COMMON COLD RELEF

now here's another tried and tested grandma's cure all "vicks vaporub". The key here is always at the first sign of your cold. What i do is i would rub some vicks on the chest, back, give them a massage. Then, the most important part is rubbing some vicks on the sole of your foot, wear socks afterwards.(its best to do this before going to bed) and even if you are already taking cold medication, you can still aplly this home remedy for your speedy recovery!



rub on the soles

dont forget to wear socks

As usual, get some rest. It will make you feel better the next day. you can always do this every night till your cold is gone. Take Care...:)

HEADACHE & MIGRANE RELIEF.....

A few years ago, i bought a book about home remedies. I thought it would be nice to share this with you.
Since most of us experienced headache or migrane, this wonderful home remedy would be a nice natural alternative espeacially at first sign of headache. I've tried it, as well as my husband and my daughter and it works everytime. All of the ingredients may already be in your pantry. So the next time you feel like you're having a headache try this instead, before you pop a pill and see if it works for you as well.
All you have to do is make some coffe(not the latte's pls.) toast a couple of bread, spread some butter and then put some marmalade on top. And Whala! get some rest and your headache is gone. (it's always best at first sign of headache) Try it and let me know if it works...;) i'll share some more home remedies next time.
Take care.....

THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS

A very mind blowing film about plants! Do they really think, feel and share the same consciousness with us?

Watch this movie and see for yourself. WATCH NOW ON NETFLIX!

After watching this film, my whole perception about life has completely change. I can't help but think; If we all share the same consciousness with the universe and all living creatures in the world, then maybe, if we all have a change of heart, a complete respect and love not just to one another but the whole aspect of life all around us..maybe we can all end the chaos in this world that we live in. There is no need to ask for a miracle, because the miracle itself is within us.

Watch this movie and share it with friends and family!

you might also like this one on NETFLIX....a very interesting film to think about.



Thanks...share your thoughts!

GEMOLOGY!!

So, a couple of weeks ago I have mentioned that we went to the Rock & Gem show here in our town.
I bought a few rough stones and after cleansing and recharging them, they are now ready to be use. My purpose is to energize important areas in my house like the bedroom, bathroom..etc...
Well, I grouped the stones according to where i needed them. For those of you who are interested to know,
or maybe even try doing it yourself here's what I did..

AMETHYST- this will energize your living room

ROSE QUARTS, CITRINE, AMETHYST, CARNELIAN, TIGERS EYE

this group will help energize your bathroom

ROSE QUARTS, PERIDOT, AMBER

will help energize your bedroom

AMETHYST, SMOKEY QUARTS

will energize your study

There you have it..I hope you this will inspire you. Just be sure to cleanse your stones before you use them. They absorb energies. It's always advisable to do your research about the stones before starting your collection. There are so many books on how to cleanse and recharge your stones, but on one video that I've watched, they say that you can always focus your energy on the crystals or rocks to do so. And that's what I do, rather than going through all the troubles. GOOD LUCK!
