture and Shine

**Just Remember you want Local Honey.  It will work the best for you becaues is in contact with the same elements that you are.  It works as almost like a vaccine when you use it for allergies.
** The Darker the better.  The darker it is the more pollen it will contain, therefore it will be more potent.

** The more you eat/use the better it works!!

Scandinavian Wedding

I work in the Bridal World,  and I am mostly Norwegian with a bit of Irish and German in the mix.  So what better theme for my first Bridal Idea Board than a Scandinavian Wedding!!   :   )   

I have just recently re-done my Master Bedroom in a Scandinavian style.  When I woke up I thought of how Lovely the Red, Yellow and Blue colors are together and thought if me and my fantastic Hubby Tony were to Marry each other again, this would be a great Bridal Theme!

Oh, Chi Tea....How I Love thee....

So it is my first posting and what better place to start then how I start my morning....and afternoon....and occasionally evening.    :   )

Chi Tea!  It is my Coffee.  I can not seem to function without it.  

Here are my 2 favorite brands.  Both are ALL Natual!!  Yeah!!    I prefer Good Earth, but Stash is a bit cheaper, which is good considering the frequency that I consume it.  Also for some reason the Decaf is tastier in my opinion.....weird...eh.  I add a tablespoon of  Local Honey ( I will get into my Honey obsession in posts to follow) dash of cinnamon and a tiny bit of Maca (Peruvian Root).  Then I mix with frothed Milk and sugar.  So yummy!!   Hum.....I think I will go make some now.   :   )
