Christian yoga: Trading ’om’ for ’amen’

Since I was in college I've been told that I was a healer.  From the lady who felt my hands while on vacation in the Carribean to the reiki healer who told me that if I don't use my gift that it will literally burn inside of me.  I've studied reiki, ashstanga yoga, intuituve cooking, and as of late I'm studying nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and taking bible classes at night.  I choose not to limit my views on healing and my gift to others is the ability assist in healing the whole body, mind, and spirit.  With that said I saw this article on Christian yoga and wanted to see what some folks think.  I don't think I am less of a believer in Christ because I practice yoga.  Some disagree.  Your thoughts?

Holistic skin care — You are what you eat!

Me with a pregnancy glow!

I've had skin problems most of my life.  Recently though, my breakouts have subsided with the addition of daily garlic to my diet, acidophilus and ceasing my tea runs to Sonic.  With my recent enrollment at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition I've had access to more health information and been keeping a journal of what I eat.  I came across this informative article which I wanted to pass along.  It is so true, you are what you eat!

I saw this almond butter recipe on a Facebook feed from my Institute for Integrative Nutrition classmate.  Her blog is Full Plate/ Meals in a Snap.  The website is www.mealsinasnap.com .  The recipe, actually came from a another website called Color Wheel Meals.  Thought I would pass this along since almond butter can be pricey.  Enjoy!

Great Cookies, A GoodBelly, and Greater Things to Come!

Yes I've been MIA lately.  Usually during the beginning of the year I like to take the time to revamp, rethink, and retool my mission.  There are going to be some great things coming from Southern Vegetarian Productions this year! 

During my down time I decided to take the GoodBelly 12 day challenge.  If you didn't know GoodBelly is a probiotic juice drink*.  It taste great and comes in many awesome flavors.   I like the GoodBelly Plus in the little shot cups because it gives me a measured amount that I can throw in my purse on the go.  Admittedly I didn't notice a difference until after I finished the challenge.  About 2 or 3 days afterward I noticed the stomach bloat that had subsided returned.  I started thinking, Wow, it does work!  I personally felt lighter and didn't have a sluggish full feeling that I often experience by the end of the day.  So today armed with a few coupons I am going back to get some more.  My only problem is that I have to buy extra because my kids looove it.  In fact at day 12 of my challenge I ran short because my oldest son took my last one.  Thanks to the folks at Good Belly for the coupons for my 12 day challenge and a great product.

Oh, and I almost forgot, for Valentines Day I made the best cookies for my hubby.  Here is a pic below.  Made with coconut sugar and spelt flour my husband ate most of the batch in one night.  I made 20.

In South Louisiana it is Mardi Gras weekend.  Have a safe and great time and I'll chat with ya'll soon. Take Care!!!!
