Holistic Rems & OOTDs

How's everyone's day so far??

We experienced almost a 90 degree day Monday!!

Therefore, I rocked one of my new Tarjay Maxis!!

I snuck outside for a bit and soaked in some vitamin D

and so did Holly Wally!

*Note the hyacinths growing; I planted them & they came up*
Yesterday hubs had off, since he will have to work

on Friday which is his normal day off. 

 Cardi: H&M

Tank: Loft

Jeans: Vera Wang @ Kohls

Black peep toes: Candies @ Kohls

It was a rather holistic kind of day and

aside from my annoying allergy sneezes,

I feel great!

Anyone else having allergy issues??

The husband had a chiropractor appointment

and I went along.
This guy was fantastic and I cannot wait to go

and get my adjustment from him!

You can't just go to any Chiro, you really need

to find a good one.
He shared a philosophy that my husband and I 

are taking very seriously.

If you have any issues going on..

migraines, stomachaches, stress, anxiety, obesity, etc...

{the list can go on and on}

Strictly focus on the 

CORE FOUR:

• eat 6 clean meals a day
• exercise at least 4 times a week
• 8 hours of sleep a night
• have fun

Before you have to go on all these crazy meds,

implement these core four principles and see if your

condition changes.

 I truly believe in this and it seems so simply stupid,

but really, how many of us eat 6 times a day?
And eat "clean" at that?

The chiropractor's wife is his assistant who runs

 the front desk. She made him

a protein shake as one of his meals while we were there.

It was such a positive and calming environment.

He really talked and listened to what shoulder/back

issues my husband's been having,

and he really cared to hear about us as people.

I told him how I stopped teaching to stay home

and his reaction was a lot different than most;

he literally clapped his hands in a circle and said

Good for you.

He really made my day!
We talked about how it's so traditional and 

to some people, seems backwards, but how

effective it is and beneficial to our health,

our lives.

{As I type this, the doggies are rolling around playing;

something they'd not be able to do if I was actually 

administering the ELA because they'd be stuck in their crates..

just sayin..}

After the chiropractor, we stopped over to get Joe's suit 

jackets taken in a bit & buy some new ones.

After that I went to some acupuncture for some stress relief.

She talked a lot about how it's in our genes and most of how

we are built, we cannot control.

She saw lots of 'heart heat' coming from the needles.

"Chinese medicine also believes that the Heart “houses the mind”. This may be a difficult concept to grasp, but according to Chinese medicine, the health of the Heart energy has a lot to do with our mental activity – even consciousness. The Heart governs our ability to sleep soundly, think clearly and have a good memory. A healthy Heart plays a big role in our emotional health and our ability to have meaningful relationships. When the Heart energy is weak and Blood is deficient, we may suffer from anxiety, insomnia, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, and in extreme cases manic behavior or coma."

I am a bit lot more sensitive than most,

and stress over things Joe wouldn't blink an eye at.

It's not my fault, but it does get the best of me sometimes.

My acupuncturist commended me at hows

proactive I am about it; I can tell

right away when I'm just feeling

a little bit worked up.

She told me to lay off

pickles, hot sauces, cinnamon, and any

other spicy triggers.

Funny how food can affect us, but I believe in it.

I cannot wait to be sipping the drink of the day on 

The Carnival Dream.

On the adults only.
